Book Description
#1 New York Times bestselling author Christine Feehan goes beyond the boundaries of paranormal romance as two lovers take to the streets to play the most dangerous game of all. For Mack McKinley and his team of GhostWalker killing machines, urban warfare is an art. But despite a hard-won knowledge of the San Francisco streets, Mack knows from experience that too many things can still go wrong. Danger is just another part of the game—and now he’s come face-to-face with a woman who can play just as tough. Jaimie is a woman with a sapphire stare so potent it can destroy a man. Years ago she and Mack had a history—volatile, erotic, and electric. Then she vanished. Now she’s walked back into Mack’s life as a spy with too many secrets for her own good. Against all odds, she’s hooking up with Mack one more time to take on an enemy that could destroy them both, or bring them back together in one hot, no-holds-barred adrenaline rush.

Street Games
Author: Richard M. Abrams
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1479733474
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 120
Book Description
RICHARD M. ABRAMS, a retired U.C. Berkeley professor of modern U.S. history, recreates the many games, some of them now all-but extinct, played in the city streets daily by boys and girls during the turbulent era of the Great Depression, the Second World War, and the increasingly prosperous post-war environment. Abrams was born in Brooklyn in 1932 when cramped urban living quarters were commonplace, and limited income constricted access to organized sports venues and equipment. His was "an outdoor generation" forced to depend on inventive use of scarce resources. From many conversations over the years with his children, colleagues, friends, and students, he came to realize how few people today have any idea of the kinds of recreation that filled daily life for young city people in the years of his own youth. Street Games is a combination of Abrams's reminiscences of the games he played and his placement of those activities in the social history of the period, often highlighting its contrast with the world we know today. The work is compelling, informative, and fast-paced in its description of a mostly lost piece of history. It is also fascinating for its speculations about such things as the hidden meaning of "It" in games of tag, the small regard for safety (helmets? face masks? seat belts?), and the complex character of racism and ethnic tensions in those times. One reader of the manuscript remarked, “I have not read in many years anything that gave me so much pure, sustained pleasure.” RICHARD M. ABRAMS was educated in the public schools of Brooklyn. He earned his BA, MA, and Ph.D. degrees at Columbia University. He began his teaching career at Columbia in 1957. He moved to the University of California in Berkeley in 1961, where he taught until retiring in 2007. He is married to Marcia Ash Abrams, and they have three children and four grandchildren. He has been a visiting professor of history in London, Moscow, Beijing, and Innsbruck, and has lectured widely in Europe and Asia. His other books include: Conservatism in a Progressive Era; The Burdens of Progress; and most recently, America Transformed.

Baseball as a Road to God
Author: John Sexton
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1101609737
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 267
Book Description
The president of New York University offers a love letter to America’s most beloved sport and a tribute to its underlying spirituality. For more than a decade, John Sexton has taught a wildly popular New York University course about two seemingly very different things: religion and baseball. Yet Sexton argues that one is actually a pathway to the other. Baseball as a Road to God is about touching that something that lies beyond logical understanding. Sexton illuminates the surprisingly large number of mutual concepts shared between baseball and religion: faith, doubt, conversion, miracles, and even sacredness among many others. Structured like a game and filled with riveting accounts of baseball’s most historic moments, Baseball as Road to God will enthrall baseball fans whatever their religious beliefs may be. In thought-provoking, beautifully rendered prose, Sexton elegantly demonstrates that baseball is more than a game, or even a national pastime: It can be a road to enlightenment.
