Skating on Air
Author: Kelli Lawrence
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 0786485442
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 245
Book Description
Of all winter sports, none is so widely watched and commented upon by the media as figure skating, which is often considered the Winter Olympics' centerpiece. This critical text examines the ways in which media attention has gradually altered and affected the sport, from the early appearances of Sonja Henie, to skating's gradual audience growth via television, and to the ramifications of the scandals in the 1994 and 2002 Olympics. The topic is illuminated by more than 30 interviews with commentators, skaters, producers, directors and others. In addition to numerous photos, illustrations show the compulsory figures for which "figure skating" got its name, as well as a sample of the charted-out "camera blocking" for TV directors. Appendices include collected anecdotes from early broadcasting experiences; a profile of broadcaster Jim McKay; and commentary from Carol Heiss on her 1961 musical Snow White and the Three Stooges.

A heartwarming debut from author Caroline Huntoon about a young figure skater discovering who they are on and off the ice. Life isn’t easy on twelve-year-old Mars. As if seventh grade isn’t hard enough, Mars is also grappling with the recent death of their father and a realization they never got to share with him: they’re nonbinary. But with their skates laced up and the ice under their feet, all of those struggles melt away. When Mars’ triple toe loop draws the attention of a high school hot shot, he dares them to skate as a boy so the two can compete head-to-head. Unable to back down from a challenge, Mars accepts.

Skating on Mars is a tender examination of grief and a hopeful middle grade tale of self-discovery. "This timely, triumphant novel about figure skating, identity, loss, and love will move and entertain readers—and it might just inspire them to find their own ways to change the world.

SNIPPETS (bits and Pieces of Love and Life) by CAROLE
Author: Carole Christie Moore Adams
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1418444634
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 418
Book Description
SNIPPETS (bits and pieces of love and life) by CAROLE, written in short chapters for picking up, reading a bit, and setting down, is one you will enjoy so much that you will be reluctant to set it down. The inspirational story of the love and life of Carole and John, her husband, who both view his Parkinson's Disease as just another facet of daily living, is told in vignettes of themselves and of their families, friends, homes, and animals. The witty, poignant sketches will cause you to laugh, cry, empathize, wonder, think, or feel the Snippet refers to you or someone you know. Her writing style scrambles together those of Erma Bombeck, Andy Rooney, and James Joyce. The book describes the couple's real life experience as their numerous "gray hairs," "wrinkles and bruises from stress, heartaches, headaches, accidents, diseases," and their "working, dancing, playing, and laughing" together will attest. Some of Carole's life before meeting John is revealed as she chats about a Perfect Family, Afraid, Running Away, A Single Stitch, Skates, Periwinkle Soup, Psychic, Kidnapping, Long Hair, Hurricanes, Bassoons, Blue Lips, and other topics. People of all ages will find these revelations by Carole Christie Moore Adams fascinating!

A Skating Life
Author: Dorothy Hamill
Publisher: Hachette Books
ISBN: 1401389783
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 265
Book Description
The dazzling smile, the signature haircut, the staple spin. "America's Sweetheart" Dorothy Hamill grew up on the ice, working toward the dream she was to accomplish by age nineteen: winning Olympic gold in figure skating. But life was not the picture of perfection it appeared to be. Dorothy faced a painful inner struggle from the time she was a young girl that followed her into adulthood--though she would not know about the depression that ran in her family until much later in life. Weeks and months away from home to train and compete took a difficult toll, yet little reprieve could be found in the tumultuous and fragile relationship she had with her parents. Dorothy went on to marry the man of her dreams, only to have the partnership end in heartache and a tragedy that almost pushed her to her breaking point. Then, just when a light at the end of the tunnel finally began to appear, a second failed marriage tried and tested Dorothy's trust and strength yet again--a travesty that could have led her to give up. But, she found a remarkable strength in what she did have--her greatest love, her daughter Alexandra. "Thank goodness, I had my skating. There was certainly a pattern to my life. When times were tough, I went skating. It was only while I was out on the ice, enjoying the freedom of movement and my love of music, that I was able to escape from my bottomless heartache." In her deeply moving and honest memoir, Dorothy opens up for the first time about love, family, courage, and what it means to truly win both on and off the ice.
