The Real Deal Student-Athlete Success Kit is an anecdote mixed with a how-to for young athletes who are interested in playing Division 1 sports. This book goes into the various topics that play into the day to day life of a college athlete. The stories and advice were developed after four years of college athletics and what lessons can be taught from that experience. There are eight million students who participate in high school athletics. However, there are little to no popular anecdotal resources about what it is like to play at the college level. In the Real Deal Student-Athlete Success Kit, future student-athletes are given the resources to help them start out on the right foot. Readers will not only be exposed to potential experiences, but expectations while being a student-athlete on and off the field/court/pool.

This volume comprises a collection of ten essays, written between 2002 and 2004, by Teodoro Petkoff, who during the last four decades has been one of Venezuela's most prominent politicians and political thinkers. He is still very active politically; for several months he was the main opposition candidate for his party, MAS (Movimiento al Socialismo), opposing Hugo Chavez in the run-up to Venezuela's general election, held in December 2006. Since 2000, he has been the editor of Tal Cual, one of the most widely read newspapers in Venezuela. First published in Spanish as Dos Izquierdas (Caracas: Alfadil, 2005), this book has been translated by Daniel Petkoff, and edited by Matthew Clark, with a view to introducing Petkoff's comment and analysis to the English-speaking world, as none of his previous publications has been translated into English.

An award-winning journalist overturns western stereotypes as he takes readers as he takes readers .outside the wire. of the war in Afghanistan and introduces the people whose defiant courage offers hope for the future. Far from the Taliban's grim desert strongholds, the country we visit with Terry Glavin is a surprisingly welcoming place, hidden away in alleys and narrow streets that bustle with blacksmiths, gem hawkers and spice merchants. This is the unseen Afghanistan, reawakening from decades of savagery and bloodletting. Glavin shows us how events have unfolded in Afghanistan since September 11, 2001. Travelling with fluent interpreters and Afghan human rights activists, Glavin meets people from many walks of life -- key political figures, teachers, journalists, farmers, students, burqa-shrouded women and soccer players -- and in these pages they speak for themselves. And in the life story of Afghan-Canadian writer, translator and activist Abdulrahim Parwani, he finds the story of Afghanistan's agonies over the past 30 years. Celebrated as .a critical voice in the dialogue that sustains a civil society,. Glavin is a co-founder of the Canada-Afghanistan Solidarity Committee and is increasingly seen as an expert on Canada's role in Afghanistan. He is also one of the best writers we have. Come from the Shadows mounts a passionately, marvellously readable challenge to the usual depiction of the war in Afghanistan. What, Glavin asks, has made the West incapable of hearing the voices of Afghans at the forefront of the global struggle against slavery, misogyny and tyranny? His answers are often unexpected and always illuminating.

"After having his heart broken by a girlfriend who turned lesbian on him, performance artist Bob Binkum stages one last performance and then takes off to see the world. His wanderings lead him to France, Greece, Turkey, and beyond — and always through a string of bad luck and harrowing near-disasters. In addition to collecting the entire "Bob" saga from out-of-print issues of Unsupervised Existence (including the rare early mini-comics), International Bob features an all-new eight-page conclusion to the story, written and drawn by LaBan for this book. Gut-wrenching and side-splitting, International Bob is a comic collection that takes you places you've never been — and probably never wanted to be, a roller coaster tour of half the world and one man's whole, tortured mind." -- Lambiek.net

One need only read the first lines of Tess Slesinger's title story-or indeed any of her stories-to know that hers is a unique literary voice, one that rivets a reader's attention to the page from the very beginning and holds it to the very end. Hers is, one soon discovers, also a wholly feminine voice: compelling, filled with insight, acute at observation, sure of its tone, and everywhere discovering the reality behind human appearances and pretensions. This is a remarkable collection of short stories by a brilliant young writer who was cut off in her prime when she died of cancer in 1945. “An intensely feminine book, in which bleakness, unemployment, heartache and heartlessness are combined with an agreeable feeling of settling down for conversation with an intimate, disillusioned, gossipy, malicious and often witty friend.”- New Statesman . “A genuine short-story writer...she has a good eye for the little tombstones of life.”- Nation .

Set in Miami Beach in 1972, this novel follows the Posner family--two Holocaust survivors, Sophie and Jacob, and their son, Adam--doing everything they can to avoid one another in a city with an infinite supply of colorful diversions. In '72 Miami hosted both the Republican and Democratic political conventions and experienced the rise of the counterculture, the Cold War, and the desegregation of the old South. Miami Beach was to be the Posner's salvation. Instead they discover their lives quickly turning into a Disney World of funhouse mirrors and chaotic rides that give them front row seats through a transformational year in American culture, politics, and history.
