The Brooklyn Dodgers in the 1940s

How Robinson, MacPhail, Reiser and Rickey Changed Baseball

Before the rise of the Brooklyn Dodgers in the 1940s, baseball was a game of white men, cloth caps and concrete walls. Four men helped to change the sport as America knew it: Branch Rickey, Larry MacPhail, Jackie Robinson and Pete Reiser. These men were essential to the evolution of baseball, especially in their home of Brooklyn's Ebbets Field. It was there that the first major league game was televised, where the batting helmet was developed, where the first walls were padded and the first outfield warning tracks laid down and--with the arrival of Jackie Robinson, it is where the color line was broken. This richly researched history which includes chapters such as "1940: MacPhail Starts a Dodger Dynasty," "1942: FDR Says the Show Must Go On" and "The War Years," presents an exploration of how a crucial decade of Dodger accomplishments transformed American baseball.

«Questo libro è un atto di resistenza. Di fronte alle offese e alle umiliazioni che subiscono oggi le donne in Italia, in quanto filosofa, ho sentito il dovere di abbandonare la torre d'avorio in cui si trincerano spesso gli intellettuali per spiegare le dinamiche di oppressione che imprigionano la donna italiana».

Eloge de la confiance

Sans confiance entre les individus, c'est toute notre société qui s'écroule. Apparaissent la peur, la déraison, la faillite, la guerre, la paranoïa. Et pourtant, la judiciarisation des rapports contractuels, le désir de contrôle, le refus d'offrir à l'autre une part de vulnérabilité humaine, sans laquelle la confiance n'existe pas, engendrent une société de défiance. Cet essai magistral offre une double perspective, historique et philosophique : de la banqueroute de Law (1720) à la crise du prêt interbancaire (2007-2008), de l'égoïsme libéral au doute systématique des théories du complot, du don de soi dans l'amour à la multiplication des conflits juridiques dans la sphère privée, Michela Marzano met en évidence les fragilités de nos engagements et plaide pour une confiance restaurée.
