"2006 North American Society for Sports History Book of the Year The literature on sport history is now well established, taking in a wide range of themes and covering every activity from aerobics to zorbing.

In this book, Booth offers a rigorous assessment of s ..."

As the body moves—as it performs, sweats, runs, and jumps—it sets in motion an intricate web of scientific rationalities, spatial arrangements, corporate imperatives, and identity politics (i.e. politics of gender, race, social clas ..."

"One-Eyed" covers all States and all major sports; it gives women's sports long-overdue acknowledgment; it charts the growth of community sports and features lively accounts of individual achievements.

Paperback, 246 Pages, Published 2018 by Covenant Media Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-692-16834-9, ISBN: 0-692-16834-6

"If God is just and the Bible is his word, how is it that everyone is in such a fog when it comes to actually administrating justice? As a culture, we cry for mercy when we're hurt, and lustily pound the gavel when tables turn. Civil tyrants regularly trot out the thumbscrews and red-hot pokers, but just as many petty gunslingers take pleasure in targeting whoever "the big guy" happens to be. Is that justice?"

ISBN-13: 978-1-5058-5773-3, ISBN: 1-5058-5773-2

"When asked, most people could say something about their personal philosophy—those beliefs and values that guide them on their path through life. In their theorizing and empirical work, economists normally assume that we humans make choices in the world for the purpose of maximizing our well-being. The philosophies behind our choices rarely get much traction in economic research beyond the idea of maximization itself. This I believe to ..."

Philosophers usually stick to conceptual ideas without much attention to the messy details of worldly reality, ideas that are wonderful in themselves, but in need of confrontation with the actualities of natural and human history. In ..."

ISBN-13: 978-1-4538-0593-0, ISBN: 1-4538-0593-1

"Economists like to say that there is no such thing as a "free lunch" whenever we move our social arrangements in a new direction. According to this kind of thinking, a price will inevitably be paid for addressing big, society-wide problems such as global warming. This book takes a contrary view--resolving the problem of global warming and moving to a more spatially compact form of human settlement will generate a durable and widesprea ..."
