15 XXX Stories: Not Your Girlfriend’s Erotica $9.99 Leave this book on your coffee table and I guarantee your girlfriend will blush!Typically, erotica is aligned with the spirit of romance novels-dramatic and emotional with watered-down descriptions of sex. However, in the tradition of erotica written by men, such as the Marquis de Sade, this book contains more mechanical, visual descriptions of sex with less melodrama.Author Prendergast reveals erotic thoughts and dreams within the most random characters–a single mother, a priest, a French art historian, a goth teenager, an exotic voodoo-practicing duchess, an uptight English barrister, and a sassy black nurse. All of these combine to make for an enjoyable, genuine read with subtle humor and fun, sexy encounters.In the opening story, “Birth of a Slut,” Prendergast begins hard and bold with a group of basketball players pulling a double train on two hot, fit college girls. One is a sweet, loyal “good girl” whose man has recently cheated on her, while the other is an inimitable slut, the amazing, sexually-insatiable Katie who is both disarmingly charming and shamelessly promiscuous. Read only this first story, wanker, and you will be hooked. |

Much of the Anaheim Convention Center has been renovated in recent years with state-of-the-art facilities. The basketball arena, fronting Katella Avenue, was opened in July 1967, while the convention hall behind it opened to business shortly afterward. Since then, the convention hall has undergone three major expansions, and currently encloses over 800,000 square feet (74,000 m ) of floor space. According to frequent news reports, the largest exposition held at the Convention Center in recent years has been the Winter NAMM Show . This music-equipment convention (trade only, not open to the general public) had 1,560 exhibitors and a record-breaking 88,100 attendees during the 2008 show. The NAMM Show has been running at the Anaheim Center since 1977, except for a 3-year break in 1998-2000 while the Convention Center underwent major renovations. Recent news reports indicate that NAMM’s long-term lease with the Anaheim Convention Center authority ends in 2010, and NAMM is applying pressure to the City of Anaheim to further expand and improve the convention center. The popular Anime Expo was held here in 1996 and from 2003 through 2006 and was one of the convention center’s biggest public events of the year. Blizzard |

ALARM 38: Invisible $18 Obscured. Imperceptible. Hidden in plain sight.  The world is rife with extraordinary musicians and artists, tirelessly dedicated to their crafts, who are buried beneath the buzz. We have long since learned that the best and most innovative creators do not cater to the lowest common denominator; instead, they are unflinching in their artistic visions—and, as a result, often found only by audiences that are determined to discover. In ALARM 38, amid scores of such devoted individuals, we meet: A Japanese-American master of the Tsugaru-shamisen, splicing thrash metal with a consummate command of an ancient instrument A surrealist digital-collage artist and former record-label owner, fueled by the marriage of art and music as well as a newfound spiritualit An Australian tango-tinged lounge ensemble whose seamless amalgamations call upon spy music, Italian Western motifs, and Gypsy marches A hard-hitting synth-rock trio that has survived in spite of—and likely due to—an intercontinental divide A group of New Yorkers who hold exhibitions in unsold condos, challenging the notion of what makes a proper art space A string trio beholden to the traditions of Americana and early African-American folk—but unafraid to transform a pop hit that perched atop the Billboard Top 100 A grade-school language-arts teacher who makes hip hop for people who “know their Basquiat as well as their basketball.”  Beyond the echo-chamber blogosphere, these visionaries toil in relative obscurity, content to please themselves and anyone fortunate enough to cross their paths. ALARM is dedicated, more than ever, to presenting as many of these artisans as possible in each robust installment. If you’re constantly in search |

