Charlie Joe Jackson, the most reluctant reader ever born, made it his mission in the first book to get through middle school without reading a single book from cover to cover. Now he's back--and trying desperately to get straight As in order to avoid going to academic camp for the summer. To do this, he will have to betray his friend, lose the girl of his dreams, and end up acting in a school play about the inventor of paper towels. Charlie Joe's not exactly the -school play kind of guy, - but desperate times call for desperate measures, in Charlie Joe Jackson's Guide to Extra Credit by Tommy Greenwald.

The Deadball Era (1901–1920) is a baseball fan’s dream. Hope and despair, innocence and cynicism, and levity and hostility blended then to create an air of excitement, anticipation, and concern for all who entered the confines of a Major League ballpark. Cheating for the sake of victory earned respect, corrupt ballplayers fixed games with impunity, and violence plagued the sport. Spectators stormed the field to attack players and umpires, ballplayers charged the stands to pummel hecklers, and physical battles between opposing clubs occurred regularly in a phenomenon known as “rowdyism.” At the same time, endearing practices infused baseball with lightheartedness, kindness, and laughter. Fans ran onto the field with baskets of flowers, loving cups, diamond jewelry, gold watches, and cash for their favorite players in the middle of games. Ballplayers volunteered for “benefit contests” to aid fellow big leaguers and the country in times of need. “Joke games” reduced sport to pure theater as outfielders intentionally dropped fly balls, infielders happily booted easy grounders, hurlers tossed soft pitches over the middle of the plate, and umpires ignored the rules. Winning meant nothing, amusement meant everything, and league officials looked the other way.
Mark S. Halfon looks at life in the Major Leagues in the early 1900s, the careers of Hall of Famers like John McGraw, Ty Cobb, and Walter Johnson, and the events that defined the Deadball Era. He highlights the strategies, underhanded tactics, and bitter battles that make this storied era of the game so memorable, while providing detailed insights into the players and teams involved in bringing to a conclusion this remarkable period in baseball history.

Название: Fight To The Finish: Gentleman Jim Corbett, Joe Choynski, and the Fight that Launched Boxing`s Modern Era ISBN: 1681791447 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781681791449 Издательство: Неизвестно Рейтинг: Цена: 36720.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: This book salvages one of boxing`s most legendary stories - a clandestine, 27-round war between San Francisco rivals "Gentleman" Jim Corbett and Joe Choynski on the deck of a barge. This gritty and colorful tale chronicles the Corbett-Choynski blood feud and one of the most inspiring displays of determination and courage in ring history.
James J. Corbett and Joe Choynski were destined to spill each other's blood.
In the beginning, the boxing legends were simply two lads scratching and clawing to find their way in the world. They grew up a mile apart on San Francisco's mean streets during the 1880s, ran in rival neighborhood gangs, and earned tough reputations as teenagers for their fistic prowess.
Corbett loved to play the role of the dandy, working as a bank teller and always dressing to the height of fashion. His gentlemanly appearance often deceived the brawlers he boxed in the gritty Barbary Coast saloons. From the start, he displayed a natural elusiveness and speed that would eventually revolutionize boxing and win him the World Heavyweight Championship.
Yet Corbett's road to glory almost ended prematurely due to a feud with Choynski, who proved his equal in the ring. Choynski developed a brawny physique in those early days as a candy puller and blacksmith before entering the ring with raw power and energy that electrified crowds.
Soon, San Francisco wasn't big enough for the two-up-and-coming pugilists. Locals clamored for an illegal "fight to the finish" to determine who was the city's best boxer. A parade of colorful socialites, gamblers, newsmen, and sporting hacks entered the scene as they tried to secure the match as they tried to outwit law enforcement.
Along the way, tensions swirled around the hype from outside forces who saw the Irish Corbett or Jewish Choynski as representatives of their ethnic pride. Club bragging rights also played a part in the drama. For the boxers, however, the fight was simply a matter of pride. Losing was not an option.
What ensued would captivate boxing fans for generations to come. The Corbett-Choynski feud resulted in arguably the most savagely contested fight in the annals of boxing history -- an epic, twenty-seven round brawl under the blistering California sun on a barge anchored near the sleepy port town of Benecia.
This is their legend . . .
Автор: Julie Fowler Название: The Grande Dames of the Cariboo: Discovering Vivien Cowan & Sonia Cornwall & their Intriguing Friendship with A Y Jackson & Joe Plaskett ISBN: 1927575192 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781927575192 Издательство: Gazelle Book Services Рейтинг: Цена: 22870.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Author Julie Fowler began a quest to find out more about an artist from the Cariboo named Sonia Cornwall (19192006). Through interviews, letters, original artworks, articles, exhibition catalogues, imaginings of conversations and occurrences, along with her own reflections on the experience, she pieced together a story of pioneering, love and the pursuit of art. But in searching for Sonia, Fowler found an unanticipated new friend in Sonias mother, Vivien Cowan (18931990). Vivien became a larger part of the story than Fowler could possibly have imagined. Fowler had discovered a hidden gem. In 1945, Vivien Cowan spearheaded the Cariboo Art Society with noted Canadian Group of Seven painter A Y Jackson. She had met A.Y. Jackson earlier that year at the Banff School, as well as another Canadian artist of note, Joseph Plaskett. Both painters, along with many others, would visit Vivien and her daughters, Sonia and Dru, at their property near 150 Mile House, the Onward Ranch. Vivien became the Grande Dame of the Cariboo, hosting some of Canadas greatest talent and at the same time promoting the work of local artists and creators. In this genre-bending work, Fowler expertly and creatively weaves her search for an understanding of her own passion for art and her love of the Cariboo with a mesmerising story of creative life in one of BCs earliest pioneer communities.
