Simply Devine - Memoirs of a Hall of Fame Coach

Dan Devine, Michael R. Steele

Synopsis

The legendary college football coach recounts his celebrated career at Arizona State, University of Missouri, and Notre Dame.   In the ultra-competitive world of college football, few coaches ever achieve the glory of leading their teams to the number one ranking in the nation, let alone the National Championship. That’s why the storied career of Dan Devine was so unique. On five different occasions in four different decades, Devine’s teams were contenders for college football’s top ranking, and in 1977 he achieved the ultimate, leading the Notre Dame Fighting Irish to the national title.   In Simply Devine, the College Football Hall of Famer tells his story in his own words. With insight into his winning strategies and teambuilding methods, this is a must-read for college football fans everywhere. This edition also includes a Prologue by Joe Garagiola and an Introduction by Joe Paterno.

Conversations with Isaiah Berlin

Ramin Jahanbegloo

An illuminating and witty dialogue with one of the greatest intellectual figures of the twentieth century. Ramin Jahanbegloo's interview with Isaiah Berlin grew into a series of five conversations which offer an intimate view of Berlin and his ideas. They include discussions on pluralism and liberty as well as the thinkers and writers who influenced Berlin. This revised edition provided an excellent introduction to Berlin's thought. Ramin Jahanbegloo is an Iranian philosopher, who has taught in Europe and North America. In 2006 he was imprisoned for several months in Iran. He is currently teaching Political Philosophy at Toronto University. 'Though like Our Lord and Socrates he does not publish much, he thinks and says a great deal and has had an enormous influence on our times'. Maurice Bowra 'Berlin never talks down to the interviewer. Conversations here means the minds of the interviewed and interviewer meet on equal terms in language that is transparently clear, informed, witty and entertaining'. Stephen Spender 'He is wise without seeming pompous, witty without seeming trivial, affectionate without seeming sentimental'. Michael Ignatieff 'Isaiah Berlin... has for fifty years in this talkative and quarrelsome city (Oxford) been something special, admired by all and disliked by no-one... a benevolent super-don'.
