關於產品
Product Information
Human welfare, happiness and fulfillment are much sought after in our world of social, political and economic upheaval. These are desires that lie at the heart of humanism. We live in a world of social, political, economic, and religious rupture. Ideologies polarise to fuel confrontation within communities, nations and regions of the world. At this point in the twenty-first century, humanism's focus on reason, ethics and justice offers the potential to rethink and re-engage in new ways. What Is Humanism, and Why Does It Matter? brings together leading humanist thinkers and activists to examine humanism and how it can work in the world. Humanism is often misunderstood. The movement includes both atheists and agnostics, who seek to make ethical sense of the world based on shared human values and a concern for human welfare, happiness and fulfillment. What Is Humanism, and Why Does It Matter? presents an overview and exploration of the meaning and nature of humanism, both as a philosophy and as a way of engaging with the challenges of the world. Praise for this volume: "This is a must read for all who claim belief in a deity. It demonstrates how one has, as a Christian, more in common with one's humanist brothers and sisters than with other Christians who remain complicit with sexist, racist, classist, and heterosexist structures which deny one's humanity." - Miguel A. De La Torre, Professor of Social Ethics, Illiff School of Theology, USA

"An absolute joy…. We might be witnessing the twilight of a few exponentially more famous long-ball gods at this very moment. Let me be the first to thank John Shulian for putting together a collection of 30-plus reasons why we shouldn't notice."-Justin Hamm,Mudville Magazine, "For baseball fans, John Schulian'sTwilight of the Long-Ball Godsis the perfect antidote to winter. Schulian does something remarkable in this book: He brings to life an all-but-lost world of semipro teams and American Legion ball, of old Negro leagues and the Class D minors. . . . Schulian can flat-out write. Boxing and baseball have, by far, produced our best sports prose, and Schulian crafts sentences with the best of American journalists. Quotidian struggles here become the stuff of literature because American mythology, as Alexis de Tocqueville observed more than a century and a half ago, places the quest for individual success at the center of our national epic."-Elliott J. Gorn,Chicago Tribune, "An absolute joy. . . . We might be witnessing the twilight of a few exponentially more famous long-ball gods at this very moment. Let me be the first to thank John Shulian for putting together a collection of 30-plus reasons why we shouldn't notice."-Justin Hamm, Mudville Magazine, "Schulian puts it all together in prose as sparkling as the view of the sun twinkling off the boats in the harbor from the upper deck in Wrigley Field."-Ron Rapoport,Chicago Sun-Times, "Schulian puts it all together in prose as sparkling as the view of the sun twinkling off the boats in the harbor from the upper deck in Wrigley Field."-Ron Rapoport, Chicago Sun-Times, "An absolute joy. . . .

Let me be the first to thank John Shulian for putting together a collection of 30-plus reasons why we shouldn't notice."-Justin Hamm,Mudville Magazine, "''Long-ball'' a hit even for non-fan. . . . Chapter after chapter of enticing sketches, stories spun of people's dreams, of their hopes, their failures, their ordinariness, their endurance, achievements."-Geeta Sharma-Jensen, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, "One key piece in this volume examines the life and legacy of Negro League great Josh Gibson, weaving together interviews with Josh's son and former team-mates. Schulian's work has been widely anthologized, and aficionados of good baseball writing will appreciate this tome." Library Journal"John Schulian is one of the finest writers of our time, and an excellent reporter with it. He honors baseball with affection, laughter and the truth."-W.C. Heinz, author of What a Time It Was, Run to Daylight and The Professional"I remember virtually all of these stories from the times they were written. These stories are old friends, met in a lifetime of reading just about anything and everything John Schulian ever wrote. To find them gathered together like this is to order up a few rounds of beer in longneck bottles, drop a buck into the jukebox, and know that a very good night awaits."-Leigh Montville, author of Ted Williams"In Twilight of the Long-ball Gods, John Schulian offers the literate sports enthusiast one of the most readable of all baseball collections. From Negro League home-run king Josh Gibson to the incomparable promoter Bill Veeck, on subjects ranging from the legendary to the off-beat, Schulian applies the keen intelligence and insight of the realist and the lyric style of the poet."-William Nack, author of Secretariat and My Turf, "For baseball fans, John Schulian's Twilight of the Long-Ball Gods is the perfect antidote to winter.

Gorn, Chicago Tribune, "TWILIGHT is a nostalgic and romantic look at the game of baseball during a time that very much needs. Give this one a solid 3 balls out of a possible four and make sure you crack it open to read when the modern game, and its crisis,' begin to wear you down."-Athomeplate.com, "Schulian left sportswriting 20 years ago and came to Hollywood to write TV scripts. The time away from sports made him realize what really mattered about the game, and these columns definitely illustrate that."-Tom Hoffarth,Daily News, "Baseball has belonged to poets almost as long as star-crossed love, but who'd have thought Salt Lake City-not exactly the center of the baseball universe-would get its very own baseball poet laureate. . . . As another baseball season works its way into our consciousness . . . Schulian's book is a fresh breeze to combat not only the rainouts, but the wave of steroid scandal that has the game currently cornered. Like all baseball poets, he brings a depth to the subject that transcends its shortcomings."-Lee Benson,Deseret Morning News, "In this sparkling collection of essays, Schulian . . . offers a reminder that baseball hasn''t always been about endorsements, million-dollar deals, and agents. . . . Schulian is one of the very best sportswriters of the latter part of the twentieth century. His work resonates with time and place, compassion, and humanity. This is a wonderful collection that deserves a huge audience."-Booklist, "[The stories focus on the lesser-known corners of the game, such as semipro ball, sandlot leagues and the old Negro Leagues, and they are all gems."-Henry Kisor, Chicago Sun-Times, "In this sparkling collection of essays, Schulian . . . offers a reminder that baseball hasn''t always been about endorsements, million-dollar deals, and agents. . . .
