In the winter that followed the 1926 season, baseball became
enveloped in scandal. Two of baseball's biggest stars, Ty Cobb and
Tris Speaker, were accused of fixing and betting on games.
Sportswriters called the scandal worse than that of the infamous
"Black Sox." The reputation of baseball was in tatters. In Baseball
at the Abyss, Dan Taylor reveals the behind-the-scenes story of how
baseball was saved after the banishment of Cobb and Speaker. It was
all set in motion by one unlikely individual-Christy Walsh, the
business manager for Babe Ruth and baseball's first player agent.
Taylor follows Walsh and Ruth as the agent arranges for the Babe to
star in a motion picture and presses for Ruth to hire a fitness
guru, change his habits, and train while in Hollywood. The results
were astonishing. A reinvigorated Babe Ruth enjoyed his greatest
season in 1927, slugging 60 home runs and powering his New York
Yankees to heights never seen before. Baseball at the Abyss
features fascinating details of the 1926 scandal and the incredible
resurgence of the national pastime when it seemed the game was
permanently tarnished. It's the story of a remarkable year in
baseball history and the men who restored glory to a troubled game.
The inspirational story of African American trailblazer Kenny
Washington, the first player to reintegrate the NFL. On September
29, 1946, football star Kenny Washington made history. When he
trotted onto the field for the Los Angeles Rams, Washington broke
the color barrier in the NFL. In Walking Alone: The Untold Journey
of Football Pioneer Kenny Washington, Dan Taylor reveals
Washington's immeasurable impact on his sport and beyond. Legends
of the game hailed Washington as one of the greatest players in
football history. He was also a baseball star, and Taylor recounts
never-before-told details of the efforts to make Washington the
first Black player in big league baseball along with Jackie
Robinson. Taylor also delves into the heinous verbal and physical
abuse Washington was subjected to, his refusal to play in the
South, and how he positively impacted ignorant teammates and rivals
through his character and talent. Throughout the 1930s and 1940s,
there was no more popular athlete in Los Angeles than Kenny
Washington. Walking Alone chronicles for the first time the life
story of this trailblazing football legend.

The Hollywood Stars were the most inventive team in baseball
history, known for their celebrity ownership and movie star
following during the Golden Age of Hollywood. In Lights, Camera,
Fastball: How the Hollywood Stars Changed Baseball, Dan Taylor
delivers a fascinating look at the Hollywood Stars and their
glorious twenty-year run in the Pacific Coast League. Led by Bob
Cobb, owner of the heralded Brown Derby restaurant and known more
famously as the creator of the Cobb salad, the Hollywood Stars took
professional baseball to a new and innovative level. The team
played in short pants, instigated rule changes, employed
cheerleaders and movie-star beauty queens, pioneered baseball on
television, eschewed trains for planes, and offered fans palatable
delicacies not before served at ballparks. On any given night,
Clark Gable, Jimmy Stewart, Barbara Stanwyck, Humphrey Bogart, and
dozens more cheered on their favorite team from the boxes and
grandstands of Gilmore Field. During the Hollywood Stars' history,
its celebrity owners pushed boundaries, challenged existing
baseball norms, infuriated rivals, and produced an imaginative
product, the likes of which the game had never before seen.
Featuring interviews with former players, Lights, Camera, Fastball
is an inside look at a team that was far ahead its time, whose
innovations are still seen in professional baseball today.

. . . perfect for getting even the most reluctant bathers excited
about bathtime! It's time to bathe the dog, but be careful with the
bubble bath . . . Uh oh! Before you know it, the dog's escaped and
there are bubbles everywhere - in the hallway, down the street and
even in the zoo! But who's going to clean up all this mess, and
what will Mum say? Find out in this riotous, rhyming story, which
is great fun to read aloud, from the fabulous new pairing, YouTube
superstar David Gibb, and Dan Taylor, who has written and
illustrated several titles in Campbell's First Stories series,
including Cinderella and Hansel and Gretel.
Global climate change disproportionately affects rural people and
indigenous groups, but their rights, knowledge, and interests
concerning it are generally unacknowledged. Shifts in
precipitation, cloud cover, temperature, and other climatic
patterns alter their livelihood pursuits and cultural landscapes,
accentuating their existing social and economic marginalization.
This book argues that planners and researchers of climate change
mitigation and adaptation must take into account the knowledge and
capacity of rural people, and engage them as active participants in
the design and governance of interventions, not as a matter of
courtesy, but because it is their right. Furthermore, inclusion of
local communities in genuine partnership will likely make climate
change adaptation and mitigation efforts more effective. "Climate
Change and Threatened Communities" presents 15 case studies and a
variety of approaches to document the capacities and constraints to
be encountered among communities facing changing climates in
Bangladesh, Cameroon, Canada, Ecuador, Ethiopia, India, Indonesia,
Italy, Malawi, Mexico, Mozambique, Peru, South Africa, Sudan,
United States, Vietnam, and Zimbabwe. It explores human
interactions in environments ranging from subarctic tundra to
equatorial rain forest, from oceanic lagoons to inland mountains.
Chapters investigate issues such as social vulnerability to
climatic uncertainty, shifts in livelihood practices, local
perceptions of climatic change, and the potential and limitations
of the United Nations Programme on Reducing Emissions from
Deforestation and Forest Degradation in Developing Countries.
Authors consider the potential of archaeology, phenomenology,
controlled comparisons, historical analysis, gender analysis and
other analytical approaches to shed light on the experiences of
communities and their members. This book is important reading for
policy makers, academics, and students in the fields of climate
change adaptation, anthropology and development studies, as well as
more general readers.

Few would dispute the pitching greatness of Sandy Koufax-but was
Paul Pettit better? Jim Baxes was once compared to the great Pie
Traynor yet few baseball fans have ever heard of him. John Elway
was undeniably one of the greatest quarterbacks in pro football
history but could he have been an even better baseball player? For
most fans greatness is measured in trophies and awards and
confirmed by consistency over time. During his 70 years in
baseball, renowned scout George Genovese witnessed some of the most
talented players ever to play the game-some of them unknown to
fans. He recalls the careers of unsung greats like Nestor Chavez,
Matt Harrington and Derek Tatsuno, who never gained immortality
despite unrivaled talent.
Combining careful historical and textual analysis with comparisons
across past and present political theory, this book re-establishes
Spinoza as a collectivist philosopher.Taking as its starting point
the formative role of fear in Spinoza's thought, Dan Taylor argues
that Spinoza's vision of human freedom and power is realised
socially and collectively. He offers a new critical study of the
collectivist Spinoza, where we can become freer through desire,
friendship, the imagination and transforming the social
institutions that structure a given community. A freedom for one
and all, attuned to the vicissitudes of human life and the
capabilities of each one of us to live up to the demands and
constraints of our limited autonomy. This book develops and
enriches the continental tradition of Spinozism, drawing on a range
of untranslated materials and bringing a fresh perspective to key
debates. It repositions Spinoza as the central thinker of desire
and freedom and demonstrates how the conflicts within his work
inform contemporary theoretical discussions around democracy, the
multitude, populism and power.
