Book Description
Soft cover version. An outline of the achievements of the Campbellville Baseball Club over the sixteen years between 1952 and 1967. When the team started in the fifties, Campbellville Ontario (Canada) was a small, quiet, remote hamlet and the team was composed of the local boys, many of whom had little baseball experience, but for sixteen years they were to dominate one of the top senior leagues in Ontario. This accomplishment is so unique that it is worth recording for posterity. This is actually a scrapbook comprising the newspaper accounts of most of the games played by the team between 1952 and 1967. It tries to adequately explain how this team achieved such great success and how it captivated the loyalty and love not only of the little village but also of the farming community for miles around.

Nine Hills to Nambonkaha
Author: Sarah Erdman
Publisher: Macmillan + ORM
ISBN: 1466850051
Category : Travel
Languages : en
Pages : 374
Book Description
A portrait of a resilient African village, ruled until recently by magic and tradition, now facing modern problems and responding, often triumphantly, to change When Sarah Erdman, a Peace Corps volunteer, arrived in Nambonkaha, she became the first Caucasian to venture there since the French colonialists. But even though she was thousands of miles away from the United States, completely on her own in this tiny village in the West African nation of Côte d'Ivoire, she did not feel like a stranger for long. As her vivid narrative unfolds, Erdman draws us into the changing world of the village that became her home. Here is a place where electricity is expected but never arrives, where sorcerers still conjure magic, where the tok-tok sound of women grinding corn with pestles rings out in the mornings like church bells. Rare rains provoke bathing in the streets and the most coveted fashion trend is fabric with illustrations of Western cell phones. Yet Nambonkaha is also a place where AIDS threatens and poverty is constant, where women suffer the indignities of patriarchal customs, where children work like adults while still managing to dream. Lyrical and topical, Erdman's beautiful debut captures the astonishing spirit of an unforgettable community.

The Village Against the World
Author: Dan Hancox
Publisher:
ISBN: 1781681309
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
One hundred kilometers from Seville, there is a small village, Marinaleda, that for the last thirty years has been at the center of a long struggle to create a communist utopia. In a story reminiscent of the Asterix books, Dan Hancox explores the reality behind the community where no one has a mortgage, sport is played in the Che Guevara stadium and there are monthly "Red Sundays" where everyone works together to clean up the neighbourhood. In particular he tells the story of the village mayor, Sanchez Gordillo, who in 2012 became a household name in Spain after leading raids on local supermarkets to feed the Andalucian unemployed.
