Book excerpt: Minor League Baseball has been around for more than 100 years. Across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, almost every Major League Baseball player, manager, and coach has spent time in the minors before making it to the big leagues. This is a collection of memorable minor league experiences over the past 60 years. It highlights a time when these individuals lived together, ate together, traveled together, and played ball together. A period when the rules of the game were the same, but the stadium lights were dimmer and the crowds were smaller. These true stories are the actual accounts as told by the individuals, who range from Major League All-Stars to Minor League journeymen. Photos.

Download or read book Bush League, Big City written by Michael Sokolow and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2023-04-01 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bush League, Big City tells the interwoven stories of two low-level minor league baseball teams brought to New York City in the late 1990s. It also illuminates the history of the New York-Penn League, America’s oldest and longest-running minor league, from its inception in 1939 until its abrupt contraction by Major League Baseball in 2020. With an eye for details and firsthand accounts by many of the baseball people involved, Michael Sokolow tells the story of two franchises that went in very different directions, as the Cyclones achieved astronomical success while Staten Island’s ‘Baby Bombers’ sank under the weight of debt and recriminations. Along the way, the book visits small communities in upstate New York, New England, and Canada, introduces the multimillionaires who came to dominate small-time baseball ownership, and tells the tale of two of the most expensive minor-league baseball stadiums ever built. It also sheds light on the complex, behind-the-scenes influence of New York City politics, as the indomitable will of Mayor Rudy Giuliani reshaped the geography of both the city and professional baseball. Bush League, Big City is a compelling examination of both the power and limits of nostalgia in a sport that is increasingly focused on the bottom line.

Download or read book Scattered Memories written by Elizabeth G. Ross and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2021-02-25 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written with much thought and clarity this autobiography conveys the author’s life and secrets revealed with boldness, courage and confidence. Scattered Memories is primarily geared towards women of all ages who live and have lived with challenges that are a part of life beginning from early childhood and thereon. It is a memoir that deftly strikes at the heart and soul with heartrending honesty of how close it can come to happiness without finding it. A difficult path – rough and barren at times. It is also a story of survival amidst the dreary days of an unforeseen future, a future with a past that brought with it the occasional smiles of joy while at the same time identifying “moments of darkness” with tears and fears associated with the isolation in a new country and the hardships that came with an intensity least expected. Treasured remembrances filled with pulsating femininity and logic of a young wife and mother who began a new life in Canada fifty-plus years ago with her husband and baby, whose life since then has also enriched her with many great blessings and unshakable faith and love for God.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The miracle of the preserved word, in whatever medium-print, audio text, video recording, digital exchange-means that it may transfer into new times and new places." - From the Introduction In a significant and unique contribution to our understanding of reading and literacy development, Margaret Mackey draws together memory, textual criticism, social analysis, and reading theory in an extraordinary act of self-study. One Child Reading reflects a remarkable academic undertaking. Seeking a deeper sense of what happens when we read, Mackey revisited the texts she read, viewed, listened to, and played as she became literate in the 1950s and 1960s in St. John's, Newfoundland. This tremendous sweep of reading included school texts, knitting patterns, and games, as well as hundreds of books. The result is not a memoir but rather a deftly theorized exploration of how a reader is constructed. This is an essential book for librarians, classroom teachers, those involved in literacy development, and all serious readers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Key is one of the simplest building blocks of music and is among the foundational properties of a work's musical identity--so why isn't it a standard parameter in discussing film music? Key Constellations: Interpreting Tonality in Film is the first book to investigate film soundtracks--including original scoring, preexisting music, and sound effects--through the lens of large-scale tonality. Exploring compelling analytical examples from numerous popular films, Táhirih Motazedian shows how key and pitch analysis of film music can reveal hidden layers of narrative meaning, giving readers exciting new ways to engage with their favorite films and soundtracks.

Download or read book Children Recovering from Complex Trauma written by Nicole Vliegen and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-11-29 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children Recovering from Complex Trauma: From Wound to Scar draws on the latest knowledge and research on complex trauma in children, as well as the authors’ expertise, in order to outline a trauma-sensitive approach to these children and their parents. The first part of the book describes the emotional and relational dynamics underlying these children’s behaviour. The second part of the book offers a glimpse behind the scenes of the authors' psychotherapy practice, elaborating the processes of change and growth that can enable developmental recovery ‘from wound to scar’ in children who have experienced complex trauma. As such, the book aims to ‘demystify’ what psychotherapy with a traumatised child may look like, as well as offer insights and tools which can support carers in their daily interactions with these children. This book will be of great use to the adoptive parents and foster carers of children who have experienced complex trauma, and the care professionals (e.g., teachers, foster care workers) who work with them.
