Book Description
In The Devil Wears Pinstripes, Jim Caple, ESPN.com’s “designated Yankee hater,” takes on the rabid fans of baseball’s twenty-six-time World Champions, and offers a decidedly different slant on the New York Yankees—the losers of thirteen World Series. Caple delivers his send-up of the evil empire with scathing irony, laying waste to all things Yankees. A creative and unauthorized timeline pokes fun at the organization’s trades, its legendary vanity, and its near-lethal stadium food. He skewers the owners, coaches and players—from the target of all targets George Steinbrenner to the pinstriped icons in the House That Ruth Built. Heroes and lesser mortals appear in all their tarnished glory, whether they’re participating in a World Series shutout, in drunken brawls at strip joints, or engaging in the notorious wife-swapping incident of the 1970s. Die-hard Yankee haters and the fans of all other baseball teams are sure to appreciate this hilariously provocative diatribe.

The Devil's Cloth
Author: Michel Pastoureau
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 0743453263
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 148
Book Description
To stripe a surface serves to distinguish it, to point it out, to oppose it or associate it with another surface, and thus to classify it, to keep an eye on it, to verify it, even to censor it. Throughout the ages, the stripe has made its mark in mysterious ways. From prisoners' uniforms to tailored suits, a street sign to a set of sheets, Pablo Picasso to Saint Joseph, stripes have always made a bold statement. But the boundary that separates the good stripe from the bad is often blurred. Why, for instance, were stripes associated with the devil during the Middle Ages? How did stripes come to symbolize freedom and unity after the American and French revolutions? When did the stripe become a standard in men's fashion? "In the stripe," writes author Michel Pastoureau, "there is something that resists enclosure within systems." So before putting on that necktie or waving your country's flag, look to The Devil's Cloth for a colorful history of the stripe in all its variety, controversy, and connotation.

Book Description
"Quick and super-enjoyable! Kind of like a collection of X-files + moral philosophy + AI + dark web + plot twist mash-up super bonanza! One of the stories in particular, Death By Crowd really stood out to me. It dominates that super-creepy-cause-it-could-be-true vibe." ~ Mara "Time Crawlers is a gripping and fun read. Varun Sayal's writing is incredibly imaginative and original. I enjoyed every second of reading this short compilation of out of this world stories. If you are a fan of science fiction you should definitely pick up this book." ~ Lauren "He has some great ideas. It was interesting reading stories that clearly are fundamental to a different culture. I'm going to be watching for more stories from him." ~ Charles "I wasn't sure if I would like this book going in because I usually don't read hardcore science fiction. .. However, this set of short stories was very interesting and kept me reading. I would recommend it to anybody that likes sci-fi or futuristic stories. " ~ Cailin "Time Crawlers is a highly imaginative, gutsy and spellbinding book of 6 stories that take us on a morally challenging ride through high-tech worlds and encounters that shock, terrify and enthrall us." ~ Peter "Well-written and fun collection of short stories that kept my interest. The author gives us something to think about. How much of our current reality is real and how much is illusion?" ~ Cheryle "This book has definitely sparked my love for Sci-Fi book to the next level. Absolutely amazing concept." ~ Katherine "Time Crawlers was my favorite. I know... that's the short story that gave the book it's name. But seriously the concept of that story made me think about life, past, present and future and I just loved that." ~ Jessica "Time and tested subjects of invasion, conquest, AI taking over coupled with Djinns and powerful missile-like weapons from Hindu folklore, make for an engaging and diverse cocktail in this book. Must buy, an engaging read." ~ Ankita "Damn Good! The author takes us through a roller-coaster ride of a breath-taking narrative. Considering how vast the field of science fiction is, he weaves some mean tales." ~ Shatarupa"The stories grabbed my attention instantly and were quite addictive and hard to put down. I finished this book in one sitting and record time. The author no doubt has done his research well and I really admire his highly imaginative skills." ~ Surbhi "The style of writing is a breath of fresh air and the book as whole consists of all those thoughts a person usually ponder over while free. But what sets it apart from such thoughts is the amount of efforts that have been put in thinking over every aspect of those theories." ~ Mohini Stories:1. Nark-astra, The Hell Weapon: The weapons he possesses make him the destroyer of worlds, and he burns for revenge. A high-tech take on ancient Indian mythology. 2. Death by Crowd: The dark desires of the masses; darknet websites fueled by a crypto-currency. What lurks in the background - an advanced artificial intelligence?3. Genie: He rubbed a lamp alright, but what he got was the shock of his life. An entirely sci-fi take on the djinn myth.4. Time Crawlers: There are individuals who exist in multiple time periods at once, and there are those who know about them....5. Eclipse: No attacks, no blood-shed, yet there was an invasion and a conquest. Who are these shapeshifter aliens being hounded by an eclipse?6. The Cave: The fate of an advanced imperial race hangs in balance as a dark celestial entity meets a legendary protector.Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/40540847-time-crawlers
