Forging the Triple Crown
Horse racing's Triple Crown, much like the World Series, Indianapolis 500, and the Super Bowl, stands as one of the pinnacle achievements of American sports. Its iconic status emerged from the interweaving of three distinct races held across different states--a feat that reflects decades of human effort and equine prowess. While track operators, racing writers, owners, and trainers all contributed to this evolutionary process, it is the Thoroughbred horses that are the central figures of the event. This book traces the history of the Triple Crown, following the Thoroughbreds from their early days as juveniles and through their three-year-old season, culminating with their later accomplishments as older horses. By examining the challenges faced by each generation of foals, it reveals how the races captured the public's attention and over time morphed into massive events. The intertwined narratives of human contributions and equine accomplishments between 1918 and 1948 illuminate the remarkable evolution of horse racing.

Hearts Adrift
How did I end up falling for the one man I swore to resist?Jorge is the last person I expected to get under my skin. Older, infuriatingly meticulous, and entirely off-limits, he embodies everything I didn't know I needed. From the moment we met, the tension was palpable, like a storm waiting to break. I came to the Bahamas for a change of pace, not to lose myself in a man who turns my world upside down.Working together on daily dives, we're always in each other's orbit-totally forced to be near one another. With every shared glance and unspoken moment beneath the waves, I see his guarded exterior crack, revealing glimpses of a heart that beats in time with the ocean.A shared laugh over a stubborn piece of gear, a sunset that feels like a secret, and the way he looks at me when he thinks I'm not watching-these moments shift everything. What seemed impossible becomes undeniable.But as I fall deeper, the reality of my return ticket looms. Our lives are worlds apart, and the distance feels insurmountable.What happens when the person you vowed to resist becomes the one you can't imagine leaving behind?Would you risk it all for love?

Iaido Sword
A comprehensive guide to the Japanese sword art of iaidoThrough the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, Eastern martial arts-from karate to taekwondo to aikido-have grown dramatically in popularity in the West. Perhaps no other school has the solemn intensity of iaido, the powerful Japanese sword art. Iaido trains disciples above all to attain the state of being present.In his now re-released, fully illustrated Iaido Sword, author Richard Babin, M.D. provides an in-depth, practical guide to the legendary art-in particular, its Muso Shinden Ryu school-for novices and experienced martial artists alike. Babin begins with an exploration of iaido's history and lineage, from its founding in feudal Japan by Hayashizaki Jinsuke Shigenobu (1546-1621) and its origins in the sword arts of kenjutsu and iaijutsu to its more recent innovations following the Meiji Restoration. He proceeds to a detailed description of the practice, covering its etiquette and uniforms, materials, techniques and positions, safety concerns, and much else of the art's kata, or form. While the physical practice of martial arts is generally best learned through hands-on practice and the aid of an experienced instructor, Babin's manual provides an essential reference work for practitioners to consult as they develop their practice.As Babin makes clear, iaido's aims are not merely skill with a katana; within the martial art is a philosophy of discipline, self-defense, and courage that renders its training a means to a focused life.
