For years, schoolchildren heard the story of Jean Nicolet's arrival in Wisconsin.

The Life of Ibn Hanbal By Ibn al-Jawzi, Abu al-Faraj Abd al-Rahman ibn Ali, Michael Cooperson (transl.), Garth Fowden
2016 | 480 Pages | ISBN: 1479805300 | PDF | 2 MB
The Life of Ibn Ḥanbal is a translation of the biography of Ibn Hanbal by the Baghdad preacher, scholar, and storyteller Ibn al-Jawzī (d. 597/1200), newly abridged for a paperback readership by translator Michael Cooperson. Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal (d. 241/855), renowned for his profound knowledge of hadiths―the reports of the Prophet's sayings and deeds―is a major figure in the history of Islam. He was famous for living according to his own strict interpretation of the Prophetic model and for denying himself the most basic comforts, even though his family was prominent and his city, Baghdad, was then one of the wealthiest in the world. Ibn Ḥanbal's piety and austerity made him a folk hero, especially after he resisted the attempts of two caliphs to force him to accept rationalist doctrine. His subsequent imprisonment and flogging is one of the most dramatic episodes of medieval Islamic history, and his principled resistance influenced the course of Islamic law, the rise of Sunnism, and the legislative authority of the caliphate. Set against the background of fierce debates over the role of reason and the basis of legitimate government, The Life of Ibn Ḥanbal tells the formidable life tale of one of the most influential Muslims in history. An English-only edition.

Mel Velasquez, "The Intangibles: A Guide to Evaluating the Non Physical Side of the Game of Baseball "
English | ISBN: 1543928102 | 2018 | 94 pages | EPUB | 672 KB
"The Intangibles" is the Ultimate Guide for Evaluating the Non-Physical Side of the Game of Baseball! The term intangible is an abstract word that benefits from clarification. Intangibles are a cluster of non-physical attributes, traits, and habits. Because the concept of an intangible is non-physical, it is a matter of quality rather than quantity. In simple terms, this means intangibles have to be assessed rather than measured. I think we would all agree that measurement of physical attributes is much easier to attain than an assessment of non-physical attributes. This book addresses the challenge to assess the non-physical side of the game of baseball. Baseball Owners, Executive Administrators, General Managers, Managers, Coaches, Scouts, College Recruiters, Parents, Fans, Umpires, The Media, The Players, and everyone else in the baseball world use the term intangibles in reference to a baseball player's non-physical attributes. However, when the term "intangibles" is used are we all talking about the same thing? Are we in the baseball world sure we are applying a consensus meaning with similar sub-categories? The purpose of this book is to clarify the concept and makeup of "the intangibles" for those who need to or like to evaluate baseball talent. An adjacent goal is to provide from a baseball perspective consistency throughout the industry with the utilization of the term intangibles and related terms. Finally, the ultimate goal of this book is to help players assess themselves to make the proper intellectual and emotional adjustments to give themselves the best opportunity to succeed! One more point to note, as you read this book about the non-physical side of the game of baseball, i.e. the mental, the emotional, and even to a degree the spiritual, it is important to understand it is written as a guide and is not to be read as an epic of any sort. It is purposely written as a brief easy read and is to be used as a source of reference that could be revisited as many times as needed. Furthermore, even though this book is written about and for skilled baseball players, much of what is written is transferable to skilled softball players as well as to athletes in general.
