 Dropping
the Ball: Baseball's Troubles and How We Can and Must Solve Them
by
Dave Winfield and
Michael Levin (Hardcover - Mar 20,
2007) Revenue has never been higher, attendance has never been better, and
baseball has never had a stronger international presence. Yet, with all
of the prosperity, the game has rarely faced more significant problems,
both in the headlines and deep within our communities. Steroid scandals,
labor strife, self-centered superstars, a dramatic decline in the number
of African American players and fans, constraints on Little League facilities
and resources, and competition from trendier sports and entertainment options
all threaten the foundations of our national pastime. |

 Love
in Black and White: A Memoir of Race, Religion, and Romance
by
William S. Cohen with
Janet Langhart Cohen (Author)
(Hardcover - Feb 25, 2007) Most Americans regard the World War
II period as belonging to the greatest generation, but it was also a time
when religious intolerance and racial violence flourished. It is within
this world that this compelling memoir is set. Against impossible odds,
Bill would be elected to serve his country as a U.S. Congressman and Senator,
and Janet would become a prominent television personality, activist, and
highly respected businesswoman and author. This powerful book is one of
inspiration, hope and ultimately the redemption of America's soul. |

 Silent
Gesture: The Autobiography of Tommie Smith (Sporting)
by
Tommie Smith and
David Steele (Author) (Hardcover -
Feb 28, 2007) At the
1968 Olympics in Mexico City,
Tommie Smith and his teammate
John Carlos came in first and third,
respectively, in the 200-meter dash. As they received their medals, each
man raised a black-gloved fist, creating an image that will always stand
as an iconic representation of the complicated conflations of race, politics,
and sports. In this, his autobiography, Smith fills out the story around
that moment--how it came to be and where it led him. Smith engagingly describes
his life-long commitment to athletics, education, and human rights. He also
dispels some of the myths surrounding his famous gesture of protest: contrary
to legend, Smith was not a member of the
Black Panthers, nor were his medals
taken back by the Olympic Committee. Retelling the fear he felt in planning
and carrying out his protest, the death threats against him, his difficulty
in finding work, and his determination to live his values, he conveys the
long, painful backlash that came with his fame, and his fate, all of which
was wrapped up in his ''silent gesture.'' |
 Supreme
Conflict: The Inside Story of the Struggle for Control of the United States
Supreme Court by
Jan Crawford Greenburg (Author) (Hardcover
- Jan 23, 2007) With its closed chambers and formal language, the
Supreme Court tends to deflect drama
away from its vastly powerful proceedings. But its mysteries hold plenty
of intrigue for anyone with the access to uncover them. In
Supreme Conflict,
Jan Crawford Greenburg has that access,
and then some. With high-placed sourcing that would make
Bob Woodward proud, she tells the story
of the Court's recent decades and of the often-thwarted attempts by three
conservative presidents to remake the Court in their image. Among the revelations
are the surprising influence of the most-maligned justice,
Clarence Thomas, and the political
impact of personal relations among these nine very human colleagues-for-life.
Written for everyday readers rather than legal scholars, her account sidesteps
theoretical subtleties for a compelling story of the personalities who breathe
life into our laws. |

 Unconfessed
by
Yvette Christianse (Author) (Hardcover
- Nov 15, 2006) A fiercely poetic literary debut re-creating the life of
an 18th-century slave woman in South Africa. Slavery as it existed in Africa
has seldom been portrayed—and never with such texture, detail, and authentic
emotion. Inspired by actual 18th-century court records,
Unconfessed is a breathtaking
literary tour de force. |
