Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Child abuse is beyond the realm of reasonable people, yet it happens far too often. How does a child process abuse What gives a child the courage to face daily humiliation, pain, and suffering The damage for many children is beyond repair, and often opens up a lifetime of heartache and shame. As a child, Al Rivera endured the daily verbal and physical abuse of the one person who should have showered him with love: his mother, and from foster parents who took her place in raising him until he was eighteen.Despite daily abuse, however, Al Rivera faced each new day with a smile and with the excitement of a schoolboy counting the minutes until recess. Yet, Al was not a schoolboy when he found his joy. He was a barefoot shoeshine boy, from the age of four to eight, walking miles every day to find customers on city streets. Downtown Phoenix, Arizona became Al Rivera's playground, his source of happiness, where life was as real as the dumpster food that kept him alive. Al's daily search for food was just another game to him. Yet, unlike many children who grow up on the streets, Al Rivera overcame all odds to excel in school, sports, and business. He became the Number One minority masonry business in Arizona. His successful climb to the top is the subject of his next book. The Barefoot Shoeshine Boy will touch your heart like no other book. Its stories of a young boy's triumph over abuse and adversity will inspire, and its little chapter lessons will offer insights into the power of the human spirit to survive.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This book takes you back to the 1950s and allows you to relive the beginningof the modern era of the NFL through the eyes of an unknown lineman AlBarry. Join me to learn what it was like to live in The Big Apple, practice andplay in Yankee Stadium in the late '50s with many of the best football playersand coaches of all time. Personalities like Vince Lombardi, Tom Landry, FrankGifford, Rosy Grier, Sam Huff, Emlen Tunnell, Pat Summerall, Don Maynard,Charley Conerly, Andy Robustelli, Don Chandler, Kyle Rote, and Jack Kemp toname a few of our 1958 New York Giants football team.In December 1993, former president, Richard Nixon, was eating dinner at Club21 in New York City. This was also the site of the 35th year reunion of the players and coaches of the NFL Championship Game of 1958 (New York Giants vs. Baltimore Colts). As we were entering the restaurant, Jack Kemp, a backup quarterback on the 1958 Giants, heard from the maitre de that Nixon was dining there. Kemp, who was to become Republican nominee for vice president on the Dole- Kemp ticket in 1996, stopped off to pay his regards and asked Nixon if he would like to come up after dinner and talk to the players.Nixon was a big football fan and he remembered the 1958 game in great detailand said he would be pleased to come up and visit with us. President Nixonwas very gracious. He shook each player's hand and introduced himself to thespouses and then talked for about 15 minutes. He ended his remarks by tellingus that, in his opinion, the real unsung heroes of pro football are the offensive linemen.Although Rosy Grier, from the defensive line, vehemently disagreed, the offensive centers, guards, and tackles all cheered. This experience started me thinking about writing a book about the unsung heroes, the infantry of the football wars, the players who almost never score a touchdown or catch a pass, but have, personal wars with the players in front of them every play of the game.…

English words for the signs, sometimes called Glosses, are the eight hundred and fifty words in the C. K. Ogden Basic English Word list. These words, extracted from everyday speech by Linguists, are said to be able to do the work of 20,000 English words, when every meaning of each word, or gloss, is considered.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The most cherished memories of my childhood were formed in the Northern Kingdom of New York at the Haystack Mountain and Bear Paw hunting Camps. Unfortunately, many of the men who were instrumental in making these memories have either passed away or have aged beyond their ability to pass on their legacy. Many younger men who would traditionally take their father's place have been trapped on the treadmill of 'modern life' without the time, patience, or social support to make their own memories. This book is about the people and events that contributed to my gradual development from a boy to a man. The recording of these stories is important because the opportunities for boys to learn to become men are slowly being eroded by efforts to implement a 'gender neutral' society. The prevailing attitude of the self-appointed arbitrators of 'rights' and 'victimization' is that all-male anything is dangerous and should be abolished, controlled, or mitigated by coeducation. My hope is that this book will inspire a revival of camp life in the Northern Kingdom or, at the least, be a record of what it was like to be a member of a group of men before our modern-day culture discovered them and extinguished their existence.…
