The Baseball Book of Why
Why do we sometimes refer to a left-handed pitcher as a "southpaw?" Why are major league pitchers normally limited to 100 pitches per game? Why was Jack Roosevelt Robinson the first African-American ever to play as part of an official lineup for a team in Major League Baseball? Why is a baseball field sometimes referred to as a diamond? This book provides over 100 questions and detailed answers concerning the traditions, rules, and history of the national pastime. Organized by the sport's five eras--Dead Ball, Live Ball, Golden Age, Expansion, and Steroid Era--it answers questions about hitting, pitching, fielding, base running, managing, scouting and ownership that vex even the most ardent fans of the game. Moreover, this book is an appreciation of how baseball's traditions began.

Solar That Really Works!
Solar is a subject that increasingly interests, yet one about which competent independent advice is difficult to obtain.Collyn Rivers totally revised new edition of his earlier and separate caravan and motorhome editions of Solar That Really Works! fills a previously all but unexplored need. In one tightly written book, Collyn covers all that is needed to design and install solar electrical systems in anything from a tiny caravan or campervan to a large fishing lodge. Along the way it takes in the specialised needs of big converted coaches and the increasingly accepted fifth-wheeler caravans.Solar That Really Works! covers just what can and cannot realistically be run from a typical solar installation. It shows how to calculate the energy required, shows simple ways of finding out the most probable solar energy available anywhere and anytime in Australia and New Zealand. It shows also how much solar panels really do produce.The book also includes full and often illustrated instructions on how to install systems and their various components.As with Collyn's books generally, the writer leaves nothing that the reader is expected to take on trust. He not only explains, in simple English, the 'how' of things, he also explains the 'whys'. Here, for the first time for many people (including equipment vendors) is why a solar panel typically produces only 70% of what it says on the box. And why this one especially catches out even science teachers.Solar That Really Works! also introduces the author's totally new approach to choosing the correct cable size without the need for often misleading and complex wire tables.
Caravan & Motorhome Electrics
Caravan & Motorhome Electrics is the totally rewritten successor of the original globally selling Motorhome Electrics. The book's content now also covers every aspect of designing, installing and fault finding of the electrics in fifth wheel and conventional caravans and camper trailers.The book explains how things work, and what they do (not what vendors claim they do). It shows how to dramatically improve charging performance, successfully install solar, and reduce energy draw of electric (especially) three-way fridges.Essentially it provides solutions proven to work, not suggestions that may work.The author shows how the ongoing move fully voltage controlled alternators necessitates dc-dc alternator charging. And that, post 2016, regulations are likely to limit or even preclude alternator charging with new vehicles. It covers the solutions in depth: i.e. solar, plus fuel cell's 24/7 power generation (light and compact yet silent and non-polluting (and now existing in LPG form), needing only a small battery for peak loads.As with all Collyn's books, the content is thoroughly researched, technically accurate, yet in plain English, plus explanatory illustrations, many of the author's own vehicles.The author's background includes automobile research, electronics and large scale magazine publishing (including founding the world's largest electronics magazine). He was technical editor of Australia's The Bulletin magazine in the 1980s - and has supplied Tech Notes to The Wanderer for a now 14 years.
Zane Grey on Fishing
Though he made his name and his fortune as an author of Western novels, Zane Grey's best writing has to do with fishing. There he was free from the conventions of the Western genre and the expectations of the market, and he was able to blend his talent for narrative with his keen eye for detail and humor, much of it self-deprecating, into books and articles that are both informative and exciting. His first published fishing article appeared in 1902, and he continued to write books and articles on angling until his death in 1939. From the trout streams and bass rivers of the East to the steelhead rivers of the Northwest; from the offshore angling of Nova Scotia and California to the unexplored waters of New Zealand and the South Sea islands, Grey was constantly in motion, sometimes fishing three hundred days a year, always writing to support his passion. At one time or another he held more than a dozen saltwater records, yet he always returned from the big game to the freshwater streams he had learned to love as a boy. This book is a selection of some of Grey's best work, and the stories and excerpts reveal a man who understood that angling is more than an activity-it is a way of seeing, a way of being more fully a part of the natural world. No writer exceeds Zane Grey's ability to integrate the fishing experience with a world he saw so vividly.

