Download or read book Wounded Lions written by Ronald A. Smith and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Jerry Sandusky child molestation case stunned the nation. As subsequent revelations uncovered an athletic program operating free of oversight, university officials faced criminal charges while unprecedented NCAA sanctions hammered Penn State football and blackened the reputation of coach Joe Paterno. In Wounded Lions , acclaimed sport historian and longtime Penn State professor Ronald A. Smith draws from university archives to answer the How? and Why? at the heart of the scandal. The Sandusky case was far from the first example of illegal behavior related to the football program--or the university's attempts to suppress news of it. As Smith shows, decades of infighting among administrators, alumni, trustees, faculty, and coaches established policies intended to protect the university, and the football team considered synonymous with its name, at all costs. If the habits predated Paterno, they also became sanctified during his tenure. Smith names names to show how abuses of power warped the "Penn State Way" even with hires like women's basketball coach Rene Portland, who allegedly practiced sexual bias against players for decades. Smith also details a system that concealed Sandusky's horrific acts just as deftly as it whitewashed years of rules violations, coaching malfeasance, and player crime while Paterno set records and raised hundreds of millions of dollars for the university.

Book excerpt: An authoritative, accessible, and gorgeously illustrated exploration into the lives of these remarkable animals Lions are the only social cat. They hunt together, raise cubs together, and defend territories together against neighbors and strangers. Lions also rest atop their ecological pyramid, with profound impacts on competitors and prey alike, but their future is far from assured. Craig Packer interweaves his discoveries from more than forty years of research—including a substantial body of new findings—to provide an unforgettable portrait of the African lion. He shares insights into the intricacies of lion life from birth until death and describes efforts to conserve lions in an increasingly crowded continent. With a wealth of breathtaking photographs by Daniel Rosengren, The Lion sheds light on a host of intriguing scientific questions, such as why males have manes, why lions are social, how sociality limits and stabilizes lion populations, how close inbreeding affects lion health, why lions become man-eaters, how lions and people can best be protected from each other, and how to ensure the lion’s survival into the next century. Engagingly written by the world’s foremost expert on African lions Integrates a wealth of findings from two of the most comprehensive field studies on any animal Features hundreds of stunning photographs that capture a broad range of lion behaviors, ecological interactions, and conservation challenges Blends vivid field anecdotes and graphics to give the reader a sense of adventuring into the lion’s world

This book was released on 2021-03-17 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if your loudest roar was found in your deepest wound? What if the test and trials that you have faced in this life were actually taking you somewhere or building you into something great? What if pain could actually lead to purpose? In Wounded Lions, Brian takes both men and women into the jungle of life to help them restore the roar for their dreams and the things of God. Wounded Lions is a call to those who have been hurt, wounded and thrown away by life. It is a reminder that all God's sons and daughters are Lion Kings and Queens. Brian challenges his readers to get up and roar again. It is possible to find value in our victories and defeats. There is a win even in your wounds. Now rise and roar! Lead like a lion! My question to you is: will you spend the rest of your life licking your wounds or will you rise and live through your wounds? There is a difference. Those who lick their wounds are stuck. They spend much of their time licking and thinking. The story they tell themselves and others is a sad one. It is a story of a defenseless animal who was attacked for no reason. The problem with those who lick their wounds is that they have yet to figure out that the only thing that is keeping their wound open and infested is the saliva from their own tongue. With every lick, they continue to infect that which was inflicted upon them. In other words with every word that rolls from their tongue, they infect their own lives. They are doing more damage to themselves than the person or situation that wounded them. The bible says, in Proverbs 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.
