Download or read book Late and Close written by Paul Votano and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-10-03 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Relief pitchers have important roles in baseball today, often coming in to pitch at some of the game's most critical and exciting moments, but they have not always been a part of the game. This work provides a history of relief pitching in the major leagues and explains how, why, and when it began to evolve. It discusses the first managers--John McGraw, Leo Durocher, and Joe McCarthy--who used relief pitchers to win games, and the managers who took full advantage of it in later years--Casey Stengel, Earl Weaver, and Tony LaRussa. It also covers how and when the idea of a pitcher's hurling a complete game began to disappear, great World Series performances by relievers, how relief pitchers are rated and why, what the future holds for them, and how and when they were used not only to finish games but as long and middle relievers, setup men, and closers. Profiles of leading relief pitchers over the years are also included.

This bundle offers books one and two in one convenient file, with over 100,000 words of reading. Morgan Stark, a brilliant doctor, is stunned when his hospital’s resident is found murdered, clearly the work of a serial killer. The FBI needs Morgan, with his medical expertise, to decipher the subtle medical clues that will lead to the killer—but can he crack the code before it’s too late? FBI Special Agent Danielle Hernandez, 28, a rising star in the BAU, equally esteemed by her colleagues for her brilliance and determination, is not used to turning to a doctor for help in solving crimes. This unlikely partnership, though, may just surprise them both. In TOO LATE (Book #1), as brilliant as this team is, they are up against a diabolical mastermind who will stop at nothing to outwit them. And going too deep into his mind may just undo them both. In TOO CLOSE (Book #2), a string of women are found murdered, and Morgan feels certain that they share a similar medical history. But with medical records lost or sealed for privacy, will his assumptions lead him down the right road? Or will he make a mistake, and fail to save the next victim in time? A cat-and-mouse thriller with harrowing twists and turns and filled with heart-pounding suspense, the MORGAN STARK mystery series offers a fresh twist on the genre as it introduces two brilliant protagonists who will make you fall in love and keep you turning pages late into the night. Book #3 in the series—TOO FAR GONE—is now also available.

Download or read book Colonial Survey and Native Landscapes in Rural South Africa 1850 1913 written by Lindsay F. Braun and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2014-10-16 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Colonial Survey and Native Landscapes in Rural South Africa, 1850 - 1913, Lindsay Frederick Braun explores the technical processes and struggles surrounding the creation and maintenance of boundaries and spaces in South Africa in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The precision of surveyors and other colonial technicians lent these enterprises an illusion of irreproachable objectivity and authority, even though the reality was far messier. Using a wide range of archival and printed materials from survey departments, repositories, and libraries, the author presents two distinct episodes of struggle over lands and livelihoods, one from the Eastern Cape and one from the former northern Transvaal. These cases expose the contingencies, contests, and negotiations that fundamentally shaped these changing South African landscapes.
