Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you've ever played Bridge, you will love A Bidding Extravaganza. The book is a compendium of interesting Bridge deals encountered over twenty-eight years by its author Puneet Gangal, detailing his long journey playing in the realm of this great mind sport. The main emphasis is on bidding. The book is replete with examples of esoteric bidding, whereby the odds, even if heavily stacked against a player, can be manipulated to provide a happy ending or even a windfall. These bidding strategies are not merely flights of fancy, as every action is based on sound logic and all the deals have actually occurred in play. This is not a book for the purist, but for those who love adventure and don't mind living dangerously. Puneet Gangal, a top-ranking Bridge player from India earned a Master's degree in International Politics from the Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi. He is an independent consultant in Jaipur, India. He has written this book for the love of the game. "I also thought it would be a tribute to the memory of my father, the late Mr. V.S. Gangal, in whose lap I imbibed the seeds of a love that transcends everything else in life." Publisher's website: http: //sbpra.com/PuneetGangal

Download or read book Dreamers and Schemers written by Barry Siegel and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2019-10-29 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How one man brought the Olympics to Los Angeles, fueling the city's urban transformation. Dreamers and Schemers chronicles how Los Angeles’s pursuit and staging of the 1932 Olympic Games during the depths of the Great Depression helped fuel the city’s transformation from a seedy frontier village to a world-famous metropolis. Leading that pursuit was the “Prince of Realtors,” William May (Billy) Garland, a prominent figure in early Los Angeles. In important respects, the story of Billy Garland is the story of Los Angeles. After arriving in Southern California in 1890, he and his allies drove much of the city’s historic expansion in the first two decades of the twentieth century. Then, from 1920 to 1932, he directed the city’s bid for the 1932 Olympic Games. Garland’s quest to host the Olympics provides an unusually revealing window onto a particular time, place, and way of life. Reconstructing the narrative from Garland’s visionary notion to its consequential aftermath, Barry Siegel shows how one man’s grit and imagination made California history.
