By 1964 the storied St. Louis Cardinals had gone seventeen years without so much as a pennant. Things began to turn around in 1953, when August A. Busch Jr. bought the team and famously asked where all the black players were. Under the leadership of men like Bing Devine and Johnny Keane, the Cardinals began signing talented players regardless of color, and slowly their star started to rise again.

The Code of Man Love Courage Pride Family Country


Free Download Waller R. Newell, "The Code of Man: Love Courage Pride Family Country"
English | 2004 | pages: 302 | ISBN: 0060087528, 006008751X | PDF | 0,8 mb
"In many ways," Waller R. Newell writes, "young men today are in deep spiritual trouble. But they are also yearning for a way back to the noblest ideals of American manhood." The Code of Man is a deep and thought-provoking effort to help guide contemporary men back to those ideals, embodied in what Newell calls the five paths to manliness: love, courage, pride, family, and country. He argues that at the dawn of the twenty-first century, our society has grown so concerned about the roles of sex and violence that we have forgotten to seek inspiration from the traditional virtues of the past: romance and eros, courage and patriotism, and the blend of love and bravery that ittakes to raise a family. Contrasting such time-honored lessons from the voices of William Shakespeare, Abraham Lincoln, Jane Austen, and Teddy Roosevelt with the chaotic signals emanating from Western culture today, Newell offers a clarion call to recapture our traditions, preserve our character as a society … and avoid catastrophe.

HMS Hood Pride of the Royal Navy


Free Download Andrew Norman – HMS Hood: Pride of the Royal Navy
Spellmount | 2008 | ISBN: 1862274533 | English | 162 pages | PDF | 93.38 MB
When the battle cruiser HMS Hood was sunk by the Bismark and her consort Prinz Eugen in May 1941, the shock to the Royal Navy, Britain, and the world was immense. The Hood had seemed invincible and the epitome of naval power with her eight 15-inch and eight 4-inch guns. She would prove be anything but, and would become the tomb of 1,418 men. Basing his narrative on primary sources at the Royal Naval Museum and in Germany, plus a unique interview with one of only three survivors of the disaster, Andrew Norman offers his own theory for the ship’s fantastically rapid loss. Doubts were immediately raised over the official verdict. Just how could an inboard fire break a ship this large in two? And why did she sink in just seven minutes? Andrew Norman suggests a new answer.

Sin, Pride & Self-Acceptance The Problem of Identity in Theology Psychology


Free Download Terry D. Cooper, "Sin, Pride & Self-Acceptance: The Problem of Identity in Theology Psychology"
English | 2003 | ISBN: 0830827285 | PDF | pages: 191 | 0.6 mb
What is at the root of the problem of humanity? Is it pride or lack of self-esteem?Do we love ourselves too much or too little?The debate about the human condition has often been framed this way in both theological and psychological circles. Convictions about preaching, teaching, marriage and child rearing, as well as politics, social welfare, business management and the helping professions, more often than not, fall on one side or the other of this divide. With theological and psychological insight Terry D. Cooper provides trenchant analysis of this centuries-long debate and leads us beyond the usual impasse.Humanistic psychology has often regarded traditional Christianity as its archrival in assessing the human condition. Cooper demonstrates how the Christian doctrine of a sinful and fallen humanity sheds light on the human condition which exhibits both pride and self-denigration. Bringing theological insights ranging from Augustine and John Calvin to Reinhold Niebuhr together with the psychological theories of Freud, Jung, Carl Rogers, Gerald May and Karen Horney, Cooper guides readers through the maze of competing claims to a resolution which affirms Christian conviction while critically engaging modern psychological theory. A model of the proper integration of Christian theology and the discipline of psychology, Sin, Pride Self-Acceptance will be of special help to students and practitioners of psychology, pastoral counseling and clinical psychology.
