Download or read book The New Boys of Summer written by Paul Hensler and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2017-10-06 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1960s were among the most compelling years in the history of the United States, from the intensifying clamor for civil rights to the tragic incidents of assassination and war. Caught up in this sea of restlessness was major league baseball, and the manner in which baseball addressed the challenges of this decade would have a lasting impact on the game. In The New Boys of Summer: Baseball's Radical Transformation in the Late Sixties, Paul Hensler looks at the key issues confronting baseball during this tumultuous time. Hensler carefully examines how domestic racial issues, the war in Vietnam, assassinations of prominent public figures, youthful rebellion, and drug use each placed their imprint on the game just as baseball was about to celebrate its centennial season. The expansion of both the American and National leagues is also covered in depth, as are the new divisional alignments and major rule changes that were implemented in 1969. Other factors impacting the national pastime include the appointment of Bowie Kuhn as commissioner, the rising influence of Marvin Miller as the director of the players association, the construction of modern stadiums, and the rapid developments in information technology. An earlier generation of players was venerated as the Boys of Summer, and indeed, they continue to hold their rightful place in baseball’s legend and lore; but in the late 1960s, a fresh cast of characters made their own mark as transformations in the game brought baseball into the new modern era. Baseball historians and fans alike will be entertained and informed by this fresh look at the national pastime in the decade of discontent.

Download or read book Saving Central Park written by Elizabeth Barlow Rogers and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2018-05-15 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of how one woman's long love affair with New York's Central Park led her to organize its rescue from a state of serious decline, returning it to the beautiful place of recreational opportunity and spiritual sustenance that it is today. Elizabeth Barlow Rogers opens with a quick survey of her early life--a middle-class upbringing in Texas; college at Wellesley, marriage, a master's degree in city planning at Yale. And then her move to New York, where she starts a family and, when she finds being a mother and a housewife is not enough, pours herself into the protection and enhancement of the city's green spaces. Interwoven into her own story is a comprehensive history of Central Park: its design and construction as a scenic masterpiece; the alterations of each succeeding era; the addition of numerous facilities for sports and play; and finally, the "anything goes" phase of the 1960s and 70s, which was often fun but nearly destroyed the park. The two narratives continue to entwine as she finds a job in the administration of Central Park, founds the Central Park Conservancy, and transforms both the park and herself--a transformation that has led to the writing of her many books, to travels that have taken her to parks and gardens around the world, and to solidifying the prestige of one of New York's most conspicuous landmarks.

Download or read book Annotated Bibliography of Bratsk and Krasnoiarsk Hydroelectric Projects in Central Siberia USSR written by and published by . This book was released on 1966 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This annotated bibliography contains 352 references to books, monographs, pamphlets, and articles, largely from Soviet sources, on these 2 Siberian multiple-purpose projects being completed by Soviet constructors. The scope of the projects, size of the equipment being installed, and construction problems faced in an undeveloped taiga region with a severe climate make these projects of interest to American engineers. The USSR is understandably proud of its accomplishments and much has been written describing them. Soviet engineers have reported in detail the experience gained from the design, construction, and research problems and solutions as a basis for future construction of similar projects in Siberia. No effort has been made to evaluate the references, for the difference is usually one of attitude and not accuracy, and each contains some valuable or interesting information. The references are divided under these headings: General; Reservoirs and Dams; Powerplants; Turbines and Penstocks; Generators, Electrical Equipment, and Transmission Systems; Construction Materials and Equipment; and Welding and Metallurgy. They are relisted under headings of Bratsk and Krasnoiarsk by number, referring to the reference in the initial main category. Conversion nomographs, abbreviations and acronyms, and a list of Soviet technical periodicals are included under miscellaneous aids.

Download or read book Encyclopedia of African Airlines written by Ben R. Guttery and published by Ben Guttery. This book was released on 1998-01-01 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rainy season, terrain, and financial hardships have made the construction of highways and railroads nearly impossible in many parts of Africa. This lack of modern infrastructure has been overcome in some part by the development of air transportation. Hundreds of carriers--both small and large, government owned and private--have connected all parts of the continent. Together, they have had a tremendous impact on the African economy and the people. Country-by-country, this comprehensive reference work provides brief histories of over 700 airlines in 54 African nations. Each entry has the years of operation of the carrier, along with information on its origin, growth, and route structure. Aircraft usage, including registration numbers and nicknames, is covered in many cases. Any crashes involving aircraft in the carrier's fleet are also noted. An appendix gives the location of all major African airports.
