A one-of-a-kind book - a one-of-a-kind series. In this unique book, Donald Honig highlights the careers of the 15 greatest catchers of all time. The catcher is a ballplayer with few luxuries; he is also the one player whose most important contributions to his team's success go unnoticed by the public. Don examines the best players at this position; the men who view the field from the other way around, encased in archaic-looking equipment & are forced to spend most of their time in a squatting position. The remaining books in this series will examine the greatest players for all other positions. He includes players such as Roger Bresnahan, Johnny Kling, Yogi Berra, Johnny Bench, Carlton Fish, Thurman Munson, & others. Richly illustrated with over 120 black & white photos. Honig has written over 30 books about baseball. Some of his classics include: BASEBALL WHEN THE GRASS WAS REAL, THE IMAGE OF THEIR GREATNESS (with Lawrence Ritter), & BASEBALL: THE ILLUSTRATED HISTORY OF AMERICA'S GAME.

Though many of his contemporaries considered him second only to Babe Ruth in the 1920s and 1930s, Mickey Cochrane is often overlooked by fans and historians. The hard-hitting catcher played on three World Series winners. Fiercely competitive on the field, Cochrane was a true gentleman off it. Though he was a highly regarded member of the A's championship teams, it is his career in Depression-era Detroit that he is best remembered. The pressure of the adulation there and his duties as player, manager and Tigers vice president led to a breakdown in 1935. On his way to recovery, he was hit in the head by a pitch thrown by Bump Hadley and was nearly killed, ending his career. This full story of Cochrane's Hall of Fame career and his off-field life was researched from primary documents and interviews with his family.

In this classic text, Jane Jacobs set out to produce an attack on current city planning and rebuilding and to introduce new principles by which these should be governed. The result is one of the most stimulating books on cities ever written. Throughout the post-war period, planners temperamentally unsympathetic to cities have been let loose on our urban environment. Inspired by the ideals of the Garden City or Le Corbusier's Radiant City, they have dreamt up ambitious projects based on self-contained neighbourhoods, super-blocks, rigid 'scientific' plans and endless acres of grass. Yet they seldom stop to look at what actually works on the ground. The real vitality of cities, argues Jacobs, lies in their diversity, architectural variety, teeming street life and human scale. It is only when we appreciate such fundamental realities that we can hope to create cities that are safe, interesting and economically viable, as well as places that people want to live in. 'Perhaps the most influential single work in the history of town planning... Jacobs has a powerful sense of narrative, a lively wit, a talent for surprise and the ability to touch the emotions as well as the mind' New York Times Book Review

On Halloween in her fourteenth year, Lizzy Mortimer saw her first death spector. Confused at first, Lizzy soon learns from her grandmother, Bizzy, that as descendant of Morgan le Fay, it is their job to prevent fate from taking its course when an unjust death is planned-a job that has been passed down for countless generations. Now that she is old enough to be a death catcher, Lizzy must learn all she can about preventing death from claiming its victims, a job more complicated than a simple warning. Only she didn't expect a feud older than time between two of the sisters of Avalon, Morgan le Fay and Vivienne Le Mort, to culminate on her watch as they try to wipe out King Arthur's last descendant. And their next victim is Drake Westfall, a boy that Lizzy just happens to be secretly in love with. Can Lizzy outwit fate before it's too late?

Baseball is played in all corners of the world, so it is no surprise to learn that some of the greatest hardballers of all time never played on a U.S. major league diamond. Who knows what major league records would have been shattered had Sadaharu Oh of Japan, Josh Gibson of the Negro Leagues, Martin Dihigo of Cuba, Francisco Coimbre of Puerto Rico and Hector Espino of Mexico played in the United States. This work is a survey of the greatest baseball players who never played in the U.S. major leagues. The greatest players from the various professional leagues outside organized baseball in the United States are reviewed, and all-star teams are selected for each league. Finally, the author selects an "all-world all-star team" from the individual all-star teams from Japan, Mexico, Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic and the Negro Leagues.
