American Rambler
New York Times bestselling author Isaac Fitzgerald sets off to the heart of America, following the path of the legendary Johnny Appleseed on an epic journey that both takes him far from home and brings him closer to it. "It's a difficult thing, to separate legend from story from memory from fact." As a child, Isaac Fitzgerald was always captivated by Johnny Appleseed, drawn by family ties to the legend, his father's larger-than-life stories, and a shared restlessness to leave home and discover what lies beyond. In American Rambler, he sets out, walking from Massachusetts to Indiana on a year-long journey to follow Appleseed's path, turning a childhood fascination into a profound reckoning of loss and grief, ritual and faith, grimy gas-station bathrooms and scenic apple picking. A moving blend of memoir, history, and travelogue, American Rambler is at once an ode to the American heartland and an antidote to the breakneck pace of modern life.
The Long Game
The gripping account of the U.S. men's national soccer team's winding saga from obscurity to the global stage as they stand on the brink of a seminal World Cup in 2026 For almost half a century, the U.S. men's national team existed on the fringes of world soccer--out of sight, out of mind, and, more often than not, out of the World Cup. Between 1950 and 1990, the program toiled in irrelevance, a collection of part-timers playing before empty bleachers. Then, things began to shift, and today's U.S. men's team is loaded with young and pedigreed talent, expected to make its mark at the 2026 World Cup. The story of this team's rise to prominence is a dramatic journey, with setbacks, buffoonery, misunderstandings, glory, and a wide, eccentric, talented cast of characters. With unprecedented access to former and current national team players, coaches, and administrators, Schaerlaeckens traces the sport's evolution in the U.S.--from its outsider status to its modern foothold--and the challenges that have shaped the men's national team along the way. From systemic obstacles in youth development to an American sports culture that expects instant dominance, he explores why success has been elusive, and why that might finally be changing. With insight, wit, and razor-sharp storytelling, The Long Game is an unforgettable look at the past, present, and uncertain future of American soccer-- and the team that could redefine it all.

Fair Play
"An electrifying debut...Through in-depth and compassionate reporting, Barnes breaks down the misunderstood science surrounding sex and gender that has been used to keep cisgender women out of sports and has fueled debate over trans athletes participation in women's sports."--Shannon Carlin, TIMEmagazine, "100 Must-Read Books of 2023" For decades women have been playing competitive sports, thanks in large part to the protective cover of Title IX. Since the passage of that law, the number of women participating in sports and the level of competition in high school and college and professionally, has risen dramatically. In Fair Play, award-winning journalist Katie Barnes traces the evolution of women's sports as a pastime and a political arena where equality and fairness have been fought over for generations. As attitudes toward gender have shifted to embrace more fluidity in recent decades, sex continues to be viewed as a static binary that is easily determined: male or female. It is on the very idea of static sex that we have built an entire sporting apparatus. Now that foundation is being hotly debated as a result of intense culture wars. Many transgender and intersex athletes, including a South African runner, a wrestler in Texas, a Connecticut track star, and a swimmer at the University of Pennsylvania, have captured the attention of law and policymakers who want to decide how and when they compete. Women's sports, since their inception, have been seen as a separate class of competition that requires protection and rules for entry. But what are those rules and who gets to make them? Fair Play looks at all sides of the issue and presents a reasoned and much-needed solution that seeks to preserve opportunities for all going forward.

