Known as the "Man in the Brown Suit" and "The Baron of the Bluegrass," Adolph Rupp (1901--1977) is a towering figure in the history of college athletics. In Adolph Rupp and the Rise of Kentucky Basketball, historian James Duane Bolin goes beyond the wins and losses to present a full-length biography of Rupp based on more than one-hundred interviews with Rupp, his assistant coaches, former players, University of Kentucky presidents and faculty members, and his admirers and critics, as well as court transcripts, newspaper accounts, and other archival materials, this biography presents the fullest account of Rupp's life to date. His teams won four NCAA championships (1948, 1949, 1951, and 1958), one National Invitation Tournament title in 1946, and twenty-seven Southeastern Conference regular season titles. Rupp's influence on the game of college basketball and on his adopted home of Kentucky are both much broader than his impressive record on the court.
Bolin covers Rupp's early years -- from his rural upbringing in a German Mennonite family in Halstead, Kansas, through his undergraduate years at the University of Kansas playing on teams coached by Phog Allen and taking classes with James Naismith, the inventor of basketball -- to his success at Kentucky. This revealing portrait of a pivotal figure in American sports also exposes how college basketball changed, for better or worse, in the twentieth century.

Описание: Excerpt from The Galleries of Vienna: A Selection of Engravings After the Most Celebrated Pictures in the Imperial Gallery of the Belvedere, and From Other Renowned Collections in Vienna; With Descriptive Text The Italian painters who took nature as their guide, the pupils and followers of the great Michel Angelo da Caravaggio, possessed, with few exceptions, the important secret of imbuing their works with a close adherence to natural objects rarely found in the pictures of those masters who painted only from the ideal. They portray nature as it is; they make no pretensions to any fixed idea of grace, of grandeur, or of refined sentiment, but they seem to have produced them without effort - intuitively at the same time it must be admitted that these masters invariably chose the most favourable and attractive moment, that they well knew how to charm the senses of the beholder, and to spirit him away into the world of their perceptions.

The Bloodiest Prison Uprising in US Penal History provides lessons for present-day institutions involved in American corrections.
This is the untold story of the man in charge, who was intimately involved in the bloody prison uprising, and how he later suffered the politics of the uprising. Nominated as Secretary of Corrections two days before the New Mexico State Prison near Santa Fe exploded with violence on February 2, 1980, author Adolph B. Saenz was deeply involved in ending the prison insurrection, but not until thirty-three inmates died and more than two hundred others were injured.
The murdered inmates and their killers are identified, along with the corrections and state officials who were involved in the prison debacle. The problems and politics of dealing with a mass prison uprising are described in graphic detail, even as the book resonates with present situations and problems in American prisons.
