Shooting a basketball is a beautiful thing. With his flawless stroke, Thomas Conner has perfected the art of the jump shot. But trying to prove he can play like his hero, the great Larry Bird, leads to disaster for Thomas. With the season and his career hanging in the balance, Thomas must identify and conquer his greatest enemy. If successful, Thomas and his George Washington University teammates might become the next NCAA Cinderella story. Interwoven with rich historical detail, The Blue Team is more than just basketball. It's a story of fathers and sons, falling in love, and the redemptive power of Christ. "I got so absorbed that I read it in just two days." Norm Sonju - Co-founder and retired President/GM, Dallas Mavericks "I laughed, I cried, and cheered as the story behind the story unfolded. The book spoke to my heart and most of all it spoke to my soul. When it ended, I wanted more!" Mike Jarvis

The Men in Blue
Author: Larry R. Gerlach
Publisher: U of Nebraska Press
ISBN: 9780803270459
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 316
Book Description
The philosopher Jacques Barzun thought that "whoever wants to know the heart and mind of America had better learn baseball." And whoever wants to know baseball had better learn about umpires. As Larry Gerlach points out in The Men in Blue, these arbiters transform competitive chaos into organized sport. They make it possible to "play ball," but nobody loves them. Considering the abuse meted out by fans and players, why would any sane person want to be an umpire? Many reasons emerge in conversations with a dozen former major league arbiters. While nobody loves them, they love the game. Gerlach has elicited entertaining stories from these figures under fire--about their lonely travels, their dealings with umpire baiters, battles for unionization, breaking through the color line, and much more. From Beans Reardon, who came up to the National League in 1926, to Ed Sudol, who retired in 1977, here is a witty and telling portrait of baseball from the boisterous Golden Age to the Jet Age of Instant Replay.

Book Description
"Kid, you're too young, too punk, and too female to be in a real rock and roll band." When an audition for a guitarist's position in an established group goes sour with one snide sentence, 16-year-old Reina Kawamura is determined to start her own punk rock band. With her older brother's hand-me-down Strat in hand, her experiences witnessing the California punk scene a few years earlier, and her best friends at her side and on stage with her, the group starts off as a semi-serious lark. As time goes on, the experiences Reina goes through as a musician and a person in the ensuing months end up changing her life - on and off stage - for the better.

Turing Computability
Author: Robert I. Soare
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3642319335
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
Turing's famous 1936 paper introduced a formal definition of a computing machine, a Turing machine. This model led to both the development of actual computers and to computability theory, the study of what machines can and cannot compute. This book presents classical computability theory from Turing and Post to current results and methods, and their use in studying the information content of algebraic structures, models, and their relation to Peano arithmetic. The author presents the subject as an art to be practiced, and an art in the aesthetic sense of inherent beauty which all mathematicians recognize in their subject. Part I gives a thorough development of the foundations of computability, from the definition of Turing machines up to finite injury priority arguments. Key topics include relative computability, and computably enumerable sets, those which can be effectively listed but not necessarily effectively decided, such as the theorems of Peano arithmetic. Part II includes the study of computably open and closed sets of reals and basis and nonbasis theorems for effectively closed sets. Part III covers minimal Turing degrees. Part IV is an introduction to games and their use in proving theorems. Finally, Part V offers a short history of computability theory. The author has honed the content over decades according to feedback from students, lecturers, and researchers around the world. Most chapters include exercises, and the material is carefully structured according to importance and difficulty. The book is suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in computer science and mathematics and researchers engaged with computability and mathematical logic.
