Biking in the city is no longer just for bike messengers with a death wish.

Jason Turbow and Michael Duca take us behind the scenes of the great American pastime. Players talk about the game as they never have before, breaking the code of secrecy that surrounds so much of baseball, both on the field and in the clubhouse. We learn why pitchers sometimes do retaliate when one of their teammates is hit by a pitch and other times let it go. We hear about the subtle forms of payback that occur when a player violates the rules out of ignorance instead of disrespect. We find out why cheating is acceptable (but getting caught at cheating is not), and how off-field tensions can get worked out on the diamond. These tacit rules are illuminated with often incredible stories about everyone from national heroes true eccentrics.--From publisher description. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1168571 Everything you need to use kettlebells to safely lose weight, boost your metabolism, and become strong and lean.

Through hard work, courage, and determination, Vardon had escaped a hopeless life of poverty in Britain to achieve universal recognition as the greatest champion in the games long and storied history. Ouimet, a virtual unknown from Massachusetts, was only three years removed from his youthful career as a lowly caddie. He worshiped Vardon, a man twice his age, innovator of the modern grip and swing, daring only to dream of following in his heros footsteps. When these two unlikely opponents finally came together in their legendary battle at the 1913 U.S. Open, the worlds reaction to its remarkable drama and heartstopping climax gave rise to the sport of golf as we know it today. Weaving together the stories of Vardon and Ouimet to create his narrative, Mark Frost has crafted a uniquely involving, intimate epic; equal parts sports biography, sweeping social history, and emotional human drama.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=408240 An irreverent look at the worlds largest sports event. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=310615 Climb focuses on the most exciting descriptions of the hardest climbing in the world, from the cliffs of Yosemite to the windswept towers of Patagonia to the high peaks of the Himalayas. 16 photos. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=274660 In this guide, a veteran bicycle touring instructor and her young daughter share years of experience and research on everything parents need to know about bicycling and children, from toddler to teen.
