Mike Hargrove and the Cleveland Indians

A Baseball Life

By: Jim Ingraham

An inside, in-depth look at a fascinating baseball life . . . There were spectacular highs—Rookie of the Year, All Star, World Series . . . And devastating lows—the end of his playing days, a tragic accident in his second year as manager, a heartbreaker in the World Series, being fired from the job he loved . . . Mike Hargrove truly spent a lifetime in baseball. From the sandlots of tiny Perryton, Texas, to the biggest stage, Game 7 of the World Series, he played, coached, managed . . . lived the game for four decades. The Cleveland Indians were at the center of Hargrove’s baseball life for more than 20 years. He played for some mediocre Indians teams in the 1980s. He managed some of the best Indians teams ever in the 1990s—including five consecutive division titles, one of the most powerful offensive lineups in baseball history (Lofton, Belle, Baerga, Murray, Thome, Ramirez) and two trips to the World Series. Not bad for a kid who didn’t play baseball in high school, was a walk-on in college and an afterthought 25th-round draft pick. One constant in Hargrove’s roller-coaster career: Sharon Hargrove. Their 50-year marriage in an unsteady business (from 1970 to 1995, the Hargroves lived in 23 different houses) is inspiring. This book takes a close-up look at a life and career long under-appreciated—by us, not by him—perhaps because much of it was spent in the shadows of so many big personalities. But Hargrove’s story includes big moments—both heartbreaking and heart-stopping.

Meisel introduces readers to a cast of characters that larger-than-life personalities, including Belle, Thome, Kenny Lofton, Eddie Murray, and manager Mike Hargrove, who managed to keep the clubhouse at peace. Thrilling come-from-behind wins jump off the page as the Indians race toward clinching the division. Then Meisel details the Indians' October to Remember, from thrilling playoff triumphs over Boston and Seattle to the first World Series games in Cleveland since the days of Bob Feller. Cleveland Rocked offers the story of a team that brought baseball back in Northeast Ohio.

The Impact Of Ash Deposition On Coal Fired Plants

Proceedings of the Engineering Foundation Conference Held at the St. John's Swallow Hotel, Solihull, England

By: Jim Williamson

Coal provides almost 40% of the world's electricity, and despite the understandable concern with respect to the environmental impact associated with coal use, forecasts from the International Energy Agency predict, that worldwide coal use will increase by up to 2% per annum until the year 2OlO. Faced with this increase, it is clearly important that the most efficient and environmentally acceptable clean coal technologies are available. This book is comprised of the proceedings of the Engineering Foundation Conference held in June 1993 in England. The objective of the conference was to present ideas on methods of predicting and reducing the effects of ash deposition in coal conversion systems, highlighting the problems experienced in industry, considering both utilities and industrial plants, and providing a view of the technology of coal ash deposition and its impact. Better techniques are needed to reduce the impact of ash deposition in coal fired plants, and these proceedings should form a reference document for anyone either experiencing slagging or actively engaged in trying to understand or eliminate the phenomenon.

A landmark book in its field of investigative reporting.” —John Barkham Reviews “Hougan is a superb storyteller and the pages teem with unforgettable characters.

Beyond Darkness

By: Jim Robertson

What would you do if in a matter of seconds you went from being healthy and strong to being so badly damaged even your loved ones would have trouble recognizing it was really you? If you wound up being robbed of the ability to see the world as you had always done, how could you make up for such a loss? What kind of future could you have if you were no longer the person you'd always known yourself to be? The author of this autobiography had to start facing these questions when he was only 20 years old. His answers provide insight into his true character and portray the people and the era from which he came.
