Me and Hank

A Boy and His Hero, Twenty-Five Years Later

By: Sandy Tolan

In 1965, when Sandy Tolan was nine, his hero left town. Unlike other Milwaukee Braves fans, Sandy continued to follow Hank Aaron and his teammates, even though they were now seven hundred miles south in Atlanta. In 1973, as Aaron closed in on Babe Ruth's career home run mark, the black slugger received racist hate mail by the ton. Shocked, Sandy wrote his hero a letter of support. A few weeks later, Aaron responded. Dear Sandy, Aaron wrote. Your letter of support and encouragement meant much more to me than I can adequately express in words. Twenty-five years later, Tolan embarked on a journey to meet his oldhero and to understand, through family, teammates, and civil rights leaders, a legacy of courage and dignity that resonates far beyond the playing field. Me and Hank explores the landscape between a hero's aspirations and the reality of his struggle; between a young fan's wishes and their delivery, a generation later, to a middle-aged man; and between the starkly different ways blacks and whites experience and remember the same events.

Romanticism, Memory, and Mourning

Romanticism, Memory, and Mourning

By: Mark Sandy

The subject of Romanticism, Memory, and Mourning could not be timelier with Zizek’s recent proclamation that we are ’living in the end times’ and in an era which is preoccupied with the process and consequences of ageing. We mourn both for our pasts and futures as we now recognise that history is a continuation and record of loss. Mark Sandy explores the treatment of grief, loss, and death across a variety of Romantic poetic forms, including the ballad, sonnet, epic, elegy, fragment, romance, and ode in the works of poets as diverse as Smith, Hemans, Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Shelley, Keats, and Clare. Romantic meditations on grief, however varied in form and content, are self-consciously aware of the complexity and strength of feelings surrounding the consolation or disconsolation that their structures of poetic memory afford those who survive the imaginary and actual dead. Romantic mourning, Sandy shows, finds expression in disparate poetic forms, and how it manifests itself both as the spirit of its age, rooted in precise historical conditions, and as a proleptic power, of lasting transhistorical significance. Romantic meditations on grief and loss speak to our contemporary anxieties about the inevitable, but unthinkable, event of death itself.

Sandy Kelly: In My Own Words

By: Sandy Kelly

Born in Sligo into a family of travelling entertainers, Sandy Kelly has become one of the top musical performers in Ireland. Sandy was co-opted into the family variety show from an early age. As a teenager she sang on the social club circuit in the UK, playing an ever more prominent role. When she returned to Ireland, she developed initially as a pop performer before following her instincts and concentrating on a music career. Her landmark 1989 recording of the Patsy Cline hit 'Crazy' led her to perform on stages all over the world, including the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville and the lead role in Patsy – The Musical in London's West End. But the music industry can be a tough place. Sandy has dealt with prejudice and financial pressures. Alongside the glamour of show business, she has experienced the heartaches of divorce, family illness and death, and faced the challenges of raising a daughter with special needs. Sandy has stood strong at the heart of Ireland's music scene for over four decades. Here, for the first time, she recounts the highs – and lows – of a lifetime in music, in her own words.

1230 North Garfield

By: Loryn K. Staley with Sandy Jacobsen

Noreen Mayr suffers through her marriage for 4,745 days—nearly thirteen years—before she finds the courage to change her life. At that point, one terrifying night, she packs her children into the old Plymouth and slips away into the night. As she leaves the house she shared with her husband, she knows she is saving more than the children’s lives; she is saving their futures, too. As the victims of cruel and unending psychological and physical abuse at the hands of her husband, Ray Mayr, she and her children have endured more than they could bear. Curious as to how one man could be so angry, she looks into his own childhood. There, she discovers a frightening truth, but no solutions to help spare her own children. Escape is the only answer, and Noreen knows she must take any chance that fate has presented her. As she drives into the night, embarking on an unknown but necessary journey to freedom and safety, she has no idea of the challenges she and her children will face. This is their story, one of sadness, fear, sorrow-and an escape to a successful, safe, and sane future, filled with hope. Noreen’s future comes to a screeching halt when she encounters a stranger.