Aesthetic of the Cool: Afro-Atlantic Art and Music $40 In this generously illustrated book, scholar and teacher Robert Farris Thompson gives us the definitive account of cool–not cool the adjective–cool the aesthetic; the cool fundamental to the culture of the Black Atlantic and expressed in ideals of balance and control; the cool of “creative matters, full of motion and brilliance”; the cool of individual and social responsibility. Cool has ancient roots in Nigeria, is still evident in “shared traits” of West African dance, and came to the Americas with slaves who wove it into a rich and dynamic creole civilization. No one is better able to uncover and recount this extraordinary story of change and survival than Thompson, a polymath with a gift for insights into the interconnectedness of cultures. He shows us the cool’s reinvention in terminologies galore; clothing, gesture, and body language; sports, especially basketball; music and dance; religious practices; and art in various guises, yardshows and quilts, paintings and gallery installations. Cool is “the mask of mind itself,” Thompson concludes, the means for attaining the calm and balance of transcendence when facing difficulty, whether playing bebop and/or confronting racist brutality. This book brings together all Thompson’s writings on the cool, some hitherto unpublished, many in out-of-print and hard-to-find publications.Together they form an incomparable record of encounters and recognitions that began when the U.S. was still segregated and unwilling to acknowledge the existence, let alone the powers, of Black Atlantic culture. Thompson has played a leading role in gaining recognition for the Black Atlantic and making African American experiences into a subject of study at schools and universities. Aesthetic of the Cool is one of his monumental achievements. |

Anatomy of Body Worlds: Critical Essays on the Plastinated Cadavers of Gunther von Hagens $45 Since its Tokyo debut in 1995, Gunther von Hagens’ Body Worlds exhibition has been visited by more than 25 million people at museums and science centers across North America, Europe, and Asia. Preserved through von Hagens’ unique process of plastination, the bodies shown in the controversial exhibit are posed to mimic life and art, from a striking re-creation of Rodin’s The Thinker, to a preserved horse and its human rider, a basketball player, and a reclining pregnant woman—complete with fetus in its eighth month. This interdisciplinary volume analyzes Body Worlds from a number of perspectives, describing the legal, ethical, sociological, and religious concerns which seem to accompany the exhibition as it travels the world. |

Asphalt Gods: An Oral History of the Rucker Tournament $19 The real basketball deal–the inside story of Harlem’s legendary tournament and the pros and playground legends who have made it world famous.Earl “The Goat” Manigault. Herman “Helicopter” Knowings. Joe “The Destroyer” Hammond. Richard “Pee Wee” Kirkland. These and dozens of other colorfully nicknamed men are the “Asphalt Gods,” whose astounding exploits in the Rucker Tournament, often against multimillionaire NBA superstars, have made them playground divinity.

On that fabled patch of concrete, unknown players have been lighting it up for decades as they express basketball as a freestyle art among their peers and against such pro immortals as Julius Erving and Wilt Chamberlain. X’s and O’s are exchanged for oohs and aahs in one of the great examples of street theater to be found in urban America.Asphalt Gods is a streetwise, supremely entertaining oral history of a tournament that has influenced everything from NBA playing style to hip-hop culture. Now, legends transmitted by word of mouth find a home and the achievements of basketball’s greatest unknowns a permanent place in the game’s record.From the Hardcover edition. |

Brian Jungen $15 Brian Jungen is perhaps best known for his Prototypes for New Understanding (1998-2005), a series of reproduction Northwest Coast Aboriginal masks made from disassembled athletic shoes. That ingenious mash-up of two seemingly disparate hot commodities–globally branded footwear and revered First Nations artwork–reflects the artist’s own hybrid cultural identity, as both a member of the Doig River band, a tribe in British Columbia’s Dunne-za Nation, and a fixture of Vancouver’s thriving art scene, a position recently cemented by a show at the Tate Modern in London. Other meldings of consumer goods and common materials through which Jungen has explored the exchange of goods, ideas and cultures include a basketball court made of sewing tables and a whale skeleton built from plastic lawn chairs. All represent the postmodern, postcolonial world with aplomb and a sense of humor. Includes an interview with the important Post-Colonial theorist, Homi Bhaba. |

Brother David, the founder of this religious order, provided the school which was staffed by Sisters Harriet Gardiner, Polly Beavin and Nancy Lynd. The name Bethlehem was given to this new school to signify the birth of the first branch house stemming from Nazareth, the Motherhouse of the Negros. Bethlehem continued as an elementary school until 1911 when St. Joseph Preparatory High School for boys was founded. The boys attended “St. Joe Prep”, as the school was |

