27 VIEWS of CHARLOTTE: The Queen City in Prose & Poetry is an anthology of the city known for banking, trees, diversity, and sports. Journalists, novelists, poets, and essayists offer a broad and varied picture of life, present and past, in the legendary Southern city—from a history of the city’s stint as capital of the Confederacy, to a deeply personal essay about integrating restaurants during the civil rights era, to reflections on contemporary Charlotte’s overwhelming growth and New South reputation. Authors appreciate Charlotte’s diversity and vitality, tout its vibrant arts and food scenes, and praise surging Uptown. Yet they don’t shy away from its ongoing struggles: cultural, political, and economic. The views create a literary montage of Charlotte, reflecting its social, historic, and creative fabric.

The House of Zondervan

Celebrating 75 Years

By: Jim Ruark

The year was 1931, and in a farmhouse in Grandville, Michigan, brothers Pat and Bernie Zondervan were quietly making publishing history. They started by purchasing and reselling some “remaindered” book from Harper & Brothers, then quickly moved into a publishing operation of their own, which, thanks to faith, industriousness, business savvy, and the right people, prospered in the midst of the Depression. It has been flourishing ever since. What began as Pat and Bernie’s vision has become today’s premier Christian communications company, meeting the needs of people across the world with resources that glorify Jesus Christ and promote biblical principles. This is the story of how it all happened. The House of Zondervan is a fascinating, richly human look at the people and the relationships, the faith and the labor, the struggles and heartbreaks as well as the triumphs, the accomplishments of yesterday and the challenges and opportunities of today, that both make up our heritage and point toward our future. Here are authors who have shaped the face of evangelicalism and helped people across the world experience the power and grace of God’s kingdom. Here too are editors and marketers who have brought to light some of Christianity’s most gifted and important voices. And here are leaders who have not only defined the course of our company but embodied its character and instilled it in those they have led. The story of Zondervan is also the story of its enterprises past and present—a story of retail stores; record and music publishing; bestselling Bibles and Bible translations such as the New International Version; rich and diverse partnerships; constantly shifting relationships in the publishing and bookselling industry; and innovations in marketing, research, product development, and author care that have earned us our place at the vanguard of Christian communications. Above all, the history of Zondervan is the story of lives reached and transformed by the grace and power of God. And it is a testimony to Jesus Christ, the Lord we love and serve, who has been faithful to us as we have strived to be faithful to him. Welcome to The House of Zondervan. We hope you enjoy your stay!

DNAlien II

The Hunt for Gene

By: Jim West

DNAlien II is the continuation of the story concerning a secret government program that developed a unique being from experiments with alien DNA and human embryos. The being they produce from the project, known as GENE (Genetic Embryonic Nucleus Enhancement), is part of the ongoing research of captured or crashed UFOs and the recovered bodies. Following Gene’s escape during the World Trade Center attacks in 2001, he is befriended by Butch North, a citizen of Aurora, Texas,. While the US Government mounts a nationwide search, Butch tries to hide Gene from the intense efforts the government puts into his capture. They use every asset at their disposal, including satellite coverage, phone taps, vehicle trackers, and transmitters secretly placed throughout his home and vehicles. While they try to determine where he has been hidden, Butch and a small group of close friends work together to keep Gene safe. The matter is further complicated when Gene is introduced to a woman named Leslie and they become involved. As the search expands to include her, Butch must ensure both of them are removed from the rural area just north of Ft Worth, Texas. Throughout the search, Kevin, a very close friend of Butch, becomes the primary protector and is given the responsibility for their lives. When Leslie becomes pregnant, Butch and Kevin are forced to develop plans that will protect them after the baby is born. The government finally learns of Gene and Leslie’s location, and once again they must try to flee the area before they are captured.

