A Coach's Journey: From a Sandlot to the Olympic Stadium is a tale of achievers and underachievers, of impediments and victories. It is a story of the liberating power of risking, expecting, and believing. It is a story to inspire all who strive to be the best that they can be, as seen through the eyes of man who, as a twelve-year-old boy, 'heard them cheering' in the Olympic Stadium, caught a dream, and worked his way to the pinnacle of the athletic world, Coach Ken Foreman is as good as it gets among storytellers. Yes, this is a book for all who are seeking excellence. I am pleased beyond words that others now have the opportunity to share in the wisdom of one who has led by amazing example of what is written in these pages. —Doris Brown Heritage, Former head coach of cross-country and track and field at Seattle Pacific University; world record holder; US Olympic Teams 1968, 1972
Harold Crooks chronicles the history of waste management, showing how an ideology of privatization set the stage for the local refuse collection business to become a global corporate enterprise. The author tracks the emergence of the multinational firms that dominate the business and examines how governments fail to cope with the waste disposal needs of growing populations. He discusses the emergence of a citizens' counter-movement, communities standing up to the troubling consequences of contemporary waste disposal--huge incinerators spewing toxic metals into the atmosphere, dumps that leak toxins into the groundwater, and hazardous waste sites that must be monitored indefinitely. Giants of Garbage is a clear-eyed analysis of one of the largest and most persistent environmental issues facing Canadians today.
For readers who have a dream, want a dream, or have lost a dream, this trailblazing self-management tool masterfully weaves technology, real-life stories, self-reflection, and solid principles in order to steer dreaming into doing. The book is interactive and innovative, including exercises at the end of each chapter, extensive resources to help the dreams continue, and QR codes for readers to scan to view additional video segments. Based on a spoken message series called Imagine, which was addressed to the congregation at the Cathedral of Faith in San Jose, California, Pastor Ken Foreman realized the hunger people have to discover God’s dream for their own lives and to live them out; this book is the roadmap to accomplishing that goal. Inspiring others to dream big with unimaginable results—in their personal lives, professional lives, and in their communities—the book takes readers on a journey as individualized as themselves with beautifully pragmatic instruction, acknowledging the many obstacles and pitfalls that may impede one's vision. Once readers understand that pitfalls are part of the journey, and not just a hindrance, the dream continues.
The oceans represent a vast, complex and poorly understood ecosystem. Marine Ecological Processes is a modern review and synthesis of marine ecology that provides the reader with a lucid introduction to the intellectual concepts, approaches, and methods of this evolving discipline. Comprehensive in its coverage, this book focuses on the processes controlling marine ecosystems, communities, and populations and demonstrates how general ecological principles--derived from terrestrial and freshwater systems as well--apply to marine ecosystems. Global warming and increased eutrophication and wetland destruction in recent years has made the study of ecological processes even more important for the preservation of marine environments. This thoroughly updated and expanded edition will provide students of marine ecology, marine biology, and oceanography with numerous illustrations, examples, and references which clearly impart to the reader the current state of research in this field: its achievements as well as unresolved controversies.

Lutcher High School Football is football that's an attitude - David Richard Lutcher High is always had a legacy of excellence on the gridiron, and since starting football in 1925, many have tried to verbalize that excellence. However, none have offered a better definition than David Richard, a former Lutcher High School star running back and head football coach of the 1983 state champion Bulldogs. The Bulldogs: A History of Lutcher High School Footbal examines how teenage boys for generations have come together through hard work, dedication, and sacrifice to form something greater than the individual sum of their parts - to create an ever-evolving definition of Lutcher Football.
