A Game For All Seasons $17.99 The night air was crisp, even at the 72 degrees that enveloped the 2000 fans that sat and watched as the Westland Dragons took on the Dallas Sting for the U-21 Women’s National Soccer Championship at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill Field. Both teams had battled to a 1-1 tie over 90 minutes, and now both were coming to the end of the second 15-minute overtime tied at one goal apiece. A shoot-out was inevitable, and how ironic I thought. This is how it all began for this team; this is what set this team apart from others when they were only 12 years old back in the fall of 1994. The whistle of the center official sounded and I knew what lie in store for our girls. They had been here before; they had all been through so much. Ashleigh, Jessie and Kendall were all on the bench due to injuries, and our back-up keeper, Christa, was asking me why she had to do this. I knew this time was different, this time it was for so much more than a trophy or a title. This time it was for all the games, all the seasons and all the players that had come and gone. This was going to be a game of a lifetime – this was their game for all seasons.The Lady Dragons were born on July 7th, 1994, and I remember it like it was yesterday. It was a warm night, and the heat of the day had parched the already dry field to a golden brown, with spots of green, as 45 young 12 year old girls showed up in mass to a tryout for the “New Premier team” about to be formed. Forty-five young girls all with the same dream: to someday play Women’s Major League Soccer. But now, it was a much smaller dream that lie ahead, they were all very sure that they would be the one, the one out of 45 that would catch the Coach’s eye and be chosen to be part of the 18 player roster.

Alive and Kicking: When Soccer Moms Take the Field and Change Their Lives Forever $12.72 The revolution began with the simple act of a mother kicking a ball to her daughter. An English soccer trainer noticed, and praised her form. “Too bad,” she replied, “there’s no soccer league for mothers.” Who could know that so many lives would change as a result of that simple exchange? In the suburban enclave of Montclair, New Jersey, as in so many communities around America, there was nothing new in the sight of mothers driving their minivans to soccer practice. What was new was that these women were driving to their own practices instead of dropping off their kids and watching from the sidelines. For the generation that grew up before Title IX’s mandate of equal athletic opportunity, the field of play was a male preserve; girls watched and cheered. The lessons that sports are supposed to teach — team spirit, overcoming adversity, playing to win without rancor or anger — were restricted to this young boys’ network; how could women help win the Battle of Waterloo when they’d been kept off the playing fields of Eton? The women of Montclair were mostly of that pre-Title IX generation, and many of them had never played competitive sports in their lives. In Alive and Kicking, Harvey Araton follows these women through their turbulent first two seasons. He turns his keen sportswriter’s eye onto the battles, both on the field and in the psyche, that these women wage as they try to play a sport without compromising their values. He also shows the divisions that wrack the league when a slightly younger generation gets involved in the games, a generation raised without ambivalence about beating an opponent, willing to take a dangerous chance for a winning goal, even if it means running over the woman in their way. But most of all he describes the women who gain in confidence and ambition, like one of the league’s pioneers, who finds the strength to leave a tired marriage, buoyed by her accomplishments on the field — as well as the few who find

Tracing the incredible accomplishments of this kind-hearted and talented star, this biography covers his early years playing for Manchester United’s first team at the age of 17, and the point at which he became a household name a few years later with a breathtaking goal against Wimbledon. Now, over a decade later, he is the fifth most-capped English player of all time and the only one to score in three different World Cups.

Beautiful Game: Sixteen Girls and the Soccer Season That Changed Everything $0.01 Once nobody noticed Santa Rosa’s Thunder. They were a ragtag team of girls who wanted to play soccer, and no one took them seriously. Their male coach expected little from his “ladies, ” and their mediocre performance convinced them he was right.Then a kind of miracle happened. Emiria Salzmann, Thunder’s new coach, a top player herself, knew what it took to win—discipline, relentless drills, thigh-burning sprints, and an inspired passing game. The girls hated it, but their coach never let up. Tough and determined, she showed them what it felt like to be winners—and they loved it. As the momentum grew with a string of victories, the girls thrived on the competition, believing they had the right stuff to become champions.They were right! With spirits soaring, Thunder won its league on the last day of the season and headed for the state cup, emerging not just as powerful athletes but as strong, confident, emotionally healthy human beings—champions in the game of soccer, and in the game of life.

