Maison d'édition: Good Press

Synopsis

In "Lefty Locke Pitcher-Manager," Burt L. Standish weaves a compelling narrative that combines the thrill of baseball with the complexities of leadership and personal growth. Set against the backdrop of America'Äôs favorite pastime, the novel employs a straightforward yet engaging style that reflects the era of early 20th-century sports literature. Through the journey of Lefty Locke, the titular character grapples with the pressures of managing a team while also confronting personal dilemmas, showcasing not only athletic prowess but also profound introspection, a common theme in Standish'Äôs works, which echoes the broader cultural fascination with heroes in American sports history. Burt L. Standish, a pseudonymous figure whose real identity is often linked to the prolific writer and editor William D. O'Connor, crafted narratives that resonated deeply with young readers of his time. His own experiences with sports, coupled with a penchant for storytelling, likely influenced his development of relatable protagonists who navigate the trials of ambition and moral integrity, particularly in the competitive realm of baseball. For fans of sports fiction and timeless tales of perseverance, "Lefty Locke Pitcher-Manager" is a splendid recommendation. Standish'Äôs adept characterization and vivid depiction of baseball life not only captivate but also inspire readers to reflect on the virtues of determination and teamwork, making this book a must-read for anyone seeking both entertainment and deeper meaning.

PREFACE

As a soldier, you can be sent to any area of the world. It may be in a temperate, tropical, arctic, or subarctic region. You expect to have all your personal equipment and your unit members with you wherever you go. However, there is no guarantee it will be so.

This manual provides information and describes basic techniques that will enable you to survive and return alive should you find yourself in such a situation.

If you are a trainer, use this information as a base on which to build survival training. You know the areas to which your unit is likely to deploy, the means by which it will travel, and the territory through which it will travel. Read what this manual says about survival in those particular areas and find out all you can about those areas. Read other books on survival. Develop a survival-training program that will enable your unit members to meet any survival situation they may face. It can make the difference between life and death.

Freewheeling - Essays on Cycling

Various Contributors

Cycling? It's one of my life's constants, it feeds my need for beauty, for delight and for aimless exploring . . . I hope to continue pedalling, nice and slowly, for the rest of my life, with the same curiosity that ignited my childhood.

Twelve writers consider the joys and consolations of cycling, whether in a city late at night or along country lanes on a summer's day. Yara Rodrigues Fowler and Xani Byrne write movingly on coming to terms with loss through tandem biking; Jon McGregor takes part in the overnight Dunwich Dynamo. Annie Lord sings the praises of cycling home on Lime bikes from parties, while the late Dervla Murphy regales us with stories of a cycle through Europe.

Freewheeling is a celebration of life on two wheels, and how bikes can become an extension of ourselves, a type of armour, and a route to liberation.
