Paperback. Zustand: Good. Welcome to the mind of a magician-an honest liar-who can prove you shouldn't believe everything you perceive. We wake up in the morning and look out the window seeing the world as it is. But the beauty about illusions is they prove our perceptions aren't always true. Therefore, how do we know if something is real or not? If we all perceive things differently, then what is the truth? Are we living with the truth? Or are we living with illusions that we think are the truth? How do we know? This book contains not only the secrets of magic, but the tale of a human spirit and the psychological struggle between emotion and imagination. A philosophical outlook at what separates those who perceive the world as it appears, and those who imagine their own reality. Welcome to the greatest illusion ever created, the act more commonly referred to as Life. Let the show begin. …

Paperback. Zustand: Good. From Rube to Robinson brings together the best Negro League baseball scholarship that the Society of American Baseball Research (SABR) has ever produced, pulled from its journals, Biography Project, and award-winning essays. The book includes a star-studded list of scholars and historians, from the late Jerry Malloy and Jules Tygiel, to award winners Larry Lester, Geri Strecker, and Jeremy Beer, and a host of other talented writers. The essays cover topics ranging over nearly a century, from 1866 and the earliest known Black baseball championship, to 1962 and the end of the Negro American League.Todd Peterson's May the Best Man Win: The Black Ball Championships 1866-1923 opens the volume and looks at championships that preceded the Colored World Series of 1924. The late Jerry Malloy covers an early circuit in The Pittsburgh Keystones and the 1887 Colored League. Malloy points out that the short-lived league garnered the acceptance of the National Agreement of 1883, something no other Black organization was able to do.Not only did Black baseball begin earlier than most fans of the sport may realize, it took root in places that might not be expected either. Steven R. Hoffbeck and Peter Gorton tell the story of legendary southpaw John Donaldson, who pioneered baseball in Minnesota and who would eventually be part of the NNL's 1920 inaugural season with the Kansas City Monarchs.Two seminal Negro Leagues researchers-Dick Clark and John Holway-place the 1921 NNL season in context, including a sidebar from the original 1985 article detailing SABR's Negro Leagues Committee's efforts to compile a statistical history.Of course there are also profiles of some of the Negro Leagues' now-mythic figures: Sol White (by Jay Hurd), Rube Foster (by Larry Lester), and Oscar Charleston. Jeremy Beer contributes his article Hothead: How the Oscar Charleston Myth Began, which rebuts the notion that Charleston was a brawler in need of anger management.Ballparks and venues also get a look, with a major league field and a Negro League field included. James Overmyer's Black Baseball at Yankee Stadium describes the tenant/landlord relationship of Negro Leagues teams with the New York Yankees during the 1930s and 40s, while Geri Driscoll Strecker's The Rise and Fall of Greenlee Field is a cradle-to-grave biography of the Pittsburgh Crawfords' stadium.The final section of the book covers integration and the socio-economics of Black baseball. Leading off is Larry Lester's masterful Can You Read, Judge Landis? which refutes the contention that Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis was blameless for the persistence of baseball's segregation. MLB's official historian John Thorn and the late Jules Tygiel weigh in with Jackie Robinson's Signing: The Real, Untold Story. And Japheth Knopp's Negro League Baseball, Black Community, and the Socio-Economic Impact of Integration explores Kansas City as a case study in the effects of integration.Brian Carroll's Early Twentieth Century Heroes: Coverage of Negro League Baseball in the Pittsburgh Courier and the Chicago Defender studies the cooperation among the African American press, local business communities, and baseball men such as Rube Foster to form the Negro National League, and later, the Eastern Colored League. And Duke Goldman presents an in-depth and meticulously referenced recap of the winter meetings and in-season owners meetings from the formation of a second Negro National League in 1933 through the last gasp of the Negro American League in 1962.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. (Vocal Collection). G. Schirmer was the first publisher to accept the work of this prolific and beloved composer of art songs. This new collection includes many of his best-known songs, all of which were originally published as individual sheets, but most have been unavailable for many years. Two previously unpublished songs appear here for the first time: Elaine, and Fragment. Additionally, we have made careful transpositions of many songs, making them accessible to more singers. (For each transposed song, the original key is also indicated.) This is first-rate collegiate literature.…