Films Directed By Gerald Potterton (Study Guide) $8.87 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Heavy Metal is a 1981 Canadian animated film from executive producer Leonard Mogel, who was also the publisher of Heavy Metal magazine. With Ivan Reitman producing and Gerald Potterton directing, the work was expedited by having several animation houses working simultaneously on different segments, including CinéGroupe and Atkinson Film-Arts. The film is an anthology of various science fiction and fantasy stories adapted from Heavy Metal magazine and original stories in the same spirit. Like the magazine, the film has a great deal of graphic violence, nudity, and sexuality. A sequel titled Heavy Metal 2000 was released in 2000. The movie’s title sequence story (based on the original story by Dan O’Bannon and art by Thomas Warkentin) opens with a space shuttle flying in orbit over Earth. The bay doors (on the belly of the shuttle) open, releasing a 1960 Corvette. An astronaut seated in the Corvette then begins descending through Earth’s atmosphere, landing in a desert canyon. Leading directly from the title sequence, the film’s framing story has the astronaut, named Grimaldi, arriving at home where he is greeted by his daughter. He shows her something he brought back: a crystalline green sphere about the size of a basketball. When he opens the case, the orb rises out of it and painfully melts the astronaut. It introduces itself to the terrified girl as “The sum of all evils.” Looking into it, the girl sees how it has influenced societies through time and space. The orb, known as the Loc-Nar, forces her to watch the remaining stories. Original story by Daniel Goldberg |

Five-Star Girls’ Basketball Drills $1.99 Five-Star Basketball Camps have long been synonymous with quality basketball instruction — some of the best players in the world have been Five-Star campers: including Michael, Patrick, Isaiah, Moses, Christian, Alonzo, Grant, Stephon, The Rainman, Elton, Allan, Jayson and Vince! In 1999 eight former Five-Star Campers were selected as NBA first round draft picks: Elton Brand, Steve Francis, Richard Hamilton, Ron Artest, Trajan Langdon, Dion Glover, Corey Maggette and Jumaine Jones! As a longtime leader in basketball instruction, Five-Star feels it must continue in its quest to educate young players about their sport. About 20 years ago, Five-Star published a book based on the drills and teachings of their boys’ camps Five-Star Basketball Drills, that has become an essential part of every coach’s library. In 2000, Five-Star compiled and produced the most comprehensive, state-of-the-art collection of drills by girls’ and women’s coaches ever assembled. Ten thousand copies were sold in the first two years of its publication. In 2003, we are pleased to announce the publication of an updated version of Five-Star Girls’ Basketball Drills with more of what was loved in the first edition: more great drills, more great coaches, more information on how to make the most of your playing time as a player and how to get the most out of your team if you are a coach! |

Jeff Koons $52 An in-depth study of Koons’s entire oeuvre to date. From kinky to kitsch to conceptual, Jeff Koonss art is anything but conformist. Since he stirred up the art world establishment in the 1980s with his unapologetic basketball sculptures and stainless steel toy blow-ups, Koons has been known as somewhat of a bad boy, a reputation he confirmed in the early 90s via works depicting him having sex with then wife Cicciolina, the Italian porn star politician. This exhaustive monograph begins with a biographical essay by Interview magazine editor-in-chief Ingrid Sischy that puts his work into context. Arranged in chronological chapters tracing Koonss career from 1979 to today. Fans of Jeff Koonss work will find in this publication not only a sumptuous book object, but also the most comprehensive study of the artists work ever published. This unlimited popular edition is for readers on a budget or who were unable to get their hands on the original limited Collector’s and Art Edition. |