The Messi Effect
In The Messi Effect, Paul Tenorio, national soccer writer for The Athletic, draws on coveted insider access to bring readers behind the ropes and into the inner sanctum and chronicle the last act of Lionel Messi. In The Messi Effect, Paul Tenorio, national soccer writer for The Athletic, who has spent more than a decade breaking news and providing critical insight into the power and politics of the sport, draws on his numerous high-ranking sources inside Inter Miami, American soccer, and overseas to bring readers behind the scenes and chronicle the last act of Lionel Messi. The Messi Effect takes you inside the locker room as Messi's arrival turned a last-place team into a global phenomenon, and into the Major League Soccer boardroom as league owners debated how to leverage Messi's arrival to shape the future of the league and sport in America. From his cinematic debut goal to his first trophy with Miami and across two more transformative seasons, Messi's impact was immediate and enormous. His pink No. 10 shirt became the world's best-selling jersey, MLS stadiums sold out in city after city, and Inter Miami's valuation soared past $1 billion. This is a book about one man's legacy in a rapidly growing and changing game. It's a story about the business of sport and how a player can be both athlete and economic engine. It's an inside look at how the business of MLS evolved historically and in real time after the legend's arrival. And it's the story of how a GOAT rides off into the sunset, the choices he makes, and the aftereffects of his greatness for future generations
Tiger V. Jack
SI golf writer and author of Tiger & Phil, Bob Harig's Tiger v. Jack, an examination of the greatest argument in golf--who was better--exploring the records, rivalries, statistics, and context of their illustrious careers, including the intangibles that made them both icons.When Jack Nicklaus stunningly won the 1986 Masters for his 18th major championship victory, it was a reminder of the greatness of a golfer who had done so much. The major title - six years after his last - brought into focus again the dominance of his career. At the time, nobody was close to him in major wins, and the idea of anyone getting within miles of Nicklaus' major record, let alone match or overtake him, seemed, frankly, preposterous. And yet, there was a kid who was just 10 years old when Nicklaus won that last major. Tiger Woods was already thinking about Jack. He would put his accomplishments on a wall by age and try to beat those feats. Eventually, he put Nicklaus' 18 major titles in his sights, and for the better part of a decade was on pace to match or exceed the record, a remarkable thought itself. The fact that he came up short doesn't diminish the chase. In Tiger v. Jack, Bob Harig explores and compares the two legends in a lively examination of the greatest argument in golf--who was better, Jack Nicklaus or Tiger Woods--exploring the records, rivalries, statistics, and context of their illustrious careers, including the intangibles that made them both icons. They both had their moments of brilliance and dominance. What we've seen from Nicklaus and Woods is likely to never be duplicated, all the more reason to celebrate it.
Zhang Wenguang's Chaquan
Volume two of Andrea Falk's translation of Zhang Wenguang's book on Chaquan.
The 1980 Moscow Olympics
Although the United States boycotted the 1980 Olympics in Moscow, the Games went on. NBC held the rights to air the Olympics, but the stateside coverage was reduced to mere minutes each day. The Moscow Olympics essentially occurred without anyone in the United States knowing or caring. As a result, the participating countries saw their accomplishments, records, and scores--their entire experience at the Games--forgotten. This history attempts to address this situation, presenting a closer look at the competitions, events, and athletes of the Games, recording each medalist's results. It also tells many untold stories of the Games, including a food fight in the Olympic Village, a pirated TV signal in Florida, the arrest of the rainbow-wigged John 3:16 activist, and the two Jimmy Carters. This book demonstrates that the 1980 Summer Games, despite the U.S. boycott, were truly unforgettable.

How to Watch Soccer Like a Genius
A brilliant and entertaining deconstruction of the most popular sport in the world, just in time for the 2026 World Cup in North America, from the bestselling author of How to Watch Basketball Like a GeniusAfter reading this fun book, you'll never look at soccer the same way again.In How to Watch Soccer Like a Genius, Nick Greene calls on a turf manager, an expert on color theory, and a landscape historian to understand the field itself, a paleoanthropologist to talk kicking, and an Anglican priest to explain schisms--how American football, soccer, and rugby could all develop from the field games of rowdy 19th-century British schoolboys.Greene delves deep into what defines the game, how it developed, and what happens during a match's 90 minutes (and then some). His expert commentators include a domino toppler, a developmental neuroscientist, an art historian, a civil engineer, and more.On the surface, soccer seems like the simplest of games: one ball, two teams, two goals, and (preferably) some grass. There's a reason it's the first team sport little kids learn to play. But the closer you look, the more you dig into the game's history, the more infinitely complex and complex the picture becomes.
Physical Fitness and the Expeditionary Air Force
The Air Force has been constantly evolving. With the many changes and the Expeditionary Air Force structure put in place, it is more important now than ever that the Air Force has a physical fitness program to keep its members healthy and productive. By doing this, it can ensure that the efforts put forth in completing the Air Force mission are successful while keeping the organization at the highest level of readiness possible. This thesis looks at what the Air Force values in having a fitness program. These values are taken from documentation that is the backbone of the Air Force mission. Using these values, fitness programs can be evaluated to determine what kind of program would be best for the Air Force by including as many of the valued characteristics as possible. The results of this study show that programs similar to the Army's fitness program would be best and include most of the desired characteristics. This should be an important consideration when determining what type of fitness program the Air Force needs.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Wallaroo 19
On Friday, 2nd of September, 1994, the Australian Women's Rugby Union Team played in a historic, international women's rugby union Test Match, against the New Zealand Women's Black Ferns at North Sydney Oval, Australia.Libby Andrew was a member of this history-making team. On the 30th anniversary of this milestone, Libby has personally reflected on her own and unofficial rugby journey to share this history of the women's game in Australia and beyond. This includes her participation in not only rugby union but previous to that, years of playing women's rugby league in Canberra, Australia in the early 1990's.
The Boundless Game
A lifelong soccer player and award-winning author shows us how the sport transcends races, ethnicities, cultures, and experiences and brings us all closer together.Tim Bascom spent half his childhood in Kansas and the other half in East Africa. Living and traveling around the world, the game of soccer proved a constant truth. Through storytelling that effortlessly flows between poignant and funny, sobering and charming, Bascom explores why soccer matters so much in our common, everyday lives, and how this ordinary yet extraordinary game can bring us all a little closer together.His passionate vision for this most global game leads Bascom to describe how soccer brought him sanity in the middle of a brutal revolution in Ethiopia and how bridging divisions of race and culture was key to success for teams he joined in Chicago and Kansas. From watching Arsenal's energetic rise in the Premier League to the bravery of a besieged Afghanistan Women's National Team, and from pickup games in the Midwest and the Middle East, Bascom finds universal truths and deeply human meaning in the beautiful game of soccer.

