Join Todd Tuckey as he highlights a number of the most important pinball machines in history. This unique one of a kind series examines the history, never heard before stories and the magic of how you can prolong the life of your very own pinball machine. The series goes back in time, to show you the importance on how pinball was first frowned upon as a gambling tool and was almost destroyed during the prohibition, only to bounce back and gain worldwide fame with some of the top billing movie and rock and roll stars of all time.

Enjoy the unique stories by Pinball Legend Todd Tuckey that includes suggested resources for both buyers and sellers and includes some of the Ultimate Pinball collectors in History. Todd will take you back to where it all began when he was selling pinballs and arcade games from his driveway right up to his now massive 10,000 square foot warehouse. Entertaining, addictive, and as mesmerizing as the stainless steel ball it chronicles, this book is a must-have for anyone who has ever tilted a machine.

World's Greatest Bally Pinball Machines - Bally One

The Bally Manufacturing Corporation was founded by Raymond Moloney in 1932. The company took its name from its first game, Ballyhoo. The company, based in Chicago, quickly became a leading maker of pinball games.

The pinball division was acquired by Williams Electronics in 1988.

We then fast forward to 1995, when the company opened Bally's Casino Tunica in Tunica, Mississippi.

Описание:

With the skills he honed as one of Canada's top newspaper reporters and speech writers, Toronto author Robert MacBain profiles four Ojibway communities in northwestern Ontario. Their Home and Native Land is well-researched, well-written and tells a very compelling story. It will change the perspective most readers have on the place of the Indians in modern Canadian society.

Several individuals talk about what life was like on those reserves from the 1950s through to June, 2013, and describe how the Ojibways organized the first Indian protest march in Canadian history in 1965 and the events leading up to it.

The reader is taken behind the scenes in the treaty-making process of 1871-77 with the Indians living between Thunder Bay and the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains. Quotes from official documents describe what Indian chiefs and representatives of the Canadian government - not of the British Queen -- said and did during those negotiations.

The book documents the manner in which Indians who were making the transition from their lifestyle of hunting and fishing were forced off fertile land that had been reserved for them and their children by greedy land speculators aided and abetted by corrupt government officials. It also deals with the abusive manner in which generations of Indian children were dealt with in the harsh residential school system.

The book comes full circle and ends with a graduation ceremony in June, 2013, at the $25 million school the federal government built at the isolated Ojibway community of Whitedog on the Winnipeg River. The nearest stores are 1.5 hours away in Kenora. Most of the approximately 1,000 residents are on welfare.

Given that the book starts with a suicide epidemic at Whitedog in 1995, it is clear that very little progress had been made during the intervening years. However, all is not doom and gloom.

Their Home and Native Land features some truly remarkable and fascinating Ojibways, Mohawks and Cree and their positive approach to life - despite the conditions they live in -- is truly inspirational. They have a story worth telling, worth reading.
