The Arena: Inside the Tailgating, Ticket-Scalping, Mascot-Racing, Dubiously Funded, and Possibly Haunted Monuments of American Sport

The American sports stadium, for all its raucous glory, is an overlooked centerpiece--a veritable temple--of our national culture. A hallowed ground for communal worship, this is where history is made on grass, artificial turf, hardwood, and even ice; where nostalgia flows as freely as ten-dollar beers; where everything thrills, from exploding fireworks to grinning cheerleaders. In The Arena, "an altogether new and riveting sports classic" (Josh Wilker), intrepid sportswriter Rafi Kohan crisscrosses the country, journeying from one beloved monument to the next. As he finagles access to the unexpected corners and hidden corridors of our most frequented fields, he discovers just what makes them tick--and what keeps us coming back time and time again.Beginning with the "old-timers," Kohan pays his respects to Chicago's ivy-laced Wrigley and Green Bay's lovable Lambeau, which have creakily adjusted to the twenty-first century while maintaining those age-old quirks fans have prized for generations. Juxtaposing these cherished time capsules with mighty new mammoths like Dallas's shiny AT&T Stadium, Kohan examines the often-punishing realities of how they are built, from architectural ambition to controversial funding and political strong-arming.Meanwhile, just outside the turnstiles of these commercial cathedrals, whole ecosystems flourish, buzzing with charming merch men and cutthroat ticket scalpers. Trips to Cleveland's Progressive Field and Quicken Loans Arena illuminate such shadow economies, revealing the remarkable impact a team--and even just a single player (yes, we're looking at you, LeBron James)--can have on an entire city. With infectious enthusiasm and wit, Kohan also explores the behind-the-scenes logistics and deeply ingrained traditions within these bustling facilities, cracking open a secret world of unforgettable characters--groundskeepers, mascots, halftime performers--who work tirelessly to make the live event worth the price of admission.If you've ever wondered how they coordinate those fighter jet flyovers with the national anthem, how many hot dogs they serve in a day at Citi Field, how boozy pregame tailgates are kept in line, or what on earth AstroTurf is made of, look no further. As rowdy and rollicking as its subject, The Arena is a must-read for diehard fans, shameless bandwagoners, umpires, broadcasters, groundskeepers, culture junkies, tailgaters, and anyone else who's ever eagerly headed off to the ballpark to catch a game.

In this "addictive" (Publishers Weekly) romp, intrepid sportswriter Rafi Kohan finagles access to our most beloved fields to find out just what makes them tick: from old-timer Wrigley, creakily adjusting to the twenty-first century, to the oversized monstrosity of Jerry's World in Dallas. Investigating harrowing logistics and deeply ingrained traditions, Kohan employs his infectious "wit and style" (Christian Science Monitor) to expose the realities of building and maintaining these commercial cathedrals of sports worship. "Highly compelling" (Kirkus Reviews, starred review), The Arena is a must-read for superfans, shameless bandwagoners, athletes, groundskeepers, culture junkies, and anyone who's ever headed off eagerly to the ballpark to catch a game.

**Argentina, 1960. A car speeds through the streets of Buenos Aires. Inside are four Israeli secret agents and their prisoner: one of the most notorious war criminals of Nazi Germany. The Mossad operatives need to get this man, Adolf Eichmann, back to Israel to be tried for his crimes. Holding Eichmann's head in his lap is the leader of this ambitious mission, Rafi Eitan, whom Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu later described as one of the heroes of Israeli intelligence'.** In this fast-paced and detailed memoir, Rafi Eitan tells the story of his remarkable life and career as an elite soldier and spymaster. He describes how as a teenager, he smuggled Jewish refugees into Palestine as part of the Palmach unit and how, as a spy in the newly established Mossad, he swam through sewers to blow up a British radar station, earning the name Rafi the Stinker'. He goes on to describe in detail his involvement in the extraordinary hunt for the Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann. Eitan's espionage career eventually ended over his involvement in the controversial Jonathan Pollard espionage affair, which sparked intense debate over Israel's relations with the US. Packed with new insights into Eitan's role at the heart of Israeli military and intelligence organisations, this is a gripping read and essential reading for anyone interested in espionage history and the daring operation to capture Adolf Eichmann.

