In 2010 and 2011, the University of South Carolina Gamecocks baseball team won back-to-back national championships, an accomplishment won by only six other teams in the 68-year College World Series. In 2012, a few veteran players returned to try for a three-peat a feat completed once only by Southern California in 1972. The rest of the new Gamecocks squad was made up of fresh men hardly expected to have a winning season let alone win a college world series. Still, the 2012 season turned magical! Wet-behind-the-ears freshmen coalesced into a winning team led by returning ace Michael Roth and bullpen fireman Matt Price, who were playing their final season with the Gamecocks. A starry night at Carolina Stadium saw Roth's masterful final performance as a Gamecock propel the reborn team into the last available berth at Omaha and a chance at the three-peat. What happened that night drew high praise from the opposing coach: ..". as a baseball fan and somebody that really loves the game - Roth's performance was 'Poetic Justice.'" The rest of this spell-binding baseball story -- written by the internationally published author who co-wrote CAROLINA BASEBALL: PRESSURE MAKES DIAMONDS and its eBook edition PRESSURE MAKES DIAMONDS A TIMELESS TALE OF AMERICA'S GREATEST PASTIME -- reveals an insider's view of a miraculous season of wins that excited Gamecock Nation fans and will thrill everyone who loves baseball, young or old!

In ThunderCloud (The Oddities of One Man's Journey to Manhood) an excommunicated teen's struggle to survive in a world of strangers, some good and some bad, mirrors our own challenges in many ways. ThunderCloud's adventures force him to confront his inner demons, real and imaginary, which have lead him to his lonely situation. What he discovers inside, changes his whole outlook on his past, present and future, as the oddities of people, cultures, generations, fantasies, and circumstances shape the way he relates to others; how to live and work within groups; and how to understand that every condition of his life is his personal responsibility. Whether or not his tribe accepts his return, accompanied by a motley gaggle of people and myriad stories to tell, is the final question! * * * About the Cover Artist: Zhou Shu Liang was born in China and raised in a family of artists. He studied at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing and Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts in Guangzhou. Liang furthered his art study in the United States in 1982. He earned his BFA in painting at Massachusetts College of Arts in 1986 and his MFA in Painting at Boston University in 1989. Liang received his great inspiration in this country while studying and painting the Wampanoag Indian culture at the outdoor Museum in Plymouth, Massachusetts. This newfound interest fired his imagination, and he began to focus his painting primarily on Native American Indian cultures and their traditional ways of life. Liang's obvious passion for the Indians as a people, coupled with his emphasis on historical accuracy, adds strength and truth to his portrayals. Among the many awards Liang has received are: The David P. Usher Patrons' Choice Award, Master of the American West, 2009; the President's Award for Excellence, Oil Painters of America, 2005; Best of Show Award and People's Choice Award, the American Society of Portrait Artists, 1998; the Arthur Ross Award for Painting, Classical America, New York, 1992; and the Lila Acheson Award for Painting, the Society of American Illustrators, 1986. Liang is represented by Trailside Galleries in Jackson, Wyoming and Scottsdale, Arizona.

En Clemente: la pasión y el donaire del ultimo héroe del béisbol, David Maraniss revive magistralmente al extraordinario deportista valiéndose de una narración de gran vuelo y de meticulosos detalles para captar, a un tiempo, al hombre y al mito. El último día de 1972, después de dieciocho magníficas temporadas en las grandes ligas, Roberto Clemente murió como un héroe al estrellarse el avión en que llevaba alimentos y suministros médicos a Nicaragua luego de un devastador terremoto. Cualquiera que vio jugar a Clemente, nunca podría olvidarlo: era una obra de arte en un juego que con demasiada frecuencia se define por las estadísticas. Durante su carrera con los Piratas de Pittsburg, ganó cuatro títulos de bateo y llevó a su equipo a los campeonatos de 1960 y 1971. Su carrera concluyó con tres mil hits, y él y Lou Gehrig son los únicos jugadores en la historia del béisbol cuya consagración en el Pabellón de la Fama no tomó en cuenta los tradicionales cinco años de espera. Pero Roberto Clemente fue un atleta singular que transcendió el ámbito de los deportes para convertirse en un símbolo de causas mayores. Nacido en Carolina, Puerto Rico, en 1934, una época cuando no había negros ni puertorriqueños en el béisbol profesional de Estados Unidos, Clemente llegaría a ser uno de los peloteros más notables de las grandes ligas; un jugador que se destacó por su determinación, su elegancia y su dignidad, y que abrió el camino para muchos latinos de generaciones posteriores que ahora brillan en ese deporte.

A New York Times Book Review Notable Book of 2020 Winner of the Ernest J. Gaines Award for Literary Excellence “A comically dark coming-of-age story about growing up on the South Side of Chicago, but it’s also social commentary at its finest, woven seamlessly into the work . . . Bump’s meditation on belonging and not belonging, where or with whom, how love is a way home no matter where you are, is handled so beautifully that you don’t know he’s hypnotized you until he’s done.” —Tommy Orange, The New York Times Book Review In this alternately witty and heartbreaking debut novel, Gabriel Bump gives us an unforgettable protagonist, Claude McKay Love. Claude isn’t dangerous or brilliant—he’s an average kid coping with abandonment, violence, riots, failed love, and societal pressures as he steers his way past the signposts of youth: childhood friendships, basketball tryouts, first love, first heartbreak, picking a college, moving away from home. Claude just wants a place where he can fit. As a young black man born on the South Side of Chicago, he is raised by his civil rights–era grandmother, who tries to shape him into a principled actor for change; yet when riots consume his neighborhood, he hesitates to take sides, unwilling to let race define his life. He decides to escape Chicago for another place, to go to college, to find a new identity, to leave the pressure cooker of his hometown behind. But as he discovers, he cannot; there is no safe haven for a young black man in this time and place called America. Percolating with fierceness and originality, attuned to the ironies inherent in our twenty-first-century landscape, Everywhere You Don’t Belong marks the arrival of a brilliant young talent.

Written in response to the Hawk's Nest Tunnel disaster of 1931 in Gauley Bridge, West Virginia, The Book of the Dead is an important part of West Virginia's cultural heritage and a powerful account of one of the worst industrial catastrophes in American history. The poems collected here investigate the roots of a tragedy that killed hundreds of workers, most of them African American. They are a rare engagement with the overlap between race and environment in Appalachia. Published for the first time alongside photographs by Nancy Naumburg, who accompanied Rukeyser to Gauley Bridge in 1936, this edition of The Book of the Dead includes an introduction by Catherine Venable Moore, whose writing on the topic has been anthologized in Best American Essays.
