Is international cricket facing its own 'global warming' moment, a crisis that's attacking its very core? That's the question posed by Glenn Turner and co-author Lynn McConnell in this insightful insider's account. In the rush to commercialise and expand the game, the authors suggest, it's been turned into a 'product', and burdened by a class of amateur administrators pulling it in a direction that's increasingly at odds with the needs of the game -- including the first-class game on which the whole edifice rests. This book shows how these problems are playing out in New Zealand cricket, but those in other cricketing nations will see a lot in common with their own experience of the game. A probing mix of anecdotes, analysis and forthright criticism of the game and its administration from one of cricket's most successful and widely experienced players. About the AuthorsGlenn Turner played 41 Tests, 41 ODIs, 455 first-class games and 195 one-day matches in a career spanning 19 years and captained NZ, Worcestershire, Otago and Northern Districts. He twice coached the NZ team, including their only Test series win in Australia in 1985-86, and was a national and Otago selector.

SAFETY MODE OFF Risk taking is one of the essential roles that every human must play as long as he/she is still alive. It is essential that we all take risks to ensure a consistent life. I believe we all take risks one way or the other every day. When you think about living a good life, then you are set to take risks. A student that goes to school to gain knowledge will have to go through several processes most of which are not palatable. He has to take this risk to become something in life. Most people today find it very difficult to take risks, especially the important ones that demand a measure of sacrifice. This is probably because of fear. Such individuals are so involved in everything, that they fail to recognize the fact that we all need to be adventurous sometimes. The truth is that not every risk is worth taking. You must specifically be cautious about the choice of risks taken. This particular aspect is where most people get it wrong. When an individual is over cautious, he may not be able to see opportunities undercover. It is like a case of a very careful man who never laughed or played. He never risked, he never tried, he never sang or prayed. When he passed away, his insurance was denied; since he never really lived, they claimed he never died What you will gain in this book: Don't Be Afrаid To Tаkе RisksTake Riѕkѕ - Thе Hаrd & Lоnеlу Rоаd Also Has thе RewardTаking Riѕkѕ Your Tiсkеt To Overcoming Shyness And Sосiаl AnxiеtуYоu Must Take Riѕkѕ in Life tо Bесоmе a SuссеѕѕPеrfоrmаnсе Improvement Thrоugh Intеlligеnt RisksWhу Arе We Sо Afrаid?

2016 Heritage Toronto Book Award — Nominated Buried beneath Toronto’s streets is a centuries-old trail that was once the road to wealth, adventure, or violent death for thousands of travellers. Now its route lies hidden and forgotten under sidewalks and farmland, though its influence can still be seen. The Toronto Carrying Place brings Southern Ontario’s most important First Nations trail back to life. Retracing the ancient portage from Lake Ontario to Lake Simcoe, Glenn Turner reveals the dramatic events and extraordinary characters that marked Toronto’s earliest days, and shows how the path played a crucial role in the history of the Wendat (Huron), Haudenosaunee (Iroquois), and Mississauga First Nations. Toronto’s French and English heritage is also explored, and reminders of the Carrying Place are discovered in unlikely places along its forty-five-kilometre route. Many photographs, maps, and reproductions offer both hikers and armchair voyageurs a look at what remains today of this fascinating portage trail, and an insight into how it has affected the growth of the Greater Toronto Area.
