From beanballs to basebrawls, the most important rules governing the game of baseball have never been officially written down—until now.

The award-winning reference book, completely revised updated to take the language and lore of baseball into the next century. The Dickson Baseball Dictionary quickly established it self as the book to go to when you want to know which inning The Catch was made, or needed to find out where the term "fungo" cam from, or couldn’t figure why Vin Scully called that last hit a "frozen rope." The only problem became closing the book: once you dipped into this comprehensive, engaging, entertaining compendium of baseball knowledge, it was almost impossible to pull away. Now the dictionary is bac

In the dangerous world of undercover operations, one wrong move can be the difference between life and death. But in the quiet little town of Snowker, Ohio, the most serious crime that usually occurred was the occasional cat up a tree. This is where Deputy U. S.

This is where he and his family could now live the normal life he had promised his wife and daughter over the frequent relocations associated wit

From the somber ("Lord of the Flies") to the comic ("The Paper Men"), Dickson finds integral to all the novels the motif of the quest into the nature of good and evil. Central themes include th
