Story
In Wildlife Wars, Terry Grosz serves up fascinating stories - alternately hair-raising, hilarious, and heart-wrenching - from his 30-year struggle to protect wildlife in America. A natural storyteller, Grosz writes about the remarkable characters he met - on both sides of the law - as he matched wits with elk poachers, salmon snaggers, commercial-market duck hunters, and a host of other law-breakers. Best of all, though, these stories are so remarkably entertaining you won't want to put them down.

In the most famous scandal of sports history, eight Chicago White Sox players - including Shoeless Joe Jackson - agreed to throw the 1919 World Series to the Cincinnati Reds in exchange for the promise of $20,000 each from gamblers reportedly working for New York mobster Arnold Rothstein. Heavily favored, Chicago lost the Series five games to three. Although rumors of a fix flew while the series was being played, they were largely disregarded by players and the public at large.

Story
When Ball Four was published in 1970, it created a firestorm. Bouton was called a Judas, a Benedict Arnold and a “social leper” for having violated the “sanctity of the clubhouse.” Baseball commissioner Bowie Kuhn tried to force Bouton to sign a statement saying the book wasn’t true. Ballplayers, most of whom hadn’t read it, denounced the book. It was even banned by a few libraries. Almost everyone else, however, loved Ball Four.

When Edmund Hillary first conquered Mt. Everest, Sherpa Tenzing Norgay was at his side. Indeed, for as long as Westerners have been climbing the Himalaya, Sherpas have been the unsung heroes in the background. In August 2008, when eleven climbers lost their lives on K2, the world’s most dangerous peak, two Sherpas survived. They had emerged from poverty and political turmoil to become two of the most skillful mountaineers on earth. Based on unprecedented access and interviews, Buried in the Sky reveals their astonishing story for the first time.

Found a way to be active and love it!
As a former tennis player with bad knees, I was a bit nervous about taking up this sport. But a few weeks in and with this book I actually felt very confident joining my local community center games. I've made a whole new group of friends who want to stay active and I've even gotten stronger and lost some unwanted pounds! The progression from basics to advanced play is spot-on and I really understand the strategies in this book. My Saturday mornings are now my favorite part of the week. Perfect guide for anyone curious about joining the fun.

Great info to understand the sport
I keep hearing about how great pickleball is, but I had no idea what the sport was all about - now I do! I learned about the rules and equipment, but also about how great the pickleball community is. My interest is quite piqued now to go out and find a pickleball game or club to try out the sport because it sounds perfect for me.

Fun new sport
I love tennis and wanted to give this a shot. We have a place that has several pickleball courts. I found this audiobook to learn the ropes, and I am loving it. Yes, it is pretty close to tennis, but the balls have holes, so the bounces are unpredictable. The book itself is well written, and the rules and recommendations for playing are easy to follow. Great guide.
