Thrive under Pressure! Nobody knows pressure like a major league baseball pitcher-an entire game can rest on a single pitch. For years, Rick Peterson has helped some of baseball's finest excel in this kind of intense situation. In Crunch Time he and leadership expert Judd Hoekstra share Rick's secret. It's called reframing-it enables you to see a pressure situation with a new perspective so that it shifts from a threat that can make you panic to an opportunity for you to shine. Rick and Judd offer six powerful reframing strategies, with fascinating behind-the-scenes examples from Rick's work with some of the top names in sports. Learn how elite athletes perform their best under pressure and how you too can perform and be your best when it matters most.

This work uses what is known about the Neolithic (4000-2400 BC) pottery of Wales to create a history of the meaning and use of that material. It is divided into two parts. In a thought-provoking and original first section, the author deals with some aspects of the history of archaeology, philosophy and science, and attempts to draw these ideas together into a methodology suited to explaining the pottery of Neolithic Wales. The second section employs this methodology to tell the story of the pottery, studying examples from Llugwy in Anglesey to Tinkinswood on the Glamorgan coast. The work concludes with two detailed Appendices, tabling radiocarbon evidence and a summary of pottery traditions.

This book provides the first synthetic overview of Neolithic cave burial and demonstrates its importance in understanding the period. It makes a substantial contribution to debates about collective burial in the Neolithic, adding data which is currently little known and not easily accessible to the discussion. -- .
