Managing the beast-fights at the Colosseum was never going to be an easy job, but this time MARCUS had really made his Emperor angry. To make up for his latest blunder, he would have to hunt down the fabled crocodilopard - half leopard half crocodile - and bring it back to exhibit in Rome.Accompanied by DIDIUS SENECA, a scholarly but scatter-brained senator, and BRUTUS, a bullying, blustering centurion, Marcus must journey to the headwaters of the Nile in search of his quarry, said to be found only in a lost jungle valley infested with giant saurians.It seems impossible. He doesn't even know if the creature truly exists. But the Emperor holds his wife and son hostage, and he will have them executed if Marcus doesn't succeed... "GLADIATOR meets THE VALLEY OF GWANGI..." David Christopher, former editor of Schlock Webzine (www.schlock.co.uk)

Mexican American Fastpitch

Mexican American Fastpitch

Ben Chappell

Stanford University Press
2021
sidottu
In Mexican American communities in the central United States, the modern tradition of playing fastpitch softball has been passed from generation to generation. This ethnic sporting practice is kept alive through annual tournaments, the longest-running of which were founded in the 1940s, when softball was a ubiquitous form of recreation, and the so-called "Mexican American generation" born to immigrant parents was coming of age. Carrying on with fastpitch into the second or third generation of players even as wider interest in the sport has waned, these historically Mexican American tournaments now function as reunions that allow people to maintain ties to a shared past, and to remember the decades of segregation when Mexican Americans' citizenship was unfairly questioned. In this multi-sited ethnography, Ben Chappell conveys the importance of fastpitch in the ordinary yearly life of Mexican American communities from Kansas City to Houston. Traveling to tournaments, he interviews players and fans, strikes up conversations in the bleachers, takes in the atmosphere in the heat of competition, and combs through local and personal archives. Recognizing fastpitch as a practice of cultural citizenship, Chappell situates the sport within a history marked by migration, marginalization, solidarity, and struggle, through which Mexican Americans have navigated complex negotiations of cultural, national, and local identities.

Confessions of a Catholic Re-tread: A Journey In Faith

Confessions of a Catholic Re-tread: A Journey In Faith

Stephan Chappell

From anti-Christian to the confessional. This is the story of a common man's conversion. I've been told the teaching potential of this book really applies to people with one foot in, or one foot out of the Catholic faith. I felt it was a calling to write this book. People come to me and say things like, "you have a way of simplifying the faith so I can understand it." To which I just blush a bit and thank God for the grace to share my trials and survival. This is a book people tend to read and immediately feel they know someone who should hear this message.

(NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK) TIMES BOOK REVIEW: "Mr. Chapple has surely found what we all look for: the great good place, where there are good people, constancy...a sense of belonging and a natural beauty still unspoiled. At least this is Montana as Mr. Chapple has rediscovered it for himself, and in Kayaking the Full Moon he gathers evidence to make it ring true."After living in San Francisco and becoming fed up with urban life like so many Americans, Steve Chapple and his family decided to return to his native Montana and kayak the length of the Yellowstone River, the longest unspoiled and undammed river in the continental United States. The tale of a journey of discovery, Kayaking the Full Moon evokes the dangers and beauty of a wild landscape, Montana's diverse--and sometimes quirky--human inhabitants, and the power and wonder that one family experiences.WASHINGTON POST BOOK WORLD--"A graceful writer with a journalist's sharp eye and a heart as big as his subject Chapple...makes a fine traveling companion....Anyone who has ever been fortunate enough to lose himself in Montana's vastness will feel instantly at home between this book's covers"--HAMPTON SIDESJOE KANE, author of Running the Amazon: "A book for every one of us who...dreams of gathering up the kids and striking out for the Last Good Place."DAVID BROWER, Former Executive Director, the SIERRA CLUB: "A moving tribute to the legacy of wildness in the West."TOM MCGUANE, author of CROW FAIR, THE SPORTING CLUB: "A sensitive and sensible book in search of Montana's calico soul."BOOKLIST: "Chapple hoped for an adventure and a homecoming when he embarked on his journey. He got both, and readers will enjoy savoring the experience."

PUBLISHER'S WEEKLY: Who says parenting has to be serious? Here Chapple ( Rock 'n' Roll Is Here to Pay, Kayaking the Full Moon ) takes a humorous look at the joys, trials and tribulations of dealing with an infant. Mr. Baby, of course, is more sophisticated than grownups give him credit for. He has his own opinions on everything discussed by his smitten new dad and does not hesitate to state them in a cryptic running commentary. Some of the topics covered in these conversations are lack of sleep (Mom calls the first few post-birth weeks the "Zombie Express"), naming Mr. Baby ("not Odin. Please ") and the three things that define older babies: peekaboo, cuteness and belly button curiosity. A list of "Shamelessly Sentimental Things That Make It All Worthwhile" wraps up the book, which gains added charm. . . . Irreverent and outspoken. . . this chipper account will please new and expectant parents who need a few laughs."A humorous look at a baby's first twenty-four months and the emotional wear and tear his growth has on young parents. Stops at each checkpoint of the child's development, from his first public breast-feeding to his first steps.
