Read Michael D'Antonio's posts on the Penguin BlogFrom the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist comes a revealing biography of "one of the most polarizing figures in baseball history" (The New York Times). If ever there was a figure who changed the game of baseball, it was Walter O'Malley, owner of the Dodgers. O'Malley was one of the most controversial owners in the history of American sports, altering the course of history when he uprooted the Dodgers and transplanted them from Brooklyn to Los Angeles. While many critics attacked him, O'Malley looked to the future, declining to defend his stance. As a result, fans across the nation have never been able to stop arguing about him and his strategy–until now. Michael D'Antonio's Forever Blue is a uniquely intimate portrait of a man who changed America's pastime forever, a fascinating story fundamental to the history of sports, business, and the American West.Michael D'Antonio's newest book, A Full Cup: Sir Thomas Lipton's Extraordinary Life and His Quest for America's Cup, is now available from Riverhead Books.

Marafo Records present the first vinyl issue of Siba E a Fuloresta's Toda Vez Que Eu Dou Um Passo O Mundo Sai Do Lugar, originally released on CD in 2007. Siba was born in the cosmopolitan city of Recife, in a family which keeps close connection to it's rural origin. Since his first contact with Mata do Norte tradition, he started a long learning and collaborating history, practicing the fundamentals of rhythmic poetry through the years to then become one of the greatest masters of the maracatu

One of the most influential and controversial team owners in professional sports history, Walter O’Malley (1903–79) is best remembered—and still reviled by many—for moving the Dodgers from Brooklyn to Los Angeles. Yet much of the O’Malley story leading up to the Dodgers’ move is unknown or created from myth, and there is substantially more to the man. When he entered the public eye, the self-constructed family background and early life he presented was gilded. Later his personal story was distorted by some New York sportswriters, who hated him for moving the Dodgers.    In Mover and Shaker Andy McCue presents for the first time an objective, complete, and nuanced account of O’Malley’s life. He also departs from the overly sentimentalized accounts of O’Malley as either villain or angel and reveals him first and foremost as a rational, hardheaded businessman, who was a major force in baseball for three decades and whose management and marketing practices radically changed the shape of the game.  

A detailed profile of the enigmatic owner of the Dodgers draws on previously unseen sources to chronicle the Tammany Hall origins that enabled him to become wealthy during the depression, his clashes with power broker Robert Moses, and the ways in which the team's relocation and stadium construction shaped Los Angeles.

It was none other than Langston Hughes who called Oliver Wendell Harrington America's greatest black cartoonist. Yet largely because he chose to live as an expatriate far from the American mainstream, he has been almost entirely overlooked by contemporary historians and scholars of African-American culture. Born in 1912 and a graduate of the Yale School of Fine Arts, he was a prolific contributor of humorous and editorial cartoons to the black press in the 1930s and 1940s, but he achieved fame for his creation of a cartoon panel called Dark Laughter, a satire of Harlem society and featuring Bootsie, a character in the tradition of the wise fool. Bootsie became widely known and loved wherever black newspapers appeared. For airing strong antiracist views Harrington was targeted during the McCarthy era, and in 1951 he was self-exiled in Paris. In 1961 he found himself trapped behind the Berlin Wall, but he chose to remain in East Germany. His powerful political cartoons were published in East German magazines and in the American Communist newspaper The Daily World. He became a favorite among students and intellectuals in the Eastern Bloc. In America he was mainly forgotten. Here, selected from the Walter O. Evans Collection of African-American Art, is an omnibus of Harrington's best cartoons from the past four decades. It highlights his exceptional talent, his potent impact with editorial comment and social criticism, and his deserving of acclaim in his native land.

Can a Thoroughbred sire with 64 stakes winners from 381 foals - nearly 17 percent - be considered a failure? Or is such a claim no more than the rumblings of a jealous racing society? So it is with the great Man o' War. Despite reshaping Thoroughbred pedigrees for decades to come, Samuel Riddle and his partner, Walter Jeffords, have long been accused of ruining the breeding efforts of the 20th Century's greatest runner. Now, author and pedigree analyst Rommy Faversham dispels the myths surrounding Riddle, Jeffords, and this legendary horse. He shows the careful design of Man o' War's racing and breeding career and details the pedigrees of the horse's ancestors, mates and progeny. Throughout this analysis, Faversham weaves the tale of an American landscape forever changed by "Big Red" and his thousands of fans. It's a story that proves method - and not just luck - is what makes a great Thoroughbred breeder.

Um capitulo escondido do Brasil. Uma passagem mantida em sigilo.

Esta e a grande revelacao que traz o livro Os judeus que construiram o Brasil fontes ineditas para uma nova visao da historia. Resultado de pesquisas realizadas em todo o mundo e, em especial, no ate entao secreto arquivo do Santo Oficio da Inquisicao, esta obra mostra como os judeus e os cristaos novos foram perseguidos nos seculos XVI, XVII e XVIII.A Inquisicao contra os judeus foi autorizada pelo Papa e comecou em 1478 na Espanha e em 1536 em Portugal.

Award-winning author Luis Sepúlveda's tender novel that has sold more than 1.5 million copies worldwide is now available in an AALB edition of the original Spanish text for the North American market.It's migration time and as a mother gull dives into the water to catch a herring she's caught in an oil slick! Thinking of the egg she is about to lay she manages to extract herself and fly to the nearest port. Exhausted, she lands on a balcony where Zorba the cat is sunning himself. Zorba wants to get help, but the gull knows it's too late and she extracts three promises from him: 1) That he won't eat the egg, 2) that he'll take care of the chick until it hatches, and 3) that he'll teach it to fly. The first two are hard enough, but the third one is surely impossible. Isn't it?

Primeiro livro publicado sob os auspícios da FEB, traduzido pela Redação de Reformador, em 1884. Obra sempre atual, útil aos adeptos da Doutrina Espírita, como também àqueles que desejam conhecer a natureza do Espiritismo e a definição de seus pontos fundamentais. A lógica e o bom senso de Allan Kardec aí se evidenciam, desconcertando os negativistas e clareando as indagações dos que acreditam e aspiram à vida superior. Divide-se em 3 capítulos: O primeiro, sob a forma de diálogos com um crítico, um cético e um padre, traz respostas àqueles que desconhecem os princípios básicos da Doutrina, bem como apropriadas refutações aos seus contraditores. O segundo capítulo expõe partes da ciência prática e experimental, caracterizando-se como um resumo de O livro dos médiuns. No terceiro capítulo, é publicado o resumo de O livro dos espíritos, com a solução, apontada pela Doutrina Espírita, de problemas de ordem psicológica, moral e filosófica. Contém também a Biografia de Allan Kardec, por Henri Sausse.
