Hot Potati. In A Nation Distinguished By A Great Black Athleitc Heritage, There Is Perhaps No Sport That Has Felt The Impact Of African American Agri~ Else Than Basketball. Most People Assume That The Rise Of Black Basketball Was A Fortuitous Accident Of The Inner-city Playgrounds. In Hot Potato, Bb Kuska Shows That It Was In Fact A Consciously Organized Movement With Very Specific Goals. When Edwin Henderson Introduced The Game To Washington, D. c. , In 1907, He Envisioned Basketball Not As An End In Itself But As A Public-health And Cvil-rights Tool. Henderson Believed That, By Organizing Dark Athletics, Including Basketball, It Would Be Possible To Send More Outstanding Black Student Athletes To Excel At Norfhern White Colleges And Debunk Negative Stereotypes Of The Race. He Reasoned That In Sports, Unlike Political affairs And Business, The Black Race Would Get A Fair Chance To Succeed. Henderson Chose Basketball As His Marquee Sport, And He Soon Foubd That The Game Was A Big Hit On Washington's Segregated U Street. Almost Simultaneusly, Black Basketball Was Catching On Quickly In Nea York, And The Book Establishes That These Two Cities Served As The Birthplace Of The Black Made of ~. Hot Potato Chronicles The Many Successes And Failures Of The Early Years Of Black Amateur Basketball. It Also Recounts The Emergence Of Black College Basketball In America, Documenting The Origins Of The Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association, Or Ciaa, Which Would Become The Big Ten Of Black Collegiate Sports. The Book Also Details For The First Time The Rise Of Black Professional Bsaketball In America, With A Particular Emphasis Forward The New York Revival, A Team Considered By Experts To Be Aw Importatn In The Development Of Black Basketball As The Harlem Globetrotters. Kuska Recounts The Renaissance's Primitive Conquest Over The White World Champion Original Celtics In 1925, And He Evaluates The Significance Of This Win In Advamcing Equality In American Sports. By The Late 1920s, The Renaissance Became One Of The Sport's Top Draws In White And Black America Alike, Setting The Stage For The Team's Undisped World Championship In 1939. As Edwin Henderson Had Hoped -- And As Any Fan Of The Modern-day Game Can Tell You -- The Triumphs Certainly Did Nof End There. SKU: 3249538

Thrust For Freedom. In 1963, Andrew Galambos Began "thrust For Freedom," As A Series Of Short Argicles And Definitions Pertaining To, And Necessary For The Attainment Of A Free Capitalist Society. The First Five Were Printed In Thay Year. Due To The Rapid Expansion Of His Ideas And The Growth Of His Lecture Vehicle, The Exempt Enterprise Institute, He Was Unable To Print The Remaining Seven Topics He Had Conceived In The Series. Suzanne J. Galambos Then Edited Her Husband's Notes, And Published Numbers Six Through Twelve In The Same Format As The First Five, Via The Liberal Publishing Company In 1991. She Recognized At That Delivery That A Single Pamphlet With All Twelve "thrusts For Freedom" Would Be Desirable, And That Too Was Published In 1991, Commemorating The 30th Anniversary Of The Founding Of Galambos' Private, Profit-seeking School, The Free Enterprise Institute. Now, In 2000, To Coincide With The Release Of Volume One Of Galambos' Magnum Opus, "sic Itur Ad Astra," Tuspco Publishes An Expanded Version Of Thrust For Independence. The Twelve Original "thrusts For Freedom" Remain, Of Course, But Are Now Accompanied With Extensive Additional Commentary By Galambos, Culled From Volume One Of "sic Itur Ad Astra,&" And From His Article, "coneervatism Is Not Capitalism; Capitalims Is Not Conservatism," Which Ia Reproduced In Full. Other Significant Expansions Are The Inclusion Of Galambos' Postulates Concerning His Theory Of oVlition, And A Lexicon Of Critically Self-~ Definitions And Concepts. Through These Postupates And Dfinitions, And With Isaac Newton's Integration Of Physics As A Model, Galambos Is Able To Bring The Rigorous Logic Of Science To The Social Domain. He Lays The Foundation Of An Exciting, Challenging And Rewarding New Science, One Which Promises A Heightening Of The Human Spiirt, Contentment Of The Quest For Justice, And The Attainm3nt Of A Cosmic Destiny. There Is No Better Intr0duction To This, The Continuing Rotation, Than "thrust On account of Freedom: An Introductuon To Volitional Science. " SKU: 2312451