Call of the Mountain
Have you ever thought about disappearing into the wild? Follow the tracks of author and adventurer Sam Ainsworth on his journey deep into the harsh reality of survival. Spending his life savings on a remote piece of land in Canada, the author confronts hungry bears, giant moose and extreme isolation. Alone in the forested mountains of Cape Breton, Sam attempts to build a wilderness cabin before the deadly cold of winter freezes the land. Call of the Mountain is a magnificent ode to the natural world, a thrilling story of resilience and a journey of a man searching for meaning. Sam writes beautifully about the struggles of the road less travelled and how we are all shaped by our aspirations and dreams. If you enjoyed Into the Wild, you will love this book! Excerpt from Chapter 7 "This was different. I was not camping for a night or two. This was my home. This was my kitchen, dining room and living room. My whole living zone had crumbs and faint traces of food everywhere. The last months of living, outdoor cooking, dishes and compost had created a buffet of smells that were going to be irresistible to Bobo. Also, he had already eaten my butter and eggs and would associate my camp with lip-smacking treats. I needed all the fuel I could eat to continue the hard physical work to build my home. Between cutting wood, building, hauling water, cooking, cleaning, and getting supplies I could not afford to pack up my whole kitchen and food three times a day. Good warm food was also the highlight of my long days. I cooked a meagre supper as night fell and the reaper held dominion over the valley. A large branch snapped out in the darkness. The entrails of clouds had cleared and a scarlet crescent moon hung over the western valley. I threw a rope over a branch of a maple and hoisted a pillowcase of dry goods and my food bucket high into the night sky. I washed my whole cooking area down with hot soapy water. I heard noises in the dark and knew Bobo was out there somewhere. I began preparing to defend myself and my home. I sharpened my long spear of rock maple and practiced throwing it a dozen times. I placed five solid heavy rounds of golden firewood, that I could grasp firmly with my hand, inside my half repaired tent. I put five more outside the door. This was going to be a very primitive defence. I was preparing for a battle I knew was coming."

Crazy Fourth
In 1912 boxing was as popular a spectator sport in the United States as baseball, if not more so. It was also rife with corruption and surrounded by gambling, drinking, and prostitution, so much so that many cities and states passed laws to control it. But not in New Mexico. It was the perfect venue for one of the biggest, loudest, most rambunctious heavyweight championship bouts ever seen. In Crazy Fourth Toby Smith tells the story of how the African American boxer Jack Johnson--the bombastic and larger-than-life reigning world heavyweight champion--met Jim Flynn on the Fourth of July in Las Vegas, New Mexico. The civic boosters, bursting with pride in their town, raised a hundred thousand dollars for the fight, pushing events like the sinking of the Titanic to the back pages of every newspaper. In the end, once the dust finally settled on the whole unseemly spectacle, Las Vegas would spend the next generation making good on its losses.

Team Brand Communities. Potentials and Pitfalls of the Brand Community Concept in the Inte
Diploma Thesis from the year 2010 in the subject Health - Sport - Sport Economics, Sport Management, grade: 1,3, University of Bath, language: English, abstract: The aim of this thesis is to transfer Muniz/O'Guinn's brand community concept to the sports market. Looking at the previous conception and definition of brand communities, those communities around the brands of sports organisations appear to be an ideal example. Hardly any other industry arouses so much interest and is of such great importance in the everyday life of customers with regard to the product or service and creates a more solid basis for social identification, interaction and emotional bonding than sports. The research question can be formulated as follows: To what extent can the concept of brand community be applied to sports brands and their surrounding community? What are the opportunities and risks of applying and adapting the concept to the sports industry for sports brand management? After a detailed theoretical derivation of the term "brand community" with reference to the concepts from marketing (branding) and sociology (consumer community) that constitute it, this work transfers the concept to the specificities of the sports market. Scientific studies on the management of sports brands as well as on community fan behaviour and sports consumption will be used. In a critical appraisal, the advantages and disadvantages of the brand community concept are evaluated and corresponding opportunities and risks for the use in the management sports brands. It is a choice between increased customer loyalty, enlarged brand value and efficient marketing on the one hand and counterproductive consumer behaviour, reduced brand value and uncontrollable marketing on the other hand. In the end, this work comes after a detailed exploratory research to the conclusion that the Brand Community concept has great potential for the management of the brands of sports organisations. Although there are other resea

Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2016 im Fachbereich Gesundheit - Sport - Sport繹konomie, Sportmanagement, Note: 1,3, Leuphana Universit瓣t L羹neburg, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die Bachelorarbeit zeigt die Abh瓣ngigkeit zwischen dem Erfolg im Sport und der wirtschaftlichen Kraft eines Vereins auf. So zeigten sich in den vergangen Jahren vornehmlich die gleichen Fu?ballunternehmen der Premiere League, Bundesliga, Primera Division oder der italienischen Serie A mit einem festgesetzten Erfolgsanspruch in den nationalen und internationalen Wettbewerben. Denn sportliche Erfolge 繹ffnen den Vereinen T羹ren wie neue Investitionen zum Beispiel in Spielertransfers. Dementsprechend haben auch die Unternehmen das wirtschaftliche Potenzial des Sports, insbesondere des Profifu?balls, erkannt. Somit hat sich der Profifu?ball nicht nur als ein sportliches Ph瓣nomen in Deutschland und weit dar羹ber hinaus etabliert. Neben der enormen Beliebtheit und dem hohen Stellenwert, den der Fu?ball in der Gesellschaft genie?t, erweist sich der Profifu?ball als ein 羹beraus lukratives Gesch瓣ft f羹r viele Unternehmen und Unternehmer. Er fungiert als Arbeitgeber, Existenzgrundlage und Einnahmequelle.

Sports Afield’s Deer Hunter’s Almanac
"No other deer hunting book like it. The Deer Hunter's Almanac is the ultimate guide to hunting deer across North America." -Peter Fiduccia, author of Whitetail Strategies "There is not a successful deer hunter in the world who has not come up with his own peculiar methods -- some of them secret, some not -- for beating the long odds of killing a deer. In this book we have tried to compile some of the best information and most interesting pieces written about deer in Sports Afield since the magazine was founded in 1887. There were not as many deer to hunt back then, but over the last quarter century deer populations have boomed in nearly every state but Alaska and Hawaii, and so have the articles written about them. Many of these pieces originally appeared in the Sports Afield Almanac, which was introduced by Editor Ted Kesting in 1972; others appeared as departments or short features. All told, more than 250 deer hunters contributed, making this, we hope, a very unique look at what is now America's favorite game animal. Some of the contributors-like Dwight Schuh and Peter Fiduccia, Tom McIntyre and Ted Kerasote-are what we would call pros. They have hunted, studied and written about deer all their lives. Others are just guys who wanted to share a couple of their best deer-hunting secrets. Do not be surprised if you turn up some contradictory views. There's more than one way to shoot, skin, and cook a deer; but it may be that the best way of all is the one you have to figure out on your own." "This is the finest book on whitetail hunting that I have seen." -- Larry Myhre, Sioux City Journal

Mindfulness in the Work PlaceWhich Effects Do Mindfulness-based Interventions Have in the
Seminar paper from the year 2019 in the subject Sport - Sport Economics, Sport Management, grade: 1,7, Sport Academy Cologne, language: English, abstract: This work provides an overview of the practice of mindfulness with an emphasis on incorporating this valuable skill in the business context, helping employees to reduce stress as well as to promote health and well being. Conscious attention to the present moment in a receptive way is known as mindfulness. A growing body of research indicates that mindfulness can be taught and cultivated to improve physical and mental health, which can also be promising in the business or economical context. Still there is the need for further research in that area. Additionally, the use of the practice of mindfulness in businesses may lead to the misuse of the technique for gain and profit, rather than for it's original purpose - to create well-being and mental health. Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction offers a program, which is adapted to today's requirements, to reduce stress and to facilitate mental health and well being. Especially in the corporate world, there is a vast potential of improvement, regarding the often times high demands of the jobs. MBSR programs can be integrated in business on a regular basis or on a retreat basis, which can advance the atmosphere and the productivity. Additionally there is a great possibility of a lower rate of sick employees. Globalization, capitalism, quickly changing working environments, instability and newer and easier ways of communication have profoundly changed the way of the working world and society. Changes in working environments have always had an impact on individuals, but todays needs of adaption on the quickly moving business world result more frequently in mental stress. Even "healthy" employees feel this constant pressure and start losing their enjoyment with their profession. Thanks to Jon Kabat-Zinn, who started in the mid 1970's with the development and implementati

