I was told during the 09/10 season that two things were virtually impossible. First the snowflakes were too fluffy to make a snowman in Fort Collins, Colorado. Secondly, the Blackhawks could not win the Stanley Cup with their mediocre goaltenders. As the saying goes, Dont believe everything you hear, and only half of what you get in writing. This book is a zany look back at the resurgence of the men that wear the Indian Head on their chest, a resurgence that began in the 07/08 season. In this book youll discover; Why President Obama desperately needs to watch a hockey game. Why so much of Emily Dickinsons poetry is a reflection of what takes place on frozen pond. What the Battle of the Bulge had much in common with the Predator quarterfinals. The story of fan who momentarily took the violence out of hockey. The role the classic film, Napoleon Dynamite, played in the 08/09 playoffs. The incredible sacrifice of 1yr old Callum Birdzell during the Hawks quest for the Cup (or why baby needs a new pair of jammies.) What the Darryl brothers from the Bob Newhart show had to do with the Hawks greatest comeback ever. Why the Hawks switched to Queen Pawn Openings-a walk on the wild side! You know youre hooked by the larceny laced mayhem on the ice when you and your 14 yr old daughter look knowingly into each others eyes and say, That Columbus game is going to be a big one! How Capocalypse can be explained by considering James Brown, Zorba the Greek and Mr. Bo Jangles. Why fans in Chicago are asking the fans in The City of Brotherly Love, can we still be friends?

“We waited in silence, each man occupied with his own secret thoughts and no doubt wrestling with his own secret fears. I think that half-hour was probably the worst I have ever spent. Slowly and inexorably the minutes passed, second by second, and the time approached which might be the end of everything for me. All my efforts to screw up my courage, all my fatalistic self-assurances that what is to be, will be, became more and more useless, and hope seemed to ooze away with every second...” Frederick Noakes, 1917. Guardsman Frederick Noakes fought on the Western Front for the last 18 months of the Great War. In 1934, he wanted to write up his ‘adventures’ while his memory was still ‘undimmed’, using the letters he wrote home during 1917–1919 as the basis for the memoir. His eloquent text, with his views on politics, morale and the trenches, moved friends to persuade Noakes to publish the work privately in 1952. Fen Noakes did not consider himself a hero, but the dignity with which he conducted himself under the most dreadful conditions suggest otherwise. His articulate and effective prose gives a voice to the average soldier in the trenches. Professor Peter Simkins provides an introduction to this new edition, which also includes a foreword by Carole Noakes, niece of the author.

It has been five hundred years since the Peladanes stormed the distant stronghold of Vaagenfjord. There, the dreaded rawgr Drauglir and his supernatural minions had held sway over the mortal world, in a long, terrifying reign. And now, the peace is broken. Rumors abound, ill omens have been seen, and a priest of the One God has had a vision. The rawgr--hideous, powerful creatures of which there were but few -- have reappeared and, from their far northern outpost, threaten to wreak vengeance on the descendants of the Peladanes who sacked their fortress centuries before. Thus begins an epic adventure--a fabulous quest--the likes of which has never been told. David Bilsborough, a brilliant young author, has created a passionately imagined vision of Lyndormyn, a world teeming with peoples, history, cultures; a world rich with fabulous landscapes and hidden terrors; a world with compelling characters--human and other--some deadly, others merely remarkable. In sum, his creation explores a world of wonders that will surprise and captivate readers with its masterfully woven tapestry of lives entrapped by the play of Time and Chance, Good and Evil, on a grand scale. It's a sweeping epic to fire the imagination of readers everywhere. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