Gathering Strays

Stories from Kansas and the Southwestern Plains

By: Jim Hoy

Celebrated folklorist and author Jim Hoy has spent most of his life living in the heart of the famed Flint Hills of Kansas and documenting and celebrating his fellow Kansans and plains folk. Like rounding up stray cattle in a rolling pasture, Hoy has gathered over a hundred stray stories, tales without a single theme or unified narrative, and corraled them up here for the very first time. Branding these stories in sections like Cattle Towns, Outlaws, and Cowboy Music, Hoy’s vignettes teach, excite, charm, and instill a deep pride in anyone fortunate enough to have lived on the Great Plains. In Gathering Strays, Hoy gives us a collection of stories about Kansas, the Great Plains, and Western life that reflect his life-long love of the land, experience, and history of the region. Hoy introduces us to folks like Elmer McCurdy, a failed train robber whose arsenic-embalmed body went on tour and made money for the undertaker, and Ame Cole, who scolded Russian Grand Duke Alexis on his table manners. Writing as an easygoing storyteller, Hoy covers familiar areas like rodeos and cattle drives, takes us from Dodge City to Beer City and everywhere in between, explains why Kansas has the best state song in the nation, and expands our picture of cowboys with stories of Australian drovers, Black cowboys, and Mexican vaqueros. Throughout, his easy-to-read yet authoritative style describes the people, places, and events that make the region so distinctive and celebrated. Gathering Strays will be hailed by anyone interested in the heroes and villains, towns and ranges, and myths and legends of the West.

Analyzing Baseball Data with R, Second Edition

By: Max Marchi,Jim Albert,Benjamin S. Baumer

Analyzing Baseball Data with R Second Edition introduces R to sabermetricians, baseball enthusiasts, and students interested in exploring the richness of baseball data. It equips you with the necessary skills and software tools to perform all the analysis steps, from importing the data to transforming them into an appropriate format to visualizing the data via graphs to performing a statistical analysis. The authors first present an overview of publicly available baseball datasets and a gentle introduction to the type of data structures and exploratory and data management capabilities of R. They also cover the ggplot2 graphics functions and employ a tidyverse-friendly workflow throughout. Much of the book illustrates the use of R through popular sabermetrics topics, including the Pythagorean formula, runs expectancy, catcher framing, career trajectories, simulation of games and seasons, patterns of streaky behavior of players, and launch angles and exit velocities. All the datasets and R code used in the text are available online. New to the second edition are a systematic adoption of the tidyverse and incorporation of Statcast player tracking data (made available by Baseball Savant). All code from the first edition has been revised according to the principles of the tidyverse. Tidyverse packages, including dplyr, ggplot2, tidyr, purrr, and broom are emphasized throughout the book. Two entirely new chapters are made possible by the availability of Statcast data: one explores the notion of catcher framing ability, and the other uses launch angle and exit velocity to estimate the probability of a home run. Through the book’s various examples, you will learn about modern sabermetrics and how to conduct your own baseball analyses. Max Marchi is a Baseball Analytics Analyst for the Cleveland Indians. He was a regular contributor to The Hardball Times and Baseball Prospectus websites and previously consulted for other MLB clubs. Jim Albert is a Distinguished University Professor of statistics at Bowling Green State University. He has authored or coauthored several books including Curve Ball and Visualizing Baseball and was the editor of the Journal of Quantitative Analysis of Sports. Ben Baumer is an assistant professor of statistical & data sciences at Smith College. Previously a statistical analyst for the New York Mets, he is a co-author of The Sabermetric Revolution and Modern Data Science with R.

From Nightlife to Eternal Life

The Story of Bitt Thrower

By: Jim Henninger

Bitt Thrower was a mans man in every sense of the word. At six three, three hundred pounds, he could smash home runs with ease and bash in heads as he pleased. So how did this man go from a traditional Christian upbringing to a years-long detour into the world of nightclubs, drug dealers, celebrities, undercover government intrigue, and crime? In From Nightlife to Eternal Life, author and biographer Jim Henninger introduces you to the real-life character of Bitt Thrower, a man who never stopped believing in God but who tried his best to ignore him. Yet after trying to turn his life around time after time but always failing, Bitt would finally find his way back to his Savior in the bleakest of environmentsa federal prison. Bitts story illustrates that no one is ever too far away from a loving Lord to return to his waiting arms. Although Bitt would seemingly lose everything he had battled to secure his whole life, he would in the end find what truly mattereda relationship with God and the salvation and redemption that only Christ could provide.
