Sinossi

“A provocative and masterfully told account of an event that made pro wrestling an entertainment mushroom cloud.” — Tim Graham, The Athletic
		 
“A must-read book — an irresistible force of modern wrestling history.” — Tom Fordy, The Telegraph
		 
Greenberg lays bare how WrestleMania III legitimized wrestling as entertainment and reshaped the industry, offering insight and perspective from those closest to the event 
		 
On an overcast day in 1987, the pro wrestling landscape was altered forever when a reported 93,173 fans converged on the Pontiac Silverdome outside Detroit to see Hulk Hogan defend his championship against André the Giant. 
		 
BIGGER! BETTER! BADDER! is the story behind Wrestlemania III, told from the perspective of company executives, wrestlers who appeared on the card, fans who attended the show, and other wrestling personalities. But Keith Elliot Greenberg also examines the entire industry at the time, including insights from representatives from the rival promotions Vince McMahon was putting out of business as pro wrestling transitioned from a regional phenomenon into the international juggernaut it is today.

    `Cairngorm John is a remarkable piece of work: succinct, moving, compassionate, gripping, technically detailed and yet broad enough in its appeal to hold the attention of general audiences'-Rennie MacOwen, The Scots Magazine 
     
    `Cairngorm John portrays the human side of mountain rescue, clearly demonstrating the emotional roller coaster that's involved, as well as the camaraderie that exists within teams like Cairngorm Mountain Rescue. I wish every 'do-gooder' who insists on full-time professional mountain rescue teams would read the book and recognise that the main ingredients for a mountain rescuer are commitment, concern and enthusiasm. John Allen has all these in abundance. He also tells a very good story.' Cameron McNeish, TGO Magazine

    “A must-read!” — Derek Johnson, Director of Pitching, Cincinnati Reds, MLB
    		 
    What is different about teams that are consistent winners, those teams that always seem to bring their A-game when the stakes are highest? A positive team culture is likely the answer.
    		 
    We’ve all seen it happen: the team that looks great on paper, or has a league-leading regular season, but can’t pull out the wins or give their top performance when everything is on the line. As coaches and sport leaders what can we do to ensure that we maximize the potential of our athletes and teams so they are successful and continue to enjoy sport? How do we ensure that we coach in a way that benefits the team and remains respectful of the individual?
    		 
    In their first book together, André Lachance and Jean François Ménard offer tangible and practical strategies to help sport leaders create efficient group dynamics, build team culture, and help a group of athletes to gel. Using the periodic table of elements to organize concepts into a modular framework, the authors have created a powerful new resource for coaches in every sport.
    		 
    Building successful teams is not as simple as picking the best players: there are specific methods that coaches and leaders use to make their messages stick and to bring out the best in everyone within a group. Consistently, the healthiest team cultures have a huge impact on performance. That is the power of Team Chemistry.

    Donna J. Knight is a God-fearing and God-loving author and motivational speaker. Her testimony will both touch your heart and lift your spirit to new levels. Her recount of being led into a wilderness experience, under the guise of basketball, will evoke tears of sadness and tears of joy. 
    Knight's testimony of how she unconsciously developed a deep and meaningful relationship with God, our Father through the Holy Spirit that fills her from the inside-out, is truly inspirational. 
    Through her philosophical approach, Knight's ability to reflect and share her understanding of her wilderness experience to show how she was spiritually prepared for the passing of her thirteen-year-old son, is remarkable. THE BOY WHO SAW DOUBLE is a homage to her late son Rashard Miles Henry, a talented tennis player, who was diagnosed with Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG)
