Synopsis Iron Eagle by : Dean Cox

HE STOOD TALL, PLAYED HARD AND FLEW HIGH For fifteen seasons, Dean Cox was the 'Iron Eagle', a seemingly indestructible 203-centimetre ruckman at the heart of a famous - and at times, controversial - West Coast Eagle side. Tough, loyal, relentless and highly skilled, the big man from the Dampier Archipelago rose from humble beginnings to become the lynchpin of the Eagles' famous 2006 premiership, a six-time All-Australian champion and, ultimately, the West Coast Eagles' record-holder for most games played. Iron Eagle is Dean Cox's incredible and inspiring autobiography - a no-holds-barred chronicle of a wild childhood in the Pilbara that evolved into a glorious football career. With unflinching honesty, Cox takes us inside West Coast's glory years - the big games, magic moments and thrilling battles - and lifts the lid on the tumultuous period that followed the Eagles' epic 2006 flag win.

Synopsis Birds of Pray by : Rob Maaddi

High Stakes, Deep Faith, and Unbreakable Brotherhood They were the first No. 1 seed in NFL history to enter the playoffs as an underdog. Their star quarterback was out with a season-ending knee injury. Five-time Super Bowl champions the New England Patriots towered over them. But public opinion didn't matter to the Philadelphia Eagles. They believed in each other. The band of Christian brothers on the team believed in the God of the impossible, and they played for an audience of One. The most extensive book to explore the Christian faith shared by many of the team's players, Birds of Pray details the incredible inside story behind the Eagles' capture of the biggest prize in professional sports: the Vince Lombardi Trophy. Through exclusive interviews with the players, never-before-seen photos, and insider accounts of the miracle season's most memorable moments, Philly native and Associated Press sportswriter Rob Maaddi reveals a side of the team the world has yet to fully witness. From an impromptu baptism in the team's cold tub to weekly Bible studies and pre-game prayers, to the unique friendship between star quarterback Carson Wentz and back-up-then-MVP Nick Foles - the Eagles excel in the unexpected. Birds of Pray follows the deep faith shared among players, the high stakes they faced together, and their relentless reliance on Christ who gives all strength in moments of crisis and celebration alike. The result is a boldly inspiring, entertaining read that will challenge readers to go deeper in their faith, dream bigger, and live with renewed courage for whatever odds life stacks against them.

Synopsis Bringing the Heat by : Mark Bowden

“An ambitious, remarkably frank” chronicle of the Philadelphia Eagles’ bid for the NFL championship by the #1 New York Times–bestselling author (Kirkus Reviews). In 1992, the Philadelphia Eagles—a team assembled in the image of their iconoclastic, controversial former head coach, Buddy Ryan—were known for their ferocious defense led by Reggie White, Seth Joyner, and Andre Waters, and for the otherworldly talents of quarterback Randall Cunningham. Now was the time for the Eagles’ campaign for the championship. But as the season progressed, it disintegrated into an ugly flurry of greed, racism, violence, personal and professional feuds, one tragic death, and a very wild face-off in the stands between a player’s wife and mistress. By midseason, the sentiment of both fans and press was the same: “shut up and play.” Told through the personal stories of the teammates themselves, as well as the coaches, managers and owner, Bringing the Heat spares nothing—and no one—in “a phenomenal feat of reportage, perfect for football fans coast to coast” (H. G. Bissinger, author of Friday Night Lights). “Overflows with stories of pro football dreams, of bravery in the face of injury. Yet it also unflinchingly tells of the darker side of life in the NFL: uncontrollable egos, ruined families, marital infidelity.” —The New York Times Book Review “There are now four mandatory books on football: Dan Jenkins’s Semi-Tough; George Plimpton’s Paper Lion; H. G. Bissinger’s Friday Night Lights, and the hilarious, incorrigible son of them all, Mark Bowden’s Bringing the Heat.” —Michael Bamberger, Sports Illustrated

Synopsis Dietary Reference Intakes for Vitamin A, Vitamin K, Arsenic, Boron, Chromium, Copper, Iodine, Iron, Manganese, Molybdenum, Nickel, Silicon, Vanadium, and Zinc by : Institute of Medicine

This volume is the newest release in the authoritative series issued by the National Academy of Sciences on dietary reference intakes (DRIs). This series provides recommended intakes, such as Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs), for use in planning nutritionally adequate diets for individuals based on age and gender. In addition, a new reference intake, the Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL), has also been established to assist an individual in knowing how much is "too much" of a nutrient. Based on the Institute of Medicine's review of the scientific literature regarding dietary micronutrients, recommendations have been formulated regarding vitamins A and K, iron, iodine, chromium, copper, manganese, molybdenum, zinc, and other potentially beneficial trace elements such as boron to determine the roles, if any, they play in health. The book also: Reviews selected components of food that may influence the bioavailability of these compounds. Develops estimates of dietary intake of these compounds that are compatible with good nutrition throughout the life span and that may decrease risk of chronic disease where data indicate they play a role. Determines Tolerable Upper Intake levels for each nutrient reviewed where adequate scientific data are available in specific population subgroups. Identifies research needed to improve knowledge of the role of these micronutrients in human health. This book will be important to professionals in nutrition research and education.

Synopsis The Crying River by : Yer J. Lo

Yer believed that her life would be peaceful and wonderful forever; that she would always be surrounded by family and friends in a small village. When the Secret War ended, American troops deserted her people and a sudden oppression from the Communists forced Yer and her family to flee into the jungle. There, they faced many hardships and must risk crossing a deadly river for a chance at freedom. Based on actual events, this stunning book stresses the importance of family. Yer's mother is the strength and glue that holds everyone together, showing unending courage and faith despite illness, starvation, exhaustion and fear of enemy detection. "The Crying River is an incredible story. Yer shows what it was like to be a Hmong living in Laos after the Secret War, describing the hardships and sacrifices so candidly that I cried. It's one thing to hear history in terms of the facts and dates, but reliving it through a young girl's eyes makes it come alive like nothing else can. This story is one that deserves to be read, not just to learn about one girl's childhood journey, but also to hear the voices of the Hmong, whose similar stories might never be told." -
