Wrestling is a nondiscriminatory sport where size and gender do not matter. It is, without a doubt, the hardest sport in which to compete and boasts the best conditioned athletes in the world. The 1980s produced a group of American wrestlers unmatched in history that included eleven nominees to the NCAA 75th Anniversary Wrestling Team; thirty-three, four-time All-Americans; seven of the top nine wrestlers in history; and five amateur wrestlers who accounted for seven NCAA titles, three Olympic gold medals, six world gold medals, and forty-one United States national championships. In his tribute to the Golden Era of Amateur Wrestling, award-winning sportswriter Reginald Rowe shines a light on the era's most dominant athletes that include Mean Gene (Mills) the Pinning Machine as he embarked on his quest for Olympic gold that was ended by President Carter and launched an all-out war against an Iranian wrestler. Also profiled is Andre Metzger, the winningest wrestler in history who warned the wrestling world of John DuPont's insanity; Tim Vanni, also known as Mr. Perseverance; and Rick Stewart who pinned Dave Schultz in the 1981 NCAA finals. Included are poignant remembrances of Schultz by men who wrestled with and against him. The Golden Era of Amateur Wrestling: 1980s shares stories and statistics that pay tribute to the greatest collegiate and international wrestlers ever produced in the United States.

It is the early 1600s as a cumbersome longboat labors toward the distant shore of a North American bay. As its huddled occupants are pulled toward the first parlay between the Englishmen and the leadership of the Choptank Indians, the men brace against the cold and quietly contemplate an uncertain future. Aboard the Phyllis Redoubtable is Master Edward Wingfield, perpetual bachelor and the first president of the Jamestown settlement, as well as six other men with various talents and goals. After Wingfield finally finds a landing site, he and his men venture ashore where they build a compound and eventually sail across the estuary to meet the local natives. As a relationship develops between the white men and the tribe, their cultures intertwine through young love and brotherhood. When the Englishmen and the natives begin having premonitions of a brutal war, they quickly implement a plan of survival. As the first signs of danger creep over the horizon, the natives and the Englishmen have no idea they are about to learn the value of freedom, love, and hope for their future. Children of the Bluefish shares the exciting tale of a crew of Englishmen and a native people as their worlds collide during the seventeenth century and highlight a perilous existence driven by adventure, ambition, and real challenges to survive.

El sol sale todos los días y se asoma por la ventana para saludarnos. ¡Pero qué flojera levantarnos! ¡Está tan calientita la cama! Entonces, de un rincón de nuestra imaginación, aparece entre luces y brillos Mi Hada Maga, lista para ayudarnos a vivir con sonrisas este día que apenas comienza.Esperanza, felicidad, amor por la vida y entusiasmo es lo que transmite este poema encantador, bellamente ilustrado, que, por cierto, le habla no solamente a los pequeños sino a ese niño, o niña, que todos llevamos dentro.Porque en cada ser humano habita un Hada maga que nos dice: "¡Vamos, despierta, te han regalado un nuevo día! ¿No piensas aprovecharlo?".

This glorification of nature, in general incorporates themes of Darwinian evolution through natural selection, extending to investigation of the origin of life from elements made in the stars, to contemplation of consciousness, self-awareness, laws of nature (physics) and probabilities of exact duplication of life-forms (including man) over stretches of time and planetary realms (our punctuated immortality). Overall, there is celebration of the gift of life through each incarnation of birth, death and rebirth in view of science and thoughts of spirituality. The subsuming principle throughout is "love," from its haven in the light of dreams to magnanimous configurations that sustain the ethos of humanity.And life's summation can be visualized in the dream-light from the poem "Rainbow;"The wave of color binds our sentiments before it fades.For each emotion, is a subtlety in hue expressed,And through life's noble journey, may we add these tints and shadesTo vivid cast a rainbow in prismatic lightbeams blessed.Ephemeral are the tones of life bestowed on halcyon skies,When heralded by the rainbow arched above its golden eyes.Or from dreams in the creation of legacy and, ultimately, a consummation of the human species. How privileged we are with self-awareness,To momentary glean the cosmic splendorAs part of visions, doubts and thoughts of fairness,Of how the human species may engenderA code of ethics, and historic renderOur consummation--carbon based, which castUnto the void of time and space, would tenderEthos and quintessence of our pastAnd future legacies, should dreams survive steadfast. --from "Enlightenment of Mankind"
