Jennifer Bonn

Synopsis

In her book, The Healing Power of Running, Jennifer Bonn describes how running saved her mentally, physically and spiritually, and she has put together stories of other runners as a testament to how running heals. Jennifer also wants readers to realize how accessible running is, and that everyone can adjust it to fit different goals and needs. Running can make you feel powerful, peaceful and hopeful, and the running community makes everyone feel accepted. The book also includes instructions on how to start a healing journey through running. "The Healing Power of Running is a book of realistic and actual events that can occur in anyone's life at any given point. It explains ways that running has helped others strive and be successful in healing, whether it is physically or mentally. I found myself laughing, crying and thinking, "Hmm... I need to do this!" It's empowering and makes you want to RUN like there is no tomorrow. The best part is it makes you want to create a bond with strangers, who become family. Read the book, and you, too, will want to heal by running." -- Kim Turner, Aircraft mechanic III-gen-mods "Jennifer Bonn writes an extremely helpful, energetic and therapeutic book on the challenges and rewards of running. The stories and examples, shared by the runners - with perfect notes about their journeys - will help both beginners and seasoned runners; Bonn's own running experiences alone are worth the read. She finds easy ways to explain how running can become addictive and life-changing. I'll become a healthier person, and possibly a better runner, just by reading it. The tips, guidance and instructions are what most of us could use in life, and it can be applied anywhere." -- Hal Cottingham, Director of operations, Global Technology Services "The Healing Power of Running is a very educational and enjoyable read. Through the anecdotes of friends and experts, Bonn threads the power of running throughout the text. Her love of running is palpable, making me want to pick up running myself. This is an inspirational book that will motivate any reader to be the best version of him/herself and informs beginners the things they need to jumpstart running in a safe manner. Anyone who runs, or wants to start, will find something to enjoy about this book." -- Lucy Kirby, Librarian From Loving Healing Press

Queen of the Negro Leagues -...

James Overmyer

The first woman inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, there was no one like Effa Manley in the sports world of the 1930s and 1940s. She was a sophisticated woman who owned a baseball team. She never shrank from going head to head with men, who dominated the ranks of sports executives. That her life story remained unchronicled for so long can only be attributed to one thing: her team, the Newark Eagles, belonged to the Negro Leagues.

In addition, this book contains updates regarding the Negro Leagues, its talented rank of players, and Manley's induction into the Hall of Fame. 
 
 
 
This important work shines the spotlight on a previously unsung segment of baseball history. Drawing extensively from Eagle team records and Manley's scrapbook, Queen of the Negro Leagues is the definitive biography of a groundbreaking female sports executive.

Sporting Blood - Tales from the...

Carlos Acevedo, Thomas Hauser

"This book may cement [Acevedo's] status as one of today's best boxing journalists." —Kirkus Reviews 
 
 
 
Boxing has one of the richest literary traditions in sports. From A. J. Liebling to Donald McRae, the sweet science has consistently inspired great writing. The work of Carlos Acevedo stands firmly in that distinguished tradition. 
 
 
 
In this expanded edition of Sporting Blood, Acevedo adds two new masterful essays—one about the murder of Stanley Ketchel, the other about the gangland slaying of Battling Siki—to those that made his debut collection an instant classic. Other highlights include a moving meditation on Muhammad Ali; a penetrating look at the enigmatic Charles "Sonny" Liston; and a vivid profile of Mike Tyson, which brilliantly conjures the Boy King's late 1980s reign of terror. Acevedo also offers many other unforgettable tales from boxing's dark side, featuring Jack Johnson, Joe Frazier, Roberto Duran, Aaron Pryor, Jake LaMotta, and more. 
 
 
 
Sporting Blood is a poetic throwback, a singular book that evokes journalism's golden age and places Acevedo among the best sportswriters of his generation.
