of their adventures than in any thing to be seen on the grounds. Being a good short-hand reporter, I took down most of these narrations just as they came from Charleys lips, though I had then no expectation of presenting them to my young readers. As autumn drew on, my physician ordered me South for my health, and I bade good-by to my little friends with no little regret, thinking it most likely we should meet no more. Fortune, however, turned my steps to the mountains of Texas, where I - again met Charley and Nasho, just returned from their daring trip across Kansas and the Northern Texas frontier in mid-winter. A broken leg, caught in a fall from my horse whilt bear-hunting, laid me up a prisoner at good Mf. Zancos house for six weeks-weeks that were enlivened by Charleys animated descriptions of their adventures after leaving the Centennial. As before, I took down full notes, and believing from the interest they had aroused in me that they would be acceptable to thousands of American boys, I have hastily thrown them into shape for the press, and here they are.

Little did he know that he would meet a man who would compel him, by the example of his life, back into the world of people, for Jesus' sake.</p> <p><i>The Walk</i> is Michael Card's story of his relationship with Bill Lane, who forever changed his outlook on life.

April 5, 2006. The program's darkest hour had arrived in an unexpected and explosive announcement. Pressler, a three-time ACC Coach of the Year, informed his team that its season was canceled and he had ""resigned,"" effective immediately. While his words reverberated off the walls, hysteria erupted. Players cried, confused over a course of events that had spun wildly out of control. What began as an off-campus team party with two hired strippers had accelerated into a rape investigation - one that exposed prosecutorial misconduct, shoddy police work, an administration's rush to judgment, and the media's disregard for the facts - dividing both a prestigious university and the city of Durham. Wiping away tears, Pressler demonstrated the steely resolve that helped him win more than two hundred games. For the next thirty minutes, Pressler put his personal situation aside and encouraged his players to stick together. He also made a bold promise: ""One day, we will get a chance to tell the world the truth. One day."" This is that day."  (less)

come up with sketchy ways to make money, often at the expense of others.P When they begin to do business with the Flying Dragons, a dangerous Chinese motorcycle gang, they realize that loyalty is hard to come by and friendships are fickle, even within their own clique.

and sends us on a journey of exploration in the company of two inspired guides, acclaimed authors Robert and Ellen Kaplan. With wit, verve, and clarity, they trace the life of the Pythagorean theorem, from ancient Babylon to the present, visiting along the way Leonardo da Vinci, Albert Einstein, President James Garfield, and the Freemasons—not to mention the elusive Pythagoras himself, who almost certainly did not make the statement that bears his name.P/PHow can a theorem have more than one proof? Why does this one have more than two hundred—or is it four thousand? The Pythagorean theorem has even more applications than proofs: Ancient Egyptians used it for surveying property lines, and today astronomers call on it to measure the distance between stars. Its generalizations are stunning—the theorem works even with shapes on the sides that aren’t squares, and not just in two dimensions, but any number you like, up to infinity. And perhaps its most intriguing feature of all, this tidy expression opened the door to the world of irrational numbers, an untidy discovery that deeply troubled Pythagoras’s disciples.P/PLike the authors’ bestsellingIThe Nothing That Is/IandIChances Are . . ./I—hailed as “erudite and witty,” “magnificent,” and “exhilarating”—IHidden Harmonies/Imakes the excitement of mathematics palpable./DIV/DIVDIVDIVBRobert and Ellen Kaplan/Bhave taught mathematics to people from six to sixty at leading independent schools and most recently at Harvard University.
