Greece Turkey And The Aegean Sea

by Haralambos Athanasopulos, Greece Turkey And The Aegean Sea Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download Greece Turkey And The Aegean Sea books, For many years, Greece and Turkey have been involved in aggressive rivalry over large areas of the Aegean Sea as well as Cyprus. Their conflicts endanger the peace between these two NATO allies and have even brought the two nations to the brink of war, but no agreement has been reached despite their mutual assistance in the aftermath of the earthquakes suffered by both countries in the summer of 1999. This work provides an in-depth discussion of how the conflicts began, the matter of Cyprus and international law, disputes and near-war situations over the Aegean, the dynamics of and prospects for a new Greek-Turkish partnership, and current developments in disputes and relations.

The Pittsburgh Crawfords

by Jim Bankes, The Pittsburgh Crawfords Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download The Pittsburgh Crawfords books, The Pittsburgh Crawfords were one of the Negro League’s best and most exciting teams. At the heart of the line-up were five men who would go on to be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame: Satchel Paige, one of the greatest pitchers in baseball history; Josh Gibson, a hitting catcher who rivaled Babe Ruth; Cool Papa Bell, one of the game’s fastest runners; Oscar Charleston, perhaps one of the all-around best players; and Judy Johnson, a skilled third baseman. This work takes a close look at the lives and careers of these men and others who played for the Crawfords, all of whom together built one of the greatest teams ever to play the game. Also included are comparisons between the Crawfords and the 1927 “Murderer’s Row” New York Yankees, the Negro National League standings (1933–1938), and statistics about the players and team records.

The Day Satchel Paige And The Pittsburgh Crawfords Came To Hertford N C

by Mike Shannon, The Day Satchel Paige And The Pittsburgh Crawfords Came To Hertford N C Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download The Day Satchel Paige And The Pittsburgh Crawfords Came To Hertford N C books, These seven baseball short stories and three baseball poetry sections (65 poems) reflect the American affection for their national pastime. The stories present a range of emotions--from obsession with the game to disappointment when all is not as it seems, from heightened awareness of who is on the field to similar awareness of who sits beside one in the stands. Likewise, the poetry sections (The Mantle/Mays Controversy Solved, Pete Rose Agonistes, and A Terror of the Pickoff Move) confront the highs and lows of baseball through the eyes of the fan.
