The bestselling historian and journalist James Rosen provides the first comprehensive account of the brilliant and combative Supreme Court justice Antonin Scalia, whose philosophy and judicial opinions defined our legal era. With SCALIA: Rise to Greatness, 1936–1986, the opening installment in a two-volume biography, acclaimed reporter and bestselling historian James Rosen provides the first comprehensive account of the life of Justice Antonin Scalia, whose singular career in government—including three decades on the Supreme Court—shaped American law and society in the twenty-first century. Decades in the making, Rise to Greatness tells the story of the kid from Queens who became the first Italian American on the Court and one of the most profoundly influential figures of our time. This volume takes us from Scalia’s birth to his ascension to the Court, providing a fresh and probing look at his Catholic upbringing and education; his stints in academia and published works, some of them obscure and long-overlooked; and his service in the Nixon and Ford administrations, when Scalia played a central role in reforming the U.S. intelligence community and in the approval of sensitive covert operations. Deeply researched and based on unparalleled access to documentary and personal sources, and written with an intellectual rigor and wit befitting its subject, Rosen’s narrative reads like a novel while presenting startling new insight into the life, mind, career, faith, and legacy of the man whom family and friends called “Nino.” The result is a compelling portrait of an American legend with whom the author personally corresponded, broke bread, drank wine, and braved the streets of the capital as a (nervous) passenger in the justice’s famously speedy BMW. Rosen has unearthed previously unpublished writing from every phase of Scalia’s career, including private Supreme Court emails, and has interviewed Scalia’s family, classmates, students, colleagues from the Nixon, Ford, and Reagan administrations, priests, poker buddies, hunting companions, and fellow judges and justices. Rise to Greatness is a landmark of modern biography, a rich and moving study, accessible to lay readers, that brings to life a towering figure of American history. It is the book Scalia fans, and all citizens interested in history and the law, have long awaited.

"Do you wish you would exercise more? Are you too busy or just hate to exercise? Do you want to be healthier, but you lack willpower? Lots of books can teach you physical fitness, but you will not find one like this that is totally focused on the psychology of "how to make yourself exercise." Information on fitness is useless unless you actually make yourself get out the door and be physical. My purpose is to make you an exerciser. To make you more physically fit is a bonus."

The Strong Man is the first full-scale biography of John N. Mitchell, the central figure in the rise and ruin of Richard Nixon and the highest-ranking American official ever convicted on criminal charges. As U.S. attorney general from 1969 to 1972, John Mitchell stood at the center of the upheavals of the late sixties. The most powerful man in the Nixon cabinet, a confident troubleshooter, Mitchell championed law and order against the bomb-throwers of the antiwar movement, desegregated the South’s public schools, restored calm after the killings at Kent State, and steered the commander-in-chief through the Pentagon Papers and Joint Chiefs spying crises. After leaving office, Mitchell survived the ITT and Vesco scandals—but was ultimately destroyed by Watergate. With a novelist’s skill, James Rosen traces Mitchell’s early life and career from his Long Island boyhood to his mastery of Wall Street, where Mitchell''s innovations in municipal finance made him a power broker to the Rockefellers and mayors and governors in all fifty states. After merging law firms with Richard Nixon, Mitchell brilliantly managed Nixon’s 1968 presidential campaign and, at his urging, reluctantly agreed to serve as attorney general. With his steely demeanor and trademark pipe, Mitchell commanded awe throughout the government as Nixon’s most trusted adviser, the only man in Washington who could say no to the president. Chronicling the collapse of the Nixon presidency, The Strong Man follows America’s former top cop on his singular odyssey through the criminal justice system—a tortuous maze of camera crews, congressional hearings, special prosecutors, and federal trials. The path led, ultimately, to a prison cell in Montgomery, Alabama, where Mitchell was welcomed into federal custody by the same men he had appointed to office. Rosen also reveals the dark truth about Mitchell’s marriage to the flamboyant and volatile Martha Mitchell: her slide into alcoholism and madness, their bitter divorce, and the toll it all took on their daughter, Marty. Based on 250 original interviews and hundreds of thousands of previously unpublished documents and tapes, The Strong Man resolves definitively the central mysteries of the Nixon era: the true purpose of the Watergate break-in, who ordered it, the hidden role played by the Central Intelligence Agency, and those behind the cover-up. A landmark of history and biography, The Strong Man is that rarest of books: both a model of scholarly research and savvy analysis and a masterful literary achievement.

Pressure-induced pain is an important parameter in skiing safety. Pain is a complex phenomenon that includes not only the sensations evoked by tissue-damaging stimuli, but also the subject''s response to those stimuli. Alpine skiers are willing to undergo "pain and discomfort" from their ski boots in order to improve their skiing performance. In this study, pressure-induced pain was applied to various areas of the foot and leg: the lateral and medial malleoli, the instep, the heads of the first and fifth metatarsals, the tibia, and the heel. The first six areas are regions of bony prominences, while the heel is an area that can undergo soft tissue damage from skiing in tight-fitting boots. Reliable and objective verbal descriptor pain scales have been developed that separate pain into two dimensions: the sensory and the affective. The sensory scale relates to the sensory discriminative aspects of pain, while the affective scale relates to the motivational and emotional aspects of pain. The pain-inducing pressure was applied with a hand-held plunger, in two testing sessions, one week apart. In one session the sensory scale was used, which contains such terms as weak and intense, and in the other session the affective scale was used, which uses such terms as unpleasant and excruciating. In each case, the subject determined the maximum value of force to be applied by indicating to the tester that the pain sensations were either "intense" or "excruciating." At that time the force was removed and, later, random percentages (including a repeat application) of this subject-determined maximum force were applied to the same locations on the foot and leg of the same subject. Analysis of the data show this method to be a reliable technique for applying pressure-induced pain. A total of 15 subjects were used for the sensory testing session and 13 of those 15 for the affective testing. There were significant differences between locations of the foot and leg, with the tibia being the most sensitive and the heel the least sensitive.
