  With his trademark wit and distinctive voice, legendary Ball Four author Jim Bouton recounts his battle against local elites' efforts to replace Wahconah Park, one of the oldest parks in the United States, against the wishes and votes of local citizens. But Foul Ball is more than just a lively romp about saving an old ballpark near Bouton's home in Massachusetts. In a detailed diary—his first since Ball Four—Bouton takes us along on his wild ride into the teeth of corporate malfeasance, anti-democratic processes, the tyranny of a one-newspaper town, and the real reason why the good old boys wanted to build a new stadium. For the first time in two decades, enjoy Foul Ball as never before with freshly edited content and a new foreword from Jim Bouton's wife, Paula.c

  Pyotr: The Life and Music of...

  Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky was bestowed with a rare musical gift, but burdened by demons of self-doubt and passions forbidden in 19th century Russia. 
  He struggled to release the music inside his head. And equally, to find romantic fulfillment that always remained just beyond his reach. He was deeply affected by the women in his life – those he loved, those he despised, and those whose affection he longed so badly to hold. Yet, aside from music, his truest passion was reserved only for men. 
  Tchaikovsky refused to abide by the rules of the musical establishment of his time. Assailed by critics as being ‘neither Russian nor German,’ he endured scathing criticism, which he often took to heart, destroying many of his own ‘imperfect’ compositions. 
  This compelling new work takes you inside the head of Pyotr – from age seven to his untimely death at fifty-three. It also provides a layman’s guide to his music and his musical influences, and the techniques Tchaikovsky used to chart his musical destiny. 
  Reader comments: 
  “I love it! It's moving and makes me want to hear the music.” 
  "Flawlessly researched and completely engaging." 
  “You cry out in anguish as your mother and sisters disappear into the distance, leaving you all alone in a strange place, at such a tender young age; or wince in pain with lashings from the tutor.” 
  “As a musician myself, I nodded in understanding as Pyotr describes how the music of Mozart moves him to tears, while the notes appear as pictures in his mind.” 
  “I appreciated the intimate focus on Pyotr.” 
  “I felt compelled to play some Tchaikovsky after reading this, and settled on the first movement of the Manfred symphony.” 
  Go behind the scenes and journey into the life and music of one of the world’s most popular composers with Pyotr - The Life and Music of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.

  “It’s all about the story.” 
  So begins Babak Hodjat’s collection of tales in The Konar and the Apple. 
  An eight-year-old boy assigned the task of throwing flowers during the Shah’s visit. A teenager in boot camp eager to catch episodes of a popular Japanese TV show. An adult coming to the Unites States, ready to make his mark in the tech world.  
  These are just some of the personal experiences shaping Hodjat’s intimate narrative of a boy growing up in post-revolutionary Iran. The stories paint a picture of a middle-class, westernized boy experiencing all the common—and uncommon—adventures of childhood and self-discovery. 
  Blending both humor and insight, The Konar and the Apple transcends culture to celebrate the fun, innocence, and anticipation of growing up that unite us all. 
  - 
  “We rarely learn the back stories of today’s technology leaders – but here Babak Hodjat eloquently, entertainingly and compellingly recounts a coming-of-age journey through war, revolution... and love.” 
  	- David Rowan, Founding Editor-in-Chief, WIRED UK and author of Non- Bullshit Innovation 
  “What makes these coming-of-age stories of innocence and wonder so compelling is that they are told against the backdrop of growing up in the Islamist Republic of Iran. Hovering just behind the gentle banter of teenage boys at play are the regime’s tentacles reaching everywhere, even to the narrator’s hair, but also tearinga tight-knit family asunder.” 
  	- Micha X. Peled, Award-winning independent filmmaker, The Globalization Trilogy: STORE WARS, China Blue, Bitter Seeds
