"RUNNING AN ARENA WAS NO GAME I had many ideas on making the Philadelphia Flyers and the Spectrum zing, some solid- some zany. Ed Snider pretty much let me call the shots, as long as I ran the more risky or costly ones by him. If I couldn't convince him, I'd try to tamper them down from Just Plain Wild to Let's Hope We Don't Get Arrested. I was a riverboat gambler, Ed was a card counter. I doubled down, he cut the odds. I was a swaggering Sagittarian. He was the cautious Capricorn. I dubbed us Flash & Cash. Between us, we went to work selling hockey, Philly Style. Blades, Bands, and Ballers is Lou Scheinfeld's inside story of running the Spectrum with Ed Snider. Stories include the Jerry Wolman blood feud, Sinatra and The Philly Mob, making the Broad Street Bullies, Smokin' Joe Frazier's snub, Elvis' sad final stop, Dr. J. and the 76ers, the Electric Factory's impact, Rizzo and The Rolling Stones, the Kate Smith debacle and many more"--

The star and creative force behind Mr. Show and Arrested Development pens his "first and final book, chronicling his meteoric rise and abysmal fall in the literary world." After a decade spent in isolation in the Ugandan jungles thinking about stuff, David Cross has written his first book. Known for roles on the small screen such as "never-nude" Tobias Funke on Arrested Development and the role of "David" in Mr. Show With Bob And David, as well as a hugely successful stand-up routine full of sharp-tongued rants and rages, Cross has carved out his place in American comedy. Whether deflating the pomposity of religious figures, calling out the pathetic symbiosis of pseudo-celebrity and its leaching fandom, or merely pushing the buttons of the way-too-easily offended P.C. left or the caustic, double-standard of the callous (but funnier) right, Cross has something to say about everyone, including his own ridiculous self. Now, for the first time, Cross is weaving his media mockery, celebrity denunciation, religious commentary and sheer madness into book form, revealing the true story behind his almost existential distaste of Jim Belushi ("The Belush"), disclosing the up-to-now unpublished minutes to a meeting of Fox television network executives, and offering up a brutally grotesque run-in with Bill O'Reilly. And as if this wasn't enough for your laughing pleasure in these troubled times, some of the pieces splinter off with additional material being created online in exclusive video and animated web content created solely for the book-a historical first (presumably)! With a mix of personal essays, satirical fiction posing as truth, advice for rich people, information from America's least favorite Rabbi and a top-ten list of top-ten lists, I Drink for a Reason is as unique as the comedian himself, and cannot be missed.

Ben Wolf has big things planned for his senior year. Had big things planned. Now what he has is some very bad news and only one year left to make his mark on the world. How can a pint-sized, smart-ass seventeen-year-old do anything significant in the nowheresville of Trout, Idaho? First, Ben makes sure that no one else knows what is going on—not his superstar quarterback brother, Cody, not his parents, not his coach, no one. Next, he decides to become the best 127-pound football player Trout High has ever seen; to give his close-minded civics teacher a daily migraine; and to help the local drunk clean up his act. And then there's Dallas Suzuki. Amazingly perfect, fascinating Dallas Suzuki, who may or may not give Ben the time of day. Really, she's first on the list. Living with a secret isn't easy, though, and Ben's resolve begins to crumble . . . especially when he realizes that he isn't the only person in Trout with secrets.

"Investigating Iwo encourages us to explore the connection between American visual culture and World War II, particularly how the image inspired Marines, servicemembers, and civilians to carry on with the war and to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice to ensure victory over the Axis Powers. Chapters shed light on the processes through which history becomes memory and gains meaning over time. The contributors ask only that we be willing to take a closer look, to remain open to new perspectives that can deepen our understanding of familiar topics related to the flag raising, including Rosenthal's famous picture, that continue to mean so much to us today"--

Hockey's Hardest Hitting Book More than a personal memoir, this book describes the author's experiences with the players, ownership, and management of the Philadelphia Flyers: one of the National Hockey League's (NHL's) premier teams. For over six decades, Larry Clay has been a fan and keen observer of ice hockey, both in the USA and internationally. He's also a former coach, administrator, and hockey equipment retailer. This unique perspective gives Mr. Clay the ability to reveal misinformation (past and present) from several sources (and organizations) concerning the state of ice hockey. You'll discover Why the author (and others) faced a shocking battle with Flyers former management. How the Flyer's ownership cost the franchise and their fans a dynasty. How the Broad Street Bullies Alumni were once nearly defeated by an amateur men's hockey team. Why the authors association with a former Flyer's Superstar went bad. The horrifying truth about the NHL and the NHLPA (the Players Union) and how much they really care about player safety. How the NHL (and government agencies) pushed the worst scandal in hockey history 'under the ice.' When Canada lost ownership of "their game" Plus much, much more! Writing in a blunt and direct style, Larry Clay takes you 'Behind The Orange Curtain' where each chapter tells a different story. Whether you're a serious or casual fan of the sport, you'll never look at professional ice hockey the same way again.

Hernia repair is one of the commonest operations in general surgery. Open or laparoscopic repair of a primary inguinal hernia is a relatively straightforward operation, but more complex abdominal wall hernias demand greater surgical skill and knowledge. The editors have assembled the world's top herniologists to describe and illustrate numerous surgical techniques in detail. The field of herniology has developed rapidly over the last few years. Since the previous edition of this book, published in 2003, new surgical techniques have been developed and many new prosthetic and biologic materials have been introduced. Management of Abdominal Hernias 4e presents an authoritative, comprehensive and fully updated account of the surgical techniques and the available prosthetic materials for performing repair of abdominal wall hernias. Both open and laparoscopic methods are included. It is aimed at general and specialist surgeons in the practice of clinical surgery, as well as trainee surgeons.
