      The Middle School Rules of Mike Evans

      • 176 pages
      • 7 hours of reading

      Before he starred for one of the most dynamic offenses in college and the pros, he had to survive middle school. Mike Evans is entering his eighth season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The three-time Pro Bowl selection is one of the NFL's most consistent and feared receivers. He played a key role in helping the Buccaneers win Super Bowl LV, leading his team in every major receiving category during the regular season and catching 11 passes for 204 yards and two touchdowns in the postseason. He and his wife, Ashli, started the Mike Evans Family Foundation in 2017, focusing on empowering youth, encouraging education, and taking a stand against domestic violence. The Middle School Rules of Mike Evans highlights the adversity Mike had to overcome in his childhood, the impact of growing up in Galveston (an island city on the Gulf Coast of Texas that was greatly affected by Hurricane Ike), and the people who shaped him most--especially after the devastating loss of his father.

      • 4 hours of reading

      Florida's historical significance during the Civil War era is often overshadowed by its popular attractions. As the third state to secede from the Union, it held a unique position, notable for its small population, which earned it the nickname "smallest tadpole in the dirty pool of secession." This perspective sheds light on Florida's complex role in American history, contrasting the state's vibrant tourism image with its political past.

      Still making sensational live appearances on the international concert circuit, the Who have been rivaled only by the Rolling Stones as an enduring rock phenomenon for over half a century. From their early days as the Detours, they were at the vanguard of the mod movement in the mid-1960s, in 1965 striking gold as the Who with "Can't Explain," followed by "My Generation" which became a true anthem of its time. Through the triumphs of Pete Townshend's ambitious creations in Tommy and Quadrophenia, to the tragedy of the passing of drummer Keith Moon and bass player Jon Entwistle, the book follows the group's tumultuous history via incisive text, archive reviews and interviews, and a track-by-track summary of all the Who's studio and live albums. Sumptuously illustrated with a wealth of color and black-and-white photography, plus album art and other graphic ephemera, The Who: Much Too Much is a must-have celebration of one of the key names in rock music history.
