After years of playing in the minors, Will Grant is called up to the majors as the new starting centerfielder for the N.Y. Nighthawks. He worked hard to achieve his dream. Moving on from his occasional girlfriend, Will’s not looking for a commitment. His fresh start in the big city is all about baseball and getting established with the team. But when smokin’ hot Jackie Rice shows up with her six-year-old, Mickey, at Nighthawks’ day camp, all bets are off. Mickey idolizes Will. Soon Grant’s spending plenty of off-the-field time with the boy and his mother. It’s all fun and games, until a mind-blowing secret revealed throws Will a curveball he didn’t see coming. Sometimes reaching for a homer ends by striking out. Can the centerfielder handle the life-changing challenges he faces?

Comprehensive coverage of superconductivity from the Wiley Encyclopedia of Electrical and Electronics Engineering Engineering Superconductivity features fifty articles selected from the Wiley Encyclopedia of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, the one truly indispensable reference for electrical engineers. Superconductor technology has made highly advanced experiments possible in chemistry, biochemistry, particle physics, and health sciences, and introduced new applications currently in use in fields from medicine to cellular communications. Taken together, these articles-written by acknowledged experts in the field-provide the most complete and in-depth accounting of superconductivity in existence. The book brings together a wealth of information that would not be available to those who do not have access to the full 24-volume encyclopedia. This thorough survey looks at the application of superconductors from an engineer's practical perspective rather than a theoretical approach. Engineering Superconductivity provides full coverage of the fundamentals of superconducting behavior and explains the properties and fabrication methods of commercially produced superconductors. Up-to-date material on superconductor applications as well as competing technologies is included. The fifty articles presented here are divided into three sections: Superconductivity and magnetism Superconductors Applications and related technology Engineering Superconductivity is a complete and up-to-date reference for engineers, physicists, chemists, materials scientists, and anyone working with superconductors.

Author Danny Knobler tells the stories behind the most memorable moments and achievements in Tigers history, including 2: the number of no-hitters Justin Verlander has in his career; .366: Ty Cobb's career batting average, the highest in MLB history; and 1,918: the number of games played together by Alan Trammell and Lou Whitaker as a record-setting, double-play combination. Featuring over 50 entries that span more than a century of Tigers magic, this fan book is an engaging, unique look back at the history of one of baseball's most entertaining franchises.
