El último gol apache: La gira americana del Racing de Madrid
by José Manuel Ruiz BlasLa extraordinaria historia de cómo el Racing Club de Madrid sobrevivió a una estrepitosa gira por América antes de su disolución. Hace un siglo, un modesto equipo irrumpió en el panorama del fútbol español para disputar la hegemonía a los clubs establecidos. Era el Racing de Madrid, que pronto llegó a ser el mejor equipo de la ciudad. La expansión urbana lo obligó a abandonar su popular estadio de Chamberí. Para recuperar su prestigio, atenuado a lo largo de los años 20, se embarcó en dos ambiciosos proyectos: la construcción de un fastuoso campo en Vallecas y una estrafalaria gira por América en 1931 para sufragarlo. Todo ello precipitó su ruina. Su llegada a Perú desató una sublevación militar. En Cuba los sorprendió una violenta rebelión. En México pisaron los calabozos y ficharon a un crack mundial. En los tugurios clandestinos del jazz deEstados Unidos se las vieron con gánsteres. En todas partes provocaron disturbios. En todas partes pelearon a puñetazo limpio. El último gol apache es el relato de esa epopeya: una narración tan delirante como verídica en la que José Manuel Ruiz Blas aúna la mejor crónica y la mejor literatura de deportes.

Further, sharing the authors’ experience gained in their daily medical practice the book discusses borderline indications as well as potential complications, such as infection management – a topic that is rarely addressed. Intended primarily for arthroscopic surgeons interested in the field of elbow repair, this exhaustive guide is also a valuable resource for residents and elbow specialists.
Elbow Ulnar Collateral Ligament Injury: A Guide to Diagnosis and Treatment
by Joshua S. Dines David W. Altchek Christopher L. CampNow in a fully revised and expanded second edition, this practical text presents the current state of the art and latest advancements in the biomechanics, assessment, diagnosis and management of UCL injury in the elbow. In the years since this book’s initial publication, significant developments have occurred on multiple fronts relating to elbow UCL injury, including injury prevention, less invasive repair techniques, more anatomical surgical reconstructions, and improved post-injury rehabilitation protocols. Chapters are once again arranged thematically, beginning with discussion of the relevant anatomy and surgical approaches, throwing biomechanics and overload mechanisms, epidemiology, history and physical exam. After a description of the radiological approaches to assessment, both conservative and surgical strategies are outlined and discussed in detail, from repair both with and without augmentation to reconstruction both arthroscopically and with newer minimally invasive techniques. Considerations for UCL injury in special populations – the young athlete and the female athlete – and sports-specific rehabilitation, return-to-play and prevention via wearable technology round out this thorough presentation. Enhanced with select video clips illustrating surgical techniques, Elbow Ulnar Collateral Ligament Injury, Second Edition remains a go-to resource for orthopedic surgeons, sports medicine specialists, therapists and trainers who work with athletes that suffer from these conditions.

Electric October: Seven World Series Games, Six Lives, Five Minutes of Fame That Lasted Forever
by Kevin CookAn “entertaining, well-researched” account of the first World Series to be televised—and the forgotten stories of six Yankees and Dodgers (Publishers Weekly, starred review).The 1947 World Series was “the most exciting ever” in the words of Joe DiMaggio, with a decade’s worth of drama packed into seven games between the mighty New York Yankees and underdog Brooklyn Dodgers. It was Jackie Robinson’s first Series, a postwar spectacle featuring Frank Sinatra, Ernest Hemingway and President Harry Truman in supporting roles. It was also the first televised World Series—sportswriters called it “Electric October.”But for all the star power on display, the outcome hinged on role players: Bill Bevens, a journeyman who knocked on the door of pitching immortality; Al Gionfriddo and Cookie Lavagetto, bench players at the center of the Series’ iconic moments; Snuffy Stirnweiss, a wartime batting champion who never got any respect; and managers Bucky Harris and Burt Shotton, each an unlikely choice to run his team. Six men found themselves plucked from obscurity to shine on the sport’s greatest stage. But their fame was fleeting; three would never play another big-league game, and all six would be forgotten.Kevin Cook brings the ‘47 Series back to life, introducing us to men whose past offered no hint they were destined for extraordinary things. For some, the Series was a memory to hold on to. For others, it would haunt them to the end of their days. And for us, Cook offers new insights—some heartbreaking, some uplifting—into what fame and glory truly mean.“A wonderful book.” —Ken Burns“Impressively reported, smoothly written.” —Kirkus Reviews“Mr. Cook evokes earlier books by Roger Kahn, Peter Golenbock and David Halberstam in a poignant study that goes beyond baseball and its immortals, like Jackie Robinson and Joe DiMaggio . . . His thoroughly researched narrative probes their personalities [and] relives the gladiatorial 1947 rivalry between the two hometown teams, game by game.” —The New York TimesIncludes photographs

Elementary Gunsmithing: A Manual of Instruction for Amateurs in the Alteration and Repair of Firearms
by Perry D. FrazerA beginner’s guide to the ins and outs of guncraftsmanship from a professional gunsmith.When it was first published in 1938, Elementary Gunsmithing was one of the few books of the time to address an amateur audience, among more advanced titles. With clear, engaging, and instructional prose, Frazer takes beginner firearm interest to the next level by talking the reader through the fundamentals of gunsmithing, such as what tools are necessary for the craft, how to solder and mount parts, and even how to conduct a fledgling gunsmithing business. He specifically addresses the "young man who likes working at the bench,” and similarly the book reflects the spirit of innovation, resourcefulness, and do-it-yourself work.While the book may not cover contemporary firearms, it offers a grandfatherly, old-school instructional vibe with accurate information about guns up to the 1940s. Frazer focuses on gunsmithing with ordinary hand tools at the work bench, rather than complicated machinery. These helpful tips and information, which are still applicable today, make Elementary Gunsmithing a useful, classic, and historically significant reference for both amateurs and budding gunsmithers keen on building a full-time business.Skyhorse Publishing is proud to publish a broad range of books for hunters and firearms enthusiasts. We publish books about shotguns, rifles, handguns, target shooting, gun collecting, self-defense, archery, ammunition, knives, gunsmithing, gun repair, and wilderness survival.
