Book excerpt: Humorously illustrated and accompanied by exciting photographs, Inside Hockey! explores the facts, adventures, and one-of-a-kind anecdotes that make hockey one of North America's most popular sports. This highly energetic book gives kids an inside look at the facts about male and female hockey superstars, inventions, rules that changed the game, and some of the dazzling science behind the sport. Perfect for diehard hockey fans and those new to the game, Inside Hockey! has something for everyone. Readers of all ages will discover the stories behind the greatest goal scorers, crazy goalies, practical jokers and hijinks, superstitions, the most ferocious fights, players overcoming obstacles, and the obsession with that Cup called Stanley. In what other sport could you find a player who would rather fight than score, and one who used to sleep in his uniform so he wouldn't miss a second of ice time in the morning? Or a goalie who sewed an elastic mesh net (like a spider web) between his legs to catch the puck, and one who talked to the goalposts like they were his old friends? With insider information about the game and behind the scenes profiles on players and their incredible experiences, Hockey Night will never look the same way again.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strange but True Stories from Japan is a fascinating collection of vignettes, ranging from historical to the personal. Here you will be exposed to the goings-on of Americans serving time in Japanese prisons and the many who claimed the identity of Tokyo Rose. And learn about the bizarre habits of the eels that roam the Chikugo River. In this eclectic and, well, strange, book you'll relive-from a distance-Kamakura's hara-kiri bloodshed and discover the surprising fate of the armless geisha, Tsuma-kichi. Seward also weaves touching memoir pieces between chapters that recount hilarious instances of fractured English and shocking-to-the-average-American Japanese cuisine. Written with an eye and ear for the theatrical and for the rhythm of Japanese life, this delightful but serious romp through modern Japan brings Seward's wide and varied cultural and military background to center stage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you a fan of the game of ice hockey? Do you see the beauty that comes from the intensity that takes place on the ice? Are you in need of an inspirational story or two? As a sport, ice hockey is an intense battle waged by two teams over a sheet of rock-hard ice, but the battles and stories that happen off the ice can be just as intense. Because of that intensity, the people involved in the game often have to overcome obstacles that have nothing to do with the puck or the game itself. When that happens to a player with the world watching, those onlookers are inspired by the grit and tenacity the players demonstrate. Hockey players truly are special people. They have a set of skills unique to their game, and not all of them are physical. Mentally, hockey players have to be sharp and resilient. When those skills are put on display, crowds will marvel and cheer. But when tragedy strikes, those same skills prove to the world that moving forward is possible no matter what happens. Inspirational Hockey Stories for Young Readers contains 12 real-life stories involving hockey players and families from decades' worth of hockey history. You'll find players grappling with a range of situations, from cancer to disabilities and more, and their reactions are sure to inspire you to contend with whatever is causing you pain in your life. Some of the stories in this book include: Gordie Howe's resilient career. An emotional shutout from Craig Anderson. Jim Kyte's trailblazing career. How the first unofficial NHL All-Star Game came to be. This book is sure to motivate and inspire any hockey fan, from the young skater playing with friends up to the adult league champion. This book may also help the reader understand how a hockey player can find a way to move forward, even when their dreams are seemingly stripped away from them. Maybe there's a hockey player in your life who needs a boost in their life. Maybe they're struggling with their health, or there's conflict around them that they are unable to handle on their own. Or, maybe, you just know a hockey player who loves the history of the game and wants to read about 12 amazing players. Either way, this book is bound to bring a smile, or maybe even a few tears of happiness, to anyone who knows what it takes to play the game of hockey. It is sure to inspire hockey players and fill their hearts with pride that they play the toughest sport ever created.

Book excerpt: Nominated in the nonfiction category for the 2004/2005 Red Cedar Book Awards (British Columbia's Young Reader's Choice book award) Brian McFarlane, one of hockey’s best known and most respected historians, has gathered stories from the very first organized game of hockey, to the Olympic gold-medal face-off between Canada and the US at the 2002 Olympics. Whether through a story of courage – such as Mario Lemieux’s comeback from cancer – or through a story of the ridiculous – such as the notorious flying hot dog – Real Stories from the Rink presents tales about men’s and women’s hockey that cover players of every position, as well as coaches. It also includes the kind of statistics and records that are dear to every hockey fan.
