Hilarious stories you'd never dream could emerge from the office of a superintendent of school! This book demonstrates that a good sense of humor is probably more important that possessing a PhD in dealing with the diversified spectrum of visitors who cross the superintendent's threshold on a daily basis – all with a problem that only he can solve! You've got to deal with them all – from the governor's office and the state superintendent of schools to the least affluent and unemployed. How you do this, and making them all feel "special" in the process - dictates your measure of success and tenure in office. Also, that little bit of humor you inject into the seemingly most serious of cases, especially to the persons involved, may go a long way in diffusing some volatile situations and putting them into a workable perspective which then become " win-win" for all concerned. This book also contains many valuable "gems" of wisdom in dealing with work related eventualities from some of the world's wisest minds - such as Dr. Norman Vincent Peale. Also some of America's top executives provide inspirational themes which illustrate how they became top level CEO's

San Francisco writer Joseph Sutton has written an amazing book: The Year The Giants Won The Series. Drawn from his personal journal, his observations of the San Francisco Giants' climb to win the 2010 World Series will remind you over and over again how a bunch if ragtag ballplayers became champions of the world against all odds. Interspersed with comments from his notes of twenty years ago as little league coach for his young son Ray's teams, Sutton enhances the importance that baseball has in cementing relationships between father and sons, and some daughters too.

On March 24, 2005, a small plane with Bobby Fischer on board landed at Reykjavik Airport. The arrival in Iceland of the former World Chess Champion was front-page news all over the world. In a ploy to free him from prison in Japan the Icelandic Parliament had granted the American Icelandic citizenship. Fischer had been arrested in Tokyo when the US warrant caught up with him that was issued after he had violated American sanctions against the former Yugoslavia by playing a controversial match against Boris Spassky. Icelandic chess grandmaster Helgi Olafsson was 15 year old in 1972, when in a sensational match in his home country Bobby Fischer beat Boris Spassky for the world title. Breathlessly, Helgi had followed the match and attended a number of games in the playing hall in Reykjavik. When thirty-three years later his childhood hero was arrested in Tokyo, Olafsson became one of the members of the Committee to Free Bobby Fischer. Now Fischer returned to Iceland, a country he was never to leave again till his death on January 17, 2008. Olafsson and Fischer developed a unique friendship. Countless hours they spent together, they talked about chess, about life, made trips, played games, had fun, and quarrelled. Bobby Fischer Comes Home tells the story of their complicated friendship and paints an intimate portrait of the last years of the man who many see as the greatest chess player that ever lived. ,