Surface Impressions

A Poem

By: Stephen Sandy

A poem of eight parts, Stephen Sandy’s Surface Impressions offers a stunning burst of -invention, capacious enough for its grand themes of ecology, religion, and mortality, yet intimate and flexible in its constantly vibrant voice. The narrator moves through a widening landscape from New England to the cosmos itself, ruminating on the relation between his obsolescent, Romantic love of nature and the emptying of the cup of wildness in our time. American writers such as Melville, Poe, and Thoreau form a backdrop to the narrator’s thoughts of his children growing up in a world of technological change foreign to their father—“this global shopping spree we’re getting to be.” In addition, he considers faith as it pertains to religious belief in three generations: his own, his father’s, and his children’s. Employing a rich verbal texture with a precision of imagery, Surface Impressions mirrors its narrator’s tumbling consciousness as it gathers into verse the now and the long ago, the near and the far, the real and the simulated: “My screen saver shows a tropic sea, / jellyfish flouncing, sea horse trotting”; “out the window above the screen / growls no virtual deep but Melville’s ocean, / the whale’s path, sea of origin, of return.” At once impudent and elegiac, ironic and dignified, the voice that carries readers through this brilliant poem moves freely between the antipodes of mind and universe—from the narrator’s back porch to “the cluster of galaxies my galaxy is sitting in”—observing, “How cliché / to acknowledge being infinitesimal in / a system that, in its own way, is infinitesimal! / Can’t do it; nor can you.” Sandy triumphs in showing the significance, fragility, and unity of all life on earth.

Classic Knits of the 1980s

By: Sandy Black

Written by a pioneer of modern fashion knitwear, Classic Knits of the 1980s describes the principal fundamentals of knitwear design and features original, colourful, textural and fun knitting patterns that capture the fashion zeitgeist of the 1980s designer knitwear boom. As well as selling ready-made knitwear to stores, several designers made their patterns available as home knitting kits. Classic Knits of the 1980s features a range of innovative designs from Sandy Black knitting kits, many published here for the first time. The patterns are suitable for a broad range of knitting skills, from those with good basic knowledge of knitting to the more experienced knitter. Made up of two parts: Part 1 establishes the fashion and knitwear context of the period and its influence on the development of the designs, examining the entire creative process from inspiration to final pattern. Lavishly illustrated with photographs, diagrams and charts, special features include patchwork (modular) designs and intarsia or colour-block knitting, with techniques and tips for pattern calculations, working from charts and handling several colours. Part 2 then offers twenty-one original patterns and designs, grouped into themes of textural, graphic, heraldic and ornamental, plus the unique Siamese cat, leopard and tiger accessories. Contemporary photography, together with original images from the 1980s, illustrates the designs' timeless appeal, with close-up images of intricate pattern details and suggested design variations to aid creative knitters inspired by this pivotal decade.

GALP Regulatory Handbook

By: Sandy Weinberg

The GALP Regulatory Handbook is an easy-to-use manual to assist laboratories in applying the Good Automated Laboratory Practice guidelines published by the Environmental Protection Agency in 1990. The proliferation of computerized data collection has resulted in new problems of corruption, loss, and inappropriate modification in data provided to the EPA. The EPA published its GALP guidelines to aid laboratories replacing manual operations with computer technology. The eight chapters of this handbook provide a "how-to" framework for complying with those guidelines. The book looks at the extent and seriousness of those control issues for automated data collection systems, the intent of the GALPs in solving and preventing those problems, and the implementation guidelines that can help laboratory management maintain the compliance and quality that are fundamental to effective operation.

Hang Five

Hang Five

By: Sandy Hiortdahl

Until age three, she believed her parents when they said she was like everyone else and should go along accordingly. So, she did, never mind the missing toes. She walked, talked, ran, and swam. She learned to read, write, sing, and ride a bike, all ahead of schedule. And then, as the doctors had forewarned, the left leg began to outpace the right, the knee, the shinbone… The girl was lucky, they said. Others were missing both feet. Some without an arm and a leg, both hands, both arms, or even all of their limbs. And that part, the luck, is most definitely true. Sandy Hiortdahl’s Hang Five explores the ties between wholeness and identity, otherness and passing, not only in our bodies but in our spirits. Who are we compared to who we’re told we are, our worst projections, our ideal selves, and our ambitions? Neither the questions nor the answers are easy, and in that way, we are alike. These poems suggest we manage to gather our luck, uncover our truth, and go along accordingly.

