Trading Manny

How a Father and Son Learned to Love Baseball Again

By: Jim Gullo

The moving story of how a father and his young son recaptured their love of baseball—a winning testament to why the game matters and how it can still bring us together in spite of itself. In recent years something hasn't been quite right with baseball. Ask Jim Gullo: he'll tell you even a seven-year-old kid knows it. In December 2007, just as Jim's young son Joe was beginning to develop a true passion for the game, the bombshell news of players' steroid use made it clear that America's pastime wasn't what it claimed to be. Suddenly, Jim found himself struggling to answer questions from Joe that had nothing to do with batting averages or World Series champions: What are steroids? Who was using them? Wasn't it cheating? Why weren't the players who got caught suspended or punished by baseball?br Rather than wait for an official explanation and apology from Major League Baseball that would never materialize, Jim and Joe set out to find their own answers. They traveled the country from coast to coast, from Spring Training contests to major and minor league games—speaking with players, prospects, and managers while tracking down the legends and ghosts of baseball's golden age. And one day they discovered an aging but dedicated prospect who would become not only a true role model for Joe, but also the unlikely inspiration to lure both father and son back to the game they loved. By turns humorous, heartbreaking, and inspiring, Trading Manny tells the story of their journey back to baseball -- how along the way Joe traded his idol Manny for a more worthy hero, and Jim discovered something invaluable about being a father.

Oncologic Emergencies

By: Sai-Ching Jim Yeung,Carmen P. Escalante

Specialized care for cancer-related emergencies and acute conditions has evolved into a new discipline - a hybrid of oncology and emergency medicine. However, most cancer patients are not treated for their emergencies at specialized centers; rather, they go to acute care facilities in general hospitals or emergency rooms. The purpose of Oncologic Emergencies is to provide an additional resource for primary care providers (internists, family practitioners, advanced clinical practitioners), emergency physicians, oncologists, and other healthcare providers who may not see oncology patients on a regular basis. Written by acute care oncology experts, Oncologic Emergencies is an informative and authoritative review for when cancer patients require acute symptom management. The text is extensively indexed for easy access and retrieval of information. Chapters discuss triage, life and death situations, major presenting symptoms, diagnostic imaging, and pathophysiology of emergency illness. Additional chapters focus on the organ system (including pain emergencies and psychiatric emergencies) with other chapters dedicated to pediatric and geriatric cancer patients. Oncologic Emergencies is a compact, concise and comprehensive guide to the management of acute and emergency situations relating to cancer. Key Features: Features generic names for medications and foreign synonyms to allow for world-wide use Incorporates algorithms, especially for diagnostic approaches or therapeutic management Includes a dual-platform mini-CD-ROM with the complete text and illustrations, in fully searchable PDF files

It's Been a Pleasure

The Jim Finks Story

By: Jim Finks, Jr.,Will McDonough,Jack Clary,Eric Bishop,Jim Klobuchar,Don Pierson,Brian Allee-Walsh,Gordon Forbes

During a lifetime in professional sports, Jim Finks touched nearly every rung on the ladder. As a player during the National Football League's Golden Era of the 1950's, Finks suffered a broken neck making a tackle and later survived to become a Pro Bowl quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers. He coached Paul Hornung to a Heisman Trophy at Notre Dame in 1956 before cutting his teeth as general manager of the Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football League. From Canada, Finks headed south to help build Super Bowl teams as GM of the Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears. He even brought his winning touch to baseball as president of the Chicago Cubs in 1984 before rescuing the New Orleans Saints from pigskin purgatory and elevating them to playoff respectability. Finks spent 26 years as an NFL general manager and was a strong candidate to replace Pete Rozelle as commissioner in 1989 while earning NFL executive of the year awards in 1973 and 1987. Jim Finks was admired for his honesty and integrity in a business where the shafts and knives often fill the air. Finks was a unique individual, and "It's Been a Pleasure" will impart even more of that wisdom.
