Kids know Aaron Rodgers as one of the NFL’s best quarterbacks. He has won two NFL MVP Awards and led the Green Bay Packers to a Super Bowl title. He has orchestrated several “miracle” finishes, and he’s the highest-rated passer in NFL history. In this book, kids will get to know Rodgers on a personal level. They’ll see how he rose from a little-known QB at Butte Community College to a passing machine in Green Bay. Off the field, Rodgers impresses with his compassion, intelligence, and side-splitting humor. Engaging text—peppered with quotes—and high-impact photos accentuate the experience.

Bring Me that Horizon is a fascinating quest into the heart and soul of Portuguese football. Journeying across its landscape, from old and forgotten bastions of invincibility to new, muscled industrial areas where dreams come true, the book uncovers the multiple identities of Portugal as a nation. Whether visiting historical clubs that were miraculously brought back to life or getting to grips with the complexity of Portugal's 'Game of Thrones' fight for supremacy, the book traces a route north to south, island to island, without forgetting the profound connection with Africa and Brazil. From Eusébio's glorious career to Cândido de Oliveira's adventures as a British intelligence agent, the book reveals a nation that already had fantastic tales to tell before it became the flavour of the month for football hipsters at the turn of the millennium. There's much more to Portugal's football heritage than Ronaldo and Mourinho.

This book is a chronology of my life. It tells the story of a young Negro boy weaving his way through a hostile, alien world, almost alone. Mama went to one of my football games at U.C. Berkeley. She didn't know anything about football, but she knew her son was on the field, and she knew he was in college. Her support through the years helped me navigate the difficult times I grew up in. This book will take you on a journey through those years, spiced with details about the worlds of college and professional football, and of track and field, as well as original reports of the events happening in the wider world.
