The Crimson Tide is one of the most storied and decorated football programs in NCAA history--since its inception in 1892, the program has claimed 14 National Championship titles, all of which are explored in this essential guide, along with the personalities, events, and facts that any and every Tide fan should know. The book zeros in on critical moments, such as when running back Mark Ingram became the first Alabama player to win the Heisman Trophy in 2009, despite the team being led to six championships from 1958 to 1982 by the celebrated coach Paul "Bear" Bryant, as well as key figures from the college's history that include coaches Gene Stallings and Nick Saban and players Joe Namath, Ozzie Newsome, and Derrick Thomas. More than a century of team history is distilled to highlight the absolute best and most compelling moments, identifying in an informative and lively way the personalities, events, and facts that have all come together to make Crimson Tide the powerhouse that it is. This updated version includes highlights from the 2009 and 2011 championship seasons and features key players from the past four years.

When coach Nick Saban arrived in Tuscaloosa in 2007, he boldly proclaimed “We want to be a champion in everything that we do.” Since that time, Alabama has won three national championships and become the nation’s number one destination for recruits and the top source of NFL talent while simultaneously graduating its players. No other program has won more games, captured more awards, or come close to approaching the kind of consistent success as the Crimson Tide. In Nick Saban vs. College Football , author Christopher Walsh not only explains what separates Saban from his peers and compares his accomplishments to some of the all-time legends, but tells why, if there were a Mount Rushmore of college football coaches, Saban’s face would already be on it. From his upbringing in West Virginia to his relationship with legendary coach Bill Belichick, “the process” has not only led to Saban having a statue along Alabama’s “Walk of Champions” in front of Bryant-Denny Stadium, but the establishment of a new standard that may be unparalleled in college football history.

""The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) is a publication of the American Psychiatric Association, and is written with input from a large number of clinical experts-not just psychiatrists-in different specialty areas related to mental health. The DSM describes the signs and symptoms of all psychiatric conditions, and provides criteria to guide treatment providers in deciding whether an individual has a recognized mental disorder. The DSM has been in use since 1952, and the current, fifth edition, DSM-5, was published in 2013. Each revision to the DSM has been aimed at improving the usefulness of the manual. Eating disorders are considered psychiatric illnesses and are therefore listed in DSM-5. Eating disorders are listed in a section called Feeding and Eating Disorders. But, as a shorthand, we are going to refer to all the disorders in this section of DSM-5 as eating disorders. The diagnostic criteria for eating disorders in DSM-5 are different from what came before, in DSM-IV; in the DSM-5, changes were made that aimed to clarify some items, and to make the criteria relevant to all groups of patients (for example, adolescents as well as adults, males as well as females).
