Against the Boards: A slow burn, fake dating, fade-to-black hockey romance (Canadian Played) by Cynthia Gunderson (Amazon Digital Services) 4.3 Stars (96 Reviews)    Price verified 7 minutes ago

As seen on TikTok! People say opposites attract, but now I have proof. There's zero rationale for why I would fall for Tyler Bowen. I mean, he's the star winger of my brother's hockey team and yet is better known for his moves off the ice. His playboy reputation is a huge red flag. Though that was exactly why I asked him to kiss me. In front of my overprotective brother. As a joke. Oh, did I forget to mention that wanting Tyler was supposed to be a prank? I didn't plan on liking that kiss. I didn't anticipate Tyler's dad finding out, or that he'd offer me the job of a lifetime. I suppose it doesn't matter that we're working together and playing a part for my new employer. Tyler's made it crystal clear he's not into serious relationships, even though the sparks flying from our fake touches might just be intense enough to melt the ice. I don't chase after players, and I'm not about to start now. All I need to do is finish the job and skate free because having Tyler close is enough to make me forget why the two of us could never happen... Against the Boards is a slow-burn, closed-door hockey romcom. Audiobook narrated by the author.

Conditioning the Gaited Horse* for Endurance: *and Other Horses , Too! by Nancy Morgan Reed 3.8 Stars (16 Reviews)    Price verified 7 hours ago

Conditioning the Gaited Horse for endurance: Morgans 3rd book of horses, this one specifically geared for conditioning a gaited horse to success in endurance competition, with a narration of conditioning rides on 5 different gaited horses, and graphs for you to print and make your own conditioning graph for your endurance prospect.. The gaited breeds are gaining in popularity in the sport of endurance, largely due to their special middle gait which is smoother than most other, non-gaited horses, whose middle gait is a trot. One quarter of all members of AERC are over the age of 50, and the smoothness of the gaited horses is becoming more and ever more attractive. But it is admitted that conditioning of the gaited horse for endurance is a little different and perhaps more challenging than it is for the other, more popular breed of horse used in endurance. And so people are starting to ask questions and are looking for answers and guidelines for any special needs for conditioning the gaited horse for endurance competition. I outline in the workbook some exercises that will increase 2 fold the fitness of your horse. In diagrams I show the differences between a fit horse, and one that is not ready for competition and how to tell where your horses level of fitness lay. And the final graph shows with scientific certainty that the conditioning ride improves heart rate and recoveries. The work will be all worth it in the end. These intelligent animals become the best of friends and give it their all when confronted with difficult tasks, and when their bones harden and their grow strong and their hearts and lungs work to improve efficiency, the reward is great and one very worth the hard work. And there may be few people more equipped to deal with these questions than the author, who has been riding horses for almost 50 years, and who has ridden, trained, and bred Tennessee Walking Horses during most of her life, and who has completed endurance rides for the last 12 years ...

Catch Wrestling: The Ultimate Guide To Beginning Catch Wrestling (Martial Arts - MMA, Mixed Martial Arts, Grappling, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu) by Jeff McCall 3.3 Stars (51 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

3rd Edition Just Released! No Increase In Cost! Limited Time Offer At This Price! Catch wrestling (or Catch As Can Wrestling) is a bit of an umbrella term that captures several similar grappling arts. Generally speaking, current forms of catch wrestling are jacketless (no gi) arts that allow a wide range of submissions and also honor pins as a way to win a match. It is an extremely effective form of grappling and helped to establish an early form of Mixed Martial Arts. Much like Judo, catch wrestling got its start in the Middle Ages when armored knights would fight one another. The heavy metal armor presented real problems for the attacker, and one solution was to take the knight down and use the extra force of gravity to help defeat the prostrate man. They turned to wrestling traditions that existed in their respective cultures, which included a great deal of techniques for combat situations. Knights were full time soldiers who spent their lives developing and honing martial skills, and as a result the Middle Ages were something of a golden age of European martial arts, and to this day we still have combat manuals written by masters of the time. Getting started in Catch Wrestling can be daunting. But training martial arts is one of the most beneficial things I've ever done, mentally and physically, but getting over the beginner's hump was where a chunk of those benefits come from. Thankfully the Internet now allows us to learn more easily from those who came before us. Here is what you will learn in Beginning Catch Wrestling • What is catch wrestling? • Where did catch wrestling originate? • Who invented Catch wresting? • How did Catch wrestling change into professional wrestling? • How does catch wrestling differ from Judo? • How does catch wrestling differ from Brazilian Jiu-jitsu? • How does catch wrestling differ from Russian Sambo? • What happens in the average Catch Wrestling class? • Is Catch Wrestling right ...