Maryland Basketball: Tales from Cole Field House $3.22 As the University of Maryland prepares to christen the state of the art Comcast Center, what better time to look back at the Terrapins path from college basketball obscurity to NCAA champions? Maryland Basketball: Tales from Cole Field House is a story 47 years in the making. Native Marylander and former Terp beat writer Paul McMullen recounts the history of the University of Maryland’s men’s basketball program during the Cole years, from 1955-2002. It is a story of tragedy and triumph, and touches on the lives and times of the men who played and coached at one of college basketball’s landmarks.”Paul McMullen’s artful, nostalgic, and sometimes controversial account of Maryland basketball history brings life and clarity to celebrated events and seminal moments of the program, many of which I experienced at first hand. His words are the cord that binds together a story previously known to insiders but largely unknown to those outside the Maryland “family.”—Len Elmore, from the ForewordThe Terps went 485-151 at Cole, and compiled just as many amazing stories. Maryland basketball during the Cole era included some incredibly gifted players, colorful and sometimes controversial characters, and was driven by three coaches. Bud Millikan basically built a program from scratch and moved it from tiny Ritchie Coliseum into cavernous Cole. Lefty Driesell never quite made it into “the UCLA of the East,” but nonetheless guided it to unprecedented heights; Gary Williams returned to his alma mater in 1989, gradually propped up a team crippled by NCAA probation and had the last team standing at the conclusion of 2001-02 season.Maryland Basketball: Tales From Cole Field House revisits Terps stars from Gene Shue, who made them a hot ticket in their final seasons at Ritchie, to Juan Dixon, another product of Baltimore’s Catholic League who overcame a tumultuous upbringing and made the final three seasons at Cole so memorable.

Moonfixer: The Basketball Journey of Earl Lloyd $29.95 In 1950, future Hall of Famer Earl Lloyd became the first African American to play in a National Basketball Association game. A warm and gracious man, widely loved and respected, Lloyd has lived what he describes as an “incredible journey” and has spent eighty years gathering passionate lessons from that experience. He was born in Virginia, a state he describes as “the cradle of segregation,” only sixty-two years after the end of the Civil War. Nicknamed “Moonfixer” in college, Lloyd led West Virginia State to two CIAA Conference and Tournament Championships and was named All-American twice. One of three African Americans to enter the NBA at that time, Lloyd played seven games for the Washington Capitals before the team folded. He joined the Syracuse Nationals for six seasons and later played for the Detroit Pistons before he retired in 1961. Throughout his career, he quietly endured the overwhelming slights and exclusions that went with being black in America. Yet he has also lived to see basketball-a demonstration of art, power, and pride-become the black national pastime and to witness the inauguration of Barack Obama. In a series of extraordinary conversations with Sean Kirst, Lloyd reveals his fierce determination to succeed, his frustration with the plight of many young black men, and his sincere desire for the nation to achieve true equality among its citizens. Sean Kirst is a columnist for the Post-Standard in Syracuse, New York. He was a contributing editor for Empire State Report, a political magazine in New York, and he is the author of The Ashes of Lou Gehrig. Kirst was awarded the 2008 Ernie Pyle Journalism Award for human interest writing, given by the Scripps HowardFoundation to the one newspaper writer nationwide who most exemplifies the works of Pyle, a famed World War II correspondent. |

Chapters: Indoor Arenas in Hungary, Opera Houses in Hungary, FÅ’nix Hall, Budapest Sports Arena, Hungarian State Opera House, Kincsem Park, Veszprém Aréna, Palace of Music, Ifjabb Ocskay Gábor Ice Hall. Excerpt: Fnix Hall is a multi-purpose arena in Debrecen, Hungary. Fonix Hall holds 8,500 people and opened in 2002. It hosted the 2002 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships. The arena was named after the Phoenix, a mythical firebird which is the symbol of Debrecen. Fnix Hall is located in Debrecen, which is the second largest city of Hungary, in a pleasant environment: close to the Nagyerd area, near Road 4, along the thoroughfare to Koice called Kassai út. As you step inside the building through the main entrance, you immediately find yourself in the arena space. Along one of the longitudinal sides of the amphitheater, there are locker rooms and service facilities for the athletes, while the other side is actually a multifunctional area that can be freely divided with the help of relocatable partition walls. In our city, the demand had long been in the air for a state-of-the-art convention hall/arena with a larger than average seating capacity. The final impulse was provided by the possibility of acting as the host for the 2002 World Championship in Gymnastics. In fact, the plans for an already existing sports hall from the city of Tallinn (Estonia) were adapted to suit the local circumstances. The construction of Fnix Hall was completed in eight months. Since its inauguration, the hall has acted as the venue for a variety of events (such as ice hockey, indoor soccer, basketball and handball tournaments, hot air balloon and ballroom dancing championships, ballet performances, music concerts, various exhibitions, conferences and even ice |

