GARR DOUG
Between Heaven And Earth: An Adventure In Free Fall
Green Point Press New York: 2008. Softcover. Brand new book. If you've ever dreamed of jumping into skydiving this is the book for you. As the author relates"I remember I screamed 'ONE THOUSAND TWO THOUSAND THREE THOUSAND. . .' my heart jumping out of my chest and then there was a sharp report a thwack as the static line extracted the billowing white canopy. You can't get much more primal than an instant like this. Opening shock it's called. You're relieved because you've just experienced the welcome pleasure of the violent jerk. Then a release like waking from a dream and realizing that all those previous thoughts the story you had written in your mind was completely a fiction. . . . This was a feeling that was better than sex and it was potentially addictive. I was soon to enter this blissful dungeon for a very long stay about to experience how habit-forming skydiving could become. I had to repeat the fix. I just opened my psyche and let it happen.

DEMAUSE NEIL & CAGAN JOANNA
Field Of Schemes: How The Great Stadium Swindle Turns Public Money Into Private Profit
University of Nebraska Press Lincoln and London: 2007. Softcover. Brand new book. Field of Schemes is a play-by-play account of how the drive for new sports stadiums and arenas drains $2 billion a year from public treasuries for the sake of private profit. While the millionaires who own sports franchises have seen the value of their assets soar under this scheme taxpayers urban residents and sports fans have all come out losers forced to pay both higher taxes and higher ticket prices for seats that thanks to the layers of luxury seating that typify new stadiums usually offer a worse view of the action. The stories in Field of Schemes from Baltimore to Cleveland and Minneapolis to Seattle and dozens of places in between tell of the sports-team owners who use their money and their political muscle to get their way and of the stories of spirited local groups�like Detroit's Tiger Stadium Fan Club and Boston's Save Fenway Park!�that have fought to save the games we love and the public dollars our cities need. This revised and expanded edition features the first comprehensive reporting on the recent stadium battles in Washington DC New York City and Boston as well as updates on how cities have fared with the first wave of new stadiums built in recent years. Neil deMause is a Brooklyn-based journalist who writes regularly for the Village Voice Extra! and Baseball Prospectus and runs the stadium-watch Web site fieldofschemes. Joanna Cagan is a teacher and writer in New York City. She has written for numerous publications including the Village Voice the New York Times Magazine and Interview. Includes an Index. "Field of Schemes is a superb work of investigative reporting and righteous indignation. The fan pays twice: once for the stadium and again for the ticket to get into the stadium. If enough fans read it we could break this cycle."�Allen Barra sports columnist for the Wall Street Journal and author of The Last Coach: A Life of Paul "Bear" Bryant "This is as crystal clear as it gets. Field of Schemes shows exactly how your tax dollars end up in the pockets of sports team owners and players in our fake democracy."�Jim Bouton author of Ball Four and Foul Ball "A thoughtful and comprehensive examination of the curious issue of love and money in sport."�Frank Deford Senior Contributing Writer at Sports Illustrated and author of The Entitled "A well-written and poignant analysis of America's stadium mess."�Andrew Zimbalist Robert A. Woods Professor of Economics Smith College and author of In the Best Interests of Baseball The Revolutionary Reign of Bud Selig "If this book had been around for the Greeks to read they would have learned that they should've billed Troy for the horse."�Molly Ivins newspaper columnist political commentator and best-selling author "The authoritative book on stadium boondoggles across the country."�Minneapolis City Pages University of Nebraska Press, Lincoln and London: 2007 paperback

LITTLEFIELD BILL
Only A Game
University of Nebraska Press Lincoln & London: 2007. Softcover. Brand new book. It's only a game Bill Littlefield's National Public Radio program tells us trying to keep sports in perspective. And for all the deadly serious perspectives of sports commentators and fans Littlefield's is perhaps the most realistic. It is certainly the most entertaining. Sometimes funny sometimes poignant Littlefield's take on the games people play is as refreshing as it is enlightening. From baseball Hall of Famer Kirby Puckett's untimely death to pickup soccer games among misfit high-schoolers to the most obscure nicknames and unusual mascots in college sports the book collects memorable commentaries from Littlefield's popular NPR sports show as well as never-before-published essays. No matter the topic Littlefield illuminates the dark corners and unlikely angles of sports with wry good humor and a lightly worn expertise that lets nothing pass. Bill Littlefield has been the host of the syndicated National Public Radio sports show Only a Game