A celebration of 100 years of the NFL from Hall of Fame receiver and bestselling author Jerry Rice! ?This book is an amazing compilation of the game's history as seen through the eyes of my friend Jerry Rice, aka The GOAT. You are going to love this book almost as much as you loved watching Jerry play!? ?Barry Sanders, NFL Hall of Fame Class of 2004 The authors of the New York Times bestseller 50 Years, 50 Moments celebrate the first 100 years of the National Football League, interweaving history, personal stories, memories, and observations of some of its greatest players, coaches, and advocates to chronicle football's amazing evolution from a fledgling regional fly-by-night operation into a multi-billion global brand and one of America's leading franchises. Over the past century, professional football has transformed from a game played in leather helmets on cow pastures to one of the most high-tech, popular sports on the planet. In this entertaining and concise history, Jerry Rice and Randy O. Williams celebrate the NFL's centennial, bringing together colorful memories, insights, and personal experiences and observations from the heroes, losers, innovators, and defining legends who have played the game at its highest level. America's Game is filled with inside stories of the league's fiercest rivalries, closest competitions, and most memorable characters, from the early days of Red ?The Galloping Ghost? Grange and ?Slingin'? Sammy Baugh to Jim Brown and ?Broadway? Joe Namath to Lawrence Taylor, Jerry Rice, and Tom Brady. Cowboy fans will never forget how Roger Staubach's Hail Mary lifted his team to a last-second playoff victory over the Vikings. Patriot followers will always point to The Tuck Rule Game as a franchise landmark where Adam Vinatieri's two clutch kicks in deep snow propelled his team to victory over the Raiders. Generations of Steelers fans will celebrate James Harrison's electrifying 100?yard interception return for a touchdown in Super Bowl XLIII. All are among the most memorable moments in NFL history. Divided by increments of twenty-five years, each section of America's Game includes the authors' selections for their ?All Star? players and teams. America's Game is a unique tribute to this enduring cultural phenomenon, and will become the authoritative tribute to all that is great about the sport Americans?and the world?loves.

'Despite the inordinate limits placed on women, See allows their strengths to dominate their stories' Washington Post 'Poignant . . . quietly affecting' Time 'Emotional and illuminating' BookPage In 15th century China two women are born under the same sign, the Metal Snake. But life will take the friends on very different paths. According to Confucius, 'an educated woman is a worthless woman', but Tan Yunxian - born into an elite family, yet haunted by death, separation and loneliness - is being raised by her grandparents to be of use. She begins her training in medicine with her grandmother and, as she navigates the male world of medicine, requiring tact and diplomacy, she struggles against the confining world of her class. From a young age, Yunxian learns about women's illnesses, many of which relate to childbearing, alongside a young midwife-in-training, Meiling. The two girls find fast friendship and a mutual purpose - despite the prohibition that a doctor should never touch blood while a midwife comes in frequent contact with it - and they vow to be forever friends, sharing in each other's joys and struggles. No mud, no lotus, they tell themselves: from adversity beauty can bloom. How might a woman like Yunxian break free of tradition, go on to treat women and girls from every level of society, and lead a life of such importance that many of her remedies are still used five centuries later? How might the power of friendship support or complicate these efforts? Lady Tan's Circle of Women is a captivating story of women helping other women. It is also a triumphant reimagining of the life of a woman who was remarkable in the Ming dynasty and would be considered remarkable today. Praise for Lisa See 'This novel spans wars and generations, but at its heart is a beautifully rendered story of two women whose individual choices become inextricably tangled' Jodi Picoult 'No one writes about female friendship, the dark and the light of it, with more insight and depth than Lisa See' Sue Monk Kidd 'See's thoughtful and empathetic book sheds necessary attention on this largely ignored event' New York Times 'A powerful and essential story of humanity' Los Angeles Review of Books 'A spellbinding portrait of a time burning with opportunity and mystery' O: The Oprah Magazine 'A lush tale infused with clear-eyed compassion' The Washington Post

Wilkerson tells this interwoven story through the lives of three unforgettable protagonists: Ida Mae Gladney, a sharecropper’s wife, who in 1937 fled Mississippi for Chicago; sharp and quick-tempered George Starling, who in 1945 fled Florida for Harlem, and Robert Foster, a surgeon who left Louisiana in 1953 in hopes of making it in California. Wilkerson brilliantly captures their first treacherous cross-country journeys by car and train and their new lives in colonies in the New World. The Warmth of Other Suns is a bold, remarkable, and riveting work, a superb account of an “unrecognized immigration” within our own land. Through the breadth of its narrative, the beauty of the writing, the depth of its research, and the fullness of the people and lives portrayed herein, this book is a modern classic.