Rise: A Collection Inspired by Lift by Rebecca K. O'Connor 4.2 Stars (22 Reviews)    Price verified 13 hours ago

In celebration of the Kindle version release of LIFT, an award-winning falconry memoir, author Rebecca K. O'Connor shares a complementary collection of essays, short stories and poetry that further examines life in the shadow of a raptor's wings. LIFT, Rebecca K. O'Connor's arresting memoir of love, loss, relationships and one impossible peregrine falcon is further illuminated with this collection of writings on the world of falconry. The opening short story, "A Good Falconer Lets Go," about a teenage boy and his red-tailed hawk is a classic coming-of-age tale with a falconry twist. If you are a dog lover, "Heart to Tear" and "About a Dog", essays which read like O'Connor's love songs to the dogs of falconry will resonate with you, if not evoke a few tears. In short essays such as "The Knife" and "Storytelling" O'Connor explores early moments in falconry in the icy-clear voice readers grew to love in LIFT. The collection also includes a glossary on falconry and a bonus excerpt of her novel in progress, a post-apocalyptic wilderness adventure. If you have read LIFT and loved it, this short collection will add to your experience. If you've yet to read O'Connor's writing, RISE may encourage you to read more. ~~Praise for LIFT~~ **Novelist and nature reference author O'Connor (Falcon's Return) crafts a lyrical tribute to the spiritual connection between humans and birds in this memoir of the excruciating, transformative process of training a peregrine falcon: "Falconry is a religion, a way of thinking, a means of experiencing life." Indeed, readers will find almost as much spiritual content as natural. Despite O'Connor's icy-clear voice, her descriptions of training a young male falcon are fascinating for bird lovers and civilians alike: "when the falcon connects a high-speed dive... the duck remains a piece of the sky and only its body careens to earth." Surprisingly, periodic flashbacks to a troubled childhood -- an abusive stepfather, an absentee mother -- ...

The Mental Game of Tennis: Peer Instruction for Junior Players (An Edition Specifically Written for Junior Girls Book 1) by Kyara Sutton 3.9 Stars (11 Reviews)    Price verified 7 minutes ago

Choosing to embark on the tennis journey has lifelong benefits. Tennis is an individual, elite sport. Participation in the game of tennis breeds leaders. Finding a way through a tough opponent even though you're having a bad day is persistence. Staying in the right side of your brain even when things are clearly not going well is persistence. Staying engaged until the very last point is persistence. Design a plan of action, a focal point for each day's practice session. By far, the most important issue is playing their game. That means exposing your strengths, hiding your weakness and running your best patterns to perfection. In essence, it's about pulling the opponent into your best style of tennis. Small adaptations, as well as complete different tactical approaches, are needed to be developed. Let's first take a look at what mental training actually is. Mental, emotional training is the practical application of finding solutions to common pitfalls. We often hear, "I have trouble closing out a 5-2 lead", "I play terrific in practice but horribly in matches", "I can't beat a moonball, pusher", "I can't handle cheaters!", "I have trouble focusing for the whole match!" Mental, emotional training focuses on solving these issues. You may be hesitant and a bit unclear about the role of mental or emotional training. This type of instruction involves more than simple fundamental stroke production. Developing the "hidden" skill set within your game is crucial for peak performance. It is a myth that only players with abnormal behavioral problems need mental or emotional guidance.

