The keeper : the unguarded story of Tim Howard
\"In this heartwarming and candid memoir, US national soccer team goalkeeper Tim Howard does something he would never do on a soccer field: he drops his guard. Howard opens up for the first time about how a hyperactive kid from New Jersey with Tourette Syndrome defied the odds to become one of the world's premier goalkeepers. Howard managed to keep his condition in check well enough to be drafted by Major League Soccer right out of high school. After a successful seventeen-year professional soccer career, Howard became an overnight star during the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. His heroic performance in goal for the United States against Belgium, in which he saved an astonishing fifteen shots--the most for any goalkeeper in a World Cup game--made him a household name as well as a trending internet meme. In the course of 120 minutes, Howard went from a player known mainly by soccer fans to an American icon, loved by millions for his dependability, daring, and humility. In this uplifting memoir adapted for young readers, Howard shares his remarkable journey from a challenging childhood in which he was raised by a single mother who instilled in him a love of sports and a devout Christian faith that helped him deal with the onset of Tourette's in fifth grade.\"--Publisher's description.

Die Suche nach Paulie Fink
\"Caitlyns neue Schule ist hèochst sonderbar. Unterrichtet wird in einer alten Villa, der pflanzenèuberwucherte Sportplatz wird von einer Horde Ziegen freigemèummelt, und keiner ihrer zehn Klassenkameraden kann aufhèoren, èuber einen Schèuler namens Paulie Fink zu reden. Je nachdem, wen man fragt, war er ein urkomischer Klassenclown oder ein unerbittlicher Unruhestifter. Aber eines ist sicher: Der Junge war eine absolute Legende. Jetzt ist er verschwunden, und Caitlyn wird zur Jurorin in einem Wettbewerb gewèahlt, bei dem ein wèurdiger Paulie-Ersatz gefunden werden soll. Mit jeder neuen Challenge versucht Caitlyn die Person kennenzulernen, die sie nie getroffen hat. Doch am meisten èuberrascht sie das, was sie dabei èuber sich selbst herausfindet\"--Amazon.de.
Indigenous conflict management strategies
We know that since the end of the Cold War, conflicts in non-Western countries have been frequent, frequently violent, largely intra-state, and protracted. But what do we know about conflict management and resolution strategies in these societies? Have the dominant Western approaches been transplantable, suitable, effective, durable, and sustainable? Would conflicts in non-Western societies be better handled by the adaptation and adoption of customary, traditional, or localized mechanisms of mitigation? These and similar questions have engaged the attention of scholars and policy-makers. Indigenous Conflict Management Strategies: Global Perspectives is offered as a global compendium on indigenous conflict management strategies. It presents diverse perspectives on the subject. Fully aware of the tendency in the literature to over-generalize, over-romanticize, and over-criticize the localized and customary mechanisms, the book takes a slightly different approach. It presents a variety of traditional conflict management approaches as well as several cases of the successful integration of the indigenous and Western strategies in the contemporary period. The main features, strengths, challenges, and weaknesses of a multitude of indigenous systems are also presented.
