This edition brings to life the rich tapestry of 19th-century American literature, showcasing Alcott's signature blend of realism and sentimentality. Her works often explore themes of familial bonds, feminism, and moral integrity, intertwined with a critique of societal norms. The illustrations serve not only as decorative elements but also enhance the reader's experience, providing visual context to her vivid narratives. Louisa May Alcott, an ardent advocate for women's rights and a gifted storyteller, drew inspiration from her own experiences growing up in a progressive household in Concord, Massachusetts. Influenced by her father, Bronson Alcott, and contemporaries like Ralph Waldo Emerson, she developed a philosophy rooted in transcendentalism and social reform. Her personal struggles, including financial hardships and the influence of the Civil War on her writings, infused her works with a profound depth that continues to resonate with readers today. This illustrated edition is an essential addition to the library of any literary enthusiast. Alcott's keen observations and moral introspection are as relevant today as they were in her time. Readers will discover not just the tales of her well-known characters, but also the enduring spirit of a woman who tirelessly championed for justice and equality.

    In the plainest of terms, baseball scouts are tasked with seeing the future—a distant future, at that. Baseball's long developmental arc leaves room for plenty of twists and turns on the way to The Show. Some prospects shoot like arrows toward their projected potential, while others fizzle out or chart an unexpected course. 
 
 
 
Joey Votto was a lightly scouted high schooler out of Ontario. Charlie Blackmon was once coveted for his left arm more than his offensive potential. Mookie Betts "lost interest in the draft" as he went unselected round after round. Jacob deGrom refused to relinquish his role as a shortstop. Lorenzo Cain never even put on a baseball glove until high school—and then wore it on the wrong hand. 
 
 
 
Smart, Wrong, and Lucky explores how first impressions measure up to their aftermaths: the draft, years of progression, and for a talented few, major-league success. MLB.com writer Jonathan Mayo profiles a diverse range of modern stars and looks at them through the eyes of those who noticed them first as prospects. 
 
 
 
Featuring exclusive interviews with scouts, players, coaches, and more, this fascinating collection of origin stories is an ode to baseball's endless possibilities.

    In a pedestrian crosswalk on a quiet tree-lined street, Naseem is hit and then run over three times. Onlookers yell for the driver to stop as she hears her fate in her husband’s screams. Is he is watching the mother of his children die?   Miraculously, she survives, yet she is no longer the person she worked so hard to be. Her “cracks”—the changes to her body and mind—initially feel impossible to accept. In learning to embrace this new, unrecognizable self, Naseem decides to celebrate the day she almost lost her life as the day she discovered her true strength—her Unbreakable Day.   In this unique memoir, equal parts heart wrenching and inspiring, Naseem lays bare the reality of personal trauma—and how we each have the power to reimagine our lives and find beauty in being both broken and unbreakable.
