Summary

"Street Luge" offers a deep dive into the thrilling world of this extreme sport, where athletes reach incredible speeds on asphalt. It explores how gravity, aerodynamics, and cutting-edge technology converge to make this high-speed endeavor possible. Readers will discover that street luge evolved from skateboarding in Southern California, driven by the desire for greater velocity.

 
This book uniquely combines sports with technology, delving into the engineering and physics that underpin the sport. The book progresses logically by first introducing fundamental concepts like gravity and aerodynamics. It then examines the evolution of luge technology, the training regimens of professional riders, and the advanced physics involved. By presenting wind tunnel data and insights from riders and engineers, "Street Luge" illustrates how athletes manipulate aerodynamic principles to achieve extreme control.

 
Ultimately, the book highlights street luge as a dynamic intersection of human skill, technological innovation, and the laws of physics. It's valuable for sports enthusiasts and engineering students alike, providing a comprehensive understanding of this often-misunderstood sport and its potential for future advancement in areas such as board design and safety equipment.

    Skyway - The True Story of Tampa...

    On the morning of May 9, 1980, harbor pilot John Lerro was guiding a 600-foot freighter, the Summit Venture, into Tampa Bay. Directly in the ship's path was the Sunshine Skyway Bridge. Suddenly, a violent weather cell reduced visibility to zero at the precise moment when Lerro attempted to direct the 20,000-ton vessel underneath the bridge. Unable to stop or see where he was going, Lerro drove the ship into a support pier. 
 
 
 
Skyway tells the entire story of this horrific event, from the circumstances that led up to it through the years-long legal proceedings. Bill DeYoung pieces together the harrowing moments of the collision, including the accounts of witnesses and survivors. 
 
 
 
Among those whose lives were changed forever was Wesley MacIntire, the motorist whose truck ricocheted off the hull of the Summit Venture and sank. The lone survivor, MacIntire, like Lerro, was emotionally scarred and remained haunted by the tragedy for the rest of his life. 
 
 
 
DeYoung offers a history of the ill-fated bridge, from its construction in 1954, through the addition of a second parallel span in 1971, to its eventual replacement. The result is a detailed portrait of the rise and fall of a Florida landmark.

    The inspirational story of the compassionate and wise animals of the Gentle Barn and how they became a therapeutic salve for countless guests—and mentors for all of us in how to live and die 
 
In Cow Hug Therapy, Ellie Laks recounts the extraordinary journey that started with her first teacher, Buddha—not the religious figure, but a rescued miniature Hereford cow. One evening Buddha wrapped her neck around an exhausted and upset Ellie and transferred a singular form of healing and comfort with an incredible impact. Understanding that this was something to be shared with others, Ellie developed Cow Hug Therapy, a groundbreaking approach to emotional healing that has proved effective for trauma, illness, disabilities, addiction, grief, and stress. 
 
This colorful and compelling narrative introduces the healing mavens of the barnyard, each with a unique story of being rescued from trauma and treated with love and respect. In their new role at Ellie’s Gentle Barn sanctuaries, these animals have transformed lives and ignited breakthroughs and newfound purpose for visitors including a young mother who lost her baby, a suicidal teenager, a wounded serviceman, an open-heart-surgery patient, and many more. A testament to empathy and the mission to heal animals, people, and the planet, Cow Hug Therapy serves as a beacon of hope for all seeking healing and connection. 
 
“This book shows not only the power of Cow Hug Therapy with these wonderful creatures, but also their beautiful, individual personalities.”—Christina Applegate