In this collection, Stephen Sandy gathers his most striking poems from five previous books written over thirty-five years and adds memorable new ones to present a retrospective on his career to date." "Sandy has lived in some of the world's great urban centers and captures in these poems essential vibrations of modern and postmodern life." "While Sandy's poems address timeless issues, they also take up recent occurrences, including the passage of the Hale-Bopp comet and the deaths of Allen Ginsberg and Gianni Versace. A poet of wit and loss, he is deeply involved with the challenge to faith in our time; he writes out of the Western tradition in terms that are deeply tinged with Eastern thinking."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Steubenville

By: Sandy Day,Alan Craig Hall

Baron Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben was among the most important, yet underrated, players of the Revolution, and similar can be said for the town that bears his namesake in Ohio. If the name didn't give it away, von Steuben was a Prussian officer who aided the fledgling nation during the Revolutionary War, even serving as Gen. Washington's chief of staff in the war's final years, and in 1786, Fort Steuben was constructed to protect government surveyors of the Old Northwest Territory. In 1797, the town of Steubenville was founded, becoming one of the earliest settlements in Ohio. By the 20th century, Steubenville had become a center for steel production and coal mining. Notable figures native to Ohio's eastern gateway include Abraham Lincoln's Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton, sports commentator Jimmy the Greek, and entertainer Dean Martin.

Seventeen Park Lane

By: Sandy Lee Carlson

The poems in Seventeen Park Lane explore the spiritual connection between person and place. The collection celebrates the gift of memory. The title comes from the street address of Sandy Lee's grandmother's home in Darien, Connecticut. Carlson says, "My grandmother would fill her home with stories about, past, present, and future in a way that made me feel part of her world and the many things she loved about it. She created a home that was as much a psychological state as a physical one. The house is no longer in the family, but the sense of home stays with me almost 40 years after her passing. This book is my attempt to give voice to the ineffable spirit of home." This is a book about family, love that endures over time and space, and the power of memory to create home wherever we are.

Proof of Causation in Tort Law

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Proof of Causation in Tort Law

By: Sandy Steel

Causation is a foundational concept in tort law: in claims for compensation, a claimant must demonstrate that the defendant was a cause of the injury suffered in order for compensation to be awarded. Proof of Causation in Tort Law provides a critical, comparative and theoretical analysis of the general proof rules of causation underlying the tort laws of England, Germany and France, as well as the exceptional departures from these rules which each system has made. Exploring the different approaches to uncertainty over causation in tort law, Sandy Steel defends the justifiability of some of these exceptions, and categorises and examines the kinds of exceptional rules suggested by the case law and literature. Critically engaged with both the theoretical literature and current legal doctrine, this book will be of interest to private law scholars, judges and legal practitioners.

Overlook

Poems

By: Stephen Sandy

Years in the making, Stephen Sandy’s Overlook gathers themes and occasions that have intrigued the poet throughout his career. This powerful collection explores love and death, success and failure, war and disaster, with appropriate measures of wit and grief. Meditations on life as a game to be completed rather than won juxtapose scenes of individuals confronting the challenges that occur in any life. Sandy balances these texts with poems elegiac in tone, written for friends and family, as in lyrics for his father, and in the masterly “As Smoke Robes Fire.” Poems about art and artists, ranging from Nicolas Poussin and John Constable to Francis Bacon and Philip Guston, round out the collection. Profound and rewarding, Overlook showcases the gifts of a master poet at the height of his powers.

