Strong Arm Tactics
Signal caller, gunslinger, field general--the quarterback goes by many lofty nicknames. It's arguably the toughest, most high-pressure position to play among all sports. The quarterback touches the ball on every offensive snap, is responsible for reading the defense, adjusting the play, and executing complex schemes that require tremendous physical and mental prowess. He is expected to be the undisputed team leader, whether he's an established veteran or an untested rookie. If he succeeds, he's the most likely player on the field to be canonized by fans and broadcasters. If he fails, he'll be vilified in the press and his home field fans will start cheering for the backup. This book traces t...
When the World Was New and the Bear Had a Long Tail
This is not a traditional autobiography. Its contents are letters I wrote to my wife which she laboriously keyboarded using an antiquated computer. It is my remembrances of my childhood and my adolescence years spent mostly in small towns in Oklahoma-Vanoss, McComb, Tribbey, Depew and Twin Oak. Then on the Texas to Amherst and Fielldton. I also include my early adult years and the experiences I had as I searched for, and sometimes found, both labor and love. The labor included cotton, broomcorn, cement plant in Ada, Okla., the Air Force , painting the tall bridges and buildings In New York and Massachuettsand driving big rigs. The love includes three wives. My sister wanted the title of my book to be, Letters from a Far Away Place. I didn't want to change the title. I'll leave it to my readers to decide where the far away place was. It is not part of my story, at least, not for this book. I now live in East Texas. I own and still drive a big rig but I make short trips in order for my wife to go with me.

Law's Anthropology
Anthropologists have been appearing as key expert witnesses in native title claims for over 20 years. Until now, however, there has been no theoretically-informed, detailed investigation of how the expert testimony of anthropologists is formed and how it is received by judges. This book examines the structure and habitus of both the field of anthropology and the juridical field and how they have interacted in four cases, including the original hearing in the Mabo case. The analysis of background material has been supplemented by interviews with the key protagonists in each case. This allows the reader a unique, insider's perspective of the courtroom drama that unfolds in each case. The book asks, given the available ethnographic research, how will the anthropologist reconstruct it in a way that is relevant to the legal doctrine of native title when that doctrine gives a wide leeway for interpretation on the critical questions.
The American Football League
Unable to buy into an existing team and rebuffed by National Football League owners who had no desire to expand, 27-year-old Lamar Hunt, the son of Texas billionaire H.L. Hunt, formed the American Football League in 1959. He placed his team in Dallas, called them the Texans, and invited other young entrepreneurs to join him. The seven men who did called themselves members of the "Foolish Club," but on September 9, 1960, the AFL made its regular season debut and went on to change the face of football forever. Unlike the NFL, the American Football League featured wide open offenses and innovative coaching strategies, capturing a new generation of fans dedicated to the league and its players. The AFL aggressively pursued college stars--Heisman Trophy winner Billy Cannon in its inaugural season and Joe Namath in 1965. The eight teams signed a collective television agreement that split the money equally among the franchises, thus providing far more stability and balance than earlier start-up leagues. Based on interviews with owners, coaches, players, scouts, broadcasters and writers from the era, this is a colorful account of the AFL and its place in sports history.
