The First English Version of the Bible ever printed, this epoch-making work by William Tyndale and Miles Coverdale is presented for the first time complete in one volume in Modern Spelling. The TC translation is the foundation and true source of the celebrated King James Version. But where the KJV freely modifies the text, so that God's Word might better conform to "ecclesiastical traditions," the TC presents the Scriptures as they were delivered: without modification, ammendment, or compromise. This deluxe printed edition of the "MSTC" is illuminated with over 150 engravings and extensive helps, including Biographical Notes and Essays, Holy Land Maps, and a Concise Concordance.

Sports became a national obsession in the 1960s as people tuned in on their new televisions to watch the exploits of some of the most legendary athletes and teams in history. It was the decade of Mickey Mantle, Jim Brown, Wilt Chamberlain, Bobby Orr, and Muhammad Ali, the decade when Roger Maris broke Babe Ruth's home run record, when Joe Namath delivered his Super Bowl guarantee, and when Texas Western defeated the University of Kentucky. In The 1960s in Sports: A Decade of Change, Miles Coverdale looks back at what was arguably the greatest decade in sports history, when the sports world of today began to take shape during a very tumultuous period of American history. At the start of the decade, thirteen years after Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in baseball, the rosters were still populated mostly by white Americans. The NFL and NBA were struggling financially and were much less popular than college football and basketball. The Olympics were still open only to amateur athletes. But the sports landscape changed dramatically in the 1960s. Coverdale traces this development by covering the significant events and iconic players of the decade, including stars such as Willie Mays, Johnny Unitas, Bill Russell, and Jack Nicklaus. There were great teams and incredible rivalries, and professional and college sports alike expanded and thrived. Featuring over 70 photos of legendary athletes and memorable moments, The 1960s in Sports transports the reader back to a golden age in sports. With additional coverage of important historical events such as the Cold War, Vietnam, and the Civil Rights Movement, this book also reveals how social and political events impacted the sports world, making it an invaluable resource for anyone interested in this significant decade.

Called the ""Chairman of the Board"" because of his remarkable control in big-money games, Eddie ""Whitey"" Ford still holds the record for World Series wins (10), and was Casey Stengel's ace during much of the Yankees' historic mid-century pennant streak. Off the mound, Whitey's carousing with Mickey Mantle was legendary, and he, in many ways, symbolizes the excesses and good fortunes of the Yankees during that era - living hard and winning often. This book delves into the life and baseball career of Whitey Ford, the Hall of Fame left-hander who helped the Yankees win 11 pennants and six world championships. After a childhood in the New York sandlots, he quickly worked his way through the Yankees farm system and, when called up in 1950, won nine straight in a pennant race and then won the final game of the World Series sweep of the Phillies. He would go on to pitch for 16 seasons - all of them with New York - and retire as the winningest pitcher in franchise history. His story is detailed here with a generous helping of play-by-play action and personal anecdotes. Seven appendices offer Ford's career statistics and compare him to other great pitchers, past and present.
