Sinopse

In Ralph Henry Barbour's "Double Play," the narrative unfolds within the vibrant world of high school athletics, capturing the trials and triumphs of young athletes navigating the pressures of competition, camaraderie, and personal growth. Barbour'Äôs literary style is characterized by its engaging dialogue and vivid, action-oriented descriptions, reflecting the frenetic energy of youth sports. This expertly crafted tale not only immerses readers in the excitement of the game but also addresses the deeper themes of friendship, rivalry, and the quest for self-identity - elements often found in early 20th-century young adult literature that aimed to inspire and entertain young readers. Ralph Henry Barbour was deeply immersed in the culture of sports, a passion that undoubtedly influenced his writing. Known for his vivid storytelling and focus on young male protagonists, Barbour utilized his own experiences as an athlete to weave narratives that highlighted the significance of sportsmanship and moral character during formative years. His background reflects a commitment to instilling values of teamwork and perseverance, essential to the adolescent experience. "Double Play" is a compelling read for anyone interested in the nuances of youth sports and the dynamics of adolescence. It serves as an excellent resource for educators, parents, and young readers alike, combining entertainment with valuable life lessons that resonate far beyond the sports field.

    Published in Rock and Ice Magazine in 1986, this essay, co-written by John Long and Dwight Brooks, tells the story of a hair-raising caving adventure in Papua New Guinea. This selection is part of the full length audiobook, "Explore: Stories of Survival From Off The Map." 
     
    Dwight Brooks (born 1954) is an independent novelist and teacher. John Long (born July 21, 1953) is an American rock climber and author. A skilled free climber, Long popularized "free soloing" (climbing with no rope) during his high school days out at Joshua Tree National Park, first introducing John Bachar to the practice in 1974 with their now fêted ascent of Double Cross, at Joshua Tree. Long's many climbing feats include the first one-day ascent of the most sought after rock climb in North America, the 3,000 foot Nose route on El Capitan, on Memorial Day, 1975, with Jim Bridwell and Billy Westbay. The following year, partnered with Dale Bard, Long made the second one-day ascent of El Cap via the West Face, in the remarkable time of five hours. He followed this with blitz ascents of Leaning Tower, Washington Column, Half Dome and Ribbon Falls, precipitating the modern speed climbing movement so popular today, both in Yosemite Valley and beyond.

    This is the story of the adventures of Stobcross Gentlemen's Climbing Club. Against all the odds thrown up by the Scottish weather, faulty map reading and the symptoms of physical decline, they strove to maintain the fine traditions of Scottish mountaineering. They battled through their Munros and Corbetts whilst valiantly trying to celebrate Burns' Night, Guy Fawkes Night and Hogmanay in a ritual calendar of the Scottish Hills.
    
    Alongside these adventures are explorations of a different kind – ones into the history of the bothies and the mountains that make up the present day landscape, as well as the stories of those who have vacated the bens and glens within living memory. Based on Ian Mitchell's research and experiences, Mountain Footfalls adds a new dimension to hillwalkers' appreciation and enjoyment of the Scottish Highlands.

    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)
