An Orphan’s Legacy
Three-year-old Hans Peter Christensen, later to become known as Peter Christian Christensen, began his arduous trip with his parents across the ocean from Denmark to America in 1853. His parents never finished the journey, his mother dying on board the ship outside of New Orleans and his father dying just as they reached Saint Louis. He crossed the plains as a young orphan to settle in Sanpete County, Utah. His descendants are mostly scattered throughout the western states, and this book relates their life stories.
Names on the Land
The principal reason for my doing this project was simply because I wanted to do it! Ive long been interested in toponomy - the science of placenames - and until now, with the priviledge of retirement, was afforded the time to do it. It was mentally laborious, time consuming, ( a guesstimated 10,000 hours over a 6-year period), highly educational and greatly rewarding.

The Politics of Football
This book examines the deep connections between football and politics, and explains what those relationships can tell us about sport and wider society. With the game occupying a preeminent place on the world sporting stage, this book argues that the political significance of football has never been greater. The book explores the politics of football governance and the international organisations that run the game, as well as the interaction of footballing authorities with government at all levels. It shows how football clubs and supporter groups have leaned left - such as FC Sankt Pauli - or right – such as SS Lazio – and have been significant voices in secessionist debates and the promotion of religious identities and ethno-centrism, and how football has been used by fascist and communist regimes to project political ideology. The book also considers key contemporary political issues in football, such as surveillance, discrimination, and human rights. This is fascinating reading for anybody with an interest in football, in the politics or sociology of sport, in international relations, government or political ideology, or in the intersection of politics and culture.
