Part travel journal, and part contemporary history text, this is the log of the author's experiences in a dozen countries around the world. What separates this book from other travel books is the degree to which Ferguson, a former university president, director of Radio Free Europe, director of Peace Corps and US ambassador, is involved in the even

Tilting at Religion (Hardcover): Glenn W. Ferguson Tilting at Religion (Hardcover)
Glenn W. Ferguson
R666 Discovery Miles 6 660 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Former ambassador to Kenya and president of Lincoln Center Glenn W Ferguson has kept a journal for 21 years in which he has recorded his thoughts on a wide variety of subjects. One issue that has sustained his interest throughout the decades is the conflicting views of unbelievers and religious believers, and the paradoxical attitudes that result from the clash of increasingly secular, international trends with traditional belief systems. This book is a compilation of brief essays culled from this journal, all on the subject of religion. Since religion is a pervasive aspect of society, Ferguson argues, it must be subject to critical scrutiny just like any other generalising theory or philosophy that is offered for public consumption. "Tilting at Religion" is designed to encourage the open-minded reader to raise probing questions about religion in the interest of enlightenment.

Are American sports in jeopardy? Maybe so, unless greed can be controlled, the author of this unique book about sports in the United States concludes. In drawing this conclusion, Glenn Ferguson has explored media impact, education, relevant history, rules, discrimination, and even team nicknames before proceeding in depth with the specific fascination and blemishes of the major sports--baseball, football, basketball and track--with emphasis on college and professional levels. For the minor sports, tennis, ice hockey, swimming, golf and soccer are examined. Coverage of modern summer and winter Olympics stresses lifestyle, monetary awards, television, and foreign perceptions of the United States. Not wanting to overlook anything, the author devotes a final chapter to the avocations of hunting and lawn care. GLENN FERGUSON served as President of four universities (Long Island, Clark, Connecticut, and the American University of Paris); Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty in Munich; Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, and President and founder of Equity for Africa. He was an Associate Director of the Peace Corps in Washington, and the first Director in Thailand. He was also the first Director of Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA); American Ambassador to Kenya (Arthur Flemming Award); and a management consultant with McKinsey & Company. As an Air Force Psychological Warfare Officer, he served in Korea and the Philippines. Since his retirement, Ambassador Ferguson, and his wife Patti, have resided in Santa Fe, New Mexico where he has written five books relating to travel, religion, essays, aphorism and sports. He received two degrees from Cornell University and a law degree from the University of Pittsburgh.
