Since then, it has become a global sport, most notably in China and the Far East.Weaving the big picture with the personal stories of snooker's big characters, from Alex Higgins and Jimmy White to Ronnie O'Sullivan, anyone who has ever wielded a cue or breathlessly watched a marathon safety exchange will love this book.

Backstage Pass
Discover the untold story of the behind-the-scenes genius who revolutionized how professional wrestling was presented on TV, forever changing the way fans experience the action. The world of professional wrestling is paradoxical. Storylines are intricately plotted by creative writers, refined by the agents and the wrestlers the day of the match, and performed live in front of worldwide audiences to evoke drama and emotion. It's scripted: it's "fake." Yet, more often than not, it is the real-life backstage machinations, the behind-the-scenes tales of drama and deceit, of pettiness between allies and adversaries, that feel as though they were actually penned by Hollywood's finest scriptwriters. David Sahadi's Backstage Pass is a firsthand account of what occurs beyond the squared circle -- stories that are often more compelling and dramatic than anything that occurs on TV or inside a ring. These never-before-told stories are glorious, nefarious, and at times truly unbelievable: five-star mega-bouts between the powers that rule, the leaders and decision-makers who are often in agreement (but mostly at odds), and the superstars themselves. This book is a tale of defiance, decadence, and denial -- and you do not have to be a wrestling fan to enjoy it.

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.

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.

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.
