by Chicago Tribune StaffDerrick Rose is a collection of articles, interviews, and features that originally appeared in the Chicago Tribune, as written by the award-winning journalists who followed the Chicago Bulls superstar's yearlong saga of injury and recovery, and his short-lived return for the 2013-2014 season.Chicago's vibrant and discursive sports culture has perhaps never been more fully on display than during Derrick Rose's lost season. Following his gut-wrenching knee injury in the 2012 playoffs, Rose began the Bulls' 2012-2013 campaign recovering and rehabilitating, and neither team nor player definitively declared a date for his return.As rumors swirled of Rose's estimated return to a scrappy Bulls team, local fans became increasingly frustrated. Debate raged over talk radio and the blogosphere, misinformation would spread like wildfire, snappy soundbites became amplified like city air raid sirens, and grainy video clips of Rose practicing would be pored over with investigative scrutiny.This book takes readers on the 2012-2013 season's roller-coaster ride of speculation and hope, and concludes with the initial optimism surrounding Rose's 2013 preseason promise and the eventual devastation of his second season-ending injury. Derrick Rose is the full story of Chicago's homegrown superstar as only the Chicago Tribune could tell it.
Desafío extremo: Aventuras y desventuras por los 5 continentes
by Jesús Calleja María RuizAventuras y desventuras por los 5 continentes, protagonizado por Jesús Calleja. «Mi ascensión al Everest (8.850) ha sido la experiencia más emocionante de mi vida». Cumplí un sueño infantil en un año en que el clima de la montaña fue muy adverso y pocos conseguimos su cima. El mismo año alcancé una cumbre menor pero muy inaccesible: el monte Vinson, en la Antártida. Es un viaje repleto de anécdotas que me abrió a un continente inhóspito y espectacular. Os confirmo que el Kilimanjaro (5.896) posee toda la magia de África. Nos os perdáis esa montaña porque, si vais bien preparados y os aclimatáis adecuadamente, podéis con ella. El Rally de los Faraones ha sido la prueba más dura de afrontar debido a las lesiones que arrastraba. Pero hacer huella a 70 km/h en el desierto blanco de Egipto bien vale un sufrimiento extremo. Adentrarme en el río helado del Zanskar, en el desconocido valle del Ladakh, India, es una aventura a la vieja usanza, en la que te levantas a treinta grados bajo cero al raso y no tienes ni remota idea del día que te espera. La expedición al Polo Norte es otro viaje radical al confín del mundo, duro pero divertido a rabiar. En el Aconcagua (6.959), una montaña a la que he tenido que acudir dos veces para hacer cima, he culminado mi proyecto alpinístico de escalar las siete cumbres más altas de los continentes.
