"The true story of how an unknown squad of American minor leaguers stunned the international baseball powerhouse from Cuba. Led by Hall-of-Fame manager Tommy Lasorda, the 2000 USA Olympic Baseball team pulled off one of the biggest upsets in Olympic history. This is a behind the scenes look at how the executives in charge went about selecting the players, how Lasorda persuaded management into giving him the opportunity to coach the team, and how capturing the gold medal in Sydney changed the lives of every player, coach and administrator involved."-- T.p. 4

What is the most important plant in the world? In terms of nutritive content, function within the ecosystem, and even medicinal properties, the answer to this question may very well be grass. In this wide-ranging survey of grass forages and pastureland, Charles Walters makes the case that grass is not just for cows and horses - that in fact it is the most nutritious food produced by nature, as well as the ultimate soil conditioner. You will learn from traditional graziers who draw on centuries of wisdom to create beautiful, lush, sustainable pastures, as well as cutting-edge innovators who are using such methods as biodynamics and sea-solids fertilization to create some of the healthiest grasslands in the world. Leading agronomists not only explain the importance of grasses in our environment, they also share practical knowledge such as when to look for peak levels of nutrition within the growing cycle and how to use grass to restore soil to optimum health. A must-read for anyone interested in sustainable, bio-correct agriculture, this information-packed volume is a comprehensive look at an essential family of plants.
