Sinossi

The Value of Agon by Emanuele Isidori takes readers on an in-depth exploration of the ancient Greek concept of agon, understood as structured competition, assembly, and confrontation. Far beyond simple athletic contests, the agon was a cultural and civic institution through which individuals pursued arete (excellence), justice was enacted, and shared values were affirmed. Drawing inspiration from Werner Jaeger’s seminal work Paideia: The Ideals of Greek Culture (1945), Isidori presents the agon as a model for holistic education that integrates physical, moral, and intellectual development.The book is further enriched by three essays offering diverse perspectives on the continuing relevance of the agon. Antonio Sánchez-Pato discusses its role as an educational tool against violence, showing how ritualized competition promoted self-control and cooperation. Francisco Javier López Frías examines the connection between agon and democratic ideals, emphasizing its ethical and social dimensions. Together, these contributions reveal how the ancient Greek agon offers valuable lessons for contemporary education, civic life, and sport.

    On the Water is a gorgeously written collection of essays that all take place on or near the water and pay tribute to the flora and fauna associated with those ecosystems. There are essays about the finer points of tickling rainbow trout in the streams of Normandy, and of eagles and ospreys fishing for bass while barely breaking the surface of the water. There are stories of droughts and floods, of dogs and boats, of worms and rattlesnakes, and even of catching and cooking soft-shell turtles that taste like osso-bucco. 
     
     
     
    There is fishing and diving in the Bahamas, tarpon fishing in the Florida Keys, and fly fishing for sailfish in Central America. And there are larger-than-life personalities that are bigger than the fish tales they tell! On the Water is a finely honed and well crafted collection of tales for the true sportsman and makes for a perfect companion volume to la Valdene's celebrated collection of essays on hunting.

Some players work hard on perfecting their mechanics, but eventually get stuck and stop improving.
