New Releases by Sean Ryan

Viviana Papadakis needs to tell you something. Dinosaurs are still alive. Don''t freak out. Sometimes extinct animals pop into the present - long story how. Viv''s family business is wrestling them into submission (not literally, she''s tiny) before they eat anyone...or go viral. From a homemade underground complex in Nevada, her team dashes around the world, keeping triceratops and dragons from the public eye. (Dragons are real, by the way.) Viv doesn''t need her life to get more interesting...but it will. A college flame, Ethan, has joined the team. Challenging missions - from Japan to Mexico to Ukraine - will pit her against the largest creatures that have ever walked the earth. A legend from the old West will appear ...and he''s not bad looking. The most dangerous figure of all, though, is someone from the distant past with a plan to destroy the world in order to save it.

Jake and Cole were looking for an easy way to make money to buy ice cream on a hot day. Jake''s grandma said she would pay them to walk her bulldog, Ditzy. The walk was normal until a discovered map and a spin of the merry-go-round. Next thing they knew, Jake, Cole and Ditzy were in an unfamiliar land. Jake and Cole discovered that dog walking is more of an adventure than they expected!

The Fantasy Football Almanac Last Updated On 7/27/2023 and includes analysis on DeAndre Hopkins signing with the Titans! Have you noticed most 2023 Fantasy Football Magazines and Fantasy Football Books tend to recycle the same information, the same sleepers and the same tiers? This is because they''re all using the same information: last year''s stats! A few years ago, I was like everyone else. I scoured the Internet and Fantasy Football publications searching for any advantage. I found myself reading 10-15 different books that all wound up telling me the same thing. Making things worse - they were telling all of my competition as well. That''s when "sleeper" picks become overhyped and over drafted. To avoid draft day misses, I knew I had to dig into the data. I knew I had to watch film and after a while, I came to realize Fantasy Football success comes from knowing the offensive schemes and how a player''s talents will be used in an offense. This is why the Fantasy Football Almanac projects players based on scheme fit, not past performance. Think about this. If all my Fantasy Football Almanac and Draft Guide did was tell you about one undervalued player who is so far forgotten you could draft him and start him in the last round, would it be worth it? Or if all this Fantasy Football Almanac and Draft Guide did was keep you from using your draft day picks on season-long busts? This is more than a fantasy football magazine. It''s a fantasy football scouting agency. We blend next-gen sports analytics with good old fashion film study. I literally watch every single preseason game in order to properly calibrate this guide''s rankings throughout the offseason. That''s right, The Fantasy Football Almanac and Draft Guide comes with FREE updates. You don''t have to pay $5 a month to access them. If you buy the book, we have you covered. Included Within: 390+ detailed player writeups with three-year statistical progression included Instructions on how to interact with the author throughout the offseason Over half of the league has a new head coach or offensive coordinator. How does this impact fantasy potential? Sean shares insights based on film study and statistical analysis to project the impact of new offensive schemes. We''ve updated our algorithms to include play calling tendency of coaching staffs Other guides use historical data to project their totals. The Fantasy Football Almanac and Draft Guide is the only fantasy football magazine that utilizes scouting for future rankings. Our draft strategy is primed to maximize the value of every draft pick. Defense and Kicker analysis has been completed to identify competitive advantage at these positions, which are commonly ignored We''ve completed an easy-to-follow draft guide with useful tips for fantasy football rookies and fantasy football experts alike Overall player "tiers" definition (which is more useful for draft strategy when playing in leagues with multiple team counts) Expanded sleeper list that is rooted in scouting, coaching analysis and analytics. You won''t find these players in other guides! Risky players list, which identifies popular players that carry risk, are over-drafted based on our analysis and/or carry significant bust potential Fantasy Rankings for different league types: PPR, Non-PPR, 1/2 PPR, SuperFlex/Two QB, Dynasty, Rookie-only drafts and IDP We track 2023 offseason movement, coaching changes and draft selections

Carnage réapparaît sur Terre et , en s''associant à Norman Osborn, il s''en prend à toutes les personnes ayant un jour fusionné avec un symbiote.

En plus des écrits de Nick Spencer, retrouvez un numéro inédit mettant en avant le Bouffon Rouge, un super-vilain qui avait marqué les esprits lors du grand fi nal du run de Dan Slott.

