Ride of a Lifetime

The Sandy Hawley Story

By: Sandy Hawley,Perry Lefko

In the world of thoroughbred racing and certainly in the chronicles of Canadian sports, diminutive Sandy Hawley stands tall as a legend, admired as much for his class as his riding ability. The native of Oshawa, Ontario became one of the greatest jockeys of his generation, graduating from his Canadian roots to become one of the best in North America. Hawley rode for a thirty-year period, during which he won 6,449 of 31,445 races, including a record-tying four Queens Plate, Canadas premier horse race. His mounts earned in the excess of $88 million, which placed him in the top 10 overall when he retired in 1998. He won the Eclipse Awardthe equivalent of the Oscaras North Americas top jockey, twice was named the winner of the Lour Marsh Award as Canadas top athleteprevious to him no jockey had ever been a recipientand received the order of Canada. Yet Sandy Hawleys story is not all about glory, celebrity, and wins. He suffered two failed marriages, which drained much of his income, and had his financial status impacted severely by income-tax problems. He also waged a battle to extricate himself from a contract that threatened his career just when it started to soar. But by far his biggest challenge became a battle with melanoma, a form of skin cancer. He successfully overcame and ultimately beat the disease, yet even more impressive was his resolve and determination to ride again. For the racing aficionados, this book captures all the great moments that made Hawley a star that has stood the test of time. But more than anything, its a depiction of a person, his successes and his failures, and more than anything, his humanity.

Art Theft and the Case of the Stolen Turners

By: Sandy Nairne

In 1994 two important paintings by J.M.W. Turner—then valued at twenty-four million pounds—were stolen from a German public gallery while on loan from Tate Britain. In this vivid, personal account, Sandy Nairne who was then Director of Programmes at the Tate and became centrally involved in the pursuit of the paintings and the negotiations for their return, retells this complex, 8-year, cloak-and-dagger story, which finally concluded in 2002 with the pictures returning to public display at the Tate. In addition to this thrilling narrative, Nairne unravels stories of other high-value art thefts, puzzling what motivates a thief to steal a well-known work of art that cannot be sold, even on the black market. Nairne also examines the role of art theft within the larger underworld of international looting and illicit deals among art and antique collectors. The art heist, of course, is a popular theme of crime novels and films, and Nairne considers these depictions as well, investigating the imaginative construction of the art thief, the specialist detective, and the mysterious collector. Art Theft and the Case of the Stolen Turners is a compelling, real-life detective story that will keep both art and mystery lovers eagerly turning pages.

The New Architecture of Wine

25 Spectacular California Wineries

By: Heather Sandy Hebert

Celebrate the sophisticated blend of agriculture and style that defines California wine country. With well-told stories and stunning photography, author Heather Hebert features the architecture of 25 California wineries in her alluring new book, The New Architecture of Wine. As wine tourism has increased, California vintners have embraced the call to create splendid spaces where visitors can taste their unique varieties and enjoy conversation about wine. In place of imitating old-world European estates, grand architectural statements or quirky forays into bohemianism, the new architecture of wine has evolved into a celebration of California’s topography, agricultural heritage, historic architectural vernacular, and forward-thinking passion for sustainability and design. The 25 wineries featured in The New Architecture of Wine, all built within the last ten years, include buildings designed by top architects Juan Carlos Fernandez and Howard Backen, among others. Together, these wineries form an authentic expression of the winemakers’ passion for the land and its heritage—an homage to California. Heather Hebert, formerly the director of marketing for a San Francisco-based architecture firm with an international practice, spent 25+ years guiding the firm's marketing, brand identity, and positioning on a global scale. She works directly with clients to develop their brand strategy and design stories for their hotel, resort, winery, multi-family residential and urban mixed-use projects. Heather lives in Marin County, California, with her husband and four children. The New Architecture of Wine is her first book.

More Mirrors in the Classroom

Using Urban Children's Literature to Increase Literacy

By: Jane Fleming,Susan Catapano,Candace M. Thompson,Sandy Ruvalcaba Carrillo

Nearly 30% of all public school children attend school in large or mid-size cities, totaling more than 16 million students in 22,000 schools. For schools serving culturally and linguistically diverse populations and large numbers of children living in poverty, a significant achievement gap persists. Proponents of multicultural education often advocate for instruction with culturally relevant texts to promote inclusion, compassion, and understanding of our increasingly diverse society. Less discussion has focused on the significant body of research that suggests that culturally relevant texts have important effects on language and literacy development. By “connecting the dots” of existing research, More Mirrors in the Classroom raises awareness about the critical role that urban children's literature can play in helping children learn to read and write. In addition, it provides practical step-by-step advice for increasing the cultural relevance of school curricula in order to accelerate literacy learning.

American Political Parties and Elections

A Very Short Introduction

By: Louis Sandy Maisel

Few Americans and even fewer citizens of other nations understand the electoral process in the United States. Still fewer understand the role played by political parties in the electoral process or the ironies within the system. Participation in elections in the United States is much lower than in the vast majority of mature democracies. Perhaps this is because of the lack of competition in a country where only two parties have a true chance of winning, despite the fact that a large number of citizens claim allegiance to neither and think badly of both. Or perhaps it is because in the U.S. campaign contributions disproportionately favor incumbents in most legislative elections, or that largely unregulated groups such as the now notorious 527s have as much impact on the outcome of a campaign as do the parties or the candidates' campaign organizations. These factors offer a very clear picture of the problems that underlay our much trumpeted electoral system. The second edition of this Very Short Introduction introduces the reader to these issues and more. Drawing on updated data and new examples from the 2016 presidential nominations, L. Sandy Maisel provides an insider's view of how the system actually works while shining a light on some of its flaws. He also illustrates the growing impact of campaigning through social media, the changes in campaign financing wrought by the Supreme Court recent decisions, and the Tea Party's influence on the sub-presidential nominating process. As the United States enter what is sure to be yet another highly contested election year, it is more important than ever that Americans take the time to learn the system that puts so many in power.

Elections: a Very Short Introduction

By: L. Sandy Maisel,Jennifer A. Yoder

Elections: A Very Short Introduction focuses on the key concepts surrounding elections that occur in all democracies and non-democratic regimes. Elections, essentially, determine who will hold public office and who will have the power to govern. Moreover, all democracies do not function in the same way and so do their respective election system functions. The VSI then highlights how elections connect citizens to those whom they choose to make decisions on their behalf and who regulate their behavior. It examines a variety of voting and electoral systems before providing an overview of reforms under consideration in a number of countries"--

Indian Placenames in America

Indian Placenames in America

By: Sandy Nestor

The American Indians have lost much of their land over the years, but their legacy is evident in the many places around the United States that have Indian names. Countless placenames have, however, been corrupted over time, and numerous placenames have similar spellings but different meanings. This reference work is a reprint in one combined volume of the two-volume set published by McFarland in 2003 and 2005. Volume One covers the name origins and histories of cities, towns and villages in the United States that have Indian names. It is arranged alphabetically by state, then alphabetically by city, town or village name. Additional data include population figures and county names. Probable Indian placenames with no certain origin also receive entries, and as much history as possible is provided about those locations. Volume Two covers more than 1400 rivers, lakes, mountains and other natural features in the United States with Indian names. It is arranged by state, and then alphabetically by natural feature. Counties are provided for most entries, with multiple counties listed for some entries where appropriate. In addition to name origins and meanings, geophysical data such as the heights of mountains and lengths of waterways are indicated.