Lewis Carroll l'è on pseudònim: Charles Lutwidge Dodgson l'è el nòmm real de l'autor, che l'era on professor universitari de Matematica a la Christ Church a Òxfòrd. El Dodgson l'ha cominciaa la stòria el 4 de luj del 1862, quand l'aveva faa ona escursion in barca a remm in sul fiumm Tamigi a Òxfòrd, insema al Reverend Robinson Duckworth, con l'Alìs Liddell (de des ann de età) la tosa del Decan de la Christ Church, e cont i sò dò sorell, Lorina (de tredes ann de età), e Edith (de vòtt ann de età). Come l'è anca ciar da la poesia al inizzi del liber, i trè tosann gh'hann domandaa al Dodgson de cuntagh sù ona stòria e lù on poo contrari al princippi, l'ha cominciaa a mett giò quella che la sariss diventada la prima version del esempi. In tutt el raccont, ch'el sarà pubblicaa a la fin ind el 1865, gh'hinn di mezz allusion a qui cinch persònn. Questa edizion la porta a l'attenzion di lettor del dì d'incoeu la prima traduzion del liber I Avventur de Alìs ind el Paes di Meravili in Lombard Occidental, vun di pussee important dialett de la Penisola Italiàna, sviluppaa dal Latin e che l'è parlaa ind ona area che la corrispond pù o manch a la part occidentala de la Lombardia, a di part del Piemont, el Canton Tessin in Svizzera, e di arei a sud del Fiumm Pò. --- Lewis Carroll is a pen-name: Charles Lutwidge Dodgson was the author's real name and he was lecturer in Mathematics in Christ Church, Oxford. Dodgson began the story on 4 July 1862, when he took a journey in a rowing boat on the river Thames in Oxford together with the Reverend Robinson Duckworth, with Alice Liddell (ten years of age) the daughter of the Dean of Christ Church, and with her two sisters, Lorina (thirteen years of age), and Edith (eight years of age). As is clear from the poem at the beginning of the book, the three girls asked Dodgson for a story and reluctantly at first he began to tell the first version of the story to them. There are many half-hidden references made to the five of them throughout the text of the book itself, which was published finally in 1865. This translation brings to the modern reader the first-ever published translation in Western Lombard, one of the main Italic dialects which developed out of Latin and which is spoken in the area covering roughly the region of West Lombardy, parts of Piedmont, the whole of the Swiss Canton Tessin, and areas South of the Po river.

The book has a bright and joyous atmosphere and does not dwell upon killing and deeds of violence. Enough stirring adventure enters into it, however, to flavor it with zest ... It will indeed be strange if there be a normal child who will not enjoy the story." "An original departure in children's literature, in every way novel and unique. ... The text is charming and will prove interesting to both young and old. ..." - The New York Times, 1900. " 'The Wonderful Wizard of Oz' has become America's greatest and best-loved homegrown fairy tale. The first totally American fantasy for children, it is one of the most-read children's books." - Library of Congress. "The Oz books are far ahead of their time both scientifically and politically. They are full of inventions that would not appear on the market for most of the century, among them a robot man, an artificial heart and limbs, a television monitoring system, anti-gravity devices, and a computer-type news service." - Alison Lurie. "I have learned to regard fame as a will-o-the-wisp, which when caught, is not worth the possession; but to please a child is a sweet and lovely thing that warms one's heart and brings its own reward." - L. Frank Baum. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is an enchanting tale of adventure and self-discovery in a magical country. It is America's first and greatest fairy tale and is one of the most-read children's books.

The book has a bright and joyous atmosphere and does not dwell upon killing and deeds of violence. Enough stirring adventure enters into it, however, to flavor it with zest ...It will indeed be strange if there be a normal child who will not enjoy the story." "An original departure in children's literature, in every way novel and unique. ... The text is charming and will prove interesting to both young and old. ..." - The New York Times, 1900. " 'The Wonderful Wizard of Oz' has become America's greatest and best-loved homegrown fairy tale. The first totally American fantasy for children, it is one of the most-read children's books." - Library of Congress. "The Oz books are far ahead of their time both scientifically and politically. They are full of inventions that would not appear on the market for most of the century, among them a robot man, an artificial heart and limbs, a television monitoring system, anti-gravity devices, and a computer-type news service." - Alison Lurie. "I have learned to regard fame as a will-o-the-wisp, which when caught, is not worth the possession; but to please a child is a sweet and lovely thing that warms one's heart and brings its own reward." - L. Frank Baum. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is an enchanting tale of adventure and self-discovery in a magical country. It is America's first and greatest fairy tale and is one of the most-read children's books. Its unforgettable characters and memorable adventures made it an instant classic, so much so that Baum wrote another thirteen books in the series. This is the first volume of a two-volume collection of all fourteen books and it will be a delight to any lover of the wonderful land of Oz.

