Book excerpt: Wise, sarcastic, hilarious and memorable words from a favorite sport. Home Plate Don't Move is a celebration of the wit and wisdom of baseball. Some selections are as timely as today's headlines while many others are timeless -- there's something for everyone, from insights to insults to inanities. What is it about baseball that lends itself to clever quotes? W.P. Kinsella, author of Field of Dreams, writes that baseball is "a game of anticipation, a game for the thinking fan, a game where little gems of wisdom or whimsy can be created in the dugout, the bullpen or the press box during long, hot afternoons and evenings of baseball." Some of the more than 400 quotes are: "He looks like a greyhound, but he runs like a bus." - George Brett "I don't want them to forget Ruth. I just want them to remember me." - Hank Aaron "It ain't bragging if you can do it." - Dizzy Dean "I'm throwing just as hard as I ever did. The ball's just not getting there as fast." - Lefty Grove "Any ballplayer that don't sign autographs for little kids ain't an American. He's a Communist." - Rogers Hornsby

Book excerpt: A Turkish farmer finds a large obsidian mirror on top of a mound. How did it get there? What did it mean for its creator, and what does it mean for us? In this teaching novel by writer Rob Swigart, the story toggles back and forth between a Neolithic village—and the changing fortunes of the family who finds this wondrous tool—and modern archaeologists whose excavated treasure stirs journalists, governments, and goddess worshippers alike. Through an engrossing tale across millennia, Swigart’s novel provides both a basic reconstruction of Neolithic lifeways and a primer on contemporary archaeological politics and practice. For archaeology students, and for anyone curious about artifacts past and present, Stone Mirror will be a fun, informative introduction both to archaeology and to the people they study.

I’m life’s third guarantee.” – the Third Guarantee In your hands you hold the answers to hitting major league down/away pitches, off or over the open side power alley wall. You also hold the answers to driving in a runner on second base with two outs. There isn’t a talent shortage in major league baseball. There is a skills shortage; specifically, 6-9 hitters who can drive outside pitches and breaking balls away, off or over the open side power alley wall. Build the muscle memory associated with these two skill sets by: - Re-creating pitcher Release Point with variables controlled - Placing your batting tee on the inside edge or the outside edge of the plate during drills - Placing the batting tee on the outside edge of the plate even with your back knee - Using hands/hip swing mechanics to accelerate the bat head through outside Point of Contact In 2003 while working with the Third Guarantee, a 7-year major league veteran hitting .207 said, “No one has told me this. No one has showed me this. No one has told me to prepare this way. I’ve never seen this kind of instruction.” With 6 hours of instruction over 3 weekends, the 7-year veteran hit .276 the last 3 months of the season. He hit for more power, drove in more runs, and improved his walk to strikeout ratio. Struggling major league hitters don’t need this book if their muscle memory development includes the four above guidelines. About the Author Alan Khoury has offered the Third Guarantee’s answers to players, major league team executives, owners, and agents for 17 years. From day one of his offering efforts, none of these people said the provided information was incorrect. He now offers these answers to any struggling hitter.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Classical Mechanics teaches readers how to solve physics problems; in other words, how to put math and physics together to obtain a numerical or algebraic result and then interpret these results physically. These skills are important and will be needed in more advanced science and engineering courses. However, more important than developing problem-solving skills and physical-interpretation skills, the main purpose of this multi-volume series is to survey the basic concepts of classical mechanics and to provide the reader with a solid understanding of the foundational content knowledge of classical mechanics. Classical Mechanics: Newton's Laws and Uniform Circular Motion focuses on the question: 'Why does an object move?'. To answer that question, we turn to Isaac Newton. The hallmark of any good introductory physics series is its treatment of Newton's laws of motion. These laws are difficult concepts for most readers for a number of reasons: they have a reputation as being difficult concepts; they require the mastery of multiple sub-skills; and problems involving these laws can be cast in a variety of formats.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Practical Ways to Tap into and Use Your Highest Wisdom Each day, we are bombarded with data and opinions, and each day we must make choices that steer us toward our own best approach to life. And, according to Simone Wright, we often forget or don’t understand how to use the best tool available: our intuition, which is our “first intelligence” that can cut through the chatter to inherent wisdom. She explains that intuition is an innate and universal biological and energetic function that can be used like a human GPS system to guide us toward effective action and peak performance. Riveting examples and powerful exercises demonstrate how we can use this “sixth sense” as naturally as any, in all areas of our lives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A set of antique photographic plates is the key to uncovering hidden truths of the Civil War, Great Depression, and 9/11 eras in this “unflinching” novel (Publishers Weekly). A teenage boy and his grandfather travel across America to attend that last great reunion of Civil War veterans at Gettysburg in 1938, where secrets and lies are revealed about the old man’s past. Perhaps he was not the hero his grandson thought, but he still has a valuable treasure to reveal, which will shed intriguing light on the war and his part in it. Interweaving three periods of crisis in American history—the Civil War, the Depression, and 9/11—The Photographer’s Boy explores the power of photography and journalism to inform or mislead; raises questions about love; and offers “an unflinching but sympathetic, often touching, look at the comforting fictions people wrap themselves in to protect themselves from the cold of reality” (Publishers Weekly).