Tenacious and True
An improbable dream fulfilled in one unforgettable seasonIn 2016, a Conway, South Carolina, mid-major baseball team that had once played on borrowed fields and traveled in hand-me-down vans shocked the college baseball world. Veteran head coach Gary Gilmore, who had spent two decades building the program into a national power, led the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers to capture their first College World Series title in dramatic fashion.At the heart of that victory were players like G. K. Young, a Conway native and lightly recruited power hitter, whose towering home run in the deciding game ensured victory and completed Coastal Carolina's improbable run to the top. Alongside teammates like shortstop Michael Paez and ace pitcher Andrew Beckwith, Young embodied the grit and determination that defined Gilmore's program.In Tenacious and True, gifted storyteller Scott Pleasant recounts that unforgettable season, capturing the voices of the players, coaches, and devoted fans who made it happen. He brings readers into the dugout with a tale of persistence, pride, and what it means to belong to a team--and a town.
From Out of the Smokies
Knoxville native Charlie Tombras may be best known for his fifty-seven-year leadership of the nationally recognized advertising firm the Tombras Group, but in his moving memoir, From Out of the Smokies: Stories of Fly Fishing and Life, he chronicles his personal journey, letting business take a backseat. Born and raised in the Smokies, Tombras grew up exploring mountains and streams, fostering an appreciation for nature and fly fishing that would follow him through a tour of duty in Vietnam and into adulthood. With a relatable, often humorous style, Tombras recollects adventures spanning eight decades and the resulting lessons of friendship, loss, and love that he learned along the way. Emphasizing the value of hard work and perseverance, Tombras thoughtfully examines his lifelong love of fly fishing and leaves no stone unturned as he takes readers from childhood to adulthood in vivid memories and captivating prose. From exhilarating tales of white-water canoeing in Northern Labrador to grief-stricken seasons of loss, Tombras's memoir of spirit and adventure provides a nuanced portrait of a successful man--in business and in life. Through his sporting adventures and other personal experiences, Tombras continues to learn how to weather storms in whatever shape they may take and how to grow in the face of adversity. Much like the wild rivers that Tombras explored and loved, From Out of the Smokies will inspire readers to accept and marvel at forces beyond our control.

Changeover
NATIONAL BESTSELLER NAMED A BEST BOOK OF 2025 BY * THE NEW YORKER * NPR * TOWN & COUNTRY * The story of Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner, and their epic rivalry, as told by "the best tennis writer in America" (Brian Phillips, The Ringer). For more than two decades, Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, and Roger Federer dominated men's tennis so thoroughly that it became difficult to imagine how the game would keep its shine once they retired. Then came 2024--the first year since 2002 that none of them won a Grand Slam tournament--and a technicolor future was revealed. The major titles were divided between a pair of prodigies in their early twenties: the effervescent showman Carlos Alcaraz, whose infinite variety of shots won him the French Open and Wimbledon; and the relentlessly cool Jannik Sinner, whose power and precision secured him the Australian Open and US Open even amid a doping controversy. Though other young contenders jostled for the spotlight, and Djokovic tried to hold his ground, the transcendentally gifted Alcaraz and Sinner just kept installing their new regime. "Witty" (The Wall Street Journal), delivering "loads of insight" (The Washington Post), and rooted in a true fan's love of the game, this "scintillating account" (Publishers Weekly) serves as a primer to the rivalry poised to define the next decade of the sport.