Paths Less Traveled takes the reader along trails - and sometimes off-trail - far and wide across the Lakes Region, the White Mountains, and the lonesome North Country. Within these pages you'll find vivid narratives of treks to peaks, ponds, waterfalls, old logging railroad grades, abandoned villages, big trees, little-known conservation lands, and many other interesting destinations. The trips range from family-friendly strolls to epic bushwhacks and daunting rock scrambles. Along the way the author provides a generous helping of local historical lore. Also included are useful tips on safe hiking in summer and winter, leave no trace principles, senior fitness, and a canine perspective from Reuben, the author's faithful trail companion. Paths Less Traveled will be a treasured addition to any New Hampshire hiker's bookshelf. Steven D. Smith, Co-Editor of the AMC White Mountain Guide Paths Less Traveled describes several trails in Meredith complete with details on how to find them and what to expect when I get there.

Uphill, Against the Wind
We were seeing France as few tourists see it, from the back roads and in the small villages which only French tourists see, if tourists see it at all. No trains stop in these villages, but we'd see occasional bus stops. We rode through villages in which no tourist car ever stops, only weary bicyclists. We were living for a few hours or a few days in villages with no Eiffel Tower, no Louvre, no attractions at all except the French themselves and their way of life. No one spoke English, not the waiters, nor the bartenders, nor the folks we met at the campgrounds. We didn't quite realize we were having an experience few will ever have and fewer still will attempt. To phrase it another way, we were tourists spending little or nothing on transportation, gasoline, lodging, guides and museums. We were spending most of our time pedaling along country roads lined with vineyards, out in the sunshine or rain, and spending our money eating in small restaurants where no Americans ever eat and sitting in sidewalk caf矇s drinking local wines and watching the daily life of the real France.
Effekte von Sportgro?veranstaltungen am Beispiel der Fu?ball WM 2014 in BrasilienWas sind
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2019 im Fachbereich Sport - Sport繹konomie, Sportmanagement, Note: 2,0, SRH Fernhochschule, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Der Inbegriff einer Sportgro?veranstaltung sind die olympischen Spiele, egal ob Sommer - oder Winterspiele. Deutschland hatte die M繹glichkeit die Winterspiele 2022 nach M羹nchen und/ oder die Sommerspiele 2024 nach Hamburg zu holen. Beide Male scheiterte dieses Vorhaben jedoch schon im Voraus an Referenden und Volksabstimmungen. Die Fu?ball Europameisterschaft im Jahr 2024 hingegen wird in Deutschland stattfinden. Es gibt eigentlich kaum ein Ereignis, das ein Land besser nach au?en als auch nach innen pr瓣sentieren kann, wie eine Sportgro?veranstaltung. Die FIFA Fu?ballweltmeisterschaft 2006 in Deutschland ist der beste Beleg daf羹r. Das internationale Ansehen sowohl der Nation als auch der Bev繹lkerung hatte sich nach dem Turnier nachhaltig verbessert. Die Frage, die sich nun stellt, ist: ist es etwa nicht gro?artig, eine Sportgro?veranstaltung im eigenen Land zu haben bzw. generell eine Sportgro?veranstaltung auszurichten? Ziel dieser Hausarbeit soll es sein, die Auswirkungen von Sportgro?veranstaltungen zu identifizieren, sowie des Weiteren die Bedingungen darzulegen, unter denen diese in Deutschland Zuspruch finden. Dadurch sollte oben genannte Situation ersichtlich werden und die Frage beantwortet werden k繹nnen. Erster Schritt wird es sein die Effekte von Sportgro?veranstaltungen im Allgemeinen darzulegen. Anschlie?end sollen anhand eines Beispiels einer Gro?veranstaltung, die kurzfristigen und langfristigen Auswirkungen auf die entsprechenden Anspruchsgruppen dargestellt werden. Zu den Anspruchsgruppen geh繹ren etwa die Stadt, Unternehmen oder die Bev繹lkerung. In einem n瓣chsten Schritt soll das Augenmerk auf Sportgro?veranstaltungen in Deutschland gelegt werden. Hierbei werden die Bedingungen untersucht, die daf羹r verantwortlich sind, dass eine solche Veranstaltung Zuspruch in der Bev繹lkerung erh瓣lt, sowie die Gr羹nde,

