Download or read book The Essential Legal Guide for the Professional Wrestler written by Eric C. Perkins and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The year is 2123 and the world has changed greatly from the one that existed in the 20th century, and not for the better. America is no longer a world power, the dollar is no longer the world's standard unit of currency, and the world is still trying to recover from a world wide economic disaster. Every aspect of life has undergone major changes, including the Christian religion, which has suffered a serious loss of credibility since Christ failed to return at the beginning of the 3rd millennium.. Wars have changed, and continue to change, the face of the world map. The worst of these wars are to be found in the Muslim world that is still trying to recover from two major wars with the Jews in which they suffered major defeats. The Muslims lost all that they had gained during the end of the 20th century and now no longer have access to the Holy sites in what is left of Jerusalem. The Muslim world is suffering from a lack of both unity and leadership such as they have not known for many years. Into this void comes a man of charisma and mystery, who holds out the promise of order and peace to a world that desperately needs it. This man holds out this promise not only to the Muslim world, but to everyone, everywhere. To the world at large, he offers the economic stability and prosperity that can only come with world wide peace. To the Jews, he offers to end the conflict between themselves and the sons of Ishamel forever. To the Muslims, he offers a return to the Holy sites of Jerusalem without conflict. To the Arabs, he offers a return to the glories of the reign of Salah al-Din, known to the West as Saladin the Great. Could this be the Mahdi that Islam has been waiting for? This man that comes to be known as.......The Arab. A novel of a world that may really come one day.....and a warning.

Book excerpt: A gift-worthy playbook of common and unexpected words and idioms that have their roots in sports and games. There are many metaphors we can quickly identify from the realm of sports: covering all the bases (baseball), game plan (football), and par for the course (golf). But the English language is also peppered with the not-so-obvious influence of sports and games, such as go-to guy (basketball) and dead ringer (horse racing). Filled with pithy entries on each idiom, plus quotes showing how big talkers from President Obama to rapper Ice-T use them, this quirky little handbook from former minor league ballplayer and award-winning journalist Josh Chetwynd is sure to be a conversation starter at tailgates, cocktail parties, and in the boardroom.

Book excerpt: From the award-winning author of The First Rule of Punk comes the story of four kids who form an alternative Scout troop that shakes up their sleepy Florida town. * "Writing with wry restraint that's reminiscent of Kate DiCamillo... a beautiful tale." —Kirkus Reviews, starred review When three very different girls find a mysterious invitation to a lavish mansion, the promise of adventure and mischief is too intriguing to pass up. Ofelia Castillo (a budding journalist), Aster Douglas (a bookish foodie), and Cat Garcia (a rule-abiding birdwatcher) meet the kid behind the invite, Lane DiSanti, and it isn't love at first sight. But they soon bond over a shared mission to get the Floras, their local Scouts, to ditch an outdated tradition. In their quest for justice, independence, and an unforgettable summer, the girls form their own troop and find something they didn't know they needed: sisterhood.
Download or read book The Squared Circle written by David Shoemaker and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2014-11-04 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A breakthrough examination of the professional wrestling, its history, its fans, and its wider cultural impact The Squared Circle grows out of David Shoemaker’s writing for Deadspin, where he started the column “Dead Wrestler of the Week” (which boasts more than 1 million page views)—a feature on the many wrestling superstars who died too young because of the abuse they subject their bodies to—and his writing for Grantland, where he covers the pro wrestling world, and its place in the pop culture mainstream. Shoemaker’s sportswriting has since struck a nerve with generations of wrestling fans who—like him—grew up worshipping a sport often derided as “fake” in the wider culture. To them, these professional wrestling superstars are not just heroes but an emotional outlet and the lens through which they learned to see the world. Starting in the early 1900s and exploring the path of pro wrestling in America through the present day, The Squared Circle is the first book to acknowledge both the sport’s broader significance and wrestling fans’ keen intellect and sense of irony. Divided into eras, each section offers a snapshot of the wrestling world, profiles some of the period’s preeminent wrestlers, and the sport’s influence on our broader culture. Through the brawling, bombast, and bloodletting, Shoemaker argues that pro wrestling can teach us about the nature of performance, audience, and, yes, art. Full of unknown history, humor, and self-deprecating reminiscence—but also offering a compelling look at the sport’s rightful place in pop culture—The Squared Circle is the book that legions of wrestling fans have been waiting for. In it, Shoemaker teaches us to look past the spandex and body slams to see an art form that can explain the world.
