Under Jackie's Shadow
"Oral histories of Black minor league baseball players who played in the post-Jackie Robinson era, from the 1960s to the mid-1970s, who were figuratively and literally left behind as both baseball and the country claimed a newfound racial progressiveness"--
The Kantian Imperative
"In this book, the author challenges this interpretation by arguing that Kant's 'imperative' is actually based on a problematic appeal to 'common sense' and that it is premised on, and seeks to further cultivate and intensity, the feeling of humiliation in every moral subject. Discerning the influence of this model on historical and contemporary political thought and philosophy, the author explores its particular impact on the work of two contemporary thinkers: Charles Taylor and Jürgen Habermas. The author also shows that an analysis of the Kantian imperative allows a better understanding of specific current political issues, such as the U.S. military scandal at Abu Ghraib in Iraq, and of broader ones, such as post-9/11 foreign policy. This book thus demonstrates that Kant's moral philosophy and political theory are as relevant today as at any other time in history." -- Half t.p.
A Century of Sports at the University of Nebraska at Kearney
For more than 100 years, students at the University of Nebraska at Kearney (formerly Kearney State and the Nebraska State Teachers College) have worn the blue and gold of the Antelopes. Within these pages are more than 200 photographs that chronicle the storied history of athletics at the University of Nebraska at Kearney. Legendary coaches such as Fred Fulmer, Charlie Foster, Al Zikmund, and Jerry Hueser are highlighted along with the star athletes they coached, including Pat Panek, Frank Lydic, Larry Snell, Randy Rasmussen, Tom Kropp, and Bart Kofoed. Also appearing in these pages are coach George Van Buren, who, beginning in 1910, helped shape the early sports program, and lesser-known but equally important athletes such as multisport standouts Earl "Irish" Carrig, Ronald "the Farnam Flash" Lewis, and Ray Adams. Besides athletes, coaches, and championship teams, the intense rivalry with Hastings College is highlighted throughout. A Century of Sports at the University of Nebraska at Kearney offers a compelling visual history that will take the Antelope faithful on a journey back to the glory days of the school's athletics.
