Baseball, Abuse, & War!

Here are three most interesting books!


License to Deal - Jerry Crasnick

During Major League Baseball's evolution from national pastime to $3.6 billion business, agents have played a pivotal role in driving and (some might say) ruining the sport. In License to Deal, ESPN's Jerry Crasnick pierces the myths by focusing on Matt Sosnick, a born dealmaker who left his job as CEO of a San Francisco high-tech company in 1997 to pursue his dream of representing ballplayers for a living. Listen to Crasnick's Written Voices interview on the inside world of sports agents.

Live chat - Marci Hamilton

Child abuse by clergymen, gay marriage and even faith healing pit the word of God against the word of the court. God vs. the Gavel: Religion and the Rule of Law challenges the pervasive assumption that all religious conduct deserves constitutional protection. Join author and constitutional law expert, Marci Hamilton for a live chat on Court TV.com June 22nd at 3pm EST to discuss religion and the law in the US.

Website Feature - Conduct Under Fire

In Conduct Under Fire, John A. Glusman chronicles The fierce, bloody battles of Bataan and Corregidor through the eyes of his father, Murray, and three fellow navy doctors captured on Corregidor in May 1942.
