From the mid-1950s to the early 1960s, when basketball’s Boston Celtics were piecing together a run for the ages, when Montreal’s Canadiens were in the midst of notching a record-setting five straight Stanley Cups, and when the New York Yankees were the once-and-future kings of the diamond, one team boosted the NFL to national prominence as none other: the New York Giants. In Giants Among Men, Jack Cavanaugh, the acclaimed author of Tunney, transports us to the NFL’s golden age to introduce the close-knit and diverse group that won the heart of a city, helped spread the gospel of pro foo

Sigmund Freud (or "my golden Siggy" as Mama Freud called him) wanted to be "great," "famous"—someone whose statue would stand prominently in parks. And famous he certainly became. But does he qualify as a "Giant of Science"? Kathleen Krull proves Freud deserves a place in her much-lauded series, for essentially creating a brand-new branch of medicine— psychoanalysis—and a whole new vocabulary to go with it. Before Freud, nobody discussed "unconscious" motives, Oedipal complexes, the id and the ego, or Freudian slips. Krull explains Freud and his still-controversial ideas within t

Over time, peer pressure in academia has practically succeeded in banishing real giants from the pages of history. While they find the mythical giants absolutely fascinating, professors and other scholars have ridiculed to death any belief that a race of huge people once terrified the other inhabitants of Earth. By detailing the principal role they played in humankind’s history, however, this volume establishes their existence beyond any doubt. DeLoach has gathered scattered accounts and, for the first time, presents them together in one source.
