The Golden Generation
Discover the untold story of Canadian men''s basketball, from Steve Nash''s breakthrough at the 2000 Olympics to two decades of struggle, controversy, and missed opportunity. The Golden Generation follows the Canadian basketball journey from obscurity to resurgence as a new generation of NBA stars, like Andrew Wiggins and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, propel Canada back to international glory. When Steve Nash led underdog Team Canada to the quarterfinals of the 2000 Olympics, many assumed the golden age of Canadian basketball was at hand. Instead, it took 24 years for the Canadian men to get back to international basketball''s biggest stage, with a wave of immigration pushing the sport into every corner of the country and a new generation of superstars blossoming into household names. How did we get here? And why did it take so long? In The Golden Generation, sports journalist Oren Weisfeld uncovers the growth of Canadian basketball through the lens of Team Canada and its most influential figures, alternating between chronicling key moments in the rise of the Canadian men''s national team and profiling key figures in the grassroots basketball landscape. Through over 100 original interviews with athletes, coaches, and behind-the-scenes power brokers, The Golden Generation explores the role racism played in the national team''s early struggles, how pioneers like Cory Joseph and Tristan Thompson paved a new path for high schoolers to follow before Jamal Murray recreated it, the enigma that is Andrew Wiggins, and the backstories of the core group of players that brought Canada back to the Olympics, including superstar Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Canadian basketball has come a long way over the past two decades, with a record 24 current NBA players, a sophisticated grassroots infrastructure, and a top-ranked national team. But many trailblazers had to take their hits to lay the foundation for the current generation to thrive. The Golden Generation puts all the pieces and players together to explain how Canada became a basketball country with a bright future ahead.
Madness
From dealing with the cantankerous and cheapskate owner of the Toronto Maple Leafs to hosting radio hotline shows to anchoring a revolutionary late-night program, Sportsline, Mark Hebscher finally tells the unheard stories from his 45 years in the bizarre business of sports broadcasting. How would you react if hockey superstar Wayne Gretzky sweated all over your dress pants during a live TV interview? What if heavyweight boxing champion Leon Spinks threatened to harm you if you didn''t dance with his wife? These are just two of the occupational obstacles faced by Mark Hebscher during his checkered career in sports media. From covering Harold Ballard, the cantankerous owner of the Toronto Maple Leafs, to helping lead a cultural revolution in sports broadcasting on the late-night program Sportsline, Hebscher tells stories of his 45 years in the business in his new book, Madness: The Rise and Ruin of Sports Media. This is a compelling look at the evolution of sports journalism and how today''s media coverage drastically differs from the days of newspapers and magazines. At the same time, it explores the effect that radio, TV, and later technology has had on sports coverage, and how men like Howard Cosell changed the way sports was reported on. How did Wide World of Sports and Hockey Night in Canada become so ingrained in popular culture? What was it about Sportsline that made it mandatory viewing? Who were the athletes, sportswriters, sportscasters, reporters, and play-by-play announcers that fueled his desire to be a part of the sports media landscape? In the end, Hebscher''s encounters with the Great One, MC Hammer, Youppi!, Doug Flutie, and Doug Gilmour are more than mildly amusing ... and his unparalleled knowledge of the sports media universe shines throughout.
The Hooded Man
An adventure roleplaying game inspired by the legends of Robin Hood.You are hunter and prey, a friend of the people and an enemy of tyrants. Your realm is the deep forest, amidst the birch and ancient oak. Falsely accused, only your wits and your longbow can save you from the gallows. You are an outlaw, an outcast, a hooded man…Prince John rules with an iron fist and Robin Hood is already a legendary figure, a champion of the common people, and a symbol of resistance against the tyranny of the nobility. Even Robin Hood cannot be everywhere, however, and many still fall foul of powerful landowners, grasping tax-collectors, and greedy barons. Charged with crimes and forced from their homes, the life of an outlaw seems to be the only option. Some, seeking vengeance or inspired by tales of Robin''s bravery, refuse to submit and fight back against those who have driven them into the greenwood. The Hooded Man is a roleplaying game of heroism and adventure that tells the stories of these rebels, be they members of Robin’s band, striking out against the Sheriff of Nottingham from their lair in Sherwood Forest, or an outlaw company of the players’ own creation. Characters are drawn from all walks of life, bringing their own talents, histories, and motives to the company, and the simple D6 dice-pool system keeps the focus on these heroes and their fight against tyranny and oppression.

