  Phantom of the Peak is a work of fiction that will take you to magical places and events. It's main themes are Mountains and Music or perhaps its Music and Mountains. The musical pieces referenced range from all time classical favorites to some truly ridiculous titles. The mountaineering climbs range from the High Himalaya to the Flatirons above Boulder Colorado. The characters are all fictional, and any resemblance to any living person is coincidental. Some of the places and events are real, and some are left to your imagination. The climbing in the High Himalaya is considered to be, "off the map," although there are actually places like that in the real world. There are twists and turns to the events, and you are never quite sure what will happen next. There are some exaggerations in talents, but it never hurts to strive for the impossible. It's good to imagine that these people might actually exist. It's a big complicated world. Nobody knows everything that is out there. Oh yes, there is a powerful romance involved. Join me for my trek into a fantasy land!

  Traumatic brain injury in football is not incidental, but an inevitable and central aspect of the sport. Starting in high school, through college, and into the NFL, young players face repeated head trauma, and those sustained injuries create lifelong cognitive and functional difficulties.Concussion Inc. reveals the decades-long cover-up of scientific research into sports concussions, and the ongoing denial to radically reform football in North America. This is the complete head injury story, from the doctor who played fast and loose with the facts about the efficacy of the state-mandated concussion management system for high school football players, to highly touted solutions that are more self-serving cottage industry than of any genuine benefit.Known for extensive reporting on the tragic story of the Chris Benoit murder-suicide, Muchnick turns his investigative analysis to traumatic brain injury and probes deep into the corporate, government, and media corruption that has enabled the $10-billion-a-year National Football League to trigger a public health crisis.

  When Lily and Alex entered a packed gymnasium in Queens, New York, in 1972, they barely recognized their son. The boy who escaped to America with them, who was bullied as he struggled to learn English and cope with family tragedy, was now a young man who had discovered and secretly honed his basketball talent on the outdoor courts of New York City. That young man was Ernie Grunfeld, who would go on to win an Olympic gold medal and reach previously unimaginable heights as an NBA player and executive. In By the Grace of the Game, Dan Grunfeld, once a basketball standout himself at Stanford University, shares the remarkable story of his family, a delicately interwoven narrative that doesn't lack in heartbreak yet remains as deeply nourishing as his grandmother's Hungarian cooking, so lovingly described. The true improbability of the saga lies in the discovery of a game that unknowingly held the power to heal wounds, build bridges, and tie together a fractured Jewish family. If the magnitude of an American dream is measured by the intensity of the nightmare that came before and the heights of the triumph achieved after, then By the Grace of the Game recounts an American dream story of unprecedented scale. From the grips of the Nazis to the top of the Olympic podium, from the cheap seats to center stage at Madison Square Garden, from yellow stars to silver spoons, this complex tale traverses the spectrum of the human experience to detail how perseverance, love, and legacy can survive through generations.