since 1993. He teaches a course in the Humanities Division at Curry College in Milton Massachusetts where he also serves as writer-in-residence. Littlefield is the author of several books including Baseball Days and Champions: Stories of Ten Remarkable Athletes. "Littlefield isn't merely a voice of sanity in the overly critical overly hyped world of sports he's also a fine writer whose wry essays explore the pains and pleasures of fandom the perseverance of great athletes in lesser-known sports like women's ice hockey and the intersection of sports and family. Littlefield blends a love of sports with a healthy perspective a yearning to look at sports as one part of a life but not the only part. . . . The author's love of sports is abundant but it's an adult kind of love. In his final essay Littlefield lyrically explains why sports are so beloved: 'It is for the temporary connection to beauty that the game offers: the beauty of the perfect move selected and executed for its own sake; the joy of the marriage of talent and skills developed from hard practice. It's an image that celebrates life.' Only a Game does the same."�Boston Globe "Bill Littlefield is a little oasis for the authors he interviews a place to stop and be refreshed in the greater understanding of another. His literary intelligence and passion shine through all he writes and says."�Michael Lewis author of The Blind Side and Moneyball "Using rhyme and reason in equal measure to extol the joys of river swimming opening day at Fenway or skiing with his daughters Bill Littlefield's delightful collection of columns trains a wry and kindly eye on a world filled with rogues athletes and everyday heroes sometimes all three at once."�Madeleine Blais author of In These Girls Hope Is a Muscle "For me the problem with sports is sports commentary which so often combines jingoism sanctimoniousness and stupidity. Bill Littlefield is a shining exception a person I can read and listen to with pleasure. He talks about games with a sense of proportion and an adult's sense of humor."�Tracy Kidder Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Soul of a New Machine and My Detachment "Voice is a rare quality in writing. It's more than sound or style�it's the presence of the writer on the page the unmistakable signature of selfhood. His writer's voice comes through on every page and makes reading this collection a delightful experience."�Jack Beatty senior editor of the Atlantic Monthly and News Analyst for National Public Radio's program On Point "How wonderful to have that voice we love�all at once wry brash and darn near profound � captured on the page and always at hand. Littlefield has an uncanny talent for seeing the mischief behind the obvious and for being right."�Elinor Lipman author of My Latest Grievance and The Inn at Lake Devine "So a guy comes into the shop and says the driver's side seat in his Volvo is wobbly. We stick one of your books under the seat bill him $400.00 and everybody's happy. You got any more books"�Tom and Ray Magliozzi aka Click and Clack National Public Radio's program Car Talk "A rare reading experience . . . a book that travels on many levels of fine writing . . . the history of a time�not just in sport�and an exploration of human nature."�W. C. Heinz University of Nebraska Press, Lincoln & London: 2007 paperback

BLOCK DAVID; WILES TIM FOREWORD
Baseball Before We Knew It: A Search For The Roots Of The Game
University of Nebraska Press Lincoln and London: 2006. Softcover. Brand new book. It may be America's game but no one seems to know how or when baseball really started. Theories abound myths proliferate but reliable information has been in short supply�until now when Baseball before We Knew It brings fresh new evidence of baseball's origins into play. David Block looks into the early history of the game and of the 150-year-old debate about its beginnings. He tackles one stubborn misconception after another debunking the enduring belief that baseball descended from the English game of rounders and revealing a surprising new explanation for the most notorious myth of all � the Abner Doubleday - Cooperstown story. Block's book takes readers on an exhilarating journey through the centuries in search of clues to the evolution of our modern National Pastime. Among his startling discoveries is a set of long-forgotten baseball rules from the 1700s. Block evaluates the originality and historical significance of the Knickerbocker rules of 1845 revisits European studies on the ancestry of baseball which indicate that the game dates back hundreds if not thousands of years and assembles a detailed history of games and pastimes from the Middle Ages onward that contributed to baseball's development. In its thoroughness and reach and its extensive descriptive bibliography of early baseball sources this book is a unique and invaluable resource�a comprehensive reliable and readable account of baseball before it was America's game. David Block is a long-time collector of early baseball books and memorabilia and is a passionate lifelong fan of the game and its history. "Given North American baseball fans' nearly inexhaustible appetite for the arcana of their favourite sport astonishingly few scholars have ever undertaken the detailed historical and anthropological research to find out where the game actually began. . . . Now through painstaking bibliographic and archival research on display in his extensive appendices Block has established . . . the true forerunner of American baseball. . . . By pushing beyond baseball's reputed origins in an English children's game David Block has discovered the game's true origins in an even older English game."