The Wizard of Odds by Charley Rosen Pdf

In The Wizard of Odds, renowned and best-selling basketball writer Charley Rosen brings us for the first time the full life story of Jack Molinas, one of the greatest basketball players of his era, a man whose gambling addiction and hubris caused his ultimate demise. Drawing on numerous, previously unavailable first-person accounts, including Jack Molinas’s own journal and trial transcripts, Rosen presents the true saga of a man who perhaps better than anyone around him understood the weaknesses of the system in which he lived—so much so that he convinced himself that he could manipulate that system to his advantage with total impunity, in a life’s journey that took him from NBA play to the Mafia and the pornographic film industry, and to an ultimate tragic destiny.

Farewell Jimmy the Greek by Ginger Wadsworth,Jimmy the Greek,Jimmy Snyder Pdf

Jimmy the Greek became a household name in 1976 when he merged oddsmaking & sports into a unique role on CBS's NFL TODAY show. For twelve years he rattled off predictions for upcoming games & titillated fans with sports gossip. Burly & unpolished, the high-school drop-out created an excitement & spontaneity unfamiliar to previous pregame-show formats. Always a controversial figure, he made headlines in 1980 when he slugged Brent Musburger in a Manhattan bar, but he astonished the entire nation in 1988 when in an unplanned interview he stated why he believed African-Americans are better athletes. Unjustly labeled a racist, the seventy-year-old Snyder was fired from CBS. He retreated into a world of solitude. The mystery behind the Greek's banishment from the public eye baffled his supporters until now. With the publication of FAREWELL JIMMY THE GREEK, the story is finally told.

The Wizard and the Prophet by Charles C. Mann Pdf

From the best-selling, award-winning author of 1491 and 1493--an incisive portrait of the two little-known twentieth-century scientists, Norman Borlaug and William Vogt, whose diametrically opposed views shaped our ideas about the environment, laying the groundwork for how people in the twenty-first century will choose to live in tomorrow's world. In forty years, Earth's population will reach ten billion. Can our world support that? What kind of world will it be? Those answering these questions generally fall into two deeply divided groups--Wizards and Prophets, as Charles Mann calls them in this balanced, authoritative, nonpolemical new book. The Prophets, he explains, follow William Vogt, a founding environmentalist who believed that in using more than our planet has to give, our prosperity will lead us to ruin. Cut back! was his mantra. Otherwise everyone will lose! The Wizards are the heirs of Norman Borlaug, whose research, in effect, wrangled the world in service to our species to produce modern high-yield crops that then saved millions from starvation. Innovate! was Borlaug's cry. Only in that way can everyone win! Mann delves into these diverging viewpoints to assess the four great challenges humanity faces--food, water, energy, climate change--grounding each in historical context and weighing the options for the future. With our civilization on the line, the author's insightful analysis is an essential addition to the urgent conversation about how our children will fare on an increasingly crowded Earth.
