A moving elegy . . . to] the best team the majors ever saw . . . the Brooklyn Dodgers of the 1950s. --New York Times

The classic narrative of growing up within shouting distance of Ebbets Field, covering the Jackie Robinson Dodgers, and what's happened to everybody since.

This is a book about young men who learned to play baseball during the 1930s and 1940s, and then went on to play for one of the most exciting major-league ball clubs ever fielded, the team that broke the color barrier with Jackie Robinson. It is a book by and about a sportswriter who grew up near Ebbets Field, and who had the good fortune in the 1950s to cover the Dodgers for the Herald Tribune. This is a book about what happened to Jackie, Carl Erskine, Pee Wee Reese, and the others when their glory days were behind them. In short, it is a book about America, about fathers and sons, prejudice and courage, triumph and disaster, and told with warmth, humor, wit, candor, and love.

Not as effective
I don't find the chewable as effective as the ones that dissolve. These don't seem to give me the same relaxing quality.

A Year’s Supply in One Bottle, But 10mg is Potent
I picked this up mainly for the value factor. Getting 360 tablets in one bottle means I don't have to think about reordering for a very long time, which is convenient. The "fast dissolve" claim holds up well. You don't need water to take them; they break down quickly in your mouth without leaving a gritty residue. The berry flavor is decent—since it is naturally sweetened, it doesn't have that harsh chemical aftertaste that some sugar-free brands have, though it is slightly chalky compared to a gummy. The main thing to be aware of is the dosage. 10mg is a heavy dose if you are accustomed to the standard 3mg or 5mg tablets. It definitely works to put you out quickly, but I found that 10mg can be a bit overkill for a standard night. The nice thing about the tablet form (vs. a capsule) is that they are easy to snap in half if you want to taper down to a 5mg dose to avoid feeling groggy the next morning. If you have a high tolerance, this is a great bulk buy, but beginners should probably start with half.

A primal book on being a Leader and Being a Servant
Format: Kindle
I believe I would spend much hours, and perusing Greenleaf, its so simple and easy to grasp, yet profound and worthy of reflexion, action and again meditation one would find that Hesse's "Journey to the East" will projetc the light of another protagonist, then Journey itself, because its the Journey that brought the new enligment, the growth and change, everything that happens in it is relevant, indispensable and necessary, therefore it behooves us to read Greenleaf's Servant as Leader, many times over while we ourselves take this Servant Leadership Journey, with its help maybe we will discover a a new and magnificent way to better ourselves, and help others grow, develop their potential and become themselves Servant Leaders, there is a great need in todays world for this type of mindset, have you started your journey?? Grab this book, and follow along, you certainly will not regret i!

No other way
Format: Kindle
I found “servant-leadership” as the best way to lead by the simple fact that, despite or even in spite of being counter intuitive and a paradox in itself, it is what Jesus showed us as “the way” - Do you want to lead? Be the last. That’s leading.
