    <![CDATA[In this invaluable book, Bill Russell shares the insights, the memories, and most important, the essential &quot;rules of success&quot; that influenced him in every aspect of his life, from raising a daughter as a single father to becoming a successful coach and mentor to others. Filled with personal and professional stories of his days playing with Celtic greats Bob Cousy, Tom Heinsohn, Sam Jones, and coach Red Auerbach, <em>Russell Rules</em> offers inspiring lessons on commitment, personal integrity, teamwork, and success.  <br/><br/>  &quot;A true champion and a genuine hero.&quot;  (Bryant Gumbel)  <br/><br/>  &quot;A person of great character, great integrity.&quot; (Jim Brown)  <br/><br/>  &quot;That rare public figure who is even larger in life, close up, than he is from a distance. [Russell] has that rare quality of authenticity.&quot; (Tom Brokaw, author of <em>The Greatest Generation</em>)]]>

    <![CDATA[Jackie Robinson's extraordinary courage, his unflappable dignity, and his astonishing feats on the field as the first African-American to play on a major league team made him not only a great sports legend but a genuine American hero. In this comprehensive, moving portrait, David Falkner explores in detail the lifelong influences on Robinson, the pressures he had to bear, and the contributions he made to the cause of integration.<p>From Robinson's famous battle with the army over segregation to his rigidly maintained restraint in the face of ugly prejudice and life-threatening hostility from baseball fans and players alike, to his post-baseball efforts to help African-Americans establish an economic base within mainstream America, Falkner illuminates Robinson's inner strengths and his determination to make a lasting difference in American society.<p></p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[In THE LAST HERO, Falkner examines Mickey Charles Mantle from several perspectives: as the boy from the mining towns of Oklahoma; as a breakthrough ballplayer, the embodiment of power and speed; as a teammate, a leader of men who remained a boy at heart; as a hero to millions in ways he could never fathom; and finally, as a tragic figure, dying bravely after coming to terms with the price of the irresponsible life he had led.  With grace, intelligence, and depth, Falkner provides us with a perceptive look at the man, the athlete, and the American phenomenon who will always be known as, simply, The Mick.  <p>&quot;Mickey Mantle's story, like the man himself, is all-American: small town boy makes good, falls from grace and is redeemed.  The man and the story are great!&quot; (New York Times Book Review)</p>]]>