Old War: Poems $22 From a winner of the Kingsley Tufts Award, a new collection that explores the vagaries of love and the place of beauty in a time of war.In October 2002, at the age of fifty, Alan Shapiro collapsed while playing basketball. A few months later, on the eve of America’s invasion of Iraq, he remarried. The beginning of this happy chapter of his life coincided with a keen reminder of his own mortality and the menacing nature of the times we live in. The poems in Old War, Shapiro’s ninth and most innovative collection, were written under the double aspect of love and fear, of hope that comes with any fresh start and the sense that history will eventually undo or destroy whatever we struggle to make. Through an impressive variety of forms and styles, from first-person lyrics to dramatic monologues spoken by characters ranging from a country and western singer to a Jewish comic doing standup in heaven, they cast brilliant light on the nature of art, love, and family in a world defined by brutality, deception, and instability. |

On the Warrior’s Path, Second Edition $16.95 The urge to forge one’s character by fighting, in daily life as well as on the mat, appeals to something deep within us. More than a collection of fighting techniques, martial arts constitute a path to developing body, spirit, and awareness. On the Warrior’s Path connects the martial arts with this larger perspective, merging subtle philosophies with no-holds-barred competition, Nietzsche with Bruce Lee, radical Taoism and Buddhism with the Star Wars Trilogy, traditional martial arts with basketball and American Indian culture. At the center of all these phenomena is the warrior. Though this archetype seems to manifest contradictory values, author Daniele Bolelli describes the heart of this tension: how the training of martial technique leads to a renunciation of violence, and how overcoming fear leads to a unique freedom. Aimed at students at any level or tradition of martial arts but also accessible to the armchair warrior, On the Warrior’s Path brings fresh insights to why martial arts remains an enduring and widespread art and discipline. Two new chapters in this second edition focus on spirituality in the martial arts and the author’s personal journey in the field. |

Join Allison as she fights back against the lies, the double-dealing, and the backstabbing to prove that she’s a survivor even a gooey round of pudding wrestling can’t defeat. |

Recouping after such tragedies has been far more daunting than any coaching disappointments, although those too are discussed in this candid book. |

Sports Data Mining $85.23 Data mining is the process of extracting hidden patterns from data, and it’s commonly used in business, bioinformatics, counter-terrorism, and, increasingly, in professional sports. First popularized in Michael Lewis’ best-selling Moneyball: The Art of Winning An Unfair Game, it is has become an intrinsic part of all professional sports the world over, from baseball to cricket to soccer. While an industry has developed based on statistical analysis services for any given sport, or even for betting behavior analysis on these sports, no research-level book has considered the subject in any detail until now.Sports Data Mining brings together in one place the state of the art as it concerns an international array of sports: baseball, football, basketball, soccer, greyhound racing are all covered, and the authors (including Hsinchun Chen, one of the most esteemed and well-known experts in data mining in the world) present the latest research, developments, software available, and applications for each sport. They even examine the hidden patterns in gaming and wagering, along with the most common systems for wager analysis. A full draft TOC is attached.With combined (NFL; MLB; NBA; NHL) team values in the US running at more than $42 billion (NFL alone was at $33.3 billion in 2008!), and European soccer teams at over $10 billion, professional team sports worldwide is a massive business that is about to experience its first real contraction in over ten years. Combine that with the proven effectiveness — and growing use — of statistical analysis to produce winning teams (and thus higher revenues), and then consider the sharp growth in college programs in sports business: an eager market awaits this book in the sports business market alone. It will also appeal to researchers in data mining broadly; the sports statistics service industry that’s developed in the last ten years; and anyone studying any of the pari-mutuel |

