Beyond Monotheism
Argues that nature in all of its aspects is its own creative, sustaining, sacred, salvific ground—and is the most appropriate focus today of ardent religious faith. In Beyond Monotheism, Donald A. Crosby carefully and respectfully examines the experiential, rational, moral, religious, philosophical, and scientific reasons alleged by philosophers, theologians, scientists, and others for believing in the existence of a single personal God. He concludes that these reasons, while fascinating and historically important, are neither universally compelling nor, for him, personally convincing. Nor is monotheism an essential feature of all vital religious faith, as the fact of long-lasting, deeply nourishing forms of non-monotheistic faith such as Hinduism, Buddhism, and Daoism convincingly show. Crosby contends, instead, that nature itself in all its grandeur, mystery, and profound workings is inherently sacred and richly deserving of the reverence, faith, and commitment formerly reserved for God—if we have the wit, determination, imagination, and receptivity of heart and mind to search for and find them there. Nature, Crosby argues, is its own basis or ground—and nature, properly understood and revered, is through and through sacred ground and, as such, an appropriate focus of profoundly evocative, hopeful, meaningful, and sustaining religious faith. In the midst of global climate change, widespread species extinctions and endangerments, and fast-approaching earth-wide ecological disaster, Beyond Monotheism calls attention to another religious way of life, one of singular relevance and importance for our time.

Tsundoku
An ode to the quiet joy of collecting more books than we could ever possibly read - and loving them all the same...
Drawing on the evocative Japanese term tsundoku - first coined in the Meiji era to describe the growing stacks of unread books that accumulate around devoted readers - this insightful and warmly humorous book reframes what some might see as clutter or guilt as a deeply meaningful way of living.
From the tactile pleasure of flipping through pages to the quiet ritual of rearranging overflowing shelves, Tsundoku explores the psychology, culture, and poetry behind the irresistible urge to collect and cherish books. It offers meditations on the joy of choosing and buying books, the rebellion against reading lists, creative ways to organise your shelves, foolproof excuses for sneaking in yet another new title, techniques for remembering what you've read, and the guilty - but glorious - pleasure of re-reading.
Above all, this philosophy reminds us that we do not necessarily have to have read all the books we own to love them unconditionally. Feelings of guilt, be gone! Unread books can be even more fascinating because they take us on wonderful journeys, and speak to us regardless, whether we open them or keep them closed. We know that books are a cure for the soul: just touching one, smelling one, or leafing through one makes us feel better immediately.

A futball szabadsága - Csendes forradalom a stadionok árnyékában
"Csak a játékban igazán ember az ember, csak ez felel meg szabad szellemének. A labdarúgó órákig rohan, izzad, anélkül, hogy elfáradna, mert csak játszik. Ha ennek az izommunkának mondjuk a negyedét kellene elvégeznie más téren és más céllal, akkor összerogyna" - írta Kosztolányi Dezső. A játéknak ez a rivaldafényből kieső, emberközeli, személyes világa, szabadsága ihlette Csillag Péternek eredetileg a Nemzeti Sport hasábjain megjelent, labdarúgásról szóló tárcáit is. Ahogy az órákig játszó labdarúgó sem fárad el, a szerző is épp olyan fáradhatatlanul gyűjt össze mindent, ami összefüggésbe hozható szeretett sportágával.
Az olvasó elképzelheti, milyen hangulat uralkodhatott egykor a Budapesti Harisnyagyár, a Kávéházi Alkalmazottak vagy a Szénbányászati Kotró mérkőzésein, elmerenghet rajta, mekkora űrt hagytak maguk után Olcsvaapáti, Cégénydányád vagy Penyige megszűnt futballklubjai, és eldöntheti, szeretne-e még több műfüves pályát és videóbírót látni. Szó esik lelkes amatörizmusról és lelketlen profizmusról, futball és politika, futball és természet, futball és alkohol viszonyáról, de nem maradhat ki futball és szépirodalom, futball és újságírás, sőt futball és nyelvújítás kapcsolata sem.
A könyv olvasása mindenkinek ajánlott, de a labdarúgást kedvelőknek egyenesen kötelező.
We Sacrifice Everything to Baseball
Despite long odds and low funds, the Czech Republic's national baseball team of amateur players managed to shock the world at the 2023 World Baseball Classic – the sport's World Cup – when they took an upset win against Spain in the WBC qualifiers and then defeated China in the actual tournament, securing their place in the upcoming 2026 tournament. While the rest of the teams in the WBC rely on experienced professionals, and some like Italy and Great Britain bring in American "passport" players, the Czech Republic's roster consists almost entirely of amateur players who were born and have played only within the Central European nation. The team's roster consists of firefighters, teachers, financial auditors, and field caretakers—even the manager is a neurologist!—and yet the team managed to not only compete on the international stage but succeed against global superstars like Shohei Ohtani. In a world where athletes have become multi-million-dollar legends, We Sacrifice Everything to Baseball reveals how teamwork, sacrifice, and self-belief can still make a difference. Michael Clair, who spent time with the Czech team throughout the 2023 World Baseball Classic, has unparalleled insight on the team and their unlikely success. Like the Jamaican bobsled team in Cool Runnings, Leicester City's unexpected Premier League soccer title, and the United States' remarkable victory against Russia in the 1980 Olympics, the Czech Republic baseball team has an underdog story everyone can cheer for. Their story proves it's still possible to build a team from the ground up, with a small player pool, little attention, and a low budget, and compete on the world stage.
