Just as Michael Lewis’s Moneyball captured baseball at a technological turning point, Brett Cyrgalis’s Golf’s Holy War takes us inside golf’s clash between its beloved artistic tradition and its analytic future. The world of golf is at a crossroads. As tech­nological innovations displace traditional philosophies, the golfing community has splintered into two deeply combative factions: the old-school teachers and players who believe in feel, artistry, and imagination, and the technical minded who want to remake the game around data. In Golf’s Holy War, Brett Cyrgalis takes readers inside the heated battle playing out from weekend hackers to PGA Tour pros. At the Titleist Performance Institute in Oceanside, California, golfers clad in full-body sensors target weaknesses in their biomechanics, while others take part in mental exercises designed to test their brain’s psychological resilience. Meanwhile, coaches like Michael Hebron purge golfers of all technical infor­mation, tapping into the power of intuitive physical learning by playing rudimentary games. From historic St. Andrews to manicured Augusta, experimental com­munes in California to corporatized conferences in Orlando, William James to Ben Hogan to theoretical physics, the factions of the spiritual and technical push to redefine the boundaries of the game. And yet what does it say that Tiger Woods has orchestrated one of the greatest comebacks in sports history without the aid of a formal coach? But Golf’s Holy War is more than just a book about golf—it’s a story about modern life and how we are torn between resisting and embracing the changes brought about by the advancements of science and technology. It’s also an exploration of historical legacies, the enriching bonds of education, and the many interpretations of reality.

Title: The God Delusion Pdf
Author: Richard Dawkins
Published Date: 2006
Page: 463

A preeminent scientist -- and the world's most prominent atheist -- asserts the irrationality of belief in God and the grievous harm religion has inflicted on society, from the Crusades to 9/11.

With rigor and wit, Dawkins examines God in all his forms, from the sex-obsessed tyrant of the Old Testament to the more benign (but still illogical) Celestial Watchmaker favored by some Enlightenment thinkers. He eviscerates the major arguments for religion and demonstrates the supreme improbability of a supreme being. He shows how religion fuels war, foments bigotry, and abuses children, buttressing his points with historical and contemporary evidence. The God Delusion makes a compelling case that belief in God is not just wrong but potentially deadly. It also offers exhilarating insight into the advantages of atheism to the individual and society, not the least of which is a clearer, truer appreciation of the universe's wonders than any faith could ever muster.

Enjoyed this one This was an interesting book. I've read Hitchens, Barker, Harris and Ebling's for the humor. I don't understand how people can still fall for supernatural nonsense. In the age of scientific information, ingnorance is a choice. I'd rather read scores of books and come away with a handful of solid reasonable answers to life's questions than read the bible and think I know it all. I don't think we'll ever have all the "answers" but with input books like this one provides, we get enough. I don't need to know everything. I don't need a purpose. I don't need to know why I'm here. I just am. The whole punishment / reward afterlife thing is ridiculous, it wreeks of being a product of man's imagination, and who really wants to spend eternity with the god character depicted in the bible anyway? Someone said in a review for another book that people don't read widely or think deeply so religion and blind faith will be the track that most people will stay on. Unfortunate, but probably true. Well put at any rate. I always thought religion is the product of lazy minds. Anyway, I recommend this book to anyone " on the fence " concerning religion. If books like this don't, at the very least, shake your faith, then do us all a favor and check into the closest mental facility. Good day.Gets you thinking This book came at an important time in my life when I was seriously wondering what it was I believed in. I grew up in a Christian household and was never super active in my church but also never questioned what it was I was raised to believe; until, that is, I read this book. Personally I think that Richard Dawkins has a bit of a chip on his shoulder, but you can't deny his intelligence and the work he has put into this book. I would highly recommend this bookA classic best read by agnostics or atheists or someone with an open mind. This is a heavy book and is best for agnostics or atheists. You should be open-minded to read this book. Author is very particular about his opinions and point of view. Can be enjoyable, but it takes time to go through this book.