Bohemka je a bude - Kniha první 1905-1973, 2. vydání
Uznávaný historik českého fotbalu a také na jiných polích osvědčený autor literatury faktu, držitel řady prestižních ocenění, se do dějin jednoho z nejslavnějších českých fotbalových klubů poprvé zapsal roku 2005 jubilejní publikací Zelenobílé století. Historie pražských Klokanů i jejich kouzelného Ďolíčku, které byl a je po víc než sedm desetiletí sám svědkem, ho upoutala tak, že se k ní teď vrací v mnohem rozsáhlejší podobě. V první části klubové kroniky, kterou teď držíte v rukou, zkušený autor zasvěceně a podmanivě provádí čtenáře obdobím od zrození klubu, lety vítězství i porážek, triumfů i pádů, podivuhodných a dramatických příběhů, putování zelenobílého týmu po cestách světem fotbalu, vroubených někdy vavřínem a jindy zase trním, až do roku 1973. Tehdy se Bohemians po tříleté pauze vrátili do nejvyšší domácí soutěže a zahájili vzestup, který v sezoně 1982/83 vyvrcholil dobytím mistrovského titulu a skvělou reprezentací našeho fotbalu v poháru UEFA. O těchto velkých úspěších však už vypráví kniha druhá, která zavede čtenáře až do finiše ligového ročníku 2019/20. Součástí této kroniky 115leté historie je bohatá dokumentační příloha působení Vršovických v domácích i mezinárodních soutěžích i ve státní reprezentaci. Toto dvousvazkové dílo svou šíří a hloubkou záběru v české fotbalové literatuře bez nadsázky zatím nemá obdobu. Příběh zelenobílých Klokanů lze číst jedním dechem a přesto se k němu čtenáři budou stále vracet.

Česká fotbalová liga slaví v roce 2025 jubilejních sto let existence. To je jistě dostatečný důvod k ohlédnutí se za stoletím fenoménu jménem nejvyšší fotbalová soutěž. Liga viděná, komentovaná a popsaná dvěma desítkami spolutvůrců, kteří se podíleli svými postřehy v jednotlivých kapitolách na tomto úctyhodném projektu. Výsledkem je zasvěcená monografie obsahující více než stovku kapitol, zpracovaných z různých úhlů pohledu renomovanými a respektovanými fotbalovými historiky a sportovními novináři.
Na rozdíl od jiných publikací vydaných v ČR, jež také připomínají 100 let ligy, tato kniha neobsahuje jen statistiky za sto let (kolik padlo gólů za sto let, kolik bylo vyloučeno hráčů za sto let, kolik se odehrálo utkání za sto let, kolik se kopalo penalt za sto let atd., a to bez jakýchkoliv dalších podrobností), ale popisuje průběh všech jednotlivých ročníků, zveřejňuje konečné ligové tabulky, hráčské kádry mistrů ligy, zajímavé okamžiky každé fotbalové sezony, medailonky osobností ligy a další informace dotvářející sto let ligového fotbalu. Autoři také věnují pozornost lokálnímu vnímání zisku titulu v jednotlivých regionech, v sídlech klubů, které svými úspěchy přitahovaly a stále přitahují širokou obec příznivců do ochozů svých stadionů.

The Book of Walking Dangerously
The focus of this book is not to provide a walking guide or a history of walking. Neither is it about the practical, functional or therapeutic nature of walking. The Book of Walking Dangerously investigates the kind of walking that is a by-product of something leisurely that entails a high and often unintended degree of possible risk. It sets out to map the ways in which the imagination is shaped by danger and the kinds of ecstasy, meaning and freedom it ignites. It is about introspection, the act of looking inward and exploring new thoughts and feelings. As a result, it is an important means of entering worlds where other things are made possible. Kevin Bingham's point, in a nutshell, is that people can have a fulfilling leisure life through danger if they are willing to deal with the delicate art of disagreeableness.

The Port Vale Miscellany
Port Vale Football Club – the name gives no clue to its whereabouts, but this book will tell you all of the highs, lows and downright strange happenings at a club that has been in existence in the Potteries for over 150 years. Port Vale became the first club to defeat all of the other 91 teams in league games in the main four divisions as of 2021 and have kept up the record in every season since then. Vale fan and player Tom Pope was the leading scorer in Britain in 2012/13 with 33 goals, none of them being penalties. Cardiff City once offered a blank cheque for winger Colin Askey, and the club turned it down! Vale Park once held over 49,000 fans for an FA Cup tie v Aston Villa. From an FA Cup semi-final to expulsion from the league, and from four Wembley appearances to a ten-goal home defeat when the goalkeeper lost his glasses in the mud, it’s all here. Recounting the record wins, defeats and attendances, the highs of classic giant-killings and the lows of going into administration, The Port Vale Miscellany is a book on the Valiants like no other, packed with facts, stats, trivia, stories and legends.

Baseball's Most Outrageous Promotions
In major league baseball, the period between 1946 and the early 1980s represented the Era of the Barnums, when certain inspired owners and executives raised to an artform the use of promotions to increase attendance at ballgames. This book highlights the thirteen most outrageous promotions in major league history. These promotions go far beyond giving away some outlandish Hawaiian shirt or unique bobblehead. The promotions covered herein involved a battle with weapons between baseball players and fans, children running willy-nilly around a baseball field, naked fans running the bases, drunken fans trashing baseball fields, fans dismantling a stadium while a game is ongoing, fans managing a game from the stands, women parading in wet T-shirts, mass marriages, the Beatles playing to a nearly half-empty stadium, a mule mascot treated better than players, and an explosion on a baseball field large enough to create a crater as part of a promotion that possibly heralded the death of disco music. Even wilder promotions are covered in impressive detail in this unique piece of major league history.
