How To Get Out of Any Parking Ticket
ABOUT THE BOOK The cost of a parking ticket is no laughing matter. Particularly for those living in urban areas, parking ticket expenses can add up quickly and put a serious dent in one’s budget. Additionally, recent studies have given support to anecdotal evidence that parking fees often increase substantially following poor economic times for cities and municipalities. This can lead to sticker shock for someone who receives their first parking ticket in a number of years. While in some instances it may be true that “You can’t fight City Hall,” it doesn’t mean that fighting a parking ticket is always a pointless endeavor. For those willing to put in a little bit of effort in expla...

Biography of Barry Bonds
ABOUT THE BOOK Barry Bonds: the mere mention of his name evokes passionate memories for sports fans across the world. For many, the name also brings to mind some of the most jaw-dropping displays of athleticism in the history of professional baseball. Many casual baseball fans view Bonds as an extraordinary baseball talent, yet the memory of that talent will always be overshadowed by his admitted (accidental) use of steroids (according to leaked grand jury testimony). The more statistically-inclined baseball fans view Bonds, and more specifically his career statistics, as almost inhuman. For those who followed his career closely from start to finish, Bonds was a complicated, brooding figure ...
The Pete Rose Scandal: How the All-Time Hits Leader Ruined Baseball
For the vast majority of professional baseball players, how they will be remembered by fans has been determined by the last time they leave the playing field. However, for Peter Edward Rose, despite holding one of baseball's most hallowed record of most career hits, his legend changed greatly following his playing career and, to a certain extent, is still being written today. Rose had a playing career that rivals just about any other professional baseball player in the last 100 years. He collected 4,256 hits in his 24 years of playing. He played in 6 World Series, while winning 3 of them. He played in 17 All-Star Games, and was selected while playing 5 different positions (also a record). Rose also served as one of the few player-managers in baseball history.

Danica Patrick: A Biography
ABOUT THE BOOK Danica Patrick has learned to survive in a man’s world. Since she was 16 years old, when she moved from Illinois to England to compete in various British national car racing series events, it seemed inevitable that she would be going toe to toe with the best (male) race car drivers in the world.

Detroit Tigers 1984
The 1984 Detroit tigers roared out of the gate, winning their first nine games of the season and compiling an eye-popping 35-5 record after the campaign’s first 40 games--still the best start ever for any team in major league history. The tigers led wire-to-wire in 1984, becoming only the third team in the modern era of the majors to have done so. And Detroit’s determination and tenacity resulted in a sweep of the Kansas City Royals in the AL playoffs and a five-game triumph over the San Diego Padres in the World Series. And Tigers fans will tell you that the bottom of the eighth inning in Game Five was the first time Kirk Gibson hit an iconic home run in the Fall Classic. Detroit Tigers 1984: What a Start! What a Finish!, an effort by the society of American Baseball research’s BioProject Committee, brings together biographical profiles of every Tiger from that magical season, plus those of field management, top executives, the broadcasters--even venerable Tiger Stadium and the city itself.
