- The art of winning : lessons from my life in football / by Belichick, Bill,author.;
"No one embodies winning more than Bill Belichick, the greatest football coach of all time. Over the past fifty years, Belichick has been a man of notoriously few words, believing that a coach should keep a low profile. After he left the Patriots in 2024, he briefly became a coach without a team. He spent that year writing down the principles he learned from his father, Navy football, and from his forty-nine-year coaching career. Belichick's philosophy goes far beyond football. He presents a whole-year, whole-life, whole-mindset approach to greatness that encompasses preparation, motivation, confidence, and leadership. The principles in this book are adaptable to wherever you work. No matter where you are on the ladder, they will help you think like a leader in anticipation of being one. Drawing on decades of studying the greats of the game, handling colorful personalities and egos, and playing for the highest stakes in sports, Belichick shares memorable examples and practical takeaways from his lived experience. Winning is not about being perfect-it's about growth. And you will improve only as much as you recognize where you're weak. Belichick owns up to mistakes like deciding to go for it on 4th and 13 in the 2008 Super Bowl. Then he breaks down how to learn from your mistakes like a leader does -- an approach that sustained him throughout his early career challenges and ultimately brought him to the top of the sport. Belichick's principles might surprise you at times. At other times, they might seem strangely obvious. (His rule for how to win football games? Score the most points.) Football is about strategy, human nature, and business. Your vision of success might involve breaking into a new, competitive market in your industry; seeing solid returns on a portfolio that you've carefully prepared; inspiring your students to earn the highest scores in the district; or raising up trainees to take over your job someday. Whatever the situation, your performance is up to you. Practical, authoritative, and bursting with unforgettable inside stories, The Art of Winning is an indispensable guide to success from the greatest coach in NFL history"--- Subjects: Biographies.; Self-help publications.; Personal narratives.; Belichick, Bill.; Leadership.; Self-actualization (Psychology); Success.;

- Karuara, People of the River. by Araoz Cartagena, Miguel,film director.; Boyd, Stephanie,film director.; New Day Films (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
Originally produced by New Day Films in 2024.Mariluz Canaquiri says her river is more than just a body of water, it’s a living being. Beneath the surface lies a world of spirits led by the Karuara, which means “people of the river” in her Indigenous language. The film’s stunning hand painted animations take viewers into this magical universe where spirits lounge in hammocks made of boa constrictors and play sardine poker. Behind their playfulness, the Karuara are metaphysical ecologists who maintain the delicate balance of life in the Amazon’s rivers. But Mariluz says the old ways are being forgotten and her people face cultural genocide. While foreign companies earn millions from the Amazon’s resources, Indigenous communities lack basic health care, high schools and clean water. Mariluz leads a federation of Kukama women who win a groundbreaking lawsuit demanding the Peruvian government recognize their river as a legal person, with rights. In a world that puts a price tag on nature, this film reminds us of our sacred connection to water. This artistically beautiful film has won 12 awards, including the LASA award of merit in film, the UNESCO Dolomites award at the Bolzano film festival and the WACC-SIGNIS Human Rights award. Mariluz Canaquiri, who is also one of the film’s producers, was awarded the prestigious Goldman Environmental Prize for Latin America in 2025.Mode of access: World Wide Web.- Subjects: Documentary films.; Arts.; Social sciences.; Philosophy and religion.; Anthropology.; Motion pictures.; Latin America.; Foreign study.; Documentary films.; Indigenous peoples.; Artists.; Current affairs.; Health.; History.; Animated films.; Spirituality.; Amazon River Region.; Environmental health.; Water.; Peru.; Motion pictures--Latin America.;
