Download or read book Under Arrest My War With The Police written by Tom Parks, Ph.D. and published by Strategic Book Publishing. This book was released on 2013-06-25 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Synopsis: 'Under Arrest'...by Tom Parks is a true story of a young rebel who gets arrested and ends up behind bars. Ten months out of the author's life and ten months where he witnessed just how cruel people could be to each other. More a nuisance rather than a proper thug, this e-book is an insight into the young, mis-guided mind. The law-abiding general public never see the inside of a prison cell, had a prison sentence, or been on the wrong side of the law in any way. Harrowing and emotionally stark in places, perhaps that public should know what it is like to get locked up and serve a prison sentence. Intent on breaking the prison's top rule, escaping, the authors re-capture only made him more determined to upset the screws at every opportunity. About the Author: NA

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Complex Cases in Sport Psychology offers instructors and students a unique and novel approach to teaching and learning about sport psychology. The book consists of a series of character-driven narratives—set within the context of a university athletic department—which encourage discussion and critical thinking in order to find solutions to issues such as athletes lacking in motivation, introducing mental skills training programs and improving recruitment. The book begins with a section introducing the teaching cases approach (suggesting further reading and methods for its delivery), the university setting and the issues this context provides for the sport psychologist, and the cast of characters involved. It goes on to detail over twenty cases spread across four parts (organizational performance, team performance, individual performance, and injury and recovery), each based around a piece of theory and including clear learning outcomes, tasks and non-prescriptive guidance on reaching a solution. With online resources which include topical cases, further guidance on the teaching cases approach and an instructor’s manual, this is an essential supplementary resource for any instructor looking to provide experiential learning and encourage critical thinking in their sport psychology classrooms. Covering a full range of psychological issues in a relevant sporting context, it is also an important, hands-on guide to counselling for any upper-level student of sport psychology.

Download or read book Bella Figura written by Kamin Mohammadi and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2018-05-08 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “My ideal type of armchair travel: immersive, insightful, seductive. In Bella Figura, Kamin Mohammadi takes us to the year in Florence that changed her life, and gives us the tools to bring the grace of the Italian lifestyle to our own lives.” —National Bestselling Author Stephanie Danler “She walks down the street with a swing in her step and a lift to her head. She radiates allure as if followed by a personal spotlight. She may be tall or short, slim or pneumatically curvaceous, dressed discreetly or ostentatiously—it matters not. Her gait, her composure, the very tilt of her head is an ode to grace and self-possession that makes her beautiful whatever her actual features reveal.” This is the bella figura, the Italian concept of making every aspect of life as beautiful as it can be, that Kamin Mohammadi discovered when she escaped the London corporate media world for a year in Italy. Following the lead of her new neighbors, she soon found a happier, healthier, and more beautiful way of living. The bella figura knows: • That the food that you eat should give you pleasure while eating it. Pause for meals, and set a place, even if you are eating alone. • To seize any opportunity to get moving—be it taking the stairs, doing a coffee run at work, or dancing with abandon. • To drink a spoonful of excellent-quality extra-virgin olive oil four times a day. • To seek out nature, be it a city park, a tree on your street, or some wild place. • And to love yourself. The bella figura—occupies her space, emotionally and physically, with style and entitlement.

Download or read book Black Diamonds written by John Holway and published by Meckler Books. This book was released on 1989 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Black Diamonds brings back to life in their own words the times, characters and playing careers of 11 men who starred in the Negro Leagues. This follow up volume to Holway's award winning Blackball Stars (Meckler Books 1988) reveals history on two levels. First is the history on the field-the dramatic home runs, the World Series victories, and the All-Star game thrills, etc. The second is the history of the larger field, the nation. We meet Dave Barnhill in Zulu costume barnstorming with the Ethiopian Clowns, Buck O'Neil dodging bullets from the railroad cop in a hobo jungle, Gene Benson punching a soldier who ordered him out of a railroad car in Dixie, and many others. These men all lived a moment in history that will never return, a history that can now be a heritage to us all"--Page 3 of flaps.

Download or read book Invisible Men written by Donn Rogosin and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2020-10 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On Feb. 13, 1920, a group of independent black baseball team owners held a meeting at a YMCA in Kansas City, Missouri. While they couldn't have known at the time that they were about to change the course of American history, it was out of that meeting that the Negro National League was born. The league flourished throughout the 1920s and beyond, becoming the first successful, organized professional black baseball league in the country. By providing a playing field for African American and Hispanic baseball players to showcase their world-class baseball abilities, it became a force that provided cohesion and a source of pride in black communities. Among them were the legendary pitchers Smokey Joe Williams, whose fastball seemed to "come off a mountain top," Satchel Paige, the ageless wonder who pitched for five decades, and such hitters as Josh Gibson, Buck Leonard, and Oscar Charleston, whose talents as players may have even been surpassed by their total commitment to their profession and hardiness. Leading the leagues were memorable characters like Gus Greenlee of the Pittsburgh Crawfords and Effa Manley of the Newark Eagles. Although their games were ignored by white-owned newspapers and radio stations, black ballplayers and their teams became folk heroes in cities such as Chicago, Kansas City, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, New York, and Washington DC, where the teams drew large crowds and became major contributors to the local community life, with influence extending far beyond the baseball fields. This memorable narrative, filled with the memories of many surviving Negro League players, pulls the veil off these "invisible men" who were forced into the segregated leagues. What emerges is a glorious chapter in African American history and an often overlooked aspect of our American past.

Book excerpt: In Earth Fire, Zheann Sevem learns the price of hate as she is called on to prevent rebels from finding and gaining the aid of the dragons, known as Athenque, in freeing her people, the Rys from their Med rulers. On the way, she discovers that the dragons are also rebels who have been imprisoned for centuries. She is joined in her quest by two loyal Athenque, and Estaen teaches her about the magic she thought she understood, warning her that it would be needed in her fight against the dragons. They reach the dragon’s prison too late to stop the rebels from freeing them and setting off a chain reaction that Zheann realizes may destroy her world. She races to a mountain pass where she hopes to take a stand against the forces of nature, and watches helplessly as refugees swarm to three passes hoping to save their lives while others sabotage the effort. It all comes down to a contest between Rys magic and the forces of nature. In Soul Fire, the Med and Rys who fled to the central pass begin to pull their lives together, and Zheann learns the price of love. Their world has been saved but is no longer safe. Ash falls from the sky, clouds hide the sun, and the dragons have built a rival city north of the pass. Zheann finds enemies on every side, and when she is hexed, and her daughter is abducted, she learns the price of love. Now, in Word Fire, it turns personal. Zheann rides away from all she’s been trying to build in search of her daughter, the king’s mother, and a legendary trove of books that may hold the key to stopping the dragons. On the way, she struggles to master the hex that gives her great power, but power from which she longs to be free. On the way, she makes new friends and enemies but also discovers that one of the dragons, Venkis, has been busy. They reach Jitrodek, where Zheann learns the price of freedom.
