The legendary storytellers worthy of a spot in the pro wrestling hall of fame You can’t escape pro wrestling today, even if you want to. Its stars are ubiquitous in movies, TV shows, product endorsements, swag, and social media to the point that they are as much celebrities as they are athletes. Pro wrestling has morphed from the fringes of acceptability to a global $1 billion industry that plays an everyday role in 21st-century pop culture. In this latest addition to the Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame series, Greg Oliver and Steven Johnson explain how the sport’s unique take on storytelling has fueled its remarkable expansion. Hundreds of interviews and original accounts inform this exploration of the imaginative ways in which wrestlers and promoters have used everything from monkeys to murderers to put butts in seats and eyes on screens. From the New York City Bowery in the 1890s to a North Carolina backyard in 2017, readers will encounter all manner of scoundrels, do-gooders, scribes, and alligators in this highly readable, heavily researched book that inspires a new appreciation for the fine (and sometimes not-so-fine) art of storytelling.

How do Jacksonville homicide detectives determine the killer of the city's most prominent cardiothoracic surgeon when it turns out, surprisingly, nearly everyone associated with the doctor is a sociopath? It's 1995, and superficially, Dr. Mason Cooper would appear to have it all--a beautiful wife, a successful career, and a sterling community reputation. So when his body is discovered under the dock of his estate home along the St. Johns River, it seems there would be few suspects. Not so. Is it his stately and sophisticated wife, Lydia, who has conspired to kill Mason? Or is it his mistress and coworker, Kendra Taylor, bent on revenge? Or is it Presbyterian Hospital's newly hired cardiothoracic surgeon, Dr. Lance Barton, whose reputation Cooper meant to destroy? Or is it Presbyterian's CEO, Brad Spence, who is determined to wrest control of Cooper's practice and consolidate his power at the hospital? Or is it Dr. Robert Edwards, the anesthesiologist who has been the object of Cooper's relentless bullying since arriving in Jacksonville the year before? Finally, it's about Dr. Jacob Fleckert, Jacksonville's renowned forensic pathologist, who had discerned the killer's identity, but he has his own reasons for not disclosing what he knows to his detective friend. Secrets abound as nearly everyone has a hidden past, and nearly everyone has at least one motive--money, sex, or revenge--for wanting Cooper dead. Interwoven into the story are true historical notes and personages of Jacksonville and that area of northeastern Florida in 1995, an area that is really more Deep South than typical Florida. It is a story that has enough twists and turns to keep the reader guessing the who how and why until the very end, and it is certain to have the reader going back to find the missed clues.
Many claims are made about how certain tools, technologies, and practices improve software development. But which claims are verifiable, and which are merely wishful thinking? In this book, leading thinkers such as Steve McConnell, Barry Boehm, and Barbara Kitchenham offer essays that uncover the truth and unmask myths commonly held among the software development community. Their insights may surprise you. Are some programmers really ten times more productive than others? Does writing tests first help you develop better code faster? Can code metrics predict the number of bugs in a piece of software? Do design patterns actually make better software? What effect does personality have on pair programming? What matters more: how far apart people are geographically, or how far apart they are in the org chart? Contributors include: Jorge Aranda Tom Ball Victor R. Basili Andrew Begel Christian Bird Barry Boehm Marcelo Cataldo Steven Clarke Jason Cohen Robert DeLine Madeline Diep Hakan Erdogmus Michael Godfrey Mark Guzdial Jo E. Hannay Ahmed E.

This book details the origins of the names of 240 musical acts, focusing on the most popular groups (and a few individual performers) from the 1960s through today. Even casual music fans will recognize almost all of the acts discussed. A few one-hit wonders are included simply because their name is so unusual (Mungo Jerry, for example) that they warrant a place in the study. Each entry focuses on the meaning and/or origin of the act's name, what it had been called previously, and any other names that were considered and rejected during the naming process. Also included are facts and figures about the act's history and place in the rock music pantheon, the year the act was formed, the names of original members and later members of note and the act's best known hit. The book lists bands alphabetically to give the casual reader the opportunity to open it to any page and read at leisure, the historian the ability to easily pinpoint the subject of his or her research, or the die-hard rock fan the chance to learn from A to Z the name origins of the biggest acts in rock and pop music history.