What follows is all-out nuclear holocaust, as the girls make it their mission to retrieve the tape and restore Bleu’s devastated reputation. When even a horrendous beating from Clover on the soccer field doesn’t yield results, Bleu is unsure of what to do.

Worse still, now the boys are fighting for her affection—thanks to Erin getting involved and stirring up their emotions.

BLUE MONDAY is taking the teen sex comedy into the new century while adding a dimension of soap opera and characters with true heart, a combination that has earned the book favorable comparisons to Rumiko Takahashi’s MAISON IKKOKU and John Hughes’ celluloid collaborations with Molly Ringwald.

Escape Fire: Designs for the Future of Health Care $3.14 Dr. Donald Berwick offers health care professionals a ray of hope in this provocative book that contains eleven of his most compelling speeches. Berwick’s brilliant and impassioned speeches–delivered at the Institute for Healthcare Improvement’s annual National Forum on Quality Improvement in Health Care–explore the need to ensure every patient the benefit of care that draws on the best scientific knowledge available. Spanning a decade (1992—2002), these speeches echo the theme that our health care system needs fundamental change and a revolutionary new design. Throughout the book, Berwick identifies innovations and ideas from a number of surprising sources–a girls’ soccer team, a sinking ship, and the safety standards at NASA. Escape Fire takes its title from the 1949 Mann Gulch tragedy in which thirteen young firefighters were trapped in a wildfire on a Montana hillside. The firefighter’s leader, Wag Dodge, devised a creative solution for avoiding the encroaching fire. He burned a patch of grass and lay down in the middle of the scorched earth. His team refused to join him, and most perished in the fire. Dodge survived. Berwick applies the lessons learned from the catastrophe to our ailing health care system–we must not let ingrained processes obstruct life-saving innovation.Not content to simply define the problems with our flawed system, Berwick outlines new designs and suggests practical tools for change: name the problem, build on success, take leaps of faith, look outside of the medical field, set aims, understand systems, make action lists, and–the most fundamental of all–never lose sight of the patient as the central figure.

Girls of Summer: The U.S. Women’s Soccer Team and How It Changed the World $0.01 The world of women’s sports changed forever on July 10, 1999. That was the day the United States soccer team defeated China in a taut penalty-kick shoot-out in the Women’s World Cup, triggering the kind of old-fashioned patriotism that sold out the Rose Bowl and brought President Clinton to his feet along with more than 40 million other Americans watching the match on television.In vivid and graceful prose, award-winning New York Times sportswriter Jere Longman brings us The Girls of Summer, an intimate account of the epic final and an inside look at the cultural phenomenon that is U.S. women’s soccer. With especially revealing profiles of such superstars as Mia Hamm, Michelle Akers, Brandi Chastain, and Briana Scurry, Longman illuminates the larger issues surrounding their success—their newfound status as role models, the media’s sexualization of the team members, plays’ grappling with matters of race, alleged sexual harassment, and equal pay for equal play, as well as the battle to establish an enduring legacy of female participation in the sport.Not since the storied “Miracle on Ice” in 1980, when the U.S. men’s Olympic hockey team upset the mighty Soviet Union in the Winter Olympics, has a group of athletes fired America’s imagination as did these remarkable champions. The Girls of Summer takes its place as a sporting classic, a definitive work on a team for the ages.

Chapters: Glenbard West High School, College of Dupage, Glenbard South High School, College of Dupage Library, Hadley Junior High School, Glen Ellyn, Glen Oak Country Club, Lewis University College. Excerpt: Glenbard West High School – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The first high school that students in the area attended was Glen Ellyn High School, which served students from 1916-22. These classes were held at the DuPage Bank Building. By 1920, it was clear that a new facility was required as classes were spread between the bank building and local church basements. The district purchased a site on Honeysuckle Hill for the price of US$1. The current building opened in 1922 as Glenbard Township High School; the first of the district’s high schools. The school was built in the style of a castle, complete with roof turrets. ‘Glenbard’ as it was originally named, was constructed in 1922, atop Honeysuckle Hill, overlooking Lake Ellyn. Built with dark red brick, the building was built with castle-like design, complete with a turret and other minor castle details. Athletics were initially played in a gymnasium built in the school building itself, but with the construction of a $12 million state of the art field house across the street, the once gym was turned into the Robert D. Elliott Library, named after one of the most influential principals in school history. Across the road from Glenbard West is Bill Duchon Field, where both football and other school sports are played such as both boys and girls soccer and track are played. Originally built in 1923, it was renamed in 1980 in honor of a former head football coach. The stadium seats up to 5,000 spectators, of which the home side overlooks Lake Ellyn. In 2001, Duchon field was named one of the top 10 pl… More:

