Sudden Deaths in Sports
This work recounts the lives and deaths of athletes who departed the world suddenly and without warning during their playing careers. From slugger Ed Delahanty's fatal plunge into the Niagara River in 1903 to the demise of Dwayne Haskins on a dark Florida highway in 2022, their untimely ends shocked and saddened millions of fans. Many died from injuries sustained in the course of competition. Others met their fate in airplane and motor vehicle crashes, by freak accident and through disease, drug overdose, drowning and suicide. Several were victims of cold-blooded murder. Regardless of how or why they perished, Dale Earnhardt, Len Bias, Thurman Munson, Flo Hyman, the Marshall Thundering Herd and all the rest faced the same merciless truth--there would be no next year.

New Developments in Approximation Theory
This book contains refereed papers which were presented at the Second International Dortmund Meeting on Approximation Theory (IDoMAT '98) at Haus Bommerholz, the conference center of Dortmund University, during the week of February 23-27, 1998. At this conference 50 researchers and specialists from Bulgaria, China, France, Great Britain, Hungary, Israel, Italy, Romania, South Africa and Germany participated and described new developments in the fields of univariate and multivariate approximation theory. The papers cover topics such as radial basis functions, bivariate spline interpolation, subdivision algorithms, multilevel interpolation, multivariate triangular Bernstein bases, Padè approximation, comonotone polynomial approximation, weighted and unweighted polynomial approximation, adaptive approximation, approximation operators of binomial type, quasi-interpolants, generalized convexity and Peano kernel techniques.This research has applications in areas such as computer-aided geometric design, as applied in engineering and medical technology (e.g. computerized tomography).
Historical Dictionary of Skiing
Skiing is one of the oldest modes of transportation known, predating the wheel with dated artifacts to prove its pedigree. Skiing for sport, however, did not become common until about 150 years ago. The first Winter Olympic Games, held in Chamonix, France in 1924, were the first to introduce skiing as a competition. Events were held in both ski jumping and cross-country skiing. With advances in technology and increased leisure time, the popularity of skiing as a sport has risen exponentially since it was first introduced. The Historical Dictionary of Skiing relates the history of the sport through a comprehensive alphabetical dictionary with detailed, cross-referenced entries on key figures, places, competitions, and governing bodies within the sport. Author E. John B. Allen introduces the reader to the history of skiing through a detailed chronology, an introductory essay, appendixes and an extensive bibliography. This book is an excellent access point for researchers, students, and anyone interested in the history of skiing.
