Paperback. Condizione: Good. In this modern-day parable, executive coach Jeffrey Klubeck weaves our national pastime with ten points of integration that are are both thought-provoking and actionable for success in our personal or professional lives. Through the plentiful metaphors of baseball, The Integrity Game(R) introduces Luke, an uninspired hot dog vendor, and Terry, an unexpected coach, and masterfully integrates Klubeck's key principles for growth in life or business into their story. The Integrity Game(R) is such an enjoyable read that it matters not if you understand anything about baseball.

In a major biography of Blaise Pascal, James Connor explores both the intellectual giant whose theory of probability paved the way for modernity and the devout religious mystic who dared apply probability to faith. A child prodigy, Pascal made essential additions to Descartes's work at age sixteen. By age nineteen, he had invented the world's first mechanical calculator. But despite his immense contributions to modern science and mathematical thinking, it is Pascal's wager with God that set him apart from his peers as a man fully engaged with both religious and scientific pursuits. One night in 1654, Pascal had a visit from God, a mystical experience that changed his life. Struggling to explain God's existence to others, Pascal dared to apply his mathematical work to religious faith, playing dice with divinity: he argued for the existence of God, basing his position not on rigorous logical principles as did Aquinas or Anselm of Canterbury, but on outcomes--his famous wager. By applying to the existence of God the same rules that governed the existence and position of the universe itself, Pascal sounded the death knell for medieval "certainties" and paved the way for modern thinking.…

Hardback. Condizione: Good. 16th century mathematician and astronomer Johannes Kepler was a brilliant scientist who discovered the three basic laws of planetary motion. But he was also a man of his time. Kepler was a Protestant and a supporter of the Copernican system at a time when either position could cost him his job or freedom, and practiced astrology for much of his life. At one point he was forced to quit his job as Imperial Mathematician for the Holy Roman Emperor in order to help defend his mother, who had been accused of witchcraft. Set against the backdrop of his mother's trial, this lively biography of "the Protestant Galileo" reveals the surprisingly spiritual nature of the quest of early modern science. Many records have been translated into English for the first time. Connor's unforgettable story illuminates the life of Kepler, the man of science, but also Kepler, a man of uncommon faith and vision.James A. Connor is a former Jesuit priest who is now professor of English at Kean University in New Jersey. He has also held teaching posts at St. Louis University and Gonzaga University. The author of God's Breath and Other Stories and Silent Fire, Connor holds degrees in geosciences, philosophy, theology and creative writing, and a doctorate in literature and science. He is a prize-winning essayist and has been published many journals, including American Book Review, Traditional Home Magazine, Willow Springs, The Critic, The Iowa Review, and The Iowa Journal of Literary Studies."A fascinating book, analyzing a pivotal time in western intellectual history." -- John Shelby Spong, author of A New Christianity for a New World.…
