Nymphs, Stoneflies, Caddisflies, and Other Important Insects: Including The Lesser Mayflies
by Ernest SchwiebertVolume IIAfter the mayfly family, detailed in Nymphs: The Mayflies, the fly fisher must know the caddisfly, stonefly, and midge populations just as well to catch trout that are keyed in on such insects. Nymphs: Caddisflies, Stoneflies, and Other Important Species gives the reader all the essential information about identifying individual species of these insects throughout their North American range, and then delves into detailed instructions for scores of artificial patterns to imitate them. Few books in fishing literature have focused so closely on so many individual species of the particular genera of aquatic insects in this volume. And just as in Nymphs: The Mayflies, this book contains numerous stories and anecdotes from Schwiebert's travels that illuminate the selection and use of nymph patterns, and recount great days spent on the water as interpreted through one of the great minds of modern fly fishing.

The 1973 edition of Nymphs set forth his initial findings. Now in this wholly revised and expanded form, Schwiebert's last work offers the reader exacting details of every major mayfly species for the sake of identification, along with recipes for dozens of fly patterns to imitate them.This new edition also contains numerous stories and anecdotes from Schwiebert's travels, some never set down in writing before, that further add to the understanding of how to choose, cast, and fish nymphs, and life.

O God of Players: The Story of the Immaculata Mighty Macs (Religion and American Culture)
by Julie ByrneBetween 1972 and 1974, the Mighty Macs of Immaculata College—a small Catholic women's school outside Philadelphia—made history by winning the first three women's national college basketball championships ever played. A true Cinderella team, this unlikely fifteenth-seeded squad triumphed against enormous odds and four powerhouse state teams to secure the championship title and capture the imaginations of fans and sportswriters across the country. But while they were making a significant contribution to legitimizing women's sports in America, the Mighty Macs were also challenging the traditional roles and obligations that circumscribed their Catholic schoolgirl lives. In this vivid account of Immaculata basketball, Julie Byrne goes beyond the fame to explore these young women's unusual lives, their rare opportunities and pleasures, their religious culture, and the broader ideas of womanhood they inspired and helped redefine.

O Wrestler - Em Busca de um Sonho
by Pedro Almeida Bill VincentNicolaus Martin sempre gostou de wrestling. Todos lhe chamavam Nicky. Quando era criança, ele e os irmãos costumavam lutar enquanto viam WWF, WCW e NWA. Nicky e a sua família eram muito pobres. Todos os invernos havia pelo menos um mês sem eletricidade em casa. Independentemente de quão pobres fossem, o wrestling parecia fazê-los esquecer disso, mesmo que fosse apenas por uma hora. No meio disto tudo, Nicky e os irmãos tinham uma ótima imaginação. Faziam cinturões de campeão de cartão e folha de alumínio. Eram sobretudo brincadeiras, à exceção de alguns combates que tinham numa pequena cidade do Illinois. Nicky sofreu bulling desde os treze anos. Quanto mais gozavam com ele, mais forte ele ficava. Com dezassete anos, a sua resistência chamou à atenção de uma pequena organização de wrestling. Antes que desse por isso, estava a lutar no Japão por $50 por noite. Isto não era entretenimento, isto era a sério. Partiu o nariz várias vezes e eram mais as vezes em que o seu nome constava na lista dos lesionados, do que as que não. Chegou ao ponto de não admitir que estava em sofrimento. Nicky lutou pelo título de campeão três vezes e perdeu três vezes. Duas dessas derrotas aconteceram após o campeão o ter borrifado com um spray verde nos olhos. Agora, Nicky estava de volta aos Estados Unidos falido e desolado. Ele volta ao ginásio na esperança de ressuscitar aqueles sonhos de horário nobre na televisão nacional e nos pay per view, enquanto wrestler profissional.
O Yoga da Bilhar: Como se tornar um campeão em bilhar e na vida
by Paul Rodney TurnerEste livro de 120 páginas fornece os ingredientes essenciais do que torna um grande jogador de sinuca. Os capítulos são concisos e fáceis de entender e não estão cheios de confusão desnecessária. A ideia por trás do livro era fornecer um roteiro fácil de entender para o sucesso na forma de pequenos ensaios que descrevem os elementos-chave do jogo. Uma omissão flagrante de muitos livros de bilhar é a falta de informações sobre o lado mental do jogo, incluindo visualização, e como incorporar de forma prática técnicas comprovadas de visualização e gerenciamento da mente em nosso jogo. O livro é mais do que um tratado instrutivo sobre os fundamentos do bilhar, mas inclui técnicas e ferramentas de autoaperfeiçoamento. Joe Tucker (jogador profissional e treinador): "Enquanto lia The YOGA of POOL, me peguei balançando a cabeça - não balançando a cabeça, mas concordando. Eu me vi dizendo" sim, sim, sim, sim. "E então me peguei dizendo:" droga, gostaria de ter este livro quando comecei a jogar (25 anos atrás). "Que caminho a seguir! Leia este livro; siga o máximo que puder e tenho certeza de que olhará para trás com menos arrependimento, mais alegria e terá feito muito mais progresso."
