Fire in the Open Mind --$tNotes --$tIndex 330 $aEloquent, urgent, and inspiring, The Constant Fire tackles the acrimonious debate between science and religion, taking us beyond its stagnant parameters into the wider domain of human spiritual experience. From a Neolithic archaeological site in Ireland to modern theories of star formation, Adam Frank traverses a wide terrain, broadening our sights and allowing us to imagine an alternative perspective. Drawing from his experience as a practicing astrophysicist and from the writings of the great scholars of religion, philosophy, and mythology, Frank locates the connective tissue linking science and religion-their commonality as sacred pursuits-and finds their shared aspiration in pursuit of "the True and the Real." Taking us from the burning of Giordano Bruno in 1600 to Einstein and on to today's pressing issues of global warming and resource depletion, The Constant Fire shows us how to move beyond this stale debate into a more profound experience of the world as sacred-a world that embraces science without renouncing human spirituality. 606 $aReligion and science$xHistory 606 $aBible and science$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aReligion and science$xHistory. 615 0$aBible and science$xHistory. 676 $a201/.65 700 $aFrank$b Adam$f1962-$01051506 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464268903321 996 $aThe constant fire$92482045 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01411nam 2200385z- 450 001 996320809103316 005 20160818152913.0 010 $a0-521-70597-5 010 $a0-521-88010-6 035 $a(CKB)9870000000000477 035 $a(EXLCZ)999870000000000477 100 $a20130729c2007uuuu -u- - 101 0 $aeng 200 00$aClimate change 2007 $eimpacts, adaptation and vulnerability : contribution of Working Group II to the fourth assessment report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change /$fedited Martin Parry ...

Baseball fans understand the game has become increasingly international. Major league rosters include players from no fewer than fourteen countries, and more than one-fourth of all players are foreign born. Here, Alan Klein offers the first full-length study of a sport in the process of globalizing. Looking at the international activities of big-market and small-market baseball teams, as well as the Commissioner's Office, he examines the ways in which Major League Baseball operates on a world stage that reaches from the Dominican Republic to South Africa to Japan. The origins of baseball's efforts to globalize are complex, stemming as much from decreasing opportunities at home as from promise abroad. Klein chronicles attempts to develop the game outside the United States, the strategies that teams such as the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Kansas City Royals have devised to recruit international talent, and the ways baseball has been growing in other countries. He concludes with an assessment of the obstacles that may inhibit or promote baseball's progress toward globalization, offering thoughtful proposals to ensure the health and growth of the game in the United States and abroad. "A superb inside look at how the national pastime has reinvented itself... Klein's writing is engaging, and his research is top-notch." -Tim Wendel, author of The New Face of Baseball: The One-Hundred-Year Rise and Triumph of Latinos in America's Favorite Sport "A timely contribution to our understanding of baseball in our contemporary age." -Michael L.
