First published in 1999. This text examines the impasse in the
development of alternatives to hospitals, drawing on the experience
of both crisis service users and providers, and evidence of the
effectiveness of such services. The book concludes that crisis
services are preferred by users, are usually more cost effective
and often more clinically effective than acute admissions wards. It
offers a number of policy suggestions to advance the role of crisis
services, including monitoring, evaluation and development centres,
or programmes being established on a national basis, and joint
training between crisis service and hospitals.
This title was first published in 2000: August Jaeger was one of
Elgar's most devoted supporters and was the subject of one of
Elgar's most inspired movements, the Nimrod variation. This study
explores the correspondence between Jaeger and the famous English
composer.

Looking back on a memorable career, Darren McCarty recounts his
time as one of the most visible and beloved members of the Detroit
Red Wings as well as his personal struggles with addiction,
finances, and women and his daily battles to overcome them. As a
member of four Red Wings' Stanley Cup-winning teams, McCarty played
the role of enforcer from 1993 to 2004 and returning again in 2008
and 2009. His "Grind Line" with teammates Kris Draper and Kirk
Maltby physically overmatched some of the best offensive lines in
the NHL, but he was more than just a brawler: his 127 career goals
included several of the highlight variety, including an inside-out
move against Philadelphia in the clinching game of the 1997 Stanley
Cup Finals. As colorful a character as any NHL player, he has arms
adorned with tattoos, and he was the lead singer in the hard rock
band Grinder during the offseason. Yet this autobiography details
what may have endeared him most to his fans: the honest, open way
he has dealt with his struggles in life off the ice. Whether
dealing with substance abuse, bankruptcy, divorce, or the death of
his father, Darren McCarty has always seemed to persevere.
An oral history of the Detroit Red Wings, one of the most popular
franchises in the NHL Â The most outstanding voices of the
Detroit Red Wings hockey tradition come together in this
decade-by-decade collection of more than 40 stories. Wings fans
will relish the intimate stories told by Steve Yzerman, Niklas
Lindstrom, Ted Lindsay, and other figures they have come to
cherish. One phrase, one season, or one particular game cannot
capture the spirit of the Red Wings; instead, the players and
managers who made the magic happen over the decades blend their
experiences to capture the true essence of their beloved team.

From being inducted to the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2013, to serving
in an executive role on the Detroit Red Wings, and signing on to

hockey markets in which he has become a beloved figure. From the

shares his achievements on the ice while providing new information
on his life off it to readers, making this autobiography a
must-have not only for Chelios fans, but anyone who loves the game
of hockey.
A compelling autobiography from one of Detroit's favorite sons At
15, Willie Horton received his first contract offer to become a
professional baseball player. At 20, he smacked his first
major-league home run. At 24, Horton stood in full uniform on the
hood of his car, in the midst of burning homes and overturned
vehicles, and pleaded for an end to the violence of the 1967
Detroit riots. In this new autobiography, Horton shares the
fascinating story of his life and career, from growing up in
Detroit's Jeffries Projects as the youngest of 21 children to
winning a World Series with his hometown Tigers in 1968. Horton
also candidly discusses the opposition he faced as a Black player,
his fond memories of Al Kaline, the joy he felt in returning to the
Tigers as a front office executive, and the many ways he still
tries to give back to Detroit and his community. By turns
heartrending and hilarious, this timely chronicle is an essential
contribution to baseball's written history.
Award-winning sports biographer Harvey Rosenfeld takes readers
through Junior's ascent to superstardom. What it was like playing
baseball with a father as his manager and a brother as his
double-play combination? How did his father's firing and his
brother's trade effect him? How does he handle the critism and the
fanaticism generated by The Streak? Photos.

Aspiring historian Maxine is researching Canadian social policy
when she discovers the story of Everett Klippert-the last Canadian
man jailed simply for being gay. Maxine becomes fascinated with
Everett's case and with discovering the man beyond the headlines, a
beloved Calgary bus driver on the downtown route who took care to
brighten the day of his passengers, who played on the family
baseball team and was everyone's favorite uncle, and who, when he
was confronted by police about his sexuality, refused to lie.
Inspired and captivated, Maxine interviews people who knew Everett
Klippert. She connects with a senior at a local assisted living
facility she knows only as Handsome, one of Klippert's lovers and
perhaps the only person who can truly illuminate the past. At the
same time, Maxine is navigating her own new relationship with Metis
comedian Tonya. Legislating Love is a heartwarming play that weaves
together past and present in a multi-generational exploration of
queer love. It tells the near-forgotten story of one of Canada's
quiet heroes and reminds us all that the past must be remembered as
we work together for a better future.
Jeremy Roenick, one of the premier hockey players of his
generation and one of the greatest American stars the NHL has ever
known, shares his life story in this frank and unflinching
autobiography. After making his debut as an 18-year-old with the
Chicago Blackhawks, Roenick thrilled fans with his flashy style,
take-no-prisoners approach, and jaw-dropping skills. A native of
Boston, Roenick went on to play for four more franchises--including
the Philadelphia Flyers and Los Angeles Kings--during his
incredible 18-season career. By the time he was through, Roenick
had racked up 513 goals--the second most of any American-born
player--and 703 assists. Now a tells-it-like-it-is commentator for
NBC and the NHL, Roenick takes readers on a behind-the-scenes,
warts-and-all tour through his illustrious career, both on and off
the ice.