Before reading this book, you've probably had moments of curiosity about Korean culture. Why does the Korean flag look like it has a Pepsi logo? Why do so many Korean kids share the same last names-Kim, Lee, and Park? If you're a K-Drama fan who watches variety shows too, your fascination with Korea may have grown even deeper. What does Korea actually mean? Who are the people on Korean banknotes? Why do Koreans love kimchi so much-and why with everything? Koreans also have their own way of figuring each other out. Forget small talk; they often ask your age or even blood type. (Yes, blood type! Some still believe it reveals personality-Type A perfectionists, Type O easygoing.) And now it's all about MBTI-from ENFP to ISTJ, it can even hint at workplace or dating compatibility. You might also wonder why you suddenly become a year (or two) older upon arriving in Korea. Why all the drama in street tent bars (pojangmacha)? How do Koreans drink so much soju from those infamous green bottles? And, of course, the 2020s question: Why is K-pop so insanely popular? (Hint: it's not just BTS-NewJeans, Stray Kids, LE SSERAFIM, and a wave of global idols are leading the charge. And yes, what does "Gangnam Style" even mean?) If you've seen Squid Game or Parasite, you know Korean entertainment is not just catchy-it's deep, emotional, and brutally honest. Even animation is joining the trend with shows like K-Pop Demon Hunters, blending Korean pop culture with global storytelling. When you get lost in translation, a dictionary or app can help-but cultural gaps aren't that easy. You might guess right once, but miss the why behind Korea's customs and behaviors. No matter who you are-a K-Pop or K-Drama fan, an expat, a study-abroad student, or a second-generation gyopo-you no longer need to stay puzzled by the quirks that make Korea, well, Korea. This book covers over 350 essential topics and FAQs, organized into 27 categories, exploring Korea through the Five Ws (Who, What, When, Where, Why) and How. By the end, you'll understand Korea-from history and values to food, slang, and modern trends. You'll also finally know why Koreans sit on the floor, why pouring with one hand is rude, and why K-Dramas' hidden cues make so much sense. After reading, dramas, movies, and K-Pop lyrics will feel completely different-and you'll spot the clichés before they happen! Next time you hang out with a Korean friend, you can casually impress them-like explaining why people tap the neck of a soju bottle or why to turn away when drinking with elders. And if someone says you have a "small face," you'll know to proudly reply: "Thank you!" Now, let's start with a perfect first example of Korean culture-the famous "Ppali Ppali" (¿¿¿¿) mindset. Hurry up and start reading!

Meet Tchaikovsky... Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky was just five when he started learning the piano – in his small home-town in Russia. Most families like his had a piano but very few small boys could play it so well. Then he started writing music, too. Ideas for new music poured out of him, especially wonderful tunes. He wrote a lot of music for ballets as well as for big orchestras and small groups of instruments, such as string quartets (two violins, one viola, one cello). Pyotr was a sensitive man: he was upset if audiences at first didn't like his music, even though sometimes it is difficult to like new things. He had one particular fan, a rich lady called Nadezhda von Meck. She sent him money to help him but she made a strict rule: she and Pyotr must never meet. She knew what he looked like from seeing him play at concerts, but he saw only a photograph of her! Pyotr died unexpectedly when he was 53. No one knows exactly why – perhaps he caught an illness. But his music became more and more popular... Naxos Global Distribution Ltd : Naxos Records is the world's leading classical music label as measured by the number of new recordings it releases and the depth and breadth of its catalogue. Naxos was founded in 1987 by Klaus Heymann, a German-born entrepreneur based in Hong Kong. Under his continuing stewardship, Naxos has developed from being known primarily as a budget label focusing on standard repertoire into a global music group comprising a raft of downloading and streaming platforms, a significant catalogue of multimedia products, a vast international logistics network, a recording engineering arm, a publications division, and a licensing department.