51 QUESTIONS FOR THE DIEHARD FAN: LOS ANGELES DODGERS by Ryder Edwards 3.5 Stars (8 Reviews)    Price verified 4 hours ago

The Dodgers won World Championships in Brooklyn and LA during the same decade and boast a devoted fan base on both coasts and all points in between; and today, thanks to past stars like Fernando Valenzuela and Chan Ho Park, that fan base is spread the world over. Every Major League team has a history -- but this is the franchise of Jackie Robinson. Every Major League team has players they call "heroes" -- but with Robinson you can drop the emphasis: he's truly an American icon, American hero, baseball legend, and Dodger great. This is the franchise of Walter Alston, Leo Durocher and Tommy Lasorda; Walter O'Malley, Larry MacPhail and Branch Rickey; the timeless calls of Vin Scully; and no fewer than 43 Hall of Fame players who spent a portion of their careers with the Dodgers. You can't tell the story of baseball's history without the Dodgers. This trivia book is intended to help diehard Dodger fans celebrate their beloved team. It's been a long time since April 21, 1890, when the franchise recorded its first official victory in the National League -- but 124 years and 10,000 wins later the team is still going strong, still producing great players and historic moments. Enjoy the trivia, Think Blue, and have fun reminiscing.

Jews in the Gym: Judaism, Sports, and Athletics (Studies in Jewish Civilization Book 23) by Leonard J. Greenspoon (Purdue University Press) Price verified 12 hours ago

For some, the connection between Jews and athletics might seem far-fetched. But in fact, as is highlighted by the fourteen chapters in this collection, Jews have been participating in-and thinking about-sports for more than two thousand years. The articles in this volume scan a wide chronological range: from the Hellenistic period (first century BCE) to the most recent basketball season. The range of athletes covered is equally broad: from participants in Roman-style games to wrestlers, boxers, fencers, baseball players, and basketball stars. The authors of these essays, many of whom actively participate in athletics themselves, raise a number of intriguing questions, such as: What differing attitudes toward sports have Jews exhibited across periods and cultures? Is it possible to be a "good Jew" and a "great athlete"? In what sports have Jews excelled, and why? How have Jews overcome prejudices on the part of the general populace against a Jewish presence on the field or in the ring? In what ways has Jewish participation in sports aided, or failed to aid, the perception of Jews as "good Germans," "good Hungarians," "good Americans," and so forth? This volume, which features a number of illustrations (many of them quite rare), is not only accessible to the general reader, but also contains much information of interest to the scholar in Jewish studies, American studies, and sports history.

Owning the Olympics: Narratives of the New China (The New Media World) by Monroe Price (University of Michigan Press) 4.5 Stars (4 Reviews)    Price verified 43 minutes ago

"A major contribution to the study of global events in times of global media. Owning the Olympics tests the possibilities and limits of the concept of 'media events' by analyzing the mega-event of the information age: the Beijing Olympics... A good read from cover to cover." -- Guobin Yang, Associate Professor, Asian/Middle Eastern Cultures & Sociology, Barnard College, Columbia University From the moment they were announced, the Beijing Games were a major media event and the focus of intense scrutiny and speculation. In contrast to earlier such events, however, the Beijing Games are also unfolding in a newly volatile global media environment that is no longer monopolized by broadcast media. The dramatic expansion of media outlets and the growth of mobile communications technology have changed the nature of media events, making it significantly more difficult to regulate them or control their meaning. This volatility is reflected in the multiple, well-publicized controversies characterizing the run-up to Beijing 2008. According to many Western commentators, the People's Republic of China seized the Olympics as an opportunity to reinvent itself as the "New China"---a global leader in economics, technology, and environmental issues, with an improving human-rights record. But China's maneuverings have also been hotly contested by diverse global voices, including prominent human-rights advocates, all seeking to displace the official story of the Games. Bringing together a distinguished group of scholars from Chinese studies, human rights, media studies, law, and other fields, Owning the Olympics reveals how multiple entities---including the Chinese Communist Party itself---seek to influence and control the narratives through which the Beijing Games will be understood. digitalculturebooks is an imprint of the University of Michigan Press and the Scholarly Publishing Office of the University of Michigan Library dedicated to publishing innovative and accessible work ...

