  A sociologist and oral historian explores the interwoven histories of sports and civil rights activism in this extensively researched volume. 
   
  In 1968, noted sociologist Harry Edwards established the Olympic Project for Human Rights, calling for a boycott of that year's games in Mexico City as a demonstration against racial discrimination. Though the boycott never materialized, Edwards's ideas struck a chord with athletes and incited African American Olympians Tommie Smith and John Carlos to protest by raising their black-gloved fists on the podium after receiving their medals. 
   
  Sidelined draws upon a wide range of historical materials and more than forty oral histories with athletes and administrators to explore how the black athletic revolt used professional and college sports to promote the struggle for civil rights in the late 1960s. By examining activists' successes and failures in promoting racial equality on one of the most public stages in the world, Henderson sheds new light on an often-overlooked subject and gives voice to those who fought for civil rights both on the field and off.

  Esta vida material está basada simplemente en la lujuria; nosotros queremos disfrutar de este mundo, y amamos a este mundo material porque queremos gratificar nuestros sentidos. Esta lujuria es un reflejo pervertido de nuestro amor por Dios. En nuestra constitución original estamos hechos para amar a la Personalidad de Dios, pero debido a que nos hemos olvidado de Dios, amamos la materia. Por naturaleza la entidad viviente es perfecta, pero debido a la contaminación de esta lujuria, ella se vuelve viciosa; aquello que es parte y porción del oro también es oro, por lo tanto, cualquier cosa que sea parte o porción del todo perfecto también es perfecto. Igualmente por la invocación del sri Isopanisad- leemos que,” La personalidad de Dios es perfecta y completa, y debido a que Él es completamente perfecto, todo lo que emana de Él, tal como este mundo de fenómenos, está perfectamente equipado como un todo completo. Todo lo que se produce del todo completo también está completo en sí mismo. Debido a que Él es el todo completo, aunque tantas unidades completas que emanen de Él, Él permanece completo en lo remanente”. Debido a la contaminación de la materia, la perfecta entidad viviente cae, pero el proceso de la conciencia de Krishna hará que ella sea otra vez perfecta. A través de este proceso, ella puede volverse realmente feliz, y después de abandonar el cuerpo material, puede entrar en el reino donde la vida es eterna bienaventurada y plena de conocimiento.

  The Evolution of Irish...

  Professor Tom Garvin's classic work studies the growth of nationalism in Ireland from the middle of the eighteenth century to modern times.
  
  It traces the continuity of tradition from earlier organisations, such as the United Irishmen and the agrarian Ribbonmen of the eighteenth century, through the followers of Daniel O'Connell, the Fenians and the Land League in the nineteenth century to the Irish political parties of today, including Sinn Féin, Fianna Fáil, Labour Party and Fine Gael.
  
  The dual nature of Irish nationalism is shown in sharp focus. Despite the secular and liberal leanings of many Irish leaders and theoreticians, their followers were frequently sectarian and conservative in social outlook. This book demonstrates how this dual legacy has influenced the politics of modern Ireland.

  The Zen Teaching of Huang Po -...

  Huang Po

  This complete collection of teachings by the 9th century Zen Master has been an essential text in the study of Zen for centuries—now available in English. 
   
  This translation of the original collection of sermons, dialogues, and anecdotes of Huang Po, the illustrious Chinese master of the Tang Dynasty, allows the Western reader to gain an understanding of Zen from the original source, one of the key works in its teachings. It also offers deep and often startling insights into the rich treasures of Eastern thought.  
   
  Nowhere is the use of paradox in Zen illustrated better than in the teaching of Huang Po, who is regarded as the founder of the great Lin Chi sect. He demonstrates that the experience of intuitive knowledge, which reveals to a man what he is, cannot be communicated in words. With the help of these paradoxes, beautifully and simply presented in this collection, Huang Po could set his disciples on the right path. It is in this fashion that the Zen master lead his listener into truth, often by a single phrase designed to destroy his particular demon of ignorance. 
   
  John Blofeld’s translation reflects his deep understanding of Zen and gives this historical text a clear and faithful presentation.
