They Made Good Great

Jim Barber

Synopsis

When the high school basketball season began in 1969, you could buy a gallon of gas for 35 cents and a U.S. postage stamp for 6 cents. Neil Armstrong had just set foot on the moon, Richard Nixon was president and Hurricane Camille had clobbered the Mississippi Coast.
The thirteen girls who would make up the Berrien High School basketball team were well aware of the historic happenings of their generation, but they had designs on making their own history.
Talented, experienced and athletic, the Berrien Rebelettes had come close to winning the Georgia High School AA state championship in the two preceding years. Indeed, Berrien was regarded as the most consistently winning high school girls basketball program in South Georgia since the arrival of Coach Stanley Simpson in 1961. But when tournament time came around each year, Berrien always fell short, having never advanced beyond the quarterfinals of the state tournament. The Rebelettes had been good but not good enough—until the 1969-1970 season.
Half a century after their crowning achievement, this is the story of a group of girls who turned good into great, gave Berrien County its first state championship of any kind, and solidified a legacy of excellence that extended over the next two decades. Written from the perspective of the women they became, They Made Good Great tells the story of that memorable season—when a group of girls determined to be their very best and produced a season for the ages, one that still lives in the memories of the players and their fans.

The Fine Print - How Big...

David Cay Johnston

David Cay Johnston has made a name for himself as the defender of the common man, calling out the rich and powerful for cheating the system at the expense of everyone else. Whether he's exposing unjust loopholes in the tax code that help the rich get richer or pointing out how powerful corporations pocket government subsidies at excessive taxpayer expense, Johnston is an eloquent town crier for justice and equality.Now this bestselling author has turned his attention to the sneaky stipulations hidden in the fine print of just about every contract and government rule. Johnston has been known to whip out a utility bill-any utility bill-and explain line by line what all that mumbo jumbo actually means (and it doesn't mean anything good, unless you happen to be the utility company). Within all that jargon, disclosed in accordance with all requirements to you, the unsuspecting customer, lie the tools many companies use to rob you blind. Even worse is what's missing-all the contractually binding clauses that companies hide elsewhere, yet still enforce.The Fine Print is essential listening for anyone who wants to wrest power back from devious corporations and end their longstanding consumer abuse.

The Myth of Mental Illness -...

Thomas S. Szasz MD

The fiftieth anniversary edition of the most influential critique of psychiatry every written, with a new preface on the age of Prozac and Ritalin and the rise of designer drugs, plus two bonus essays.Thomas Szasz's classic book revolutionized thinking about the nature of the psychiatric profession and the moral implications of its practices. By diagnosing unwanted behavior as mental illness, psychiatrists, Szasz argues, absolve individuals of responsibility for their actions and instead blame their alleged illness. He also critiques Freudian psychology as a pseudoscience and warns against the dangerous overreach of psychiatry into all aspects of modern life.
