More than Ninety Minutes is an analysis of tactics, signings, managers, players, and club directors' decisions. Based on real examples taken from recent soccer history, the author dissects these people's mistakes, their successes, and how their actions on and off the pitch impacted their play and their trophy cabinets. It is a critical account arising from a weekly study made over the course of ten years of the top European leagues and clubs such as Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Atlético de Madrid, Inter Milan, Bayern Munich, and Borussia Dortmund. The author presents and compares the processes followed by these teams–the ones that were successful as well as those that failed–while analytically assessing the most important aspects that make up the game of soccer. The book selects specific situations in relevant clubs where tactics, psychology, and the ability to manage a group of players are combined. Without claiming to find a nonexistent magic formula, it helps the reader–whether they are simply a fan, manager, player, or director–to understand the intricacies of this complex sport and to put themselves on the road that is certain to lead to success. This book is one of a kind in the history of soccer literature, and it is written in a readable, emphatic, and reflexive style.

A bold argument that “and” always means “&,” the truth-functional sentential connective. In this book, Barry Schein argues that “and” is always the sentential logical connective with the same, one, meaning. “And” always means “&,” across the varied constructions in which it is tokened in natural language. Schein examines the constructions that challenge his thesis, and shows that the objections disappear when these constructions are translated into Eventish, a neo-Davidsonian event semantics, and, enlarged with Cinerama Semantics, a vocabulary for spatial orientation and navigation. Besides rescuing “and” from ambiguity, Eventish and Cinerama Semantics solve general puzzles of grammar and meaning unrelated to conjunction, revealing the book's central thesis in the process: aspects of meaning mistakenly attributed to “and” are discovered to reflect neighboring structures previously unseen and unacknowledged. Schein argues that Eventish and Cinerama Semantics offer a fundamental revision to clause structure and what aspects of meaning are represented therein. Eventish is distinguished by four features: supermonadicity, which enlarges verbal decomposition so that every argument relates to its own event; descriptive event anaphora, which replaces simple event variables with silent descriptive pronouns; adverbialization, which interposes adverbials derived from the descriptive content of every DP; and AdrPs, which replace all NPs with Address Phrases that locate what nominals denote within scenes or frames of reference. With 'And,' Schein rehabilitates an old rule of transformational, generative grammar, answering the challenges to it exhaustively and meticulously.

I acknowledge a deep debt of gratitude to my coeditors: my wife Irene, and my friend and colleague Tom Draper. They have worked with diligence and insight to bring this work to completion. They have delegated the task of writing the Preface to me. As the scientific study of human development matures it is not only natural, but it is necessary to reach beyond understanding the ways humans develop capacities, to study the ways emerging capacities fit into the larger sphere of human undertakings. Music is one of the most significant of those endeavors. As I attend the several piano competitions that are on my agenda each year, and see children seated at the keyboard drawing forth the magnificent sounds of Bach, Chopin, and Ravel, I am always a little awed. Surely, it seems to me, the piano* is among the best of man's creations; the creative energies of great composers are among mankind's greatest expressions; and encouraging children to associate themselves seriously with both instrument and composer can be one of the great blessings to their young lives and, by association, to the larger society. Music touches the entire range of our lifespan on a daily basis. Involving chil dren with music and music training has high market, and common sense, validity. Parents understand intuitively that children will benefit, and their lives will be enriched, if they are influenced by music and music training.

If You Want to Be Successful in Trading You Need to Buy This Book! In these four best-selling trading psychology books, you will find practical, immediately usable strategies to improve the way you trade. Control Your Inner Trader Self-control is probably the most important skill you need to acquire as a trader. Unfortunately, most trading psychology books can be very vague and short on specific strategies to take control of your mental state while trading. Trading psychology shares equal importance with money management and the trading system and yet most traders remain unaware of the importance of taking into account their trading psychology when designing a trading system. What traders need is an unambiguous trader psychology system that can easily slot into whatever system they are trading and enable them to trade their system according to their trading plan. Control Your Inner Trader draws on the experience of an eight-year trading veteran who is also a qualified therapist. Behavioral and therapeutic techniques are included in the book that is easy for anyone to follow. Overcome Your Fear in Trading The most prevalent emotion facing traders is fear.. Fear causes traders to exit trades too early ruining their equity curve. Fear causes traders to self-sabotage so they can fulfill their self-fulfilling prophecy of trading failure. Fear causes traders to find reasons to avoid taking trades that would have been winners. Fear causes traders to exit trades before they have a chance to get the move underway and then have the misery of seeing a profitable trade run away from them. There are many more destructive aspects to fear in trading and what is vital for the trader in order for them to succeed is to have a way of thinking about trading that eliminates fear from the trading process. How to Stop Over-Trading is the latest book in the trading psychology series of books by L.R. Thomas. This book zeroes in on the specific reasons traders take trades outside their trading plan and offers simple solutions to stop over-trading forever. The truth is that if a trader consistently trades outside their strategy, even on a demo platform, they are very unlikely to succeed in trading. If you are skewing your trading results by taking trades that you shouldn't, then this book could change your trading, for the better, forever. Patience Lack of patience also causes negative behaviors related to trading, such as not bothering to back-test the system, not keeping careful records, and not doing an end-of-day or end-of-week analysis of trading results to find areas of improvement. The feeling of 'things not moving fast enough' also causes traders to add too many trading systems to an already overloaded brain and not be able to focus properly on any one strategy to make it profitable The profitability of the trading system is profoundly impacted by these types of behaviors and turns what is a money-making system in theory, into a loss-making system in the real life.
