Bøger af Bill Bradley

A collection of four short stories with a nautical theme. From the 'First Time Out' which is a primer/ starter for the beginner boater, to two others that take the reader from the stormy seas of the Atlantic 'Gulf Stream' to a storm rescue on Lake St. Clair in the Great Lakes. The final story 'A River Away' is a historical record of Lake St. Clair, Detroit River, and Windsor, Ontario and Canada. The book is 55 pages, 5"x7". A wonderful gift for amateur or seasoned boater. It is an addition to the 'Pirate's Guide to Lake St. Clair & Surrounding Waters' boaters guide book.

Complete Boating Guide book on Lake St. Clair and Surrounding Waters.

Almost two decades after its original publication and more than fifteen years after its author retired from the New York Knicks to become a United States senator, Bill Bradley's account of twenty days in a pro basketball season remains a classic in the literature of sports, unparalleled in its candor and intelligence.Bradley takes readers from the court to the locker room, from the seamless teamwork of a winning game to the loneliness of a motel in a strange city. We see Bradley and his fellow Knicks as they withstand the abuse of the press and the smothering adoration of their fans, along with the shameless appeals of those who want to parlay their celebrity into a fast buck. We watch in horror as Earl Monroe is beaten outside Madison Square Garden barely an hour after twenty thousand people cheered him. And we come to understand the euphoria and exhaustion, the icy concentration and intense pressure, that are felt only by those who play basketball for keeps.
