Our Earth: Global Warming the Evidence

Peter Murray

For thousands of years man has been fascinated with balls. It is easy to imagine cavemen hitting round stones with sticks for amusement. The Egyptians, Romans and then Christian Monks played games which involved hitting a small ball with a stick, which eventually became a bat, and then a racquet. From these humble beginnings the game of lawn tennis evolved. Today tennis is played in every continent by tens of millions of people. The game has now grown to become a multi-billion dollar industry. This beautifully illustrated book details the history of tennis, how it is played, its rules, regulations, and controversies. It also contains fascinating in-depth biographies of many of the most famous tennis players in the world, documenting their triumphs, tragedies, and personal traumas.

This 40th anniversary book can serve a number of purposes. It can remind all of us what we were capable of doing and can still do; it highlights the many individuals who were involved in making it happen; and it can be a salute to all the other astronauts involved in the overall Apollo project and its many successes. In the shape and texture of the moon s surface It s important that we reflect upon and celebrate our experiences, to learn from them and to push for more small steps and giant leaps. "One Small Step" commemorates the 40th Anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon Landing and all of those individuals who helped make it a success. It inspires us to keep dreaming and reaching while saluting the mission and those who made it happen. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do and that it will rouse you to take at least one small step of your own. Dr. Buzz Aldrin APOLLO 11 LUNAR MODULE PILOT
