10th Mountain Division at Camp Hale (Images of America)
by Flint Whitlock Eric MillerIn 1942, at the beginning of World War II, the US Army built its most unusual military post for its most unusual division in a high, remote, Rocky Mountain valley 100 miles west of Denver, Colorado. Located at 9,250 feet above sea level, Camp Hale was the training home of the famed 13,459-man 10th Mountain Division, which trained in mountain warfare techniques for two years--and almost missed the war. After they were finally deployed for combat in early 1945 in the Northern Apennine Mountains of Italy, the young men of the 10th never lost a battle or gave up a foot of ground. And, after the war, many of the veterans returned home to create America's ski and winter sports industry. Building Camp Hale was an incredible feat of wartime engineering and construction. To transform the wild, alpine meadow into an Army camp, 10,000 civilian construction workers were hired to scrape away the vegetation; level the valley floor; install roads and water and sewer lines; build 1,000 structures and two ski areas; and relocate a highway and railroad line--all within seven months and at a cost of $31 million (over a half billion dollars in today's money). Yet Camp Hale was demolished two years after it was built.
Los 11 poderes del líder: El fútbol como escuela de vida
by Jorge ValdanoLas enseñanzas del fútbol para liderar y transformar equipos. «Todo juego de equipo convertido en espectáculo es un gran simulador de la vida que pone a prueba los límites individuales y el espíritu colectivo.»Jorge Valdano Jorge Valdano parte del convencimiento de que el fútbol, al igual que el resto de los deportes, nos ayuda a comprender al ser humano y, muy especialmente, aquellos estímulos que lo activan para alcanzar sus desafíos. Todo juego de equipo convertido en espectáculo es un gran simulador de la vida que pone a prueba los límites individuales y el espíritu colectivo. También nuestros miedos. De una experiencia que nos pone con tanta naturalidad y con tanta frecuencia al borde mismo de la exageración, se vuelve siempre con conocimientos que pueden ser aplicables a la cultura, la comunicación y, como demuestra este libro a través de múltiples ejemplos, también a la empresa.Los 11 poderes del líder parte de las experiencias del ámbito del deporte para ahondar en temas como el liderazgo, el trabajo en equipo, la motivación y todo lo que agita a un equipo de alta competición. A través de once grandes valores, ejemplificados por entrenadores, jugadores y momentos dramáticos del deporte que mueve el mundo, el autor resume los elementos clave del liderazgo en el siglo XXI. Los expertos opinan:«Jorge Valdano, en este libro, no habla propiamente sobre el fútbol, pero sí desde el fútbol. Analiza sus rasgos más genéricos, en cuanto "escuela de vida", con la genericidad capaz de envolver a otros muchos "mundos". Por ello los once poderes del líder que Valdano delimita pueden ser aplicados a las empresas, a las academias militares, incluso a la formación de clérigos. Es decir, puede servir de inspiración a todos aquellos que están comprometidos con el desarrollo de una obra cuya recurrencia no tiene límites en principio, puesto que desborda los del "ego diminuto".»Gustavo Bueno, filósofo «Este libro es un golazo de Valdano: indispensable para los aficionados, relevante para los empresarios y delicioso para cualquier lector.»Santiago Segurola, periodista «Como si de una alineación de fútbol se tratara, Jorge Valdano analiza once claves que definen a un líder. De lectura amena, plagado de anécdotas protagonizadas por algunos de los mejores futbolistas de todos los tiempos, este libro nos demuestra como la sencillez, la pasión por lo que uno hace, la credibilidad o la conciencia de equipo han sido esenciales para que estos deportistas alcancen el éxito. Estas mismas claves, aplicadas en el día a día, contribuyen tanto a fortalecer el liderazgo empresarial como a lograr una mayor autorrealización personal, siempre desde una perspectiva constructiva que busca crear, a largo plazo, una sociedad mejor.»Ángel Cano, consejero delegado del Grupo BBVA
112 Miles to the Pin: Extreme Golf Around the World
by Duncan LennardFor many golfers, the innocent thrill of striking a drive clearly, avoiding a deep sand-trap, or holing out an unlikely putt is all they need to make a round (or a whole year) of golf memorable. But there's a group of modern players in search of something more. They've rediscovered the magic of the game in "extreme" golf, and their adventures are about to inspire golfers everywhere. Here are players like Andre Tolme, who decided to turn Mongolia into a par 11,880 course and Torsten Schilling, who spends his weekends teeing off from the side of his boat aiming for sites back on shore. From New Zealand's naked open to golf in Antarctica, Duncan Lennard describes a world at the very edge of the sport.
