Rudy Giuliani emerged from the smoke of 9/11 as the unquestioned hero of the day: America''s Mayor, the father figure we could all rely on to be tough, to be wise, to do the right thing. In that uncertain time, it was a comfort to know that he was on the scene and in control, making the best of a dire situation.But was he really?Grand Illusion is the definitive report on Rudy Giuliani''s role in 9/11—the true story of what happened that day and the first clear-eyed evaluation of Giuliani''s role before, during, and after the disaster.While the pictures of a soot-covered Giuliani making his way through the streets became very much a part of his personal mythology, they were also a symbol of one of his greatest failures. The mayor''s performance, though marked by personal courage and grace under fire, followed two terms in office pursuing an utterly wrongheaded approach to the city''s security against terrorism. Turning the mythology on its head, Grand Illusion reveals how Giuliani has revised his own history, casting himself as prescient terror hawk when in fact he ran his administration as if terrorist threats simply did not exist, too distracted by pet projects and turf wars to attend to vital precautions.Authors Wayne Barrett and Dan Collins also provide the first authoritative view of the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, recounting the triumphs and missteps of the city''s efforts to heal itself. With surprising new reporting about the victims, the villains, and the heroes, this is an eye-opening reassessment of one of the pivotal events—and politicians—of our time. - Häftad, Engelska, 2017

Over the course of a restless summer, Lee moves between London, Los Angeles, Tokyo, Rome and Berlin, rediscovering a hapless instinct for misadventure.

Based on the gold-standard currency of tradition and success, few college basketball programs are richer in history than Wake Forest University’s. This reissue of Tales from the Wake Forest Demon Deacons Locker Room, first published in 2004, traces that vibrant history from the birth of the league to the growing successes of the team today. An original member of the Atlantic Coast Conference, the Demon Deacons have provided the acclaimed league with much of its color and character—not to mention many of its colorful characters.Author Dan Collins provides stories about legendary players like Muggsy Bogues, the 5’3” guard who defied the description of basketball as a big man’s game, and the glory days of Tim Duncan, the onetime aspiring Olympic swimmer who grew up to become a five-time NBA champion and one of the greatest players in the game. The book looks at great coaches like Richard Crozier, the director of the university gymnasium who introduced basketball to Wake Forest; coach Murray Greason, whose love for the game of basketball was second only to his love for his beagle hounds; and coach Bones McKinney, the hyperactive Baptist minister whose dual, and at times dueling, religions were based on the Bible and basketball. Tales from the Wake Forest Demon Deacons Locker Room chronicles how Wake Forest basketball survived the university’s relocation from the quaint town of Wake Forest to the city of Winston-Salem, and how the university has thrived with the support of its devoted fans.Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Sports Publishing imprint, are proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in sports—books about baseball, pro football, college football, pro and college basketball, hockey, or soccer, we have a book about your sport or your team.Whether you are a New York Yankees fan or hail from Red Sox nation; whether you are a die-hard Green Bay Packers or Dallas Cowboys fan; whether you root for the Kentucky Wildcats, Louisville Cardinals, UCLA Bruins, or Kansas Jayhawks; whether you route for the Boston Bruins, Toronto Maple Leafs, Montreal Canadiens, or Los Angeles Kings; we have a book for you.

I wrote this book as part of a personal journey to learn more about nutrition and fitness so that I could better understand the role nutrition plays in reshaping my body. Once I discovered the prevalent fitness concept of carbohydrate rich diets and workout routines centered around cardio training were simply wrong, it became my mission to spread the word - the truth about nutrition and fitness.
The discovery that regularly eating large amounts of carbohydrates and how that directly affected my blood sugar management was the key to determining why my body created and retained body fat. This realization led me to design Eat More, Do Less, Get Fit to explain why the current and accepted misperceptions about nutrition and training are so wrong and what I believe to be the correct method to reshape your body.
When it comes to training, I learned that it is not cardio, but progressive weight training that will reshape your body. Cardio only trains slow-twitch muscle while progressive weight training works your fast-twitch muscle. Fast-twitch muscle fiber is the only one of the two that can be grown which is necessary to reshaping your body.
I am just a regular guy who has discovered what it really takes to reshape your body through nutrition & fitness training and it is not near as hard as what you have been led to believe. All you have to do is Eat More, Do Less, Get Fit!

Lacan on the Road explores a large number of talks, lectures, and interviews that Jacques Lacan gave away from his famous seminar in Paris. As well as providing an opportunity to examine some lesser-known works of Lacan, the book specifically seeks to explore how Lacan’s rhetoric and style changed for various audiences.Sometimes, Lacan used talks away from his seminar to summarize current developments from his teaching and state them more succinctly and aphoristically. At other times, he used the opportunity of talking to an unfamiliar audience to announce completely new ideas. Readers familiar with the seminars will know that Lacan often came back invigorated from trips abroad or even from locales closer to home, such as Belgium and Italy. This book provides the opportunity to examine what he said on those occasions when he was away. What emerges here, then, is rich and rewarding supplemental body of Lacan’s work.- Inbunden, Engelska, 2016
