The Kansas City A's and the Wrong Half of the Yankees: How the Yankees Controlled Two of the Eight American League Franchises During the 1950s
During the second half of the 1950s, folks derisively referred to the Kansas City A’s as a “farm team” of the New York Yankees Trades between the two—often lopsided—were commonplace, and it seemed every time the Yankees needed that one final piece for yet another pennant run, the A’s filled the gap. While most knew that A’s owner Arnold Johnson was somewhat affiliated with Yankee owners Dan Topping and Del Webb through his joint ownership of Yankee Stadium, The Kansas City A’s and the Wrong Half of the Yankees digs into the deeper business entanglements among the three. In addition to the questionable trades and his earlier purchase of “The House that Ruth Built,” Johnson’s purchase of the then–Philadelphia A’s shows signs of Yankees clout. Through periodicals, letters, conversations with contemporary players and executives, and an analysis of player records, author Jeff Katz has compiled a chronological account of how, through the hands of a friend and business partner, the Yankees controlled two of the eight American League teams during the second half of the 1950s. A publication of Maple Street Press, distributed by Potomac Books, Inc..

Air-conditioning America: Engineers and the Controlled Environment, 1900-1960 (Johns Hopkins Studies in the History of Technology)
In this groundbreaking study, Gail Cooper shows that, from the outset, air conditioning has been the focus of conflict and controversy -- well predating today's concerns about fluorocarbons and global warming. While a technical elite of designers, inventors, and corporate pioneers made a comprehensive plans for the new technology, their ideas were challenged by workers, consumers, government regulators, business competitors, and rival professionals. .

Beyond Politics: Markets, Welfare, And The Failure Of Bureaucracy (Independent Studies in Political Economy)
Traditional public policy and welfare economics have held that “market failures” are common, requiring the intervention of government in order to serve and protect the public good. In Beyond Politics, William C. Mitchell and Randy T. Simmons carefully scrutinize this traditional view through the modern theory of public choice.The authors enlighten the relationship of government and markets by emphasizing the actual rather than the ideal workings of governments and by reuniting the insights of economics with those of political science. Beyond Politics traces the anatomy of “government failure” and a pathology of contemporary political institutions as government has become a vehicle for private gain at public expense. In so doing, this brisk and vigorous book examines a host of public issues, including social welfare, consumer protection, and the environment. Offering a unified and powerful perspective on the market process, property rights, politics, contracts, and government bureaucracy, Beyond Politics is a lucid and comprehensive book on the foundations and institutions of a free and humane society. .

Flashlight Monsters Invade Hollywood (Flashlight Books)
The movie director says, “Find me a star! Make it hairy and scary!” He gets more than he’d bargained for when a parade of monsters come trouping into the studio. Among them are Tail Smasher who breaks cameras, Dragon Breath who belches flames, and Near-Monster Ned, who likes to chew heads. These and other monsters can be projected on a wall as kids create scary stories of their own. . Flashlight Books are funny and a little scary, but their most unusual features are the illustrations, with die-cut shapes that glow in the dark. Better yet, when kids turn out the lights, then hold one of the book’s die-cut paper monsters so that it catches a flashlight beam, a monster silhouette is projected on the wall behind the picture. Kids can make their own shadow monster movies after they’ve read each book’s humorously rhymed story..

Diffusion in Solids: Fundamentals, Methods, Materials, Diffusion-Controlled Processes (Springer Series in Solid-State Sciences) (Springer Series in Solid-State Sciences)
Diffusion is a vital topic in solid-state physics and chemistry, physical metallurgy and materials science. Diffusion processes are ubiquitous in solids at elevated temperatures. A thorough understanding of diffusion in materials is crucial for materials development and engineering. This book first gives an account of the central aspects of diffusion in solids, for which the necessary background is a course in solid state physics. It then provides easy access to important information about diffuson in metals, alloys, semiconductors, ion-conducting materials, glasses and nanomaterials. Several diffusion-controlled phenomena, including ionic conduction, grain-boundary and dislocation pipe diffusion, are considered as well. Graduate students in solid-state physics, physical metallurgy, materials science, physical and inorganic chemistry or geophysics will benefit from this book as will physicists, chemists, metallurgists, materials engineers in academic and industrial research laboratories. .
