Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the cutting edge of sport, where winners go one way and losers the other, Ian Wooldridge made his living as a journalist. His shrewd eye went straight to the heart of sport's pressure situations, unerringly detecting courage in the competitors, and raising the spirits of his readers with his celebration of genuine heroism. His style was at one and the same time convulsively amusing and acidic. He saw the funny side, yet he was merciless in his search for the truth. SEARCHING FOR HEROES is a collection of Ian's articles on his heroes - including Mohammed Ali, Shane Warne and George Best - as well as articles on events and personalities that were on the receiving end of his more acerbic commentaries. Wooldridge brought back an intelligence to modern sports journalism, and an idealism that had become somewhat tarnished. To Ian Wooldridge sport was more than a game.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Searching for Heroes in Life, Vol. 2: What the Coronavirus Pandemic Tells Us about Heroes, author Charles Brookins Taylor Sr. delves into the far-reaching impact the COVID-19 pandemic is having throughout America, and worldwide, and how it affects every aspect of life. Through the combination of observing and dialoguing with heroes from a broad sector of society, he shows how the pandemic highlights these heroes like never before. Taylor draws upon Abraham Maslow’s famous Hierarchy of Needs—physiological, security, social, esteem, and self-actualization—as a tool for understanding the deep desire for heroes who help meet our needs and remind us we’re not alone. In addition, he shows how the want for self-actualization includes a need for spiritual self-actualization, which helps us understand how the spiritual realm transcends the physical realm yet permeates and operate within it. During the coronavirus pandemic, a time when many are experiencing pain, distress, and hardship, causing them to feel hopeless, Searching for Heroes in Life, Vol. 2 encourages us to believe God is ultimately in control and wants us to know all things, the good and bad, work together for the good of those who love him.

Book excerpt: What makes an honourable man and who are the heroes of our time? Five in-depth stories of seven remarkable men allow us to explore the concept of hero. Mythical heroes went on dangerous adventures fighting legendary battles and monsters. Modern heroes face frontiers of a different kind. The seven men who tell their story in In Search of Heroes shine with spirit and passion. They are men of integrity and contributors to their community. Their inner and outer journeys both reflect and inspire our own. 'There's something that the individual carries which is vital, which the corporation does not carry, the nation does not carry, something vital to the knowing of ourselves and to our survival.' - MICHAEL LEUNIG, CARTOONIST 'What fire fighting has taught me is that adrenalin does different things to different people - it can put you on the right tram or the wrong tram, and if you haven't got control of it, you're going to get on the wrong tram.' - BILL JONES, ONE OF THREE FIREFIGHTERS 'Most of the time I'm an easy-going bloke. I like a bit of fun if you really come to know me... But if I can't get out of an argument, if you can't run any further, well, you have to take a stand.' - KAJAI FRANK SEBASTIAN, KIMBERLEY LAND COUNCIL.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Searching for Heroes in Life takes the recollections of its author, Charles Brookins Taylor Sr., who narrates his lifelong search for heroes, and turns these accounts into an inspiring witness that encourages others to search for the heroes who populate their own lives. Through this combination of reminiscence and guidance, Searching for Heroes in Life shows how one may look at the ordinary people who cross one's path and see in them the special qualities that make them heroic. Searching for Heroes in Life draws upon Abraham Maslow's famous Hierarchy of Needs--physiological, security, social, esteem, and self-actualization--as a tool for understanding humanity's deep need for heroes. In particular, he shows how the need for self-actualization includes a need for spiritual self-actualization, which is where real-life heroes may make their special contributions to one's well-being. Then the search for heroes, illustrated with accounts from the author's life, culminates in an exploration of the person and work of Jesus Christ, who is both Hero and Savior of all who believe. In a world that so often seems to grow grey and dim under the weight of trouble and discord, you may find yourself wondering what has become of the good and noble people worthy of respect and admiration. Searching for Heroes in Life will help you to see clearly that heroes who can guide and inspire are living all around you and that Jesus Christ desires to come into your life as the ultimate Hero and Savior.

