Glory Days
Author: L. Jon Wertheim
Publisher: Mariner Books
ISBN: 1328637247
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 349
Book Description
A rollicking guided tour of one extraordinary summer, when some of the most pivotal and freakishly coincidental stories all collided and changed the way we think about modern sports The summer of 1984 was a watershed moment in the birth of modern sports when the nation watched Michael Jordan grow from college basketball player to professional athlete and star. That summer also saw ESPN's rise to media dominance as the country's premier sports network and the first modern, commercialized, profitable Olympics. Magic Johnson and Larry Bird's rivalry raged, Martina Navratilova and John McEnroe reigned in tennis, and Hulk Hogan and Vince McMahon made pro wrestling a business, while Donald Trump pierced the national consciousness as a pro football team owner. It was an awakening in the sports world, a moment when sports began to morph into the market-savvy, sensationalized, moneyed, controversial, and wildly popular arena we know today. In the tradition of Bill Bryson's One Summer: America, 1927, L. Jon Wertheim captures these 90 seminal days against the backdrop of the nostalgia-soaked 1980s, to show that this was the year we collectively traded in our ratty Converses for a pair of sleek, heavily branded, ingeniously marketed Nikes. This was the year that sports went big-time.

Pages : 406
Book Description
When Jack gets a second chance at love, he knows he has to take it, even if it means leaving his entire life behind and time travelling to 1984. Jack can't wait to leave his high school tormentors, his ex and his junior office clerk job in the past. But living in 1984 isn't the bright future he'd hoped for either. Working as a server at the diner and sleeping on his English teacher's couch was not part of the plan. But a trip to LA changes everything. Jack comes up with an idea for how he can make a lot of money from this time travelling thing, and he meets someone who turns his whole world around. Will Jack heed the warnings of using time travel for financial gain? Even if it means all his wildest dreams could come true? And will Jack finally find true love? Find out in Summer of 1984, the follow up to the Amazon best seller Class of 1983. Like a Back to the Future Part II, Valley Girl and Sixteen Candles mash-up with a dash of Sweet Valley High for good measure, this is a story about facing your demons, heartache and hope, and the power to choose who you want to be in the future.
