John Thompson was more than a basketball coach, and this work transcends a typical sports autobiography. As the first Black head coach to win an NCAA championship, Thompson shares his journey through three decades at the intersection of race and sports in America. Filled with compelling stories and impressive achievements—three Final Fours, four-time national coach of the year, seven Big East championships, and a 97 percent graduation rate—his narrative spans from childhood under Jim Crow to today's racial reckoning. Readers will ride alongside Celtics legend Red Auerbach and witness Thompson coaching NBA icons like Patrick Ewing and Allen Iverson. He reveals the origins of "Hoya Paranoia" and discusses his negotiations with a DC drug kingpin connected to his players in the 1980s, as well as his role on the Nike board. Thompson's family background was marked by hardship; his mother, a teacher, could not teach due to her race, and his father identified cements by taste due to illiteracy. Thompson's legacy includes a statue on a campus historically tied to the sale of enslaved people. His story illuminates pressing national issues, establishing him as a vital voice in college basketball and beyond. This work serves as a powerful testament rather than a farewell, amplifying the insights of one of America's most significant figures.

This book explores the tumultuous decade when the publishing industry confronted a major technological revolution. It examines the rise of ebooks, the self-publishing boom, and the increasing popularity of audiobooks, offering a detailed account of how digital disruption has reshaped this vital creative sector. The traditional foundation of publishing, which relied on the control and sale of printed books, faced significant challenges as technology enabled the rapid and cost-effective storage and transmission of content. Publishers and retailers encountered a surge of new competitors offering innovative products and services, leading to intense conflicts with powerful tech giants who approached the market from entirely different perspectives. While ebooks were central to these disputes, the author suggests that the most significant impacts extend beyond them. The print book remains a resilient cultural artifact, yet the digital revolution has introduced new players with unprecedented influence and diversified publishing forms. Furthermore, it has altered the wider information and communication landscape, presenting both challenges and opportunities for publishers as they navigate their roles in the digital era. This insightful account is essential for anyone interested in the future of books and publishing.

The dramatic increases in food prices experienced over the last four years, and their effects of hunger and food insecurity, as well as human-induced climate change and its implications for agriculture, food production and food security, are key topics within the field of agronomy and agricultural research. Contested Agronomy addresses these issues by exploring key developments since the mid-1970s, focusing in particular on the emergence of the neoliberal project and the rise of the participation and environmental agendas, taking into consideration how these have had profound impacts on the practice of agronomic research in the developing world especially over the last four decades. This book explores, through a series of case studies, the basis for a much needed 'political agronomy' analysis that highlights the impacts of problem framing and narratives, historical disjunctures, epistemic communities and the increasing pressure to demonstrate 'success' on both agricultural research and the farmers, processors and consumers it is meant to serve. Whilst being a fascinating and thought-provoking read for professionals in the Agriculture and Environmental sciences, it will also appeal to students and researchers in agricultural policy, development studies, geography, public administration, rural sociology, and science and technology studies.
