<p>This dynamic and often startling book not only examines every offensive and defensive position but also takes the reader into the world of the men behind the cameras - the coaches and scouts, the broadcasters and writers, the lost world of the minor leagues and their busted franchises and bouncing paychecks.</p>

A Thinking Man's Guide to Pro Football

Paul Zimmerman

Warner Paperback

The fallout from nuclear detonations, routine and accidental releases of radionuclides from commercial nuclear power plants and the debris of depleted uranium weapons endanger the health of exposed populations. To cover-up the extent of illness created by these activities, a fraudulent science of radiation effects has been promulgated which forms the basis for current standards of radiation safety. Using scientific fact as the arbitrator for truth, A Primer in the Art of Deception meticulously deconstructs the matrix of lies that to date have successfully run interference for all deeds that scatter radioactivity into the environment. In the chapter from which the book derives its name, government sponsored distortions of known facts surrounding the effects of depleted uranium are exposed. In The Most Heinous Crime in History: The Betrayal of Mankind by the Radiation Protection Agencies, evidence is presented which demonstrates how outdated concepts of radiation effects have been left intentionally uncorrected in order to deceive the general public of the health effects of internal contamination with radionuclides. The Chicanery of the U.S. Radiation Accident Registry unveils the charade sponsored by the Department of Energy that falsifies the extent of radiation accidents and the hazards created when radioactive material is liberated into the environment. In The Harlot of Babylon Unmasked: Fraudulent Science and the Cover-Up of the Health Effects of Depleted Uranium, up-to-date research on the biological effects of depleted uranium is reviewed, exposing the corrupted science incorporated into a number of authoritative texts that have given uranium weapons a clean bill of health. Taken together, these chapters expose the most notorious deception in history, the lie that low levels of internal contamination from nuclear pollution are not a hazard to health.

A Primer in the Art of Deception

<p>1984 EditionAs Sports Illustrated's pro football genius-in-residence, Paul Zimmerman ("Dr Z") has established himself as the presiding dean of America's pro football writers.  Now, critics, sports writers and fans across America are cheering The NEW Thinking Man's Guide to Pro Football as the worthy heir to Zimmerman's 1971 classic The Thinking Man's Guide to Pro Football, which Howard Cosell called "the best book of its kind I've ever read."  Far more than a revision, The NEW Thinking Man's Guide to Pro Football is virtually a brand-new book (in 1984) prompted by, as Zimmerman writes in his introduction, "a whole new generation of players and coaches (who have) given rise to a new set of reflections about a world that is ever changing."  Zimmerman examines positions, tactics, the great players and moments of peak performance, football scouting, broadcasting, minor leagues, the rule changes of the pst decade and how they have inspired new playing stategies (crisply illustrated with diagrams).  And with characteristic verve, insight and no-nonsense prose, Zimmerman pays close attention to the effect of football''s pounding nose-to-nose competition on the everyday player's personality.</p>
