Notă biografică

Harold I. Gullan, Ph.D., a distinguished historian whose previous books include The Upset That Wasn't, Faith of Our Mothers, and First Fathers, now turns his attention with Jumping Through Hoops to the significance of Penn basketball in the context of the current state of American college athletics. Gullan lives with his wife, Elizabeth, in Philadelphia.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

As Paul Rubincam points out in the Foreword to Jumping Through Hoops, the book is about a lot more than Penn basketball. In a compact but compelling way, Dr. Harold Gullan intertwines the unique history of the University of Pennsylvania with that of Philadelphia itself-- and the overall state of intercollegiate athletics today. This series of related essays represents a natural transition for Gullan, a historian whose much-acclaimed prior works focused on the American presidency. Jumping Through Hoops, the author's reflections on a typical season of Penn Basketball (which turned out to be anything but typical), is really far less about why Penn wins than why Penn matters. The book is enhanced by the contributions of Steve Danley, a perceptive Penn student who happens to play basketball, and Mike Mahoney, Penn's director of athletic communications -- as well as some great photographs. Like Gullan himself, Jumping Through Hoops is always thought-provoking and often funny. As the men's basketball team at Penn moves ahead to a new season under new leadership, it is still a pivotal component of the Ivy League and the Big 5. Beyond that, however, this book should be of interest to a wide spectrum of readers, whether they are basketball fans or not, and wherever they may have gone to school.