Updated June 11th and includes analysis of the Julio Jones Trade! Have you noticed most 2021 Fantasy Football Magazines and Fantasy Football Books tend to recycle the same information, the same sleepers and the same tiers? This is because they''re all using the same information: last year''s stats! Last year''s stats won''t tell you how Justin Herbert will acclimate to his new offense or what new head coach Arthur Smith or the trade of Julio Jones will impact the Falcons offense. A few years ago, I was like everyone else. I scoured the Internet and Fantasy Football publications searching for any advantage. I found myself reading 10-15 different books that all wound up telling me the same thing. Making things worse - they were telling all of my competition as well. That''s when "sleeper" picks become overhyped and over drafted. To avoid draft day misses, I knew I had to dig into the data. I knew I had to watch film and after a while, I came to realize Fantasy Football success comes from knowing the offensive schemes and how a player''s talents will be used in an offense. This is why (as my Fantasy Football Book predicted) Josh Allen flourished last year. Think about this. If all my Fantasy Football Almanac and Draft Guide did was tell you about one sleeper who is so far forgotten you could draft him and start him in the last round, would it be worth it? My readers who picked up J.K. Dobbins and Antonio Gibson in the middle rounds last year certainly think so. Or if all this Fantasy Football Almanac and Draft Guide did was keep you from using your draft day picks on season-long busts? This is more than a fantasy football magazine. It''s a fantasy football scouting agency. We blend next-gen sports analytics with good old fashion film study. I literally watch every single preseason game in order to properly calibrate this guide''s rankings throughout the offseason. That''s right, The Fantasy Football Almanac and Draft Guide comes with FREE updates. You don''t have to pay $5 a month to access them. If you buy the book, we have you covered. Included Within: 300 detailed player writeups with three year statistical progression included Instructions on how to interact with Sean throughout the offseason Over half of the league has a new head coach or offensive coordinator.

Get in Gear: The Seven Gears that Drive Strategy to Results (978-0-367-47149-1, 335422) Shelving Guide: Business and Management/Leadership/Strategy Only 10% to 25% of organizations get it right when it comes to achieving the expected results from their strategic planning. This means 75% to 90% of them are leaving results on the table and wasting their time on things that don’t matter. Almost a decade ago, a major steel manufacturer approached Sean Ryan and his team to help them think through how to better convert strategy to results. This was the catalyst for the seven gears that translate strategy to results found in Strategy-Execution-Results (SXRTM). Why Gears? Gears transmit energy. The more aligned they are and the less friction in their chain, the better they function. Leaders can easily identify the gear creating the most friction and then take action to better align that gear with the strategy generating better results. This creates momentum to improve the alignment and performance of other gears. This approach also emphasizes the ways everyone in the organization has some influence over every gear. Based on Sean Ryan’s consulting and training with organizations from start-ups to the Fortune 100, he’s found that these performance gears drive better results. You’ll employ them to align your goals with your strategy, create visible scorecards to know whether or not you’re on track, and identify the critical behaviors and actions that will drive performance. Readers will use this book to point their efforts toward getting meaningful results from their strategy. As noted in the Harvard Business Review: "The prize for closing the strategy-performance gap is huge: increasing performance by at least 50% for most organizations." After moving beyond their initial amazement of just how misaligned they were, they’ll be able to quickly apply the seven gears to sell better and more, drive down costs, improve quality and safety, and recruit talent for the future. In addition, there’s nothing in this book that has not been applied in actual business settings. While companies could use the SXRTM Framework to overhaul their organization top to bottom, they’ll also appreciate that they don’t have to change everything at once to make progress. Upon understanding each of the gears and how to create Follow-up and Follow-through, they’ll be able to improve any gear to start seeing strategic outcomes. You’ve got it in Gear, now Stay in Gear.

As we approach a new generation of students entering college during the first time in history where multiple generations have to work together, the art of conversations is important more than ever. In order for cross-generation communication and success to occur, there has to be an understanding and willingness between generations to be vulnerable and rethink their egotism. Dive into Sean''s 7 steps on becoming a better conversationalist. Each chapter outlines different stories and information that, in my experience, allowed me to become a better conversationalist with my friends, students, and professionals. At the conclusion of each chapter are questions and writing activities I encourage you to do before reading the next chapter to help you reflect on your own experiences.

This is more than a Fantasy Football Almanac and Draft Guide. The Functional Sportsaholic and Gold Standard Sports Forecasting have teamed up to provide the most intense and thorough research which combines next-gen analytics, statistical analysis, algorithmic forecasting and good old fashioned film analysis. We blend analytics and player scouting.This Almanac offers several exclusive tools. Our time-proven methodology analyzes each individual player''s match up in every game this season in order to come up with the most accurate point projections today. Along with these match ups, we analyze the play calling of every NFL coaching staff to identify what opportunity each player will have. For example, much has been made of Tampa Bay drafting RB Ronald Jones II this past season. While he''s very talented, the only way to know how many rushing attempts he''ll have is to cross analyze Tampa Bay''s schedule with Dirk Koetter''s offensive scheme. This may sound a bit to "mathy". I''ve noticed that many analytical sports books are so proud of their equations that they continuously punch their readers in the face with them. This isn''t math class. This isn''t a dissertation. Fantasy football is first, and foremost, a hobby (or passion) for our readers. This is supposed to be FUN! The Functional Sportsaholic''s 2018 Fantasy Football Almanac and Draft Guide is an easy read. As you can see in our sample pages, the information is presented in a well-organized, easy to consume way.Included Within:* Over half of the league has a new head coach or offensive coordinator. How does this impact fantasy potential? o We''ve updated our algorithms to include play calling tendency of coaching staffso We''ve adjusted overall fantasy values with these tools to provide the smartest and most accurate fantasy football forecasts in the market* Defense and Kicker analysis has been completed to identify competitive advantage at these positions, which are commonly ignored* We''ve completed an easy to follow draft guide with useful tips for fantasy football rookies and fantasy football experts alike* Detailed analysis of offseason player movement* Team-by-team 2017 reports, 2018 offseason analysis and 2018 performance forecasts* Overall player "tiers" definition (which is more useful for draft strategy when playing in leagues with multiple team counts)o Over 40 Sleepers Categorized by Grades (undervalued players, sleepers everyone will know about by draft day, deep sleepers which aren''t as obvious, and finally, hibernators that you''ll be able to either draft or add to your initial waiver watch list)* Fantasy Rankings for different league types: Points-per-Reception (PPR), Standard/non-PPR and Rookies (for Dynasty Leagues)* Fantasy Draft Tracking Worksheets

