Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of the great ballplayers of the Negro League have been forgotten simply because baseball's Hall of Fame would not recognize black players until Jackie Robinson and Satchel Paige made their way into the Hall of Fame. For this book, more than 50 former Negro League players and baseball historians were asked to vote for players who they believe should have been included in the Hall of Fame, and to select an All-Time Negro League All-Star Team. In addition to presenting and discussing their choices, the book profiles the lives and careers of the players selected. Appendices include rosters of the players and historians who voted.
Download or read book The Deaths of the Popes written by Wendy J. Reardon and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-06-08 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The traditions associated with a pope's death have changed from when they were buried in the catacombs of Rome. Various ceremonies, rites and rituals developed over time, but a formal procedure was not initiated until the early 1300s and even then was not always strictly followed. This comprehensive reference book provides information on the deaths, funerals and burial places of each pope and antipope from St. Peter (Apostle) to John Paul I. (Innocent X was almost gnawed by rats because no one would bury him; Alexander VI was stuffed into a carpet and pummeled into his coffin; and the corpse of Formosus was physically put on trial...) The Introduction presents a brief history of papal funerals and tombs, and also covers modern burials. A unique feature of the book is its presentation of all papal epitaphs, in their original language and in English--many translated for the first time.

Download or read book My Generation of Achievers written by Stacy Diacou and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2013-08-09 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Greeks in America during the latter half of the twentieth century had a mission to establish themselves as valuable contributors to society. Hundreds of them achieved success, building businesses, communities, and relationships that still stand today. Journalist Stacy Diacou documented their achievements in her social columns for Chicagos Greek Press newspaper, and My Generation of Achievers is a compilation of her writings. Beginning in 1969, Diacou showed how these brave souls left their homeland and jumped over the hurdles of language barriers, joblessness, and empty pockets to create a better world for their children in the United States of America. Diacou profiles specific, treasured individuals in Chicago and reveals how they moved through society with grace and perseverance. Her columns document the fashion of the time, social gatherings, and the inner workings of Chicagos Greek American community up until 1996. From luncheons and history lectures to celebrity sightings and church youth groups, Diacou captures a snapshot in time of one of Americas most successful immigrant groups. Fun, insightful, and entertaining, My Generation of Achievers opens the door to a fascinating aspect of Greek-American history.

Book excerpt: Frustrated that most parenting books didn’t speak to modern-day mindful parents—especially dads—the author and her husband worked on a parenting guide for mamas and papas. This interactive guide to mindful living includes tips, tricks, and tasty recipes. It’s real, raw, accessible, research-based, and it’s ready to be implemented now. Flip to any page and you’ll find anything from essential oil blends for breathing exercises, mindful meal prep tips, family meditation scripts, smoothie bowl recipes, and more. The author demonstrates that parents can mindfully respond more and mindlessly react less to each other and to their children. Creating moments of stillness to reflect on parenting can be a challenge, but it can also be hugely rewarding. Mindful parenting is not about somehow becoming the perfect parent; it’s about being present in your parenting, with all its imperfections. Whether you’re a mama or a papa, you’ll appreciate the useful methods and achievable steps that will help you bring mindfulness into your life and the lives of your children with this parenting playbook.
