  “Football’s massive popularity is undeniable, as are the many reasons players and fans are drawn to the game. But what is also undeniable is the game’s brutality and the troubling aspects of football culture at all levels. To whatever extent the reader shares Irv Muchnick’s perspective and conclusions, the evidence and arguments he presents deserve thoughtful attention.” — Bob Costas, Emmy Award–winning sportscaster 
  		 
  “Muchnick’s jeremiad digs deeper than ever into the greed and hypocrisy of high school and college football, and the trail of broken bodies left in their wake. His information on the perils of conditioning is essential reading and might save your kid’s life.” — Robert Lipsyte, author of The Contender and SportsWorld
  		 
  Football’s concussion crisis is well known, with our Hall of Fame heroes behaving erratically and dying young. But did you know that kid players across the continent die every year before a single ball is snapped — just from extreme conditioning drills directed by all-powerful coaches? And then, when the unimaginable happens, the football world simply buries the evidence, pays off victims’ families, and moves on …
  		 
  Without Helmets or Shoulder Pads presents the shocking stories of young men struck down by exertional heatstroke and other, often unacknowledged, causes. Taking the conversation about football and public health to a new level with investigations of the sport’s underreported worst tragedies and cover-ups it makes the case that no matter how much we enjoy America’s most popular sport at elite levels it belongs out of our public schools and off our public fields.

  In today’s world, the majority of asset-intensive organizations are still stuck with complex, rigid, and sometimes antiquated technology solutions that simply cannot step up to evolving challenges and an ever-changing market. Why do the world’s most important industries—ones that billions of people rely on for essential human needs—operate with approaches that run the risk of making them extremely inefficient and brittle? 
  What if it didn’t have to be that way? 
  Imagine a world where companies can move successfully into the future, where these brittle solutions are replaced with a flexible, simple approach that also delivers enterprise-grade capabilities. This book introduces asset operations management (AOM), an operating principle founded on the belief that asset-intensive organizations have much to gain by adopting new approaches to data, collaboration, and communication—all supported by modern, consumer-grade technology experiences. 
  The best-of-breed organizations in asset-intensive industries have been changing the way their businesses run for years, and they’re reaping the rewards. The rest of the pack is struggling to keep up in the new paradigm—one where asset operations is central to operating efficiency and organizational resilience.

  Quiet Collapse The: How Everyday...

  We often imagine environmental destruction as something loud and spectacular — burning forests, melting ice, rising seas. But what if the real collapse is happening quietly, in our shopping carts, kitchens, wardrobes, and inboxes? 
  The Quiet Collapse reveals how the rhythms of daily life — what we eat, buy, drive, and even stream — are silently transforming the planet’s systems. Through vivid storytelling and clear-eyed investigation, this book uncovers the hidden environmental costs behind ordinary habits, from the water footprint of a cup of coffee to the carbon trail of a single online purchase. 
  Yet this isn’t a story of despair. Author Alex Southwick shows that the same everyday actions fueling the problem also hold the power to change it. By reconnecting personal choice with planetary impact, The Quiet Collapse invites readers to see themselves not as passive participants in crisis, but as active agents in renewal. 
  Illuminating, hopeful, and unflinchingly honest, this is the book that makes climate change feel both intimate and actionable — not a distant catastrophe, but a quiet revolution beginning in our own lives.