Tales from the Missouri Tigers $19.95 College sports fans around the nation know it as the University of Missouri,the home of the Tigers. But for the legions of fans from St. Louis to Columbia, it’s simply Mizzou, and there is simply no better place to be on a crisp fall afternoon than Faurot Field at Memorial Stadium. Don Faurot himself, as a graduate student, helped lay the sod in 1926, and the playing surface was named after the legendary coach in1972. It’s where Norris Stevenson bravely broke the color barrier in the 1950s, where Dan Devine built a national powerhouse in the 1960s and where Al Onofrio pulled some unlikely upsets in the 1970s. Phil Bradley, Kellen Winslow and Eric Wright — household names in college and in the pros — continued to build on that foundation in the early 1980s. Hardworking players such as Corby Jones and Brock Olivo gave the program a new spark in the 1990s. And today, quarterback sensation Brad Smith just may become the best player ever to wear the black and gold. The Tigers had little tradition in basketball until Norm Stewart returned to coach his alma mater in 1967. Big men Al Eberhard and John Brown first put the program on the map in the early 1970s, then Willie Smith electrified crowds at the Hearnes Center with his prolific scoring. Highly regarded recruits Steve Stipanovich and Jon Sundvold were the pillars of a team that won four straight Big Eight championships. Players such as Doug Smith, Anthony Peeler and Derrick Chievous took the Tigers to the top of the national rankings while rewriting the school record books. Coach Quin Snyder has the program right on track as it prepares to move into its state-of-the-art arena. Mizzou fans are passionate about their Tigers. And for generation after generation, Mizzou athletes have shown them how to play the games with determination, passion and heart. |

The Final Four of Everything $0.99 In American Bracketology, Mark Reiter and Richard Sandomir take the elegant art of “bracketology” and use it as an eye- opening and hilarious tool to celebrate everything that’s good, bad, and silly in our American way of life.• It’s great entertainment: Americans have an insatiable appetite for knowing what is good, better, and best in their world. If the issue is historical, they want their knowledge base refined. If the issue is sociopolitical, they want their preferences acknowledged. If the issue is popular culture, they want to be entertained. If it’s a consumer issue, they don’t want to be cheated. For the uninitiated, bracketol- ogy is, literally, “the study of brackets.” It derives from the bracket format used to rank the top sixty-four basketball teams in the annual NCAA tournament known as March Madness. That knockout tournament format, the subject of heated debate among hundreds of thousands of people participating in office pools around the land, gave birth to the term bracketology. This is a book that allows Americans to play this game on a much bigger field. The authors have assigned more than 150 brackets—tackling challenges from the serious to the comic, the vital to the trivial—to the finest experts, writers, and personalities this country has on tap. • It’s authoritative: So imagine: Gail Collins on First Ladies, Walter Isaacson on Ben Franklin Wisdom, David Remnick on Pound-for-Pound-fighters, Calvin Trillin on Sandwiches—you get the picture. Frank Rick on The Underserving Hall of Fame, Kevin Conley on Greatest Movie Stunts, Paul Slansky on the Lucky Sperm Club. |

The Petting Zoo $34.99 A moving, vividly rendered novel from the late author of The Basketball Diaries. When poet, musician, and diarist Jim Carroll died in September 2009, he was putting the finishing touches on a potent work of fiction. The Petting Zoo tells the story of Billy Wolfram, an enigmatic thirty- eight-year-old artist who has become a hot star in the late-1980s New York art scene. As the novel opens, Billy, after viewing a show of Velázquez paintings, is so humbled and awed by their spiritual power that he suffers an emotional breakdown and withdraws to his Chelsea loft. In seclusion, Billy searches for the divine spark in his own work and life. Carroll’s novel moves back and forth in time to present emblematic moments from Billy’s life (his Irish Catholic upbringing, his teenage escapades, his evolution as an artist and meteoric rise to fame) and sharply etched portraits of the characters who mattered most to him, including his childhood friend Denny MacAbee, now a famous rock musician; his mentor, the unforgettable art dealer Max Bernbaum; and one extraordinary black bird. Marked by Carroll’s sharp wit, hallucinatory imagery, and street-smart style, The Petting Zoo is a frank, haunting examination of one artist’s personal and professional struggles. |

