"This isn''t just a story about baseball. It''s about life and the beauty of knowing and accepting who you are." --Jeff Passan, ESPN baseball columnist This fascinating book chronicles the unsung men of baseball who serve the job, the hardships they face, and their love for a game that would not always love them back―told partly through the experiences of an MLB veteran.u200b In baseball there are superstars and stars and everyday players and then there are the rest. Within the rest are role players and specialists and journeymen and then there are the backup catchers. The Tao of the Backup Catcher is about them, the backup catchers, who exist near the bottom of the roster and the end of the bench and between the numbers in a sport-and a society-increasingly driven by cold, hard analytics. The Tao of the Backup Catcher is a story of grown men who once dreamed of stardom and generational wealth. Instead, they were handed a broom and a deeper understanding of who wins and why, who stands tall and who folds, and who will invest their own lives in catching bullpens and the back ends of doubleheaders. Backup catchers survive in part because every team needs one. They are necessary, once or twice a week. They prosper because the game, like the world around the game, still needs good souls, honest efforts, open eyes and ears, closed mouths, compassion for the sad parts, a laugh for the silly parts, and a heart that knows the difference. Backup catchers are sports'' big brothers, psychologists, priests, witch doctors, player coaches, father figures and drinking buddies, all wrapped in a suit of today''s polycarbonate armor and yesterday''s dirt. They come with a singular goal-to win baseball games. They play for the greater good. After that, they play for themselves. A reverie on loving the grind and the little things baseball can teach us, The Tao of the Backup Catcher profiles Erik Kratz, Josh Paul, AJ Ellis, Bobby Wilson, Drew Butera, Matt Treanor, and John Flaherty to name a few. "This isn''t just a story about baseball. It''s about life and the beauty of knowing and accepting who you are." ―Jeff Passan

Fully illustrated description of London’s well known, and lesser known, places that have been lost over recent decades.

Il mito dell’innovazione è che le idee geniali saltino fuori già confezionate dalla mente dei geni. La realtà è che la maggior parte delle innovazioni deriva da un rigoroso processo di analisi e approfondimento attraverso il quale le grandi intuizioni vengono identificate e sviluppate, prima di essere realizzate come nuove offerte e capabilities. Introdotto più di dieci anni fa, il metodo del Design Thinking è oggi parte integrante della cassetta degli attrezzi di imprese e organizzazioni innovative in tutto il pianeta. Un successo dovuto soprattutto al lavoro di ideo, azienda faro nel campo della strategia e del design fondata da Tim Brown. Attraverso questa sua celebre guida visionaria – aggiornata per la seconda edizione con recenti case study e una nuova Introduzione – Brown ci illumina su come il pensiero progettuale non sia applicabile solo alle cosiddette industrie creative: le tecniche e le pratiche del design appartengano a ogni livello di business e di innovazione sociale. Change by Design ci spiega il Design Thinking come un processo collaborativo che impiega la sensibilità e i metodi del designer per far coincidere le esigenze delle persone non solo con ciò che è tecnicamente fattibile, ma anche con ciò che è praticabile e sostenibile. Change by Design non è un libro di designer per designer; è un libro per leader creativi che cercano di infondere il pensiero progettuale in ogni livello di un’organizzazione, di un prodotto o di un servizio per creare nuove alternative per il business e la società.

A Christian''s ultimate goal is to be changed, to be transformed into the image of Jesus. But what does that look like? How is that accomplished? Jesus promised that the Father would send the Holy Spirit, Who when He had come, would indwell the believer and empower them to do His works. The ministry of the Spirit in the life of the saints is just as real and valid today as it was two thousand years ago!Part of the Spirit''s ministry is to enable the believer to speak in unknown tongues supernaturally. However, there is a great deal of confusion and controversy about this issue. There are varying opinions from one extreme to the other. One extreme says that tongues are of the devil, and though it once was in the Church, it has since passed away. Then there''s a more moderate view that says some may speak in tongues, but it''s not for everyone. Then there''s the other extreme that says unless you speak in tongues you aren''t really saved.On the other hand, many of those who do speak in tongues have made it seem spooky and have treated it like some kind of badge of honor, when, in fact, speaking in tongues is very practical and has tremendous value! What are we to do, then, with these extreme views? Does the Bible have anything to say about it? Should we give speaking in tongues prominence today, or should we throw it out like last week''s old banana peels?In "Unction and Utterance" Tim Brown takes a biblical and constructive approach to answer these questions about this controversial topic. In its pages, you''ll learn:*19 biblical reasons for speaking in tongues* Did the Early Church give prominence to speaking in tongues?* How can tongues benefit us today* Why God chose tongues as a means to accomplish His plan* And much more!
