Awesome Framework for Negotiating!
I found this book to be a real treasure and entertaining at the same time. And best of all, you don't need to be a sports fan to appreciate the examples Steinberg uses. It is a shame that some readers have found this book shallow and only written to brag about his ...

heart-wrenching story of survival

Eagle Blue: A Team, a Tribe, and a High School Basketball Season in Arctic Alaska
Michael D'Orso
Bloomsbury USA

Splendid effort
I've read many books about a sports season that, in a boring way, review game highlights. D'Orso reviews the entire culture, what basketball means in bush country, Alaska, in prose that is wonderful and intelligent.
