As Welles mentions in his introduction, Howard Hughes's record-breaking round-the-world flight had taken place just months before and was no doubt still in the public mind. Hughes had not, however broken Phileas Fogg's record of 80. Welles makes an interesting, impatient Fogg, rushing to win his bet accompanied by his long-suffering manservant, whose name he resolutely refuses to pronounce correctly. Hermmann's music is electric, swirling around the performances as they swirl around the world. Welles himself made a TV series in the 1950s entitled Around the World, although he ventured no further than Spain, Italy and a bar in Paris. Days, completing the journey in 91 days. Jules Verne's initially unlovable hero uses all manner of methods to win his bet, and once again Welles gets swept up in the adventure of the whole thing.

Dear Baseball Gods,
I hustled. I worked hard. I played the game the right way. Why did you let this happen?
I sat by beside a tree, staring at the ground, trying to decide what I would do next. The news was unthinkable-everything I worked for was now ruined. A second Tommy John surgery? Does anyone come back from this? What team would want a broken-down, injury-prone right-handed pitcher?
A Story of Perseverance
I had been through a lot already. Starting as a walk-on in college, I had to earn everything. I pitched on three hours sleep; lived in the clubhouse; played for a team that collapsed mid-season; fought through more arm pain than any kid should. I had to keep going. I took a deep breath and gathered up my strength for a second comeback. My story had a special ending...I just knew it.
A Story of Identity
Years later, I was finally forced to hang up my cleats. The next morning, I looked in the mirror and didn't recognize the man peering back. If no longer a ballplayer...who was I? What would I do? How would I get out of bed each morning without baseball as my compass?
When we choose a sport, we don't realize that one day it may both define and consume us.
A Story of The Deeper Side
In this philosophical memoir by former professional baseball player Dan Blewett, you'll learn what it's like to take the field terrified that this game may very well be your last. You'll learn how the mental grind of 140-game seasons, ruthless managers and heart-breaking injuries all take their toll.
But you'll also learn that there's a place at the top for those who were overlooked, counted out and given up on. Strength of will, belief in self, resolve and grit can carry a person through more than he or she realizes.
The Baseball Gods never made it easy...that's for sure.
Zu Hause in den Wolken wird es immer enger und schon macht sich die Regentropfenfamilie auf zur Erde. Dort gruselt sich Plock in den unterirdischen Gängen, rutscht eine turbulente Wasserachterbahn entlang und wird schließlich durch Sonne und Wind in die Wolken zurückgetragen. Abwechslungsreiche Lieder laden zum Musizieren, Singen und Bewegen ein und ganz nebenbei lernen die Zuhörer alles über den Wasserkreislauf.

Born a slave in Maryland, Harriet Tubman knew first-hand what it meant to be someone's property; she was whipped by owners and almost killed by an overseer. It was from other field hands that she first heard about the Underground Railroad which she travelled by herself north to Philadelphia. Throughout her long life (she died at the age of ninety-two) and long after the Civil War brought an end to slavery, this amazing woman was proof of what just one person can do.
New York Times bestselling author Da Chen weaves a deeply moving account of his resolute older sister and their childhood
growing up together during the Chinese Cultural Revolution.
In a small village called Yellow Stone, in southeastern China, Sisi is a model sister, daughter, and student. She brews tea for her grandfather in the morning, leads recitations at school as class monitor, and helps care for her youngest brother, Da.
But when students are selected during a school ceremony to join the prestigious Red Guard, Sisi is passed over. Worse, she is
shamed for her family's past -- they are former landowners who have no place in the new Communist order. Her only escape is
to find work at another school, bringing Da along with her. But the siblings find new threats in Bridge Town, too, and Sisi will face
choices between family and nation, between safety and justice. With the tide of the Cultural Revolution rising, Sisi must decide if
she will swim against the current, or get swept up in the wave.
Bestselling author Da Chen paints a vivid portrait of his older sister and a land thrust into turmoil during the tumultuous Chinese
Cultural Revolution.

Every president started out as a kid! Forget the legends, tall tales, and historic achievements-before they were presidents, the future leaders of the United States had regular-kid problems just like you. John F. Kennedy hated his big brother. Lyndon Johnson pulled pranks in class. Barack Obama was bothered by bullies. And Bill Clinton was crazy clumsy (he once broke his leg jumping rope). Kid Presidents tells all of their stories and more in these hilarious biographies. History has never been this much fun!
