Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Olympian Leap: The Life and Legacy of Josh Culbreath is a moving tribute to an immensely talented, world-renowned athlete. His name struck apprehension in the hearts of all his opponents. His sly grin and infectious smile let his competitors know he would kick butt. Josh was a gifted athlete in high school, and they proclaimed him the country's second-top high school hurdler in the country. Described as the "Martin Luther King of athletics", he was a fierce opponent who was humble in victory and gracious in defeat. Kudos to Olympic gold medalist Dr. Edwin Moses, who wrote the Foreword for this book. Dr. Edwin Moses stated in his foreword that Josh Culbreath was one of his "true heroes... and mentors" in his hurdling career. Cynthia Culbreath brings him to life in a gripping sports biography of her cousin's history, leaving no detail untold. Segregated events of his era shaped who he became during his lifetime, and their pasts converged in one explosive moment. Let us remember Josh as someone who overcame tremendous obstacles and triumphed in the life of track and field. This book tells how he won the Olympics, overcame challenges, and covers his distinguished career as an American hero. His story can be called the "Olympian Leap" because his jumping ability was second to none, and he broke world records, which led him to gain immense prestige. Only after you finish reading his story will you understand why people are stunned by his achievements. Please read this book and see what it feels like to soar higher than any other human being ever has.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With contributions from some of the most well respected and experienced Chinese writers, journalists, and organizers, China’s Great Leap examines the People’s Republic of China as its government and 1.3 billion people prepare for the 2008 Olympic Games. When Beijing first sought the Games, China was still recovering from the upheavals of Maoist rule and adapting to a market revolution. Today, China wants to engage with the outside world—while fully controlling the engagement. How will the new leaders in Beijing manage the Olympic process and the internal and external pressures for reform it creates? China’s Great Leap will illuminate China’s recent history and outline how domestic and international pressures in the context of the Olympics could achieve human rights change. Learn about key areas for human rights reform and how the Olympics could represent a possible great leap forward for the people of China and for the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Romanticism is an intuitive grasp of the self and the other in an interdependent imperative, non-systematic, transcendent, radically individuated, and endlessly interconnective. The set of norms Romanticism represents and broadcasts, therefore, lends itself particularly well to interdisciplinary and cross-linguistic study, essentially demanding a view coming from and constructed out of more than one discourse field. These norms radically transgress not only the cultural and literary inheritance of thinkers and artists beginning in the late eighteenth century, but do so in a transnational and comparative way unique in Western history. This collection of essays, bringing together established scholars and newer academic voices, offers fresh perspectives on what Romanticism thought itself to be by suggesting spaces in Romanticism studies needing negotiation and elaboration. Presenting a protocol that escapes the circular referentiality of Romanticism studies typically limited to one academic discipline or one language area, this volume works through topics and ideas including Hegelian reflections, lyric poetry, stage drama, music, political implications, and even vampires, outlaws and zombies.
