$26.00Disturbing indictment of the world of grassroots basketball, the network of highly competitive youth club teams that has produced an incredible number of today’s NBA stars. Problem is, the industry has become very lucrative of late, to the point that shoe companies like Nike and Adidas frequently form relationships with athletes as young as 9yearsold in the hopes that they will help sell shoes for them once they reach stardom (whi9ch rarely happens). This book follows one of these teams for eight years. The results are often heartbreaking.

SMUGGLING THE HISTORY INTO FICTION: Many novels today hinge on real historical events, or feature actual figures from an earlier era. Robert Masello's Blood and Ice largely revolves around Victorian England and the Crimean War, and he will discuss the challenges, the pitfalls, and the fun -- yes, it can be a blast! -- of weaving real history into a fictional context.