Sport, Performance and Sustainability (Routledge Research in Sport, Culture and Society) by Daniel Svensson Price verified 7 hours ago

This book examines the logic of 'faster, higher, and stronger' and the technoscientific revolution that has driven tremendous growth in the sports economy and in sport performance over the last 100 years. It asks whether this logic needs revisiting in the light of the climate crisis and sport's environmental responsibilities. Drawing on multi-disciplinary work in sport history, sport pedagogy, sport philosophy, sport science, and environmental history, the book considers not only how sportification may have contributed to the growing environmental impact of sport but also whether it might be used as a tool of positive social change. It reflects on the ways that sport sets performance limits for other ethical reasons, such as doping controls, and asks whether sport could or should set limits for environmental reasons too. Sport, Performance and Sustainability touches on key themes in sport studies, including digitisation, activism, social media, empowerment, youth sport, and physical education. This is fascinating reading for anybody with an interest in sport, the environment, development, sociology, or culture.

Game of Privilege: An African American History of Golf (The John Hope Franklin Series in African American History and Culture) by Lane Demas (The University of North Carolina Press) 4.7 Stars (58 Reviews)    Price verified 12 hours ago

This groundbreaking history of African Americans and golf explores the role of race, class, and public space in golf course development, the stories of individual black golfers during the age of segregation, the legal battle to integrate public golf courses, and the little-known history of the United Golfers Association (UGA)--a black golf tour that operated from 1925 to 1975. Lane Demas charts how African Americans nationwide organized social campaigns, filed lawsuits, and went to jail in order to desegregate courses; he also provides dramatic stories of golfers who boldly confronted wider segregation more broadly in their local communities. As national civil rights organizations debated golf's symbolism and whether or not to pursue the game's integration, black players and caddies took matters into their own hands and helped shape its subculture, while UGA participants forged one of the most durable black sporting organizations in American history as they fought to join the white Professional Golfers' Association (PGA). From George F. Grant's invention of the golf tee in 1899 to the dominance of superstar Tiger Woods in the 1990s, this revelatory and comprehensive work challenges stereotypes and indeed the fundamental story of race and golf in American culture.

Boxing, Masculinity and Identity: The 'I' of the Tiger by Kath Woodward (Routledge) 4.4 Stars (18 Reviews)    Price verified 7 minutes ago

Boxing is infused with ideas about masculinity, power, race and social class, and as such is an ideal lens through which social scientists can examine key modern themes. In addition, its inherent contradictions of extreme violence and beauty and of discipline and excess have long been a source of inspiration for writers and film makers. Essential reading for anyone interested in the sociology of sport and cultural representations of gender, Boxing, Masculinity and Identity brings together ethnographic research with material from film, literature and journalism. Through this combination of theoretical insight and cultural awareness, Woodward explores the social constructs around boxing and our experience and understanding of central issues including: • masculinity • mind, body and the construction of identity • spectacle and performance: tensions between the public and private person • boxing on film: the role of cultural representations in building identities • methodologies: issues of authenticity and 'truth' in social science.

The Set Point: Securing the future of volleyball by Ary Graça (Editora Máquina de Livros) 4.7 Stars (5 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

"This book examines the trail blazed by the FIVB that culminated in the partnership with CVC Capital Partners. The authors explain each step of the way from the moment the FIVB's President acknowledged the lack of financial sustainability to secure the future of volleyball and his courageous decision to develop a new event based on cutting-edge technology, which led to financial innovation. The cutting-edge event is the Volleyball Nations League (VNL). It has three characteristics that fascinate the Volleyball Family. First, the determination of all parties involved in changing the sport, leveraging volleyball to the family entertainment industry. Second, the avenue of opportunities for innovation and sustainability opened by its implementation. Third, and most important for this book, it led the FIVB to CVC. However, sustainability does not take place overnight. The FIVB had to invest persistently in governance and in best management practices to reach the necessary state of preparedness before going to the market. Volleyball needed a shake-up. And that shake-up is happening."

