The book includes seven horizontal timelines and 39 charts to graphically illustrate significant chronological issues. Additionally, a year-by-year timetable from 1949 BC to 70 AD is provided so that the precise counting of the years can be visually verified. The timelines, charts and timetables graphically show how all significant people and events fit together. The book also provides all the references and explanations for charting only 4,000 years from Adam to 70 AD. It clarifies the most troubling chronological passages, providing readers all the needed information to arrive at their own conclusions. In addition, The Ultimate Comprehensive Bible Timeline explains confusing subjects, including: the Creation and Religious calendars, Noah’s Flood year, the Sabbath year and Year of Jubilee, the holy days and feasts, the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the approximate date for Job, the meaning of Ezekiel’s 430 years of sin, the complexities related to the genealogy from Noah to Abraham, and the difficulties in correctly charting the judges, Eli and Samuel and the kings. Furthermore, The Ultimate Comprehensive Bible Timeline reviews in detail the four most commonly promoted chronologies, explaining how each evolved and the differences between them. These chronologies are (1) the traditional one produced by Archbishop James Usher in the 1600s, (2) the currently most accepted evangelical timeline produced by Dr. John Whitcomb in the 1960s, (3) the current secular timeline as it relates to the Bible, and (4) the official Jewish timeline. Prophetically, The Ultimate Comprehensive Bible Timeline affirms that the 1-day 1,000-year, 6-day 6,000-year pattern is prophetically meaningful, and includes a chronological outline of the book of Revelation. Ultimately, The Ultimate Comprehensive Bible Timeline provides an accurate, Bible-based chronology of world history as one part of an overall Christian worldview in order to strengthen believers and act as a witness to non-believers.What this book is all about The Ultimate Comprehensive Bible Timeline charts the years from Adam to Jesus, providing a precise timeline of people and events that can be used by Bible students, teachers and scholars.

The Joy of Keeping Score: How Scoring the Game Has Influenced and Enhanced the History of Baseball $9.39 In this unique book, Paul Dickson celebrates one of the most unusual traditions in all of sports–the baseball scorecard. Within the history of the scorecard are some of baseball’s greatest moments. From the first scorecard introduced in 1845, to the scoring system devised by direct-marketing genius L. L. Bean; from presidential scoring habits to batting titles decided by official scorers, to Phil Rizzuto’s inspired scoring symbol "WW," ("Wasn’t Watching"), Dickson delights in his subject, offering unique insights and memorable anecdotes. Among the book’s many illustrations is a gallery of historic scorecards, including Don Larsen’s perfect game in the 1956 World Series, Babe Ruth’s famous "called" home run, and Cal Ripken’s record-breaking 2,131st consecutive game. In addition, Dickson provides basic and advanced scoring techniques for beginners and experts alike, a year-by-year timeline of rule changes, a guide to baseball’s quirkiest statutes, stories of famous scoring blunders, and many more unexpected rewards. For those who keep or have kept score, this book will be an elixir. For those who haven’t, it will be a revelation. For baseball fans everywhere, it is a treasure. |

Baseball: A History Of America’s Favorite Game $9.29 Football is force and fanatics, basketball is beauty and bounce. Baseball is everything: action, grace, the seasons of our lives. George Vecsey’s book proves it, without wasting a word." -Lee Eisenberg, author of The Number In Baseball , one of the great bards of America’s Grand Old Game gives a rousing account of the sport, from its pre-Republic roots to the present day. George Vecsey casts a fresh eye on the game, illuminates its foibles and triumphs, and performs a marvelous feat: making a classic story seem refreshingly new. Baseball is a narrative of America’s can-do spirit, in which stalwart immigrants such as Henry Chadwick could transplant cricket and rounders into the fertile American culture and in which die-hard unionist baseballers such as Charles Comiskey and Connie Mack could eventually become the tightfisted avatars of the game’s big-money establishment. It’s a celebration of such underdogs as a rag-armed catcher turned owner named Branch Rickey and a sure-handed fielder named Curt Flood, both of whom flourished as true great men of history. But most of all, Baseball is a testament to the unbreakable bond between our nation’s pastime and the fans, who’ve remained loyal through the fifty-year-long interdict on black athletes, the Black Sox scandal, franchise relocation, and the use of performance-enhancing drugs by some major stars. Reverent, playful, and filled with Vecsey’s charm, Baseball begs to be read in the span of a rain-delayed doubleheader, and so enjoyable that, like a favorite team’s championship run, one hopes it never ends. "Vecsey possesses a journalist’s eye for detail and a historian’s feel for the sweep of action. His research is scrupulous and his writing crisp. This book is an instant classic a highly readable guide to America’s great enduring pastime." The Louisville Courier Journal From the Hardcover edition. |

Rob Neyer’s Big Book Of Baseball Blunders: A Complete Guide To The Worst Decisions And Stupidest Moments In Baseball History $5.89 BLOOPER: BALL SQUIRTS THROUGH BILLY BUCKNER’S LEGS. BLUNDER: BILLY BUCKNER’S MANAGER LEFT HIM IN THE GAME. Baseball bloopers are fun; they’re funny, even. A pitcher slips on the mound and his pitch sails over the backstop. An infielder camps under a pop-up…and the ball lands ten feet away. An outfielder tosses a souvenir to a fan…but that was just the second out, and runners are circling the bases (and laughing). Without these moments, the highlight reels wouldn’t be nearly as entertaining. Baseball blunders, however, can be tragic, and they will leave diehard fans asking why…why…why? Rob Neyer’s Big Book of Baseball Blunders does its best to answer all those whys, exploring the worst decisions and stupidest moments of managers, general managers, owners, and even commissioners. As he did in his Big Book of Baseball Lineups, Rob Neyer provides readers with a fascinating examination of baseball’s rich history, this time through the lens of the game’s sometimes hilarious, often depressing, and always perplexing blunders. · Which ill-fated move cost the Chicago White Sox a great hitter and the 1919 World Series? · What was Babe Ruth thinking when he became the first (and still the only) player to end a World Series by getting caught trying to steal? · Did playing one-armed Pete Gray in 1945 cost the Browns a pennant? · How did winning a coin toss lead to the Dodgers losing the National League pennant on Bobby Thomson’s "Shot Heard ’round the World"? · How damaging was the Frank Robinson-for-Milt Pappas deal, really? · Which of Red Sox manager Don Zimmer’s mistakes in 1978 was the worst? · Which Yankees trade was even worse than swapping Jay Buhner for Ken Phelps? · What non-move cost Buck Showalter a job and gave Joe Torre the opportunity of a lifetime? · Game 7, 2003 ALCS: Pedro winds up to throw his 123rd pitch…what were you thinking? These are just a few of the legendary (and not-so-legendary) blunders that Neyer analyzes, always with an eye on what happened, why it happened, and how it changed the fickle course of history. And in separate chapters, Neyer also reviews some of the game’s worst trades and draft picks and closely examines all the teams that fell just short of first place. Another in the series of Neyer’s Big Books of baseball history, Baseball Blunders should win a place in every devoted fan’s library. |