Projektarbeit aus dem Jahr 2019 im Fachbereich Gesundheit - Sport - Sport繹konomie, Sportmanagement, Note: 1,4, Deutsche Hochschule f羹r Pr瓣vention und Gesundheitsmanagement GmbH, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Diese Arbeit stellt die Erfolgsfaktoren f羹r die Gr羹ndung eines Unternehmens vor. Als "task force" von Sport繹konomen, welche Unternehmensberatung f羹r verschiedene Institutionen in Deutschland anbieten, muss die eigene Ausgangssituation herausgearbeitet werden. Daf羹r werden zu Beginn ein geeigneter Standort sowie die Unternehmensform ausgew瓣hlt und argumentativ begr羹ndet. Die Corporate Identity ist die Selbstdarstellung und Verhaltensweise eines Unternehmens, welche sowohl strategisch geplant als auch operativ eingesetzt wird. Um sich als Team weiterzuentwickeln, bedarf es eines aktiven Gruppenprozesses, welcher eine selbstst瓣ndige Entwicklung der Teammitglieder voraussetzt. F羹r diesen Entwicklungsprozess werden die individuellen St瓣rken und Schw瓣chen sowie die Pers繹nlichkeitsstruktur der Teammitglieder und au?erdem die Gruppendynamik, die Aufgabenstellung und die vielf瓣ltigen Rahmenbedingungen des Teams einbezogen.
Erfassung der Mitarbeitermotivation und Ableitung geeigneter Ma?nahmen zu ihrem Erhalt bzw
Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2018 im Fachbereich Gesundheit - Sport - Sport繹konomie, Sportmanagement, Note: 1,3, Deutsche Hochschule f羹r Pr瓣vention und Gesundheitsmanagement GmbH, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Um im internationalen Wettbewerb bestehen zu k繹nnen, sind Unternehmen heutzutage mehr und mehr darauf bedacht zu expandieren, die Qualit瓣t ihrer Produkte und Dienstleistungen stetig zu verbessern und Arbeitsabl瓣ufe noch effektiver und effizienter zu gestalten, um sich als attraktiver Arbeitgeber am Markt zu positionieren. Dabei werden aber nicht selten die sogenannten weichen Faktoren vernachl瓣ssigt: Unternehmen brauchen engagierte Mitarbeiter, welche sich voll und ganz an ihrem Arbeitsplatz einbringen und sich mit dem Unternehmen und seinen Werten identifizieren (Gallup, 2016). Zahlreiche Studien konnten zeigen, dass motivierte Mitarbeiter einen wichtigen Faktor f羹r den Erfolg eines Unternehmens darstellen (z. B. Gallup, 2016), d. h. ein motivierter Mitarbeiter ist f羹r das Wachstum eines Unternehmens entscheidend und letztendlich wettbewerbssichernd. Insbesondere bei personenbezogenen Dienstleistungen, wie beispielsweise in der Fitness- oder auch Gesundheitsbranche, sollte der Mitarbeiter im Vordergrund stehen, wenn es um Umsatzsteigerung bzw. Gewinnmaximierung geht, denn in keiner anderen Branche wird die Zufriedenheit des Kunden mit dem Produkt 羹ber einen so intensiven Kontakt mit dem Mitarbeiter erreicht. Doch was genau motiviert einen Mitarbeiter? Welche Bedingungen muss ein Unternehmen schaffen, um engagierte Mitarbeiter zu erhalten? Um eine Unternehmenskultur aufzubauen, welche sich erhaltend und f繹rdernd auf die Mitarbeitermotivation auswirkt, ist es von entscheidender Bedeutung diese zu messen und zu managen (Gallup, 2016). Gerade in der Dienstleistung ist es unumstritten, dass ein expandierendes Unternehmen zufriedene und motivierte Mitarbeiter braucht. In dieser Branche geht es darum, dass Menschen anderen Menschen etwas verkaufen k繹nnen. Wenn Mitarbe