Get ready for this summer’s anticipated movie SUICIDE SQUAD with the comics that inspired the film, including fan-favorite characters Harley Quinn, Deadshot and Captain Boomerang! THE WORLD’S WORST HEROES HAVE GONE ROGUE! Task Force X team members Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Captain Boomerang, Black Manta and Parasite are killers being given a chance to do good for the U.S. government...not that they have a choice. One step out of line and their handler, Amanda Waller, can set off their surgically implanted bombs. But if they play along, this “Suicide Squad” might just be their shot at redemption. When Waller discovers that Task Force X is being manipulated by a shadowy corporate conspiracy, she decides to take her team off the grid. Now, without their bombs to keep them in check, the only thing keeping the world’s worst heroes from becoming full-blown villains again is their desire to see justice served. Will that be enough to keep Waller’s former prisoners from killing their jailer? NEW SUICIDE SQUAD VOL. 3: FREEDOM collects NEW SUICIDE SQUAD #13-16 and SUICIDE SQUAD MOST WANTED: DEADSHOT AND KATANA, by writer Sean Ryan (FLASHPOINT: GRODD OF WAR) and artist Philipe Briones (UNCANNY X-FORCE), and also featuring Brian Buccellato (DETECTIVE COMICS), Mike W. Barr (BATMAN: SON OF THE DEMON), Viktor Bogdanovic (BATMAN: ARKHAM KNIGHT) and Diogenes Neves (BATMAN/SUPERMAN).

Deciding what user impacts are natural or unnatural has inspired much debate. Biophysically, moose cause similar kinds of soil and vegetation impacts as hikers. Yet moose are the sign of nature while hikers are the sign of damage. The field of outdoor recreation is beset with paradoxes, and this book presents a unique, alternative framework to address these dilemmas. Examining outdoor recreation through the lens of ecological theory, Ryan draws from theorists such as Foucault, Derrida and Latour. The book explores minimum impact strategies designed to protect and enhance ecological integrity, but that also require a disturbing amount of policing of users, which runs counter to the freedom users seek. Recent ecological theory suggests that outdoor recreation''s view of nature as balanced when impacts are removed is outdated and incorrect. What is needed, and indeed Ryan presents, is a paradoxical and ecological view of humans as neither natural nor unnatural, a view that embraces some traces in nature.

Writer Sean Ryan (NOVA) and artist Philippe Briones (CAPTAIN AMERICA CORPS) set villain against villain in an epic battle for the greater good in NEW SUICIDE SQUAD VOL. 2: MONSTERS!

With countless innocent lives at stake, there’s only one team ready to handle this new terrorist threat: Deadshot. Black Manta. Captain Boomerang. Harley Quinn. Reverse Flash. Parasite. It’s up to Amanda Waller’s Task Force X to destroy this terrorist organization from the inside, and that means going deep undercover. They’re being sent far behind enemy lines to face a foe like nothing they’ve ever encountered. And if they don’t all make it back? That’s why they’re called the Suicide Squad.

Setting the world’s most dangerous super-criminals against the most insidious threats to national security: that’s the idea behind the elite black-ops unit officially designated as Task Force X. It’s perfect…on paper. But the real world rarely goes according to plan. Threats evolve. Teammates turn on each other. Blood and betrayals flow like rivers. And that’s why Task Force X is better known as the Suicide Squad. Vic Sage aims to change the equation. Replacing Amanda Waller as the puppet-master of Suicide Squad’s motley crew, he’s introducing wild cards like Deathstroke and the Joker’s Daughter to whip the existing team—Deadshot, Harley Quinn, and Black Manta—into shape. But the world’s deadliest assassin and the Clown Princess of Crime have ideas of their own…and no explosive implants to keep them in line. Can this new Suicide Squad survive—or will it implode before it even begins? Find out in NEW SUICIDE SQUAD: PURE INSANITY, the first action-packed chapter of an all new Suicide Squad saga by writer Sean Ryan (BATMAN, SUICIDE SQUAD) and an elite squad of artists!
