At a time when cycling in the United States rivaled baseball as the nation’s most popular professional sport, along came Reggie McNamara, a farmer’s son from Australia. Within a month of his arrival in the United States in 1913, he had earned the moniker “Iron Man” for his high tolerance of pain and his remarkable ability to recover from seemingly catastrophic injury. The nickname proved justified. Not only was he tough, he was also one of the best and highest-paid athletes in the world.
During his thirty-year career, McNamara won seventeen punishing six-day races along with an inestimable number of shorter distance races, including high-profile events on three different continents, peaking in 1926–27 at the age of thirty-nine. The fans, media, and his fellow professionals all idolized him as an example of the true grit needed to succeed in this grueling and dangerous sport. Late in his career, however, hard drinking and injuries took their toll, and McNamara became estranged from his wife and children. He fought back just as he always had on the race course, conquering his addiction to alcohol and becoming one of the earliest success stories of Alcoholics Anonymous.
In this humorous and exciting biography of the original Iron Man, Andrew M. Homan pulls McNamara back into the spotlight, depicting a flawed but beloved man whose success in those unrelenting six-day races came at a price.

Описание: Concerted, international efforts to tackle the imminent threat posed by climate change are vitally important. In A Closer Look at Climate Change, referring to a philosophy of science called critical realism, the authors explain why evaluating climate change adaptation interventions is challenging. Critical realism has been utilized in various social science disciplines such as economics, sociology, geography and ecology. Next, the top five prospects for biochar promotion using Akha Chula are discussed. Akha Chula produces high heat and renewable energy without smoking and is environmentally friendly, ensuring long term soil fertility and better crop yield. In the following study, the authors aim to investigate how local communities cope with a variety of stresses in rural Zimbabwe. In semiarid regions, water scarcity is a prevalent stressor. Due to climate change, it is predicted that rainfall in Zimbabwe will become more uncertain in the future, exposing more people to water insecurity. This compilation concludes by describing the measures taken by Oman in relation to the environment since the 1970s. The origin of the UNESCO Sultan Qaboos Prize for Environmental Preservation and its establishment in 1989 is also discussed.

Описание: I know there's books and movies about successful teachers, principals, schools etc., but this isn't about them. This is a story of good and bad, God and the devil. I pray that someone, anyone, will find they can be successful if they let Jesus Christ lead them. That anyone has a chance to love and be loved. To say I'm hard headed is an understatement, but I'm living proof that the Lord can work with anyone. The names of individuals, and agencies are fictional. Any relationship to a real person is accidental and is not intentional. The story is true and did happen. May the Glory of God rest in you. Dr. Reginald E. Kelley, D. Div, M.S. of Ed.

Описание: How the 1970s' Oakland A's-a revolutionary band of brawling winners led by Reggie Jackson, Catfish Hunter, Vida Blue, Sal Bando, and Rollie Fingers--won three straight championships and knocked baseball into the modern age
The Oakland A's of the early '70s were the most transformative team in baseball history. Never before had an entire organization so collectively traumatized baseball's establishment with its outlandish behavior and business decisions. Or with its indisputable winning record: five straight division titles and three straight championships. The high drama that played out on the field was exceeded only by the drama in the clubhouse and front office. But those A's, with their garish uniforms and outlandish facial hair, redefined virtually every aspect of the game for coming generations.
Under the visionary leadership of owner Charles O. Finley, the team assembled such luminary figures as Reggie Jackson, Catfish Hunter, Rollie Fingers, and Vida Blue. Finley acted as his own general manager and-with an insatiable need for control-dictated everything from the playlist of the ballpark organist to the menu for the media lounge. So pervasive was his meddling that one of his managers, Dick Williams, quit in the middle of the championship celebration following Oakland's Game 7 victory over the Mets in the 1973 World Series. The advent of free agency spelled the end of Finley's reign; within two years, his dynasty was lost.
A sprawling, brawling history of one of the game's most unforgettable teams, Dynastic, Bombastic, Fantastic is a paean to a turbulent yet magical time.
