Download or read book The Crooked Rim written by Pam Borton and published by Morgan James Publishing. This book was released on 2021-10-05 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Crooked Rim motivates, inspires and empowers all readers with practical tools and strategies to master their own mindset, strengthen personal resilience and develop resilient teams, and perform like a corporate athlete to manage elevated expectations and insurmountable stress. Through The Crooked Rim, Pam Borton inspires hope, confidence, and a powerful belief that resilience and mental toughness are attainable. For more than 30 years, she has coached these principles and guided elite NCAA players and now corporate athletes to their own Final Fours...and she shows readers that they can do it, too. It is a personal playbook to master one’s own mindset for success. It is filled with real-life experiences, positive psychology and well-being exercises, emotional intelligence insights, best practices, successes and failures–everything an individual needs to be resilient and mentally tough in the game of life. The Crooked Rim teaches readers practical tools and strategies to master a tougher mindset, strengthen personal resilience and develop resilient teams, and perform like a corporate athlete to manage elevated expectations and insurmountable stress. It takes a holistic approach to navigate barriers and to deliver the level of excellence stakeholders expect today. It takes optimizing more than one aspect of life to achieve sustainable success. It takes the same approach elite athletes use to train to be the best – they focus on the physical, mental, emotional, and purposeful aspects of their lives. While corporate athletes must train in the same way to perform at their best, most try to accomplish this without the knowledge or coaching. The mind is the most powerful muscle in the body, and it can either propel one to new heights or prevent one from fulfilling their dreams. In The Crooked Rim, Pam shows how to build the mental muscle required to reach the next level and experience your own final four.

Book excerpt: A deliciously dark thriller with a shocking secret at its heart He spots the two girls through the cracked screen of beech, sycamore and leg-scratching gorse: a flash of red skirt and a unison of giggles . . . The smaller girl sees him first and she lets out a strange little squeak and jumps back, grabbing onto the other girl's T-shirt, revealing a flash of milky white shoulder. He grins. Something happened to Claire and Jo in Black Wood: something that left Claire paralysed and Jo with deep mental scars. But with Claire suffering memory loss and no evidence to be found, nobody believes Jo's story. Twenty-three years later, a familiar face walks into the bookshop where Jo works, dredging up painful memories and rekindling her desire for vengeance. And at the same time, Sergeant David Gray is investigating a balaclava-clad man who is attacking women on a disused railway, shocking the sleepy village of Banktoun. But what is the connection between Jo's visitor and the masked man? To catch the assailant, and to give Jo her long-awaited justice, Gray must unravel a tangled web of past secrets, broken friendship and tainted love. But can he crack the case before Jo finds herself with blood on her hands REVIEWS 'A deliciously dark thriller with a shocking secret at its heart' Fergus McNeill, author of Eye Contact 'A dark, chilling read that moves fast and builds to a brilliant climax. Superb.' Steve Cavanagh, author of The Defence 'In her atmospheric debut, Holliday effectively and spookily evokes small-town claustrophobia and backbiting.

James Benmore, author of Dodger 'A deeply unsettling story of bad deeds, complex loyalties and secrets better left buried, Black Wood is a thrilling debut which grips from the very first page and doesn't let go.' Eva Dolan, author of Long Way Home 'Holliday has a knack for creating fascinating, well-observed, and sometimes quirky characters.

Download or read book The Clash s Sandinista written by Micajah Henley and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2024-03-07 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the success of their instantly iconic double LP, London Calling, The Clash set out to do something “triply outrageous.” Named after the Nicaraguan rebels who successfully overthrew an authoritarian dictator, Sandinista! consists of 36 songs across six sides of vinyl. Produced by the band, it showcases their politics as well as their ability to adopt a multitude of genres ranging from punk, reggae, jazz, gospel, calypso, and hip hop. Free from the influence of their Machiavellian manager, Bernie Rhodes, The Clash still battled their record label to release the triple LP on their terms: three for the price of one. Despite its polarizing reception from critics at the time of its release, Sandinista! is often considered one of the greatest albums of all time. Nevertheless, critics and fans have spent over 40 years debating whether the album would be better as a 12-track LP. This book entertains that idea and considers what is lost or gained in the process. To do so, the book delves into the politics of The Clash, the spliff bunkers constructed for the production of the album, and the sacrifices made upon its release. It examines the album's 36 tracks and considers the significance of the record's dissection on behalf of fans who curate their own versions of the album in the mixtape, CD, and playlist eras.

Download or read book The Crooked Stovepipe written by Craig Mishler and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Named for a popular local fiddle tune, The Crooked Stovepipe is a rollicking, detailed, first-ever study of the indigenous fiddle music and social dancing enjoyed by the Gwich'in Athapaskan Indians and other tribal groups in northeast Alaska, the Yukon, and the northwest territories. Though the music has obvious roots in the British Isles, French Canada, and the American South, the Gwich'in have used it in shaping their own aesthetic, which is apparent in their choice of fiddle tunings, bowing techniques, foot clogging, and a distinctively stratified tune repertoire. Craig Mishler treats this rural subarctic artistic tradition as a distinctive regional style akin to Cajun, bluegrass, or string-band music. He uses convergence theory as the framework for showing how this aesthetic came about. His skillful use of personal anecdotes, interviews, music examples, dance diagrams, and photographs will appeal to general readers interested in folk music and dance, as well as to specialists.
