By the time of his retirement in 1928, Ty Cobb had set ninety major league baseball records, many of which — including twelve batting titles and a .367 lifetime batting average — remain unsurpassed to this day. He was also a member of the first group of legends inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Fiercely competitive and aggressive in his play, Cobb attracted controversy throughout his career. In this memoir, he reflects on a tumultuous era in baseball history as he recounts highlights from his twenty seasons with the Detroit Tigers. The baseball legend offers observations and advice to players on hitting, stealing signs, base running, and other aspects of the game, along with assessments of his teammates and other contemporaries. Cobb's candid reminiscences address his reputation for spiking opponents on the base paths and his suspension for attacking an abusive fan, an incident that led to the first professional baseball strike and the formation of the earliest players' union. Unlike the usual ghostwritten sports autobiographies, this narrative consists of Cobb's own words. Each chapter originally appeared as part of a newspaper serial in 1925, while the author was an active player. A rediscovered gem of sports history, this edition is the first commercial publication of Cobb's recollections in book form.

Political intrigue, foreign policy gamesmanship, frame jobs, espionage, and murder- all in a day's work in the West Wing.Attorney Mark Pharaoh Rutherford has it all- a law career, a shining political future, and an impeccable pedigree handed down to him by a powerful, absentee father. However, this façade of success comes crashing down in a sea of alcohol, which forces him to confront his traumatic past to embrace the potential of a recovered life. His shaky new sobriety creates for him a new lease on life, if he can maintain it. In his rebound from addiction, his sharp mind secures him a position in the White House where he gains the trust of the controversial, cult-of-personality President. But he soon questions the effectiveness of his work there and his association with questionable politicos leaves him knee-deep in a clandestine assassination plot. With time ticking down to zero hour, he must decide if he will pull the trigger? or find another way.

Published in 1914, Busting 'Em was the first of three books credited to Ty Cobb as the author. Though in fact it was ghostwritten by John N. Wheeler, who also penned Mathewson's Pitching in a Pinch, the book fascinates with its insights into Cobb as a public figure. The reader is presented Cobb's explanation of the beating incident at Hilltop Park, the Baker spiking, and his contentious relationship with teammates. His thoughts - or those he sanctioned - of umpires, his contemporaries, crowds, and strategy are also shared. This book, long out of print and increasingly hard to find, is essential reading for those who would understand Cobb's awareness of and investment in the shape of his public image.

Another Cajun Cookbook? What’s so different about this one? Well I’ve taken my fairly traditional Cajun (born & raised) family’s favorite recipes and revisited them with two goals. My first goal was to define `my` style of cooking. It is rooted deep in the Cajun Bayou Country of Louisiana, and as a cooking style I have tried to strongly reflect two principles. "K. I. S. S." -- Keep it simple stupid. and Use good ingredients and just don't screw them up. With that in mind, I wanted a set of recipes that were authentic, primarily from scratch, tasted great, and could be easily prepared by the home cook in today’s modern family’s busy lifestyle. No unnecessary difficult steps, and no hard-to-find ingredients. Second goal, was as a parent and 'home' cook, I needed recipes that my family and friends enjoyed to eat. This goal allows me to add some variety to the cookbook. Many of the recipes stem from my culinary training, cooking in restaurants, and my own catering/personal chef business rewritten for the home cook. I hope that this cookbook can get today’s busy family to begin cooking more at home, from scratch, instead of just going out for dinner. I believe these fairly simple recipes will prove that a simply prepared from scratch meal tastes better and is better for your family than eating at many of the restaurants around town, and ya’ll can save the eating out for special occasions and go to a quality restaurant where you can truly enjoy the special treat. With all that in mind, each recipe in this cookbook has become a personal reflection of me, my skills, and the heart/love I put into preparing that food. The result is a cookbook that is not only my family and friend's favorite recipes, but are also the recipes that I hope will be many that you will want to refer back to when you simply want to put some great food on the table. Here's to eating good food and spending time with family and friends. Have fun cooking and enjoy!