Ay Tahayyur-e-Ishq is an old-fashioned romance with many twists and turns, in which the boy and the girl can go only so far. Bilal, the narrator of the story, was raised in the traditional culture of middle-class families in Northern India. When the family fled to Pakistan during the Partition, it struggled through poverty and Bilal supplemented his father's income by taking tutoring jobs while going through the school.Things started happening as he was about to enter the university.A girl had moved into the neighborhood, and Bilal kept hearing about her from others. Her name was Momina, and she was supposed to be an intellectual, an athlete, a debater and a high-achiever. His curiosity led to infatuation and eventually to obsession, but he was shocked when he met her for the first time. She wore a niqab and was covered from head to toe with a burqa. All he saw was her hand, in which she held Ernest Hemingway's The Old Man and The Sea. He fell in love with that hand and kept thinking about it. "If Alexandros had chosen Momina to model for his sculpture of Venus, he would have carved her in pink onyx with brown tint instead of plain marble," he often thought.When Bilal got into the university, Momina was the only girl on the campus, wearing full niqab. They got down from the university bus on the same stop and walked together since they lived in the same neighborhood.At first Bilal was hesitant to talk to her since it was impolite for a stranger to speak to a woman who covered her face, but he was surprised when she introduced herself to him. As time passed, he found out that Momina was not simply an intellectual; she was argumentative, aggressive and lacked etiquette.Bilal started avoiding Momina but could not get rid of her. At times, she seemed to be affectionate, even flirtatious, and he could not figure out how to handle her. His love-hate relationship with her turned into an emotional roller coaster ride for him and he was on the verge of nervous breakdown when Momina decided to transfer her credits to a university in Punjab where her grandparents lived.After Momina left, Bilal fell for Rubina, who reminded him of a rustic beauty in William Wordsworth's poem The Solitary Reaper. But this time he was caught in a love triangle when his best friend from school days fell for the same girl. Rubina liked both of them, but they were faced with the insoluble dilemma. Who would back out? Finally, Rubina made the decision.

Space Packed: The Architecture of Alfred Neumann is the first critical monograph on the work of the Austrian-born modernist architect Alfred Neumann (1900-1968). Based on an exploration of his writings and a close study of his built and unbuilt projects, it unveils and analyses Neumann's approach to architecture in the context of post-war modernism and the establishment of the State of Israel from 1948 onwards. Rafi Segal's book brings to attention again this highly significant, yet largely forgotten figure who contributed vastly to establishing modernism in Israel and who had a lasting impact on the new country's architectural culture. At his time, Neumann was equally renowned and controversial for his original designs that differed from modernist mainstream. Space Packed is divided into four chapters that discuss the development of Neumann's architectural theories, methodologies, and built work during the 1950s and 1960s, against the backdrop of contemporary architectural discourse and the nation-building demands of the new state of Israel. It also features a chronologically-organised and illustrated catalogue of Neumann's buildings and designs, including a vast number of previously unpublished photographs, drawings and sketches.

For over 30 years scholars and practitioners have been looking for an integrative theory that would enable successful Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A). Yet, most M&A destroy, rather than create value (Marks, Mirvis 2011 2008). The goal of this book is to improve the success rate of acquisitions in the technology driven sector through the identification of the most significant factors that affect the outcome of M&A and the way they impact the results. The research is subscribed to interpretive philosophy and case study strategy. The research population includes three technology driven acquisitions that took place between 1999 and 2006. Using in depth interviews, observations and secondary resources the research provides a holistic, rich details description of the acquisitions and its outcomes. The study's contribution to knowledge is the identification of the specific factors that affected the results of researched cases and the development of an integrated, holistic description of the business, technology and organizational aspects that were most directly linked to acquisitions' performance.