The Upside: The 7 Strategies for Turning Big Threats into Growth Breakthroughs $27.5 Today, when your fortunes can literally change overnight, the new strategic imperative is making your moment of maximum risk your moment of maximum opportunity. In The Upside, Adrian Slywotzky provides bold and original ideas for growth breakthroughs as well as the practical tools to use Monday morning, such as•How to change the odds for your next major initiative and create potential industry breakthroughs, as Toyota did with its expanding universe of Prius vehicles. •Shape and exploit risk, don’t be shaped by it. Become a knowledge-intensive business and continuallyincrease the knowledge gap between yourself and rivals, as Coach and Tsutaya of Japan have convincingly done. •A category killer can’t kill what’s not in its category. When basketball legend Bill Russell faced a taller, stronger Wilt Chamberlain, he led the Celtics to victory by inventing a different game. The same thinking lets Target prosper in a Wal-Mart world—and can help you outcompete the “unbeatable” rival in your own industry. •When you come to a fork in the road—take it! Only a fraction of companies survive when industries experience technological or strategic transitions. To be a survivor, learn the secret that enabled Microsoft to weather the advent of the Internet—the art of the double bet. •Stuckinabusinessbox? Findthebiggerbox—and then the biggest.When growth stagnates, capture more of your customer’s dollars through demand innovation and big-box thinking, as companies from Continental AG and Ikea to Procter & Gamble have done. •Your competitors can also be your greatest enablers of profit. Stop competing yourself to death! The key is knowing when to compete and when to collaborate, as Apple has shown with its revolutionary approach to the music business.In the 1980s conventional wisdom was that you could have high quality or low cost, but not both—until |

His unscathed reputation, bipartisan respect, and national prominence make him a seem like a throwback to a truly kinder, gentler period of history — even though he only retired from the Senate in 1997. But the truth is, Bradley’s modus operandi is old school. For everything Bill Bradley ever needed to know about personal values in the public spotlight he learned on the basketball court more than 20 years ago. As a Hall of Fame player for the New York Knicks from 1967-77, he learned the core values that can lead to success with integrity. When he entered the U.S. Senate 1979, he carried those lessons with him. VALUES OF THE GAME presents his reflections on the game that taught him the important lessons of his life. The book is divided into ten essays: Passion — Pure Pleasure, Pure Joy; Discipline — The Virtuous Circle; Selflessness — Help Someone, Help Yourself; Courage — Putting It on the Line; Responsibility — No Excuses, None; Respect — Rules of Order; Resilience — Losing Is Only Temporary; Perspective — The World in Perfect Balance; Leadership — Seeing the Whole Court; and Imagination — The Art of the Game. While these titles might sound like the overextension of a sports metaphor masking a self-help ethos, the book is really an homage to basketball with subtle, larger themes. Cynicsmaythink VALUES OF THE GAME is a thinly veiled campaign platform for Bradley’s presumed year 2000 presidential run. (Others may pick out the odd error, like Bradley’s claim that basketball’s inventor was an American). But as a tribute to the sport that made him and the values he has lived |

Wart $5.99 Stewart has plenty of reasons to dislike his new art teacher, Wanda Gibbs. Not only did she give him the awful nickname “Wart” at school but she has also started dating his dad. She must have placed his dad under some sort of spell, which is entirely possible since, according to her very own son, she also happens to be a witch. But nobody, including Stewart’s father, will believe this outlandish accusation, even though Wanda suggests that if Stewart will support her, she might use her magic to his benefit. Stewart can’t help but notice his athletic ability mysteriously improves every time Wanda shows up at his basketball games. Is it really magic, or is it just Stewart’s imagination? It’s going to take a lot of ingenuity to solve the mystery of Wanda Gibbs. |
