Kicking Dust
In 1939, when my father was twelve years old, little else mattered to him beyond his gang, his street, and the indomitable New York Yankees. In his 85th year, he told me the story of a trip to a ball game, but what I heard was the story of American manhood, and what I learned was how we became great. Set in New Haven, Connecticut, Kicking Dust recounts the adventures of four young Italian and Irish immigrants making their way to the '39 Yankees' World Series game. Andy "Bar" Ferraro, his little brother, Nick "Needles" Ferraro, Jimmy "The Mick" McCarthy, and Fats Mangini are the Wooster Street gang. Their plan, to become Yankees' bat boys, leads them to discover that life can be a pretty dice...
Sea Shanties and Church Songs
Sea Shanties and Church Songs is a testament to love and faith and strength. It is thirteen poems spanning the decade of Andrea Ferraro's 30s that touch on themes of love, and passion, and growth, and death. The magic of poetry is in how the poet shoves and pushes and shaves in an effort to make a giant human condition salient in a hand full of words. These thirteen poems are thirteen bold moments. Moments captured for all their heartbreak or passion or blasphemy. Don't look for classical form or scan lines in hopes of finding brilliant craft; that can be saved for second semester European Lit. These are lovely and simple and wicked and telling and not exactly R-rated, but not to be slipped into one's hymnal either. Enjoy.
The Curse of Cash
The world is drowning in cash--and it's making us poorer and less safe. In The Curse of Cash, Kenneth Rogoff, one of the world's leading economists, makes a persuasive and fascinating case for an idea that until recently would have seemed outlandish: getting rid of most paper money.--Amazon.com.
Atlas of Musculoskeletal Tumors and Tumorlike Lesions
This book reflects the experience of the Rizzoli Orthopedic Institute during more than 100 years of treatment of musculoskeletal tumor and tumorlike lesions. It presents a wide range of lesions from a multidisciplinary perspective, highlighting pertinent clinical, radiological, and histological correlations. Treatment is briefly reported for each entity. In addition, the more recent biomolecular findings of use for diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment are carefully analyzed. The Rizzoli case archive spans more than a century, the first treated case dating back to 28 September 1900, and contains the original material – clinical charts, imaging, paraffin blocks, and histological slides – of more than 40,000 cases, including about 29,000 bone lesions and 11,000 soft tissue lesions. This book reports the most relevant entities and reflects the improvements in knowledge of musculoskeletal tumors as presented during the yearly international course held at the Rizzoli Institute.

Diagnosis of Musculoskeletal Tumors and Tumor-like Conditions
This book, now in a second revised edition, casts light on the often complex diagnosis of musculoskeletal tumors and tumor-like conditions by drawing on the experience of the Rizzoli Orthopedic Institute during more than 100 years of treatment and research in the field. The different entities are described from a multidisciplinary perspective, highlighting clinical, radiological, and histological correlations. Particular emphasis is placed on differential diagnosis, which often needs to take into account nontumoral conditions. The recent identification of further significant biological and genetic features, and the impact of these discoveries on the classification of round cell tumors, vascular lesions, and spindle/pleomorphic entities in bone, is also extensively discussed. The Rizzoli case archive dates back to September 1900 and contains the original material relating to more than 29,000 bone lesions and 11,000 soft tissue lesions. It is a fabulously rich resource, and this book will be invaluable for pathologists, radiologists, and clinicians at all levels of experience.
