"The story of Bob Thomas, a man who reached the very top of two separate and distinct professions, Chicago Bears' football and the law, while guided along the way by an underpinning of faith"--

For the St Louis Cardinals and their fans, there was a great deal of uncertainty going into the 1985 season. But bleak predictions proved wide of the mark as the Cards found themselves in an unexpected battle for the pennant. This is an in-depth look at the Cards' 1985 season and the World Series.

The era of free agency in Major League Baseball ensured that it would be difficult to keep star teams together year after year. The 1976 Cincinnati Reds were one of the last to be considered a dynasty. This book documents the season of one of the greatest teams in baseball history.

In 1953, August A Busch purchased the St Louis Cardinals for nearly four million dollars. His dream included not only the best players money could buy but a brand new Busch Stadium in downtown St Louis. The early sixties found Busch working on both. This volume looks back at the outstanding Cardinal teams of the 1967 and 1968 seasons.

At the core of the educational transformation of American rural schools in the early 1900s, there was the re-examination of the rural school curriculum, preceded by the landmark meeting of the Committee of Ten in 1893. Until 1900, formal education in most rural areas was seen by many as an unneeded luxury, not necessary for the manual labor of the farm, mill, mine, or other primary employment sources of a given locale. Curriculum and the American Rural School traces the origins of American school curriculum, and subsequently contextualizes it within the history of rural school curriculum in the United States since the mid-1800s. Doug Feldmann examines modern issues pertinent to the rural school curriculum in light of this history, and the actual solutions to these issues that rural schools have discovered. Feldmann examines curriculum- in all of its procedural and documentary forms- in a real-life, contemporary rural school study, whereby the history and theory of this discipline is revealed in a true-to-life form.
