The Big Fellow. The Colossus of Clout. Jidge. The Big Bam. The Behemoth of Bust. The Maharajah of Mash. The Mammoth of Maul. The King of Swing. The Great Bambino. Or as you know him best, The Babe. When we talk about the greatest athletes to ever play a sport, names that come to mind include Tom Brady, Michael Jordan, Wayne Gretzky, Roger Federer, Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Muhammad Ali, Jim Brown, and Michael Phelps. These are all guys from our generation or maybe the generation before. They are still fresh in the minds of most people. But atop the list for many is George Herman Ruth, simply known as The Babe, as in Babe Ruth. For a man to have his legend stay intact for so long, over 100 years since he started playing the game of baseball, says volumes about the former Red Sox and Yankees slugger. We talk about legacy in sports and wanting to leave behind the best one possible. There may be no greater legacy in sports than the one Babe Ruth established for others to emulate and remember. When people talk about the home run king, they do not mention recent stars like Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire, or Alex Rodriguez. It is usually Babe Ruth. Before the iconic Yankees Stadium was torn down in 2008, it was known as "The House that Ruth Built." When you walk into Monument Park, the first thing you see is Babe Ruth. Not many people can say that they actually remember Ruth as a living person. After all, he began playing in 1914 and retired in 1935. But the stories of Ruth have been carried on for generations and the respect that others have gathered for him has only gotten stronger with time. He is more than a hero and more than a legend now. He has become a transcendental icon who represents everything we love and esteem about baseball itself. Hope you liked this excerpt!

Malcolm Gladwell, host of the podcast Revisionist History and author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Outliers, offers a powerful examination of our interactions with strangers and why they often go wrong—now with a new afterword by the author. A Best Book of the Year: The Financial Times, Bloomberg, Chicago Tribune, and Detroit Free Press How did Fidel Castro fool the CIA for a generation? Why did Neville Chamberlain think he could trust Adolf Hitler? Why are campus sexual assaults on the rise? Do television sitcoms teach us something about the way we relate to one another that isn’t true? Talking to Strangers is a classically Gladwellian intellectual adventure, a challenging and controversial excursion through history, psychology, and scandals taken straight from the news. He revisits the deceptions of Bernie Madoff, the trial of Amanda Knox, the suicide of Sylvia Plath, the Jerry Sandusky pedophilia scandal at Penn State University, and the death of Sandra Bland—throwing our understanding of these and other stories into doubt. Something is very wrong, Gladwell argues, with the tools and strategies we use to make sense of people we don’t know. And because we don’t know how to talk to strangers, we are inviting conflict and misunderstanding in ways that have a profound effect on our lives and our world. In his first book since his #1 bestseller David and Goliath, Malcolm Gladwell has written a gripping guidebook for troubled times.

A special edition of Jaws by Peter Benchley reissued with a bright retro design to celebrate Pan's 70th anniversary. It was just another day in the life of a small Atlantic resort until the terror from the deep came to prey on unwary holiday makers. The first sign of trouble - a warning of what was to come - took the form of a young woman's body, or what was left of it, washed up on the long, white stretch of beach . . . A summer of terror had begun. Peter Benchley's Jaws first appeared in 1974. It has sold over twenty million copies around the world, creating a legend that refuses to die - it's never safe to go back in the water . . .

Hearst’s journalistic ethics were probably never more clearly exposed than during the national election campaign of 1936. It is true that eighty per cent of the newspapers in the United States spread slanders and calumnies against the President. But the Hearst organs pulled all the stops and thundered vilification with all the resources at their command. The President was portrayed as a lunatic, a wastrel arid a cartoonist’s version of a frothing Communist. Picture and text described him and his advisers as dangerously radical, malicious and altogether feeble-minded. The Hearst press did not hesitate to attribute the source of Roosevelt’s social legislation to Moscow. Nor did consistency deter Hearst from charging plagiarism from Hitler and Mussolini. His newspapers shouted denunciation and abuse. Sound familiar? This work is the only complete exposition of the financial, political and social results of the career of William Randolph Hearst.

The autobiography of Robert La Follette (1855-1925) traces the political life and accomplishments of this eminent Republican politician from his election as district attorney for Dane County, Wisconsin in 1880 to the presidential campaign of 1912, when his bid to dislodge President William Howard Taft was pushed aside by former president Theodore Roosevelt on the Progressive Party's national ticket. The book emphasizes tactics, strategies, and coalition-building as well as La Follette's assessments of various local and national public figures. We learn little about La Follette's childhood, education, legal training or family life, although he does pay tribute to his wife, a lawyer and civic reformer in her own right. La Follette served three terms in Congress (1885-1891); and after a decade of private law practice and grassroots activism, was elected Wisconsin's governor (1900-1904). From 1905 until his death, La Follette was a senator. He crusaded at state and national level against powerful, unregulated business interests--especially the railroads--which he felt exerted undue influence upon government. He also championed open primary elections, equitable taxation of corporations, and public management of public resources by highly qualified, non-partisan public servants. While many of these influential reforms were instituted at the state level during his governorship, his contribution in the Senate may have had less to do with his legislative record than with his ability to rally forces around well-articulated programs.

Here is a preview of what is inside this Patrick Mahomes biography book: Early Childhood High School Career College Football Career NFL Career: The Draft, Rookie Season, MVP Season, "Super" Mahomes Mahomes' Personal Life Legacy and Future Conclusion An excerpt from this Patrick Mahomes biography: In the 2017 NFL Draft, Patrick Mahomes II sat at his table waiting for his name to be called. With the second pick, the Chicago Bears passed on him and took quarterback Mitchell Trubisky out of North Carolina. The Jacksonville Jaguars felt they already had their future with Blake Bortles and took running back Leonard Fournette instead. The Jets were okay with Geno Smith and Josh McCown and instead took safety Jamal Adams. The Bengals decided to hold onto Andy Dalton and drafted wide receiver John Ross. It was like heaven for the Kansas City Chiefs. They had traded with the Buffalo Bills for the 10th overall pick and when their turn came up, Mahomes was still there. So was Deshaun Watson of Clemson, but they felt Mahomes was a no-brainer. They believed Mahomes was a potential Pro Bowler who could win them a Super Bowl in two or three years. And they were spot on. Three years later, Mahomes had made many of those nine teams that passed on him regret it. How do you think the Bears felt? Trubisky is not even their starting quarterback anymore. Or the Jaguars, who have floundered with the quarterback position since 2015. Blake Bortles, their guy in 2017, is now on the Rams. The Jets may have been the team that felt the sickest. Their quarterback play was so bad in 2017 that they drafted Sam Darnold in 2018. They could have picked a top quarterback in 2017 but instead passed on one. The player they did draft in 2017, Jamal Adams, is now on the Seahawks! Then there were the Chiefs, who drafted Mahomes and got to see him win the 2018 NFL Most Valuable Player Award and hold up the Lombardi Trophy in 2020. It did not take long for the Chiefs general manager to be completely on board with Mahomes. After the 2017 NFL Combine in Indianapolis, he saw all that he needed to. "He's one of the best players I ever saw," Brett Veach said. If you enjoyed this excerpt, be sure to pick up a copy of this biography on Patrick Mahomes today!
