Book Description
The "Immaculate Reception" may have started it all, but the 1979 Pittsburgh Steelers put the stamp on the modern era’s greatest sports dynasty. It’s not even a debate. No other National Football League team in the modern sports era—as defined by Nielson—won so much in so little time. The tag is sure to stay with the Steelers for a long, long time. Fans in Pittsburgh can thank NFL free agency, but only in part. They should really thank the ’79 Steelers for winning a fourth title when, really, the team should not have done so. The 1979 Steelers were not supposed to win a championship. The Steel Curtain was in decline, and the Houston Oilers were pounding on the door of the AFC. By the end of the season, of course, the banged-up Oilers were not to be feared, not with the San Diego Chargers gathering steam. In the NFC, the Dallas Cowboys could taste revenge, particularly after Steelers coach Chuck Noll had mocked them unmercifully following the previous year’s Super Bowl. However, the Steelers persevered. "We probably won it more on desire, football intellect," said Steelers defensive superstar "Mean" Joe Greene. Greene admitted that the defense was in decline. He even admitted his great career was in decline, but he never thought the end of the dynasty was near. Star quarterback Terry Bradshaw, on the other hand, with his career just taking off, knew the end was at hand, and after his greatest season, after his second of back-to-back Super Bowl Most Valuable Player awards, Bradshaw hinted at retirement. "I probably should have," he admits 25 years later. The 1979 season had exhausted Bradshaw, a topic he talks about in Tales from Behind the Steel Curtain. Greene also has plenty to say. So do their teammates and their coaches, not to mention the scouts, front office and support personnel, media, and fans. They all have tales to tell about the key season of one of the greatest dynasties the sports world has ever seen.

Book Description
Football Nomad is a memoir of over a half century of coaching at all levels of American football by one of the most recognized assistant coaches in the field, whose innovations altered the sport to its current form. Howard Cosell, ABC Sports commentator: "[Radakovich] built the tradition of linebackers at Penn State who now seem to inhabit the National Football League...He formed the great defensive line called the "Steel Curtain" of Greene, Greenwood, Holnes and White...and built the offensive line that blew the Oakland Raiders out of the ballpark yesterday." (1976 ABC radio broadcast) Art Rooney Jr., Vice President, Pittsburgh Steelers: "Terrific book! Very insightful about professional and college football-also very humorous. I especially liked the story about doing the mirror dodge drill against The Scarecrow from The Wizard of Oz." Notre Dame offensive line coach Harry Hiestan: "Bad Rad's book is the story of one of the great football coaches of all time, and his incredible coaching life. Rad has a way of making the most important part of football, the fundementals, clear and understandable. A man with strong principles details incredible stories in this book. Some situations he made hard on himself because of his pursuit of what was right.There is only one Bad Rad and the stories in this book will help you understand what that means. Rad has helped many football players be the best they can be, at every level of football; and also many coaches. I am one of the fortunate ones he has taken time to make better." Kirk Ferentz, head football coach, University of Iowa: "terrific book!" DAN RADAKOVICH was the originator of the Pittsburgh Steelers' "steel curtain" defensive line; coached the super bowl IX, X, and XIV offensive lines;and was the father of Penn State's "Linebacker U." LOU PRATO is a veteran print and broadcast journalist who has covered Penn State football periodically since his undergraduate days at Penn State when Dan Radakovich was a player and then an assistant coach. He also is a lifelong Pittsburgh Steelers fan, dating from the late 1940s, and in the 1960s he wrote many stories about the Steelers, including the hiring of Coach Chuck Noll. Prato is the author of four books on Penn State football: The Penn State Football Encyclopedia, What It Means to be A Nittany Lion; Penn State Football Vau

Book Description
THE EMPIRE STATE IS THE OTHER NEW YORK. A parallel-universe, Prohibition-era world of mooks and shamuses that is the twisted magic mirror to our bustling Big Apple, a place where sinister characters lurk around every corner while the great superheroes that once kept the streets safe have fallen into dysfunctional rivalries and feuds. Not that its colourful residents know anything about the real New York… until detective Rad Bradley makes a discovery that will change the lives of all its inhabitants. Playing on the classic Gotham conventions of the Batman comics and HBO’s Boardwalk Empire, debut author Adam Christopher has spun this smart and fast-paced superhero-noir adventure, the sort of souped-up thrill ride that will excite genre fans and general readers alike. File Under: Science Fiction [ Pocket Universe | Heroes or Villains | Speak Easy | Loyalties Divided ] e-book ISBN: 978-0-85766-194-4