Handbook of Transformative Cooperation

New Designs and Dynamics

By: Sandy Kristin Piderit

Transformative Cooperation (TC) presents new ways for individuals and organizations to partner to create a more sustainable future and take people to a higher stage of moral development. This handbook invites readers to consider how businesses can partner with organizations in other sectors of society, including governments and nonprofits, to address global concerns and improve the lives of all. It documents the need for and early examples of cooperative efforts that have transformed the relationships between corporations and the communities in which their employees live and work. The editors begin by issuing a call for TC, explaining the economic and social reasons for working across traditional organization, national, and international boundaries. The book then goes on to explain the dynamics of transformative cooperation, exploring the leadership characteristics that facilitate the transformation and its social benefits. Throughout this handbook, the editors present some of the best designs in transformative cooperation, and conclude by explaining transformative cooperation as a generative possibility. Overall, the editors and contributors argue that TC is about the search for the best in people, their organizations, and the world around them.

The Two-Headed Whale

Life, Loss, and the Tangled Legacy of Whaling in the Antarctic

By: Sandy Winterbottom

“Urgent and moving.”—Publishers Weekly ★ An elegant blend of "polemic, industrial history, nautical writing, elegy and ecology" (The Scotsman), The Two-Headed Whale charts the tragic history of the post-war whaling industry alongside the author's thrilling memoir of sailing the Antarctic. In 2016, Sandy Winterbottom embarked on an epic six-week tall-ship voyage from Uruguay to Antarctica. At the mid-way stop in South Georgia, her pristine image of the Antarctic was shattered when she discovered the dark legacy of twentieth century industrial-scale whaling. Enraged by what she found, she was quick to blame the men who undertook this wholescale slaughter, but then she stumbled upon the grave of an eighteen-year-old whaler from Edinburgh who she could not allow to bear the brunt of blame. There are two sides to every story. The Two-Headed Whale vividly brings to life the spectacular scenery and wildlife of the vast Southern Oceans, set alongside the true-life story of Anthony Ford, the boy in the grave, as he sailed the same seas and toiled in an industry where profits outranked human life. Drawing together threads of nature and travel writing with an unflinching narrative of life aboard a whaling factory ship and the legacy it left behind, The Two-Headed Whale leaves us questioning our troubled relationship with the extraordinary abundance of this planet. Published in partnership with the David Suzuki Institute.

Intake 131

Memoirs of a Rhodesian Army Cadet

By: Sandy Sanderson

ÿ In 1973, Sandy Sanderson attended School of Infantry in Gwelo, in what was then central Rhodesia, for officer training. Now, more than 40 years on, he has written a book based on the diary he kept. The result is a frank, detailed and sometimes humorous account of the training as it happened. The book will be intriguing to people from all parts of the world with an interest in the military. In June 1977, Time magazine commented, ?Man for man, the Rhodesian Army ranks amongst the world?s finest fighting units?. If this were true the training must surely have contributed. Recruits were trained by some of the toughest and most experienced military instructors in the world, all of whom possessed a varied, if profane, vocabulary. As Sandy put it, ?Any Rhodesian drill instructor could string a sentence together consisting entirely of expletives, apart from the odd indefinite article, and make perfect sense?. In spite of this they were hugely respected and their expertise undoubtedly saved many lives.

Gitchie Girl

The Survivor's Inside Story of the Mass Murders That Shocked The Heartland

By: Phil Hamman,Sandy Hamman

A terrified voice cried out in the night. “Who are you? What do you want? The sound of snapping twigs closed in on the five teenagers enjoying an evening around a glowing campfire at Gitchie Manitou State Park. The night of music and laughter had taken a dark turn. Evil loomed just beyond the tree line, and before the night was over, one of the Midwest’s most horrific mass murders had left its bloodstains spewed across the campsite. One managed to survive and would come to be known as the “Gitchie Girl.” Harrowing memories of the terrifying crime sent her spiraling out of control, and she grasped at every avenue to rebuild her life. Can one man, a rescue dog, and a glimmer of faith salvage a broken soul? This true story will touch your heart and leave you cheering that good can prevail over the depravity of mankind. Through extensive research, interviews, and personal insight, the authors bring a riveting look at the heinous crime that shook the Midwest in the early 1970s. Written from rare, inside interviews with the lone survivor, who broke nearly four decades of silence, this shocking yet moving story will not soon be forgotten.
