This book will give any parent and child an insight to the basics and what to expect at their first practice in flag football. Its illustrations show a step-by-step process on how the center snaps the football, how the QB hands the ball off to the running back, how the running back takes a handoff, and the importance of pulling flags in this sport. It also explains the difference between a defense and an offense and basic positions on each side of the ball, the importance of stretching, and staying hydrated. The book also touches base on what equipment they will need or be given and what clothing to wear in certain climates, team involvement, team cheer, and most importantly, that it is fun to play flag football. The intent of this book is to give the parent and the child some insight to the world of flag football at a young age, as well as an opportunity to practice some positional skills before the child joins and even while the child is presently playing at a younger age level.

Half Slave and Half Free, Revised Edition

The Roots of Civil War

By: Bruce Levine

Revised Edition With a New Preface and Afterword In a revised edition, brought completely up to date with a new preface and afterword and an expanded bibliography, Bruce Levine's succinct and persuasive treatment of the basic issues that precipitated the Civil War is as compelling as ever. Levine explores the far-reaching, divisive changes in American life that came with the incomplete Revolution of 1776 and the development of two distinct social systems, one based on slavery, the other on free labor--changes out of which the Civil War developed.

On the Battlefield of Merit

Harvard Law School, the First Century

By: Daniel R. Coquillette,Bruce A. Kimball

Harvard Law School is the oldest and, arguably, the most influential law school in the nation. U.S. presidents, Supreme Court justices, and foreign heads of state, along with senators, congressional representatives, social critics, civil rights activists, university presidents, state and federal judges, military generals, novelists, spies, Olympians, film and TV producers, CEOs, and one First Lady have graduated from the school since its founding in 1817. During its first century, Harvard Law School pioneered revolutionary educational ideas, including professional legal education within a university, Socratic questioning and case analysis, and the admission and training of students based on academic merit. But the school struggled to navigate its way through the many political, social, economic, and legal crises of the century, and it earned both scars and plaudits as a result. On the Battlefield of Merit offers a candid, critical, definitive account of a unique legal institution during its first century of influence. Daniel R. Coquillette and Bruce A. Kimball examine the school’s ties with institutional slavery, its buffeting between Federalists and Republicans, its deep involvement in the Civil War, its reluctance to admit minorities and women, its anti-Catholicism, and its financial missteps at the turn of the twentieth century. On the Battlefield of Merit brings the story of Harvard Law School up to 1909—a time when hard-earned accomplishment led to self-satisfaction and vulnerabilities that would ultimately challenge its position as the leading law school in the nation. A second volume will continue this history through the twentieth century.

The Flight of Pegasus

The Journey of Sir Robert the Risen

By: Bruce Bibee

Robert the Risen begins at the Fall of Acre (A.D. 1291) when Robert is pulled out of the rubble of the collapsed castle (after three days-hence his new surname). Bektash al-Fakhri, a Mameluk general, is his captor, and Robert is recruited to Bektash's body guard detail for the next seventeen years. Among the others in Bektash's retinue are a Buddhist monk (whose acupuncture brought Robert back to life), an itinerant Irish priest, Sufi warriors, and others. Over the course of Robert's enslavement, a dialogue among spiritual cousins (Jewish, Christian, and Muslim) is mediated by the Buddhist monk. They exchange ideas, meditation practices, and generally challenge each other to attain Enlightenment. Except, of course, when they aren't engaged in the numerous battles the Mameluks fight over these turbulent years. When Bektash dies, Robert is manumitted in the general's will, and Robert heads home. In Tunis, he finds that the French king arrested all the Templars in France on various charges, and the pope let him get away with it. When Robert's party gets to France, Robert is imprisoned in the pope's estate. There Robert confronts the pope, eventually escapes, and finally reunites with his cousin, William the Fearless, in London. The story is historically accurate. The speculative pieces are in the spiritual practices the Templars were alleged to have learned from the Sufis and the Gnostics. The further speculation is about what happens psychologically to 'warrior monks,' hence, the inclusion of a Buddhist monk from the Shaolin Monastery. Since the author holds both a Master's degree in Transpersonal Psychology, which explores the psychology of all religions and is an 8th degree black belt (Master) in Kung Fu San Soo, he is uniquely qualified to engage in this speculation.