Excerpt: Nilo Procópio Peçanha (2 October 1867 31 March 1924) was a Brazilian politician. President of Rio de Janeiro State (1903-1906). Elected vice-president in 1906, he assumed the presidency in 1909 following the death of President Afonso Augusto Moreira Pena and served until 1910. He was disputably the only mulatto president of Brazil . Nilo Peçanha was born to Sebastião de Sousa Peçanha, a baker popularly called “Sebastião da Padaria” (Bakery Sebastian) and Joaquina Anália de Sá Freire, the descendent of a rich and noble family from northern Rio de Janeiro State. He was one of seven siblings (five boys and two girls). His family lived in a state of poverty in the remote and poor neighborhood of Morro do Coco, Campos dos Goytacazes, and moved to the downtown area when he started elementary education. He was frequently described as being a mulatto and often ridiculed in charges and jokes in the press for his skin color . During his youth, the local Campos dos Goytacazes social elite alluded to him as the “mestiço of Morro do Coco” (the half-breed from Morro do Coco district) . In 1921, when he ran for the Presidency of Republic, letters falsely attributed to the other candidate Artur Bernardes were published by the press and caused a political crisis because they insulted both the former president Marshal Hermes da Fonseca and also Peçanha, another former president, claiming he was a mulatto. Gilberto Freyre mentioned his “mulatismo” in Brazilian politics as the same that prevailed in Brazilian soccer . According to some scholars, his presidential photographs were touched up to whiten his dark skin . Some scholars assert that, despite his tez escura (dark skin color), Nilo Peçanha always hid his black

Gracie $6.99 The only tie-in book to the summer family movie about a 16-year-old girl who fought for and won the right for girls everywhere to play competitive soccer, inspired by one family’s real story. Set in 1978 in South Orange, New Jersey, Gracie tells the moving story of 16-year-old Gracie Bowen (Carly Schroeder of TV’s Lizzie McGuire), whose middle-class family life revolves almost entirely around soccer. Tragedy unexpectedly strikes when Gracie’s older brother, star of the high school varsity team and her closest confidant, is killed in a drunk-driving accident. Wracked with grief over her family’s loss, Gracie decides to fill the void left on her brother’s team by petitioning the local school board to allow her to play in the boys’ soccer league. At first, no one can understand what Gracie is up to, not her mom (Elisabeth Shue), her former soccer star dad (Dermot Mulroney), the team or school officials. Everyone warns Gracie that pursuing her dream is a waste of time—that soccer is a sport for boys and boys only. Undeterred, Gracie finds reserves of strength she never knew existed, and persists in changing everyone’s beliefs in what she is capable of, including her own. Based on true events in the lives of the Shue family (producer and co-star Andrew Shue, Academy Award®-nominated actress Elisabeth Shue and their family), Gracie is an exciting and emotional sports story that marks the dramatic feature debut of Academy Award®-winning director Davis Guggenheim (An Inconvenient Truth). This young adult novel includes an eight-page color photo section and a Q&A with Andrew Shue and Elisabeth Shue about the real-life story behind the film. 8-page color photo insert.

However Tall the Mountain: A Dream, Eight Girls, and a Journey Home $17.99 Growing up in America, Awista Ayub had few real memories of Afghanistan, which her family had fled in 1979, when she was just two years old. After the fall of the Taliban, however, she felt called back to the homeland she barely knew. When young Ayub arrived, she did what she did best: She applied her talent for organized sports to founding a soccer league.

If Women Ruled the World: How to Create the World We Want to Live in: Stories, Ideas, and Inspiration for Change $0.01 With women making up only 14 percent of Congress and eight women CEOs in the entire group of Fortune 500 companies, women’s collective voices are clearly underrepresented.

This book helps right that imbalance by giving women a platform for voicing their opinions, priorities, hopes, and ideas for change. The book includes short experiences, stories, thoughts, and meditations written and shared by women around the world. Authors, celebrities, experts, and politicians are included, along with soccer moms and teenage girls, creating a work that is humorous, moving, questioning, opinionated, warm, and informative as it examines what women would choose if they had a chance to participate in ruling the world. Note: A portion of this book’s royalties will be donated to the Feminist Majority.