Skate Life: Re-Imagining White Masculinity (Technologies of the Imagination: New Media in Everyday Life) by Emily Chivers Yochim (University of Michigan Press) 4.6 Stars (3 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

"Intellectually deft and lively to read, Skate Life is an important addition to the literature on youth cultures, contemporary masculinity, and the role of media in identity formation." ---Janice A. Radway, Northwestern University, author of Reading the Romance: Women, Patriarchy, and Popular Literature "With her elegant research design and sophisticated array of anthropological and media studies approaches, Emily Chivers Yochim has produced one of the best books about race, gender, and class that I have read in the last ten years. In a moment where celebratory studies of youth, youth subcultures, and their relationship to media abound, this book stands as a brilliantly argued analysis of the limitations of youth subcultures and their ambiguous relationship to mainstream commercial culture." ---Ellen Seiter, University of Southern California "Yochim has made a valuable contribution to media and cultural studies as well as youth and American studies by conducting this research and by coining the phrase 'corresponding cultures,' which conceptualizes the complex and dynamic processes skateboarders employ to negotiate their identities as part of both mainstream and counter-cultures." ---JoEllen Fisherkeller, New York University Skate Life examines how young male skateboarders use skate culture media in the production of their identities. Emily Chivers Yochim offers a comprehensive ethnographic analysis of an Ann Arbor, Michigan, skateboarding community, situating it within a larger historical examination of skateboarding's portrayal in mainstream media and a critique of mainstream, niche, and locally produced media texts (such as, for example, Jackass, Viva La Bam, and Dogtown and Z-Boys). The book uses these elements to argue that adolescent boys can both critique dominant norms of masculinity and maintain the power that white heterosexual masculinity offers.

The Comstocks of Cornell: John Henry Comstock and Anna Botsford Comstock by Anna Botsford Comstock (Comstock Publishing Associates) 4.7 Stars (5 Reviews)    Price verified 17 minutes ago

The Comstocks of Cornell is the autobiography written by naturalist educator Anna Botsford Comstock about her life and her husband's, entomologist John Henry Comstock -- both prominent figures in the scientific community and in Cornell University history. A first edition was published in 1953, but it omitted key Cornellians, historical anecdotes, and personal insights. Karen Penders St. Clair's twenty-first century edition returns Mrs. Comstock's voice to her book by rekeying her entire manuscript as she wrote it, and preserving the memories of the personal and professional lives of the Comstocks that she had originally intended to share. The book includes a complete epilogue of the Comstocks' last years and fills in gaps from the 1953 edition. Described as serious legacy work, the book is an essential part of Cornell University history and an important piece of Cornell University Press history.

Nature Guiding by William Gould Vinal (Comstock Publishing Associates) 3.7 Stars (4 Reviews)    Price verified 13 hours ago

Nature Guiding is the science of inculcating nature enthusiasm, nature principles, and nature facts into the spirit of individuals. "Doing" nature-study means observing, wondering, and solving problems. It could include collecting, building, measuring, painting, planning, writing, touching, experimenting or any of a wide range of other activities. Most importantly, it allows children to be "original investigators." This book is intended as a resource for teachers and students engaged in nature study at summer camps and in schools. William Gould Vinal believed that the teacher of nature study should be "in sympathy with the simple life and the country way," that the nature study should emphasize observation of the interactions of plants and animals in their environment, and not be reduced to matters of taxonomy and anatomy. In Nature Guiding, he offers advice to camp counselors and school teachers on incorporating nature study into everyday activities, as well as suggestions for parents and others about using visits to state and national parks to teach nature lore.