During this era, Casey Stengel began his legendary career as Yankee manager (1949). Joe DiMaggio ended & Mickey Mantle began their major league careers (1951), & the New York Yankees established an unprecedented, still unsurpassed record of five consecutive World Series victories (1949-1953). In this wonderfully evocative book, capturing the color, flavor, & feel of a simpler time, Joe Carrieri offers a unique look at the era's greatest players. Only thirteen when he started with the Yankees, Mr. Carrieri was a sophomore in college when he turned in his pinstripes. His years with the Yankees were also the formative years of his life - the time when a boy becomes a man. From the baseball heroes of his youth, Carrieri began a quest to define the meaning of greatness & the measure of personal success as he saw it reflected in the lives, exploits, & words of the games's best players, coaches, & managers. In SEARCHING FOR HEROES, Joe Carrieri incorporates the lessons of his youth into a philosophy that lasts a lifetime & rediscovers something essential about the American pastime...that in our baseball heroes we find the best of ourselves & gather a glimpse of what we might be.

Book excerpt: As Brecht’s Galileo observed, a country which needs heroes is unfortunate indeed – words which suggest that a society’s need for heroes is always a function of its shortcomings. By examining the role that heroes and heroism have played in German literature and culture over the past two centuries, the essays in this volume illuminate and contour both a flawed German society in need of heroes and the flawed but essential heroes brought forth by that society. Beginning in he era of the anti-Napoleontic Wars of Liberation, advancing to the challenging situation Germany faced at the end of World War II, and concluding with the current reemergence of a unified Germany after almost half a century of division, this volume broadens our understanding of the inadequacies and breakdowns of German society. In addition to analyses of heroism in German culture during the last two centuries, this volume contains the first major essays in English on cultural representations of disability in German culture and on AIDS in German literature, as well as two essays on the scholarly accomplishments of Jost Hermand, to whom all of the essays in the volume are dedicated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most criticism of The Lord of the Rings trilogy emphasizes the most likely heroes in the tales: Aragorn, Frodo, Gandalf, and even Sam. From popular to scholarly literature, the women and smaller characters often go overlooked. But our notions of what makes a hero have altered since September 11, and sometimes the most unlikely people can come to embody all that we look up to and admire in a person. Here, Lynnette Porter examines what we mean when we talk about heroes, and for the first time illustrates the heroic qualities that can be found in the women and other beloved, though less-celebrated, characters in the The Lord of the Rings books and movies. She takes a critical look at the importance of literary and cinematic heroes in general, emphasizing the roles of Merry, Pippin, Galadriel, Eowyn, Arwen, Legolas, and Gimli, who can all be considered heroes despite their relatively smaller roles. She shows, ultimately, that our attraction to and celebration of heroes does not have to be limited to the leading man, but rather that women and youth often display essential characteristics of true heroes. Bringing together a discussion of both the books and the movies, Porter reveals for readers the heroic nature of several characters in The Lord of the Rings who have been ignored in terms of their status as heroes. Nevertheless, these female and youthful characters have received incredible popular acclaim and illustrate the shift in the way the Western movie-going public identifies and glorifies heroes. While other stars may have outshone the likes of Merry and Pippin, Arwen and Galadriel, Porter redirects the spotlight on these favorites of the books and movies to show us how the roles they play, the actions they take, and the behaviors they display are worthy of our praise and admiration. This unique and refreshing perspective adds dimension to our understanding of The Lord of the Rings phenomenon.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Making National Heroes is an ethnography of the making of national heroes in the commemoration of the Second World War in contemporary China. Foregrounding the lived experience of men and women who participate in commemorative activities, it theorises how masculinity and nationalism entangle in recollecting war memories. Taking the feminist line of inquiry, this anthropological study develops an approach to capture the centrality of making exemplars in the realisation of hegemonic masculinities. It adds a gender perspective to studies on exemplarist moral theory and theorises exemplary men’s cross-cultural significance in defining masculinities. Researchers in the fields of critical masculinity studies, anthropology, feminist methodology, China studies, and memory studies will be interested in this book. “I highly recommend this book about the grassroots redress movement that seeks to make national heroes of the largely forgotten KMT soldiers from pre-1949 times. By way of exploring this intriguing topic, Jacqueline Zhenru Lin gives a fascinating account of how nationalism and gender interact to produce exemplary masculinities in present-day China.”—Kam Louie, University of Hong Kong “Firmly grounded in anthropology, but with historical and digital analyses woven throughout, the author eloquently opens new avenues for reflection in Chinese masculinities research. This important contribution draws new attention to links between masculinity, nation, and memory in a media-saturated world.”—Jamie Coates, University of Sheffield