It’s OK to Tell: A Story of Hope and Recovery $9.99 Lauren Book, now 25, was 11 years old when her new nanny, Waldina Flores, joined the family. For the next six years Lauren endured daily sexual and physical abuse. “I was a people pleaser,” she says. “I was beaten every day…Waldy was very smart, like all predators are. She hit me and bruised me where my parents wouldn’t look. When you are 13 and 14 parents never look at their children’s stomachs or lower backs or butts or upper thighs.”Lauren is the oldest of three children; her father, Ron Book, is a prominent Florida attorney and lobbyist. In 2002, after being encouraged by her boyfriend, Lauren confessed to her therapist, who in turn called her parents. Her father fired Flores. She fled to Oklahoma and was arrested one month later while coaching a 10-year-old girls’ soccer team. While in prison, Flores wrote love letters to Lauren asking for money and ultimately was sentenced to another 10 years on top of the initial 15 years. Since then, Lauren and her father have successfully mounted a legislative onslaught against predators; the many laws they are responsible for include the right to get 48-hour access to predators’ HIV test results, a ban on molesters from ever contacting their victims or families, passed legislation to create a statewide network of sexual assault treatment centers, and the controversial act that barred predators from living 2500 feet from public places where children gather such as schools, parks, and playgrounds. Lauren’s memoir is a book about hope in the face of extreme adversity. While it deals with a tremendously sensitive and “dark” subject, the hope that it delivers to readers carries an everlasting positive impact. Her story will empower readers to address abuse issues in their own lives and move them to understand the resulting deep emotional matrix that results from abuse and the incredible power of an individual’s ability to recover and

Let Me Play: The Story of Title IX: The Law That Changed The Future of Girls in America $19.99 Can girls play softball? Can girls be school crossing guards? Can girls play basketball or ice hockey or soccer? Can girls become lawyers or doctors or engineers? Of course they can… today. But just a few decades ago, opportunities for girls were far more limited, not because they weren’t capable of playing or didn’t want to become doctors or lawyers, but because they weren’t allowed to. Then quietly, in 1972, something momentous happened: Congress passed a law called “Title IX,” forever changing the lives of American girls. Hundreds of determined lawmakers, teachers, parents, and athletes carefully plotted to ensure that the law was passed, protected, and enforced. Time and time again, they were pushed back by Þerce opposition. But as a result of their perseverance, millions of American girls can now play sports. Young women make up half of the nation’s medical and law students, and star on the best basketball, soccer, and softball teams in the world. This small law made a huge difference. From the Sibert Honor-winning author of Six Days in October comes this powerful tale of courage and persistence, the stories of the people who believed that girls could do anything — and were willing to fight to prove it.

Revolution in the Bleachers: How Parents Can Take Back Family in a World Gone Crazy Over Youth Sports $5.99 A journalist and mother of two athletic kids exposes the physical and emotional dangers of our over-the-top youth sports culture—and offers practical solutions for positive change. A decade ago, Joan Ryan’s exposé, Little Girls in Pretty Boxes, changed the way we look at elite sports, namely figure skating and gymnastics. Today, there is another crisis in youth sports. It may affect any child, from the kindergartner on the soccer field to the high school athlete competing for scarce scholarship money. Regan McMahon’s Revolution in the Bleachers is a wake-up call for parents who spend their lives shuttling their kids from one field and practice to the next and wonder what happened to family life. • Have late weeknight practices made family meals a thing of the past?• Do you spend hours in the car each week, driving to games across town (or across the state)?• Do you worry that your kids will miss out (on competitive experiences, college scholarships, and other advantages) if they do not specialize in one sport early on?• Do you feel pressured to have your kids join elite club teams with steep fees and demanding travel schedules?• Do your kids get repetitive stress injuries that necessitate trips to orthopedic surgeons or physical therapists?• Do you miss your non-sports-related vacations as a family? If so, the good news is, you are not alone. Other parents and kids (and even some coaches) are on your side. And you have a choice. Regan McMahon’s book began as a cover story for the San Francisco Chronicle Magazine. Titled “How Much is Too Much?” it got a tremendous response. Finally, someone had dared to say what many parents were thinking! Parents, kids and coaches responded, prompting McMahon to criss-cross the country, doing interviews and research to find out how deep the problem goes and how to fix it. In Revolution in the Bleachers, McMahon traces the