Einsendeaufgabe aus dem Jahr 2018 im Fachbereich Gesundheit - Sport - Sport繹konomie, Sportmanagement, Note: 1,7, Deutsche Hochschule f羹r Pr瓣vention und Gesundheitsmanagement GmbH, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In dieser Arbeit werden Trainingspl瓣ne f羹r das Beweglichkeits- und Koordinationstraining einer Testperson erstellt. Die Testperson ist auf Grund ihres jungen Alters und dem sehr guten allgemeinen Gesundheitszustandes als uneingeschr瓣nkt belastbar einzustufen. Durch keine sonstigen gesundheitlichen Einschr瓣nkungen und einer fortgeschrittenen Leistungsstufe im Bereich Fitness, sowie der fr羹heren Aktivit瓣t Tanzen auf fortgeschrittener Leistungsstufe wei?t die Probandin eine sehr gute Trainierbarkeit auf.

Hierf羹r werden der Unternehmenstyp, der Standort, die Marktgebiete, eine Makroumfeldanalyse sowie eine Wettbewerbsanalyse thematisiert. Des Weiteren geht der Autor auf die Budgetplanung, die Kommunikationspolitik und die Werbeplanung ein. Abschlie?end wird eine Kostenkalkulation durchgef羹hrt und Synergieeffekte im Rahmen der Kommunikationspolitik aufgef羹hrt.
Die Relevanz des Social-Media-Auftritts f羹r die Markenst瓣rke von Profifu?ballernDieRelevan
Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2019 im Fachbereich Gesundheit - Sport - Sport繹konomie, Sportmanagement, Note: 2,0, IST-Hochschule f羹r Management, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die vorliegende Arbeit entstammt der Disziplin des Sportmarketings. Genau wie der Sport selbst hat sich auch das Sportmarketing st瓣ndig weiterentwickelt. Aktuelle Entwicklungstendenzen streifen die Themen Internationalisierung, Fanbindung sowie Emotionalisierung und Markenbildung. Letztgenannte werden im Fokus der Untersuchung stehen. Fu?ballvereine vermarkten sich gezielt als Marke, um das wirtschaftliche Potenzial bestm繹glich auszusch繹pfen. Dabei hat sich gezeigt, dass sich auch f羹r die Fu?ballspieler neue M繹glichkeiten ergeben, ein gewisses 繹konomisches Potenzial zu entwickeln und zu nutzen. Einige sind in Werbespots als Partner anderer Unternehmen zu sehen, andere bringen Produkte unter ihrem Namen auf den Markt. Oder man denke eher klassisch an den Verkauf von Trikots, die mit dem jeweiligen Spielernamen beflockt sind. Gerade vor dem Hintergrund einer nicht ewig dauernden Spielerkarriere, sind dies Bem羹hungen, um sich unabh瓣ngiger vom Sport - auch vom sportlichen Erfolg oder Misserfolg - zu machen. Der Erfolg beziehungsweise die Bedeutung dieser Marken f瓣llt wie auch bei Produktmarken sehr unterschiedlich aus. Es gibt Spielermarken, die h繹her oder lukrativer einzusch瓣tzen sind als andere, weshalb der Markenwert einer der Kernbegriffe dieser Arbeit sein wird. Wie bereits erw瓣hnt, wollen sich Spielermarken der ?ffentlichkeit pr瓣sentieren. Neben den klassischen Medien eignen sich hierf羹r heutzutage vor allem die sozialen Medien (social media), die ganz neue M繹glichkeiten f羹r die Darstellung nach au?en erm繹glicht haben und den anderen Kernbegriff der Arbeit darstellen soll. Fu?ballspieler wollen sich eine Fanbasis schaffen und mit den Fu?ballbegeisterten kommunizieren. Entscheidend ist nicht zwingend wieviele Follower derjenige generieren kann, sondern die Qualit瓣t der Social-Media-Auftritte. Un
