Описание: The inspiring story of Nate Ebner's bond with his unconventional father, which still remains unbroken years after his father's tragic death--and which has led Ebner to success as an Olympic rugby player and a New England Patriot with three Super Bowl rings Nate Ebner and his father were inseparable. From an early age, they worked side-by-side in the family junk yard, where part of the job was dispensing citizen's justice to would-be robbers, and worked out side-by-side in their grungy homemade gym. So tight were father and son that even though Nate was a great peewee football player, in football-mad Ohio, he followed his father's passion, and started playing for the same men's rugby club when he was only twelve years old. Nate skipped high school football entirely to devote himself to rugby, a decision that was validated when he was selected a member of the U.S. junior national team at only sixteen. But even after winning a college national championship in rugby at Ohio State, Nate had to face the fact that he was nearing a dead end--there was no way to make a living as a professional in rugby in this country. So Nate gave his dad the news that he planned to quit rugby and go out for the football team at Ohio State with an eye toward making the NFL. As a goal for someone who hadn't even played high school football, this was completely insane. Without blinking, his father told him that if he gave up what he had built in rugby, he had to see it through, to matter how rough the path. This was the last conversation they ever had--the next day, his father was brutally murdered at work by a would-be robber. Nate went on to make the Ohio State team and play in every game for three years, becoming a hero to his teammates along the way, and when NFL draft day came, he was selected by the New England Patriots. Three Super Bowl rings later, his legacy in the sport is secure. But he got another unexpected chance to honor his father's legacy when the Olympics admitted rugby as a sport for the 2016 Games. Nate hadn't played the game in six years, but he asked the Patriots for a leave to pursue what he knew would have been his father's ultimate dream. Against long odds, he made this team too, and competed in Rio in the sport he and his father loved above all others. An astonishing story of what a father will do for a son, and what a son will do for a father, Finish Strong offers us a powerful reminder that the lessons parents embody for their children continue to bear fruit long after they are gone.

Описание:
Papa and his son Richard have little time left to reconcile their differences. Placed in a nursing home against his will, 88-year-old Papa is angry and confused. Richard is angry too, angry with Papa.
Trapped in an eldercare system that renders him frustrated and powerless, Papa needs Richard's help to have any chance of being liberated from the nursing home. Richard struggles with unresolved anger toward a father who always placed logic above emotional connections. Each of them mistrusts the other.
Reluctantly, Richard finds himself drawn into Papa's legal, medical and, above all, emotional drama. At first Richard is questioning himself when he says, "I'm not sure what I can do. Perhaps it's fate or divine justice or something. Maybe he needs to be in a nursing home. I don't know."
Richard's dog, Baby, does know. She knows how to love both of them at the same time. As if able to travel through a portal between feelings and logic, Baby shows them the power of unconditional love. Father and son start collaborating on a book. Their writing project gives them something to focus on while waiting for Papa's psychological exam.
Despite family dysfunctions that included child abuse, alcohol abuse, drug abuse and animal cruelty, Papa, Richard and Baby managed to complete their story. Be assured that Baby was never mistreated, or even asked to type. Taking the reader into the heart of a dilemma faced by a generation of mid-lifers and their aging parents, Papa's Tales is a story of human redemption told with dignity and compassion.

Описание: This is the first book on the history, influences and impact of the Werkstatt f r Photography (Photography Workshop), founded by the Berlin photographer Michael Schmidt at the Volkshochschule Kreuzberg in 1976. In the midst of the Cold War, the Werkstatt initiated a democratic field of experimentation beyond the pale of traditional vocational and political-institutional standards. Those same years witnessed the establishment of infrastructures in West Germany that paved the way for the emancipation of photography as an art form: Documenta 6 (1977), the first photo galleries and photography journals and a number of pathbreaking exhibitions. Berlin, Hanover and Essen played important roles in that process. This book presents the story of German photography in the 1970s and '80s, its international ties, its protagonists and its networks.
