This is a story about coming of age in America by way of the baseball diamond. Lefthander Henry Wiggen, six feet three, a hundred ninety-five pounds, and the greatest pitcher going, grows to manhood in a righthanded world.

Written in Henry's own words, this exuberant, funny novel follows his eccentric course from bush league to the World Series.Also available in Bison Book editions are "Bang the Drum Slowly," "It Looked Like For Ever," and "A Ticket for a Seamstitch," the other three volumes in the Henry Wiggen series.

Aspetti negativi e critiche del capitalismo neoliberistaUna intervistaA cura di Mark HarrisHo immaginato una intervista ad alcuni noti Scrittori contemporanei autori di libri di economia, filosofia e sociologia. Le risposte ai quesiti sono "ritagliati" dai loro stessi scritti fedelmente riportati con il nome degli Autori, il titolo delle opere, la casa editrice e l'anno di pubblicazione.Il tema investe il capitalismo neoliberista, la religione delle nostre civiltà' avanzate in cui tutto si regge sulla fiducia (nel denaro), sulla fede (nel libero mercato) come nella religione tradizionale con le sue cattedrali (le banche, le borse valori) il clero (banchieri, finanzieri) e i riti propiziatori (il trading)!0 domande alle quali rispondono 45 AutoriIl primo quesito investe le conseguenze del neoliberismo succeduto al trentennio post Seconda Guerra Mondiale. Il secondo e terzo quesito si interrogano sui rapporti con lo Stato sociale, mentre il quarto e quinto prendono in esame la finanziarizzazione dell'economia causa e conseguenza di disuguaglianza dei redditi (sesto e settimo interrogativo). L'ottava domanda riguarda l'incidenza sullìambiente della crescita continua imposta dal capitalismo neoliberista; la nona investe il consumismo, infine il decimo quesito si domanda se la pandemia, e, possiamo aggiungere la guerra ucraina, porranno termine al capitalismo neoliberista.

The New York Times bestseller that follows the making of five films at a pivotal time in Hollywood history In the mid-1960s, westerns, war movies, and blockbuster musicals like Mary Poppins swept the box office. The Hollywood studio system was astonishingly lucrative for the few who dominated the business. That is, until the tastes of American moviegoers radically- and unexpectedly-changed. By the Oscar ceremonies of 1968, a cultural revolution had hit Hollywood with the force of a tsunami, and films like Bonnie and Clyde, The Graduate, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, In the Heat of the Night, and box-office bomb Doctor Doolittle signaled a change in Hollywood-and America. And as an entire industry changed and struggled, careers were suddenly made and ruined, studios grew and crumbled, and the landscape of filmmaking was altered beyond all recognition.

In the morbidly fascinating tradition of Stiff, Grave Matters follows families who found in "green" burial a more natural, more economic, and ultimately more meaningful alternative to the tired and toxic send-off on offer at the local funeral parlor.Eschewing chemical embalming and fancy caskets, elaborate and costly funerals, the families followed in Grave Matters have embraced a range of natural options, new and old, that are redefining a better American way of death. Environmental journalist Mark Harris examines this new green burial underground, leading you into natural cemeteries and domestic graveyards, taking you aboard boats from which ashes and memorial "reef balls" are cast into the sea. He follows a family that conducts a home funeral, one that delivers a loved one to the crematory, and another that hires a carpenter to build a pine coffin. Harris details the embalming process and the environmental aftermath of the standard funeral. He also traces the history of burial in America, from frontier cemeteries to the billion-dollar business it is today, reporting on real families who opted for more simple, natural returns. For readers who want to follow the examples of these families and, literally, give back from the grave, appendices detail everything you need to know, from exact costs and laws to natural burial providers and their contact information.

Poems mostly written in Pandemic time, in the context of wider anxieties, with B/W copies of relief prints and mixed-media art. Living incarnationally in a time of injustice and social discord requires that we keep the destination clear.

Now recovered from his time travel adventure back to medieval Cambridge, David is still living in the city of Cambridge and mostly retired from his investigative journalism.

Eight years ago Mark Harris set out on a mission: to portray Nebraska's contemporary rodeo culture more artistically and comprehensively in photographs than anyone ever has--and then write a book worthy of the photos. At eighty-two events in sixty-two separate locations he photographed the competition, the rural crowds, and all things connected with them. He visited ranches that breed broncs, bulls, and speed horses, and spoke to hundreds of competitors. National Geographic photographer Joel Sartore calls the book "a captivating tribute to rodeo like no other."Harris, a native of McCook, Nebraska, is a regular contributor to NEBRASKAland Magazine and was featured in the Nebraska History Museum's Nebraska Cowboys exhibit.Harris's book isn't about big-time rodeo. In its pages you won't find professional circuit events or national rodeo stars. The people of Rodeo Nebraska work all week on ranches and farms and compete on weekends. For them, rodeo isn't a way to make a living. It's simply part of living.

Rimrose was well-read, smart, and strong. As the editor of the campus Sentinel, he was perfectly placed to observe how a university worked, and ideally inclined to expose its ethical weaknesses.Supported by his parents, he could concentrate on things that mattered: his writing, his wife-to-be, and his friends and enemies.

Written by a boy about a boy: much the same boy, two boys in one, one white boy, one black boy. Each boy sees all around him giants and dragons where most folk see only windmills.
