Synopsis

Greatest Rivalries explores the captivating world of sports rivalries, diving deep into the historical, social, and psychological forces that ignite such intense competition. More than simple contests, these rivalries reflect our innate drive to compete, often pushing athletes to achieve unprecedented levels of excellence. The book analyzes how mutual antagonism can paradoxically elevate performance, shaping legacies and captivating audiences worldwide.

 
For example, regional identities, economic disparities, and political tensions all contribute to the intensity seen in clashes like Celtics vs. Lakers. The book dissects a curated selection of rivalries across diverse sports, using each as a case study to illustrate broader themes of competition, motivation, and the pursuit of excellence. It provides historical context, tracing the origins and evolution of each rivalry, including examining rule changes and shifts in team personnel.

 
By examining these rivalries, readers will gain a deeper appreciation for the role of sports in society, understanding the psychology of competition and the sociological impact of team rivalries. The book progresses by laying out an analytical framework, then dedicating chapters to specific rivalries like the Federer-Nadal tennis rivalry.

    School of Errors: Rethinking School Safety in America establishes another voice in the discussion of how to promote safe schools. It challenges the unchecked expansion of school fortification and questions the realized benefit of inter-agency collaboration during a sentinel event. This book offers an alternative to traumatizing simulations by providing clear options for improving school safety by the empirically-proven effective measures of leakage detection (preventive) and sensemaking (reactive). School of Errors restores the scientific method to school safety and clears a path through the media rhetoric fogging this vital topic. 
    School of Errors is hailed as "the most honest book ever written about the $3 billion school safety industrial complex." 
    *This audiobook has a companion PDF document.

    This book documents the remarkable story of a Woman's Relief Corps (WRC) chapter in Beaufort, South Carolina. The WRC is a national organization established as an official auxiliary to the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) in 1883. A Woman's Relief Corps post has existed in the city of Beaufort, South Carolina, in various forms since 1892 when GAR Post David Hunter No. 9 was established in the city, with statesman Robert Smalls selected as Post Commander in 1894. 
    While much of the record of the early Beaufort WRC was passed on through the esteemed oral history tradition, in 2019 members commissioned a study with the purpose of ensuring their story would be documented in print form and told for many generations to come. That story intentionally centers African American women as lead agents of change and co-creators of the patriotic spirit, an important theme given the fact that historically the national WRC was primarily White-led, and in southern localities like Beaufort, completely segregated. 
    Beyond the Corps' main purpose of documenting their lived experiences as WRC members, this story is compelling in the larger context as the nation contends with changing notions of its national identity and definitions of patriotism.

    The voice of Dallas McKennon is featured in this series. Dallas played Cincinnatus on the Daniel Boone show with Fess Parker. Dallas also voiced hundreds of characters for Walt Disney and acted in dozens of movies and TV shows.
     
    In each episode of The Great American West, we explore the facts, myths and the fiction about significant events or historical figures in our western heritage. You’ll hear stories about Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson, Jesse James, Bell Star, Annie Oakley and many others. The stories were written by a group of ex-Hollywood writers and American West history experts. The Great American West stories were written only with facts and no theory. These stories were crafted prior to the advent of the internet, meaning they had to read books, periodicals and transcripts. The idea was to let the listener make up their own minds.
     
    Our fine cadre of writers was headed by our lead writer, Patty Sprigg, who wrote for NBC television, The Daniel Boone and Disney shows among others. Nancy Bacon who wrote for NBC and David Nivens Four Star Productions. Rounding out our stable of writers was Ted Bryant, news anchor, political analyst and historical scholar.
     
    We hope you enjoy listening to The Great American West as we really enjoyed voicing these shows.

    The dramatic nature of Plato’s dialogues is delightfully evident in the Symposium. The marriage between character and thought bursts forth as the guests gather at Agathon’s house to celebrate the success of his first tragedy. With wit and insight, they each present their ideas about love—from Erixymachus’s scientific naturalism to Aristophanes’ comic fantasy.
     
    The unexpected arrival of Alcibiades breaks the spell cast by Diotima’s ethereal climb up the staircase of love to beauty itself. Ecstasy and intoxication clash as Plato concludes with one of his most skillful displays of dialectic.