Soccer, the Left, & the Farce of Multiculturalism $9.99 Soccer is the world’s most popular sport, which makes it the most multicultural of sports. From this it should follow that the multicultural movement here in America would strongly support soccer. But instead of embracing the sport of the “Other,” the movement has ignored sports, and while younger multiculturalists may be soccer fans, the older ones have generally clung to America’s own sports. Soccer in America has ended up being a sport for those in the middle or even on the right rather than for those on the left. The people who show up at soccer games include fraternity jocks, sorority girls and members of the military, none of whom are thought of as multiculturalist or open-minded by those on the left.This book is about sports in America and the rest of the world. The many topics it explores include soccer’s place in the world, a comparison of the sports environments in America and England, a critical examination of America’s sports, the history of prejudice against soccer in America, and the failure of many of America’s leftists to overcome that prejudice.

Soccerhead: An Accidental Journey into the Heart of the American Game $9.99 A YOUTH SOCCER COACH’S INVESTIGATION INTO THE ORIGINS OF SOCCERMANIABefore his son enlisted for a season of Youth Soccer at the neighborhood Boys and Girls Club in College Park, Maryland, Jim Haner was just your typical white, middle-class, suburban father. And as an award-winning journalist for The Sun (Baltimore), he was more likely to write about scoundrels than soccer. But his son caught the bug, and before long, Haner was giving pep talks to nine-year-olds in shin guards and cleats and the game had become an all-consuming obsession.Digging deep into the historical record, Haner sets out to document the soccer craze from the bottom up, tracing the rises and falls in the game’s popularity in the decades since “Mob Ball” fever was spread by the influx of immigrants on our shores, up to the current wave of “soccermania.” The result is a rollicking and timely read.”[Haner's] enthusiasm and good humor is infectious, the history is genuinely interesting, and anyone who doubts that soccer games between nine-year-olds can be chronicled with the same verve and intensity of professional or collegiate sports need look no further . . . Belongs with Franklin Foer’s How Soccer Explains the World (2004) as a must-read for people puzzled by soccer’s popularity.” —Booklist (starred review)

Superstar (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) $42 Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! “Superstar” is the 17th episode of season four of the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer.Jonathan casts a spell to cause all of Sunnydale to believe that he is the titular “Superstar”: He created the Internet, writes best-sellers, leads the USA Women’s Soccer team to victory in the World Cup Finals, stars in The Matrix – and even fights vampires better than Buffy. He is constantly signing autographs for his bewitched fans, women in particular, and at night in his luxury house, he has two beautiful blond Nordic girls to keep him warm in his bed – twins no less. True to the show’s theme that there are always consequences, Jonathan’s spell comes with a price. It conjures up an opposite force to Jonathan – a monster which endangers the town.

Taking the Field: Women, Men and Sports $5.92 In the past, when sport simply excluded girls, the equation of males with active athletic power and of females with weakness and passivity seemed to come easily, almost naturally. Now, however, with girls’ and women’s dramatic movement into sport, the process of exclusion has become a bit subtler, a bit more complicated-and yet, as Michael Messner shows us in this provocative book, no less effective. In Taking the Field, Messner argues that despite profound changes, the world of sport largely retains and continues its longtime conservative role in gender relations.To explore the current paradoxes of gender in sport, Messner identifies and investigates three levels at which the “center” of sport is constructed: the day-to-day practices of sport participants, the structured rules and hierarchies of sport institutions, and the dominant symbols and belief systems transmitted by the major sports media. Using these insights, he analyzes a moment of gender construction in the lives of four- and five-year-old children at a soccer opening ceremony, the way men’s violence is expressed through sport, the interplay of financial interests and dominant men’s investment in maintaining the status quo in the face of recent challenges, and the cultural imagery at the core of sport, particularly televised sports. Through these examinations Messner lays bare the practices and ideas that buttress-as well as those that seek to disrupt-the masculine center of sport. Taking the Field exposes the subtle and not-so-subtle ways in which men and women collectively construct gender through their interactions-interactions contextualized in the institutions and symbols of sport. Michael A. Messner is professor of sociology and gender studies at the University of Southern California. His previous books include Power at Play: Sports and the Problem of Masculinity (1995) and Politics of Masculinities: Men in Movements (1997).