�Warren Goldstein Times Literary Supplement. "The suggestion that America's Game might have originated somewhere besides America so 'inflamed passions and patriotism' writes David Block that the idea still burns us. . . . Block has produced a deliciously researched feast that lays this controversy to rest. . . . Block has assembled such a rich pile of evidence for the game's European origins that one might wonder why there ever was a controversy. . . . Once an American reader gets past the disappointment of discovering baseball's deep European roots Block's book is a perfect delight. He has unearthed magnificent medieval manuscripts . . . That show that baseball is just the latest in a very long line of stick-and-ball games."�Charles Hirshberg Sports Illustrated "As if this country doesn't have enough to worry about it turns out America's national pastime may not even be American. At least according to Baseball before We Knew It a new book by David Block. Block contends the origins of the game date to the mid-14th century and can be traced to northern Europe and parts of Africa. Hold on there pal. What about good old Abner Doubleday 'There's no evidence he even played baseball' Block says. 'It's simply a case of people passing down stories that have never been substantiated.' Now there's something we seem to be very good at." �Morty Ain ESPN: The Magazine ISBN: 0803262558. University of Nebraska Press, Lincoln and London: 2006 paperback

WHALEN THOMAS J
Dynasty's End: Bill Russell And The1968-69 World Champion Boston Celtics
Northeastern University Press Boston: 2004. Softcover. Brand new book. A complete portrait of one of the great success stories in team sports . . . compelling portraits of both the players and the era that brim with colorful detail." �Sports Illustrated The Boston Celtics of the Bill Russell era were one of the greatest dynasties in sports history. During the thirteen years that Hall of Fame center Russell dominated the court the Celtics won eleven world championships including an unprecedented eight straight between 1959 and 1966. In the 1968-69 season the aging and injury-riddled team finished in fourth place during the regular season and sportswriters predicted an early defeat in the playoffs. Against all odds player-coach Russell and his squad rallied to beat the heavily-favored Philadelphia '76ers and New York Knicks and captured the championship crown in a dramatic upset of Wilt Chamberlain Elgin Baylor Jerry West and the Los Angeles Lakers in the closing seconds of the final game of the series. The following summer Russell stunned the sports world by announcing his retirement ending his and the Celtics' celebrated reign. In this vivid and lively account Thomas J. Whalen chronicles Russell's memorable last season and the Celtics' dazzling triumph. Set against the backdrop of the tumultuous 1960s and Boston's own turbulent and bitter struggles with race he tells the fascinating story of how an improbable championship team overcame poor health indifferent fans disruptive personnel changes and internal morale problems. Whalen recounts how Russell transformed the game of basketball during his remarkable career and revisits the outspoken superstar's conflicted relationship with Boston. He also tells why the Celtics the first team to break several NBA color lines failed to attract a loyal following among the city's largely white sports fanatics and press corps. "A thoughtful and thorough account of the last great days of the Celtics team led by Bill Russell."�Bill Littlefield Boston Globe "Whalen scores big in his examination of the pride determination and mutual respect that propelled these nearly middle-age men to one more title." �Booklist "Tom Whalen's book is a sweet and overdue corrective to anyone who thinks basketball began with Michael Jordan who thinks basketball in Boston began with Larry Bird and who doubts that there were giants ever in short pants. Gaze in awe�Bill Russell played here once." �Charles P. Pierce author of Hard to Forget: An Alzheimer's Story and Sports Guy "Thomas J. Whalen has written a grand and comprehensive celebration about the end of a glorious time and about the men who made up such a glorious team."�Frank Deford Thomas J. Whalen is Assistant Professor of Social Science at Boston University. He is the author of Kennedy versus Lodge: The 1952 Massachusetts Senate Race also published by Northeastern University Press and has written for numerous publications including the Boston Globe. He is a resident of Boston's North Shore. Northeastern University Press, Boston: 2004 paperback
