Book Description
Think about this: we spend a third of our life sleeping and dreaming, yet we know very little about this part of our existence. Many people forget their dreams as soon as they wake up, or dismiss them as meaningless and insignificant. Not me. I have discovered the secret of dream lucidity (or magic dreaming). This means you're aware that you're dreaming and can control what happens. The more you practice, the better you become at it. You can choose where you go, what you do and who you meet (well, usually). So you see, there is a whole other dimension out there, waiting to be discovered, and trust me - it's a thousand times more thrilling than the 'awake' world. But you have to be careful. It can also be very dangerous... Jack is the first to start magic dreaming. He learns the art during visits to his Great Granny Georgia. The exploration of this new world requires its own vocabulary and Jack provides a glossary at the start of the book to help the reader understand terms such as Dream Maps, Dream Symbols and Anchor Objects. One night Jack is astonished to encounter his school friend Evie in a shared dream. Later they are joined by Mouse and Betsy. The four friends learn the secret of meeting up in dreams and together they form the Dream Squad. Their adventures take a dark turn when they encounter Dream Trapping. This involves locking someone in a dream or nightmare so that they don't wake up in the 'real' world. The person behind this rare but terrifying phenomenon is their ruthless head teacher, Miss Longbottom. She is on a mission to gain power over the children in the school. She is assisted by her black vulture, the most dangerous bird in the dream world and a 'carrier' of nightmares. The Dream Squad is soon immersed in a dangerous and exhilarating quest to free Mr Burley, their chemistry teacher, who has been 'trapped' in a dream by Miss Longbottom. To prevent themselves from becoming imprisoned with him they must face and conquer their own personal fears. They soon discover that Miss Longbottom has her own demons, and that these need to be overcome too.

Book Description
Award-winning entrepreneur and journalist Shane Snow reveals the counterintuitive reasons why so many partnerships and groups break down--and why some break through. The best teams are more than the sum of their parts, but why does collaboration so often fail to fulfill this promise? In Dream Teams, Snow takes us on an adventure through history, neuroscience, psychology, and business, exploring what separates groups that simply get by together from those that get better together. You'll learn: * How ragtag teams--from soccer clubs to startups to gangs of pirates--beat the odds throughout history. * Why DaimlerChrysler flopped while the Wu-Tang Clan succeeded, and the surprising factor behind most failed mergers, marriages, and partnerships. * What the Wright Brothers' daily arguments can teach us about group problem solving. * Pioneering women in law enforcement, unlikely civil rights collaborators, and underdog armies that did the incredible together. * The team players behind great social movements in history, and the science of becoming open-minded. Provocative and entertaining, Dream Teams is a landmark work that will change the way we think about people, progress, and collaboration.

Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Acclaimed sports journalist Jack McCallum delivers the untold story of the greatest team ever assembled: the 1992 U.S. Olympic Men’s Basketball Team. As a writer for Sports Illustrated, McCallum enjoyed a courtside seat for the most exciting basketball spectacle on earth, covering the Dream Team from its inception to the gold medal ceremony in Barcelona. Drawing on fresh interviews with the players, McCallum provides the definitive account of the Dream Team phenomenon. He offers a behind-the-scenes look at the controversial selection process. He takes us inside the team’s Olympic suites for late-night card games and bull sessions where superstars like Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, and Larry Bird debated the finer points of basketball. And he narrates a riveting account of the legendary intrasquad scrimmage that pitted the Dream Teamers against one another in what may have been the greatest pickup game in history. In the twenty years since the Dream Team first captivated the world, its mystique has only grown. Dream Team vividly re-creates the moment when a once-in-a-millennium group of athletes came together and changed the future of sports—one perfectly executed fast break at a time. With a new Afterword by the author. “The absolute definitive work on the subject, a perfectly wonderful once-you-pick-it-up-you-won’t-be-able-to-put-it-down book.”—The Boston Globe “An Olympic hoops dream.”—Newsday “What makes this volume a must-read for nostalgic hoopsters are the robust portraits of the outsize personalities of the participants, all of whom were remarkably open with McCallum, both then and now.”—Booklist (starred review)

Book Description
Every once in a while something happens in the world of sports that reminds us all why we care about such things. This book is the remarkable, untold story of the greatest team you've never heard of, the wrestling team of Cornell College, a private Methodist liberal arts college with only 415 male students, which won the NCAA wrestling championship in 1947, defeating all the major powers by a substantial margin. This tiny Iowa college thus became the first school outside of the state of Oklahoma ever to win the team championship since teams were officially recognized by the NCAA; no other private school before or since has done so. Not only that, but with the help of the town of Mount Vernon, and a fund-raising drive, the champions traveled to San Francisco and won the equally prestigious National AAU championship two weeks later, thus completing the grand slam of amateur wrestling. The Dream Team of 1947 is a classic David and Goliath story that transcends the sport.