So Young, So Great
When Bob Feller hit the Major League Baseball scene, he instantly became one of the most famous athletes in the country. Everything Feller did made headlines, primarily because anything he did had never been done before, especially by someone his age. To this day, Feller is the only pitcher to have signed his first professional contract and played in the Major League while still in high school. By the age of seventeen he had set an American League record for most strikeouts in a game, and by nineteen, he had broken his own Major League strikeout record.So Young, So Great covers the first six years of Feller's career, from 1936 to 1941, from his discovery in the small town of Van Meter, Iowa, as a high school junior, to his immediate entry into the Major Leagues with no minor league detours, the extensive media coverage of his every move and his box office appeal to fans, and his record-breaking feats up to his enlistment into World War II at age twenty-two.Before signing a contract with the Cleveland Indians, Feller was a prospect of such magnitude that Major League scouts were fighting in hotel lobbies to get to Feller, still a minor, to sign a Major League contract. His high school graduation was broadcast nationally on radio. And when he had to have his wisdom teeth removed, a photographer and reporter were in the room to document it.By focusing on the first six years of Feller's career, So Young, So Great captures in revelatory detail Feller's unprecedented arrival, as a high school teenager, on the Big League stage, and his rapid ascension into one of the game's all-time greats.

Vinotinto Venezuela B矇isbol, 1939-2024
Wearing the "Vinotinto," or burgundy red, a symbol of national pride, Venezuelan teams carry the spirit of a nation where passion for sports runs deep. This book chronicles the journey of nearly 500 Venezuelan baseball players from 1939 through 2024 who have reached Major League Baseball. It explores how baseball became a mirror of Venezuelan society, its triumphs, challenges, and evolving identity, through the words of SABR researchers and respected Venezuelan writers. In Venezuela, a country defined by rich natural resources, complex social dynamics, and a vibrant cultural identity, baseball has emerged as both a unifying force and a lasting source of pride. Introduced during the early twentieth century through American influence and fueled by the oil boom, the sport quickly captured the hearts of Venezuelans and became a cultural cornerstone. Passion ignited with legendary figures like Luis Aparicio Ortega, "El Grande de Maracaibo," and was cemented by Venezuela's historic win at the 1941 Amateur Baseball World Series in Havana, Cuba. The journey to Major League Baseball began in 1939 with Alex "Patón" Carrasquel, the first Venezuelan to play in the big leagues. But it was Luis Aparicio Jr., "Little Louie" who blazed a trail as the first Venezuelan inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame, earning his place in 1984 and inspiring generations to dream of the major leagues. With a foreword by Ozzie Guillén-the first Latino manager to win a World Series-and insights from Juan Vené, "The Dean" of Venezuelan baseball journalism, this volume also features editorial contributions from award-winning journalist and producer Leonte Landino. Embracing the collaborative efforts of 35 members of the Society for American Baseball Research, this book is more than a chronicle of achievements-it is a tribute to the enduring legacy, global impact, and unmatched resilience of Venezuelan baseball, infused with nostalgia and tradition that reflect a proud and persevering culture.

The Wandering Pilgrim
Adventurer John Dunlop's first book in the Wandering Pilgrim series gave gripping accounts of his several journeys in the mountains of the Himalayas and New Zealand. In this second volume he turns his attention to escapades closer to home but none the less challenging.Again he brings to the fore the contents of notebooks in which he recorded incidents, thoughts and impressions as he travelled.They provide a unique on-the-spot record of walks undertaken over several decades.

They are a highly personal record, almost chatty and straight to the point. The thoughts and experiences of a young man taking his first tentative steps into the mountains, as well as those of his older and more experienced self in the decades that followed.The reality of the moment leaps off the page, whether it is the joy of scaling the heights in summer sun or being sleep deprived, cold and wet while tent-bound for several days as fierce storms batter his flimsy shelter.The writer shares the joys and disappointments, the setbacks and the triumphs of conquering Tasmania's remotest peaks. And for those who may follow in his footsteps he provides useful lists of equipment and food as well as details of flora and fauna seen along the trailsAs with his first book, these detailed accounts of his adventures provide a unique insight into the hows and whys of those who venture far from the beaten track.It is a captivating read for fellow adventurers and armchair travellers alike, written by a quintessential wanderer, explorer and sometime alpinist who now lives in a solar powered pole house in the tropical rainforest of far north Queensland.

Thank Me Later
Winston Churchill once said "Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts." Are there truer words spoken about the reality of fantasy life? Win or lose, our appetites for torturing ourselves is never ending. We long for it. We crave the pendulum of emotions that it initiates. And we always, always come back for more. This book will make you laugh nervously at the fact that somebody - maybe everybody - is able to provide analytics to your brain, your personality, your strategy and your mistakes. Forget being compared to a Vegas hotel or an 80's tv show like other mock write-ups. This is that lecture, that leather sofa analysis, that brain drilling type of story that is going to make you NOT need fantasy sports counseling anymore. And why not?
