Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Believe in yourself; believe in your team; believe in your dreams.It's the motto Lexi Montgomery has trained with her whole life, dreaming of playing professional soccer since she could dribble a ball. Now, at seventeen, she is living her dream. She's playing for the Under-20 U. S. Women's National Team. SportsCenter has touted her as the next Mia Hamm. And she's about to play in her first World Cup.Until she goes down with a season-ending ACL injury.Seven months of grueling physical therapy later, she's back on the pitch, trying to lead her high school teammates to their first-ever State Championship. Physically she's ready; mentally, not so much. She chokes in her first two returns and, mid-game, storms off the field without a proper substitution. Lexi doesn't know why she's hit a mental wall and is pretty sure she'll never get past it. But then she meets Brasil. A guy her dad would definitely not approve of. He's twenty. He's a high school dropout. To her dad's chagrin, he's also a freestyler-a guy who can perform tricks with a soccer ball better than a Harlem Globetrotter. But he can move the ball like no one she's ever met. He entices her into competing in freestyle competitions with him. He teaches her how to play soccer at a whole new level. Most importantly, he gets her to believe in herself again. But even if it's enough to get her back onto the pitch before her high school season ends forever, she may have to choose between Brasil and her team. Because his freestyle competition? It's the same day as State Championship. Dirty Dancing meets Friday Night Lights, but with soccer, about a soccer prodigy struggling after an ACL injury and the boy who teaches her freestyle to help her believe in herself again.

Built over four decades, the Collection covers almost all types of bronze vessels found in the entire span of Shang, Zhou and Han Dynasties, circa 1600 BC - AD 220. The Catalogue is lavishly illustrated, capturing the beauty of the bronzes, with the majority featured in actual size. Each piece is documented in detail, with reference to comparable specimens and archaeological findings. Uniquely, the Catalogue includes several series of objects in chronological sequence; this enables the reader to study the evolution of form, design and technology throughout the three dynasties. Opening with the Editor's essay on his personal journey in forming the Collection, the volume brings together six thought-provoking essays that contribute refreshingly to the scholarship on ancient Chinese bronzes and early China. Dr Tianlong Jiao places the Shen Zhai Collection within the historical context of bronze collecting and modern Chinese archaeology. Prof Eugene Wang offers a thesis on the Hu vessel as the embodiment of life-affirming energies. Prof Li Feng makes a case for 'archaism' as a divergent tradition in Western Zhou. Prof Allison Miller fleshes out the new hybrid style and iconography of Han bronzes, which gave form to an all-inclusive imperial imagination. Two iconic bronzes with animal motifs stand out: the double-headed owl zun and the gilt-bronze bear figure. Dr Wang Tao delves into the symbolism of the owl in early China, highlighting the significance of the Shen Zhai owl zun, which he traces to the transition from late Shang to early Western Zhou. Ms Sarah Wong examines the Shen Zhai bear and discusses the mythological roots of the bear motif in Han bronzes. DIALOGUE with THE ANCIENTS will serve as a valuable reference book on ancient Chinese bronzes - inviting both specialists and general readers to discover anew the fascinating world of early Chinese civilisation.…
