Download or read book The Streak written by John Eisenberg and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 2017-07-04 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A line-drive hit of a book” about the Iron Horse and the Iron Man—two legends from two eras of baseball—and the nature of human endurance (The Wall Street Journal). When Cal Ripken Jr. began his career with the Baltimore Orioles at age twenty-one, he had no idea he would someday beat the historic record of playing 2,130 games in a row, a record set forty-two years before by the fabled “Iron Horse” of the New York Yankees, Lou Gehrig. Ripken went on to surpass that record by 502 games, and the baseball world was floored. Few feats in sports history have generated more acclaim. But the record spawns an array of questions. When did someone first think it was a good idea to play in so many games without taking a day off? Who owned the record before Gehrig? Whose streak—Gehrig’s or Ripken’s—was the more difficult achievement? Through probing research, meticulous analysis, and colorful parallel storytelling, The Streak delves into this impressive but controversial milestone, unraveling Gehrig’s at-times unwitting pursuit of that goal (Babe Ruth used to think Gehrig crazy for wanting to play every game), and Ripken’s fierce determination to stay in the lineup and continue to contribute whatever he could even as his skills diminished with age. So many factors contribute to the comparisons between the two men: the length of seasons, the number of teams in the major leagues, the inclusion of nonwhite players, travel, technology, medical advances, and even media are all part of the equation. This is a book that captures the deeply American appreciation—as seen in the sport itself—for a workaday mentality and that desire to be there for the game every time it called. “It tackles the allure of human endurance and the pitfalls of fame, but it is mostly a baseball book for baseball fans. It succeeds as both a thorough accounting and a love note to the game.”—The Washington Post
Download or read book Getting My Bounce Back written by Carolee Belkin Walker and published by Mango Media Inc.. This book was released on 2018-02-13 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A middle-aged author shares her fitness journey, showing readers how to make time to exercise, get inspired to get fit, and be more confident and happier. You don’t have to run a marathon to be fit and healthy, or suffer through a triathlon that includes a half-mile swim in the ocean. But you do need an exercise habit. Especially as we age, exercise is not optional. Yet unless we had been athletes as kids or young adults, and few of us were, we do not know how to find our edge. Learning how to carve out time to meet our fitness needs or to push ourselves physically and mentally is one of the greatest challenges to aging well. Inspired by her popular blog “Be the Dog,” Carolee Belkin Walker shares her story of what it’s like to be a successful professional woman encountering all things fitness for the first time. Even if readers have never put on a pair of running shoes or repeatedly tried to develop a fitness habit, they’ll relate to the highs and lows of Carolee’s journey from the back of the pack to stumbling on a path to resilience and well-being. You could fit two Carolees inside what her body looked like in February 2014. But it is the powerful sense of confidence and resilience that’s had the greatest impact on her and inspires others. This book is about her digging in, discovering who she is, and seeing how far she can push herself to be strong, fit, healthy, and most important, resilient. Carolee’s writing is full of humorous situations as she decides to be an active participant in life and not take the setbacks, or herself, too seriously. Praise for Getting My Bounce Back “An autobiographical account of achieving physical fitness in middle age . . . . An upbeat, accessible account of one woman’s decision to make her body stronger and her life healthier.” —Kirkus Reviews “Most books and publications just show the end result, as if we magically appear at the peak of fitness and ideal look, but Carolee allows us to peek into her inner mind, showing us that there is a journey behind those photos . . . . For anyone who has ever wondered why everyone else made it seem so easy, this book is for you.” —Tina Muir, elite runner and host of the Running for Real podcast
