Modern Sports Law
The aim of this book is to provide an account of how the law influences the operation, administration and playing of modern sports. Although the book focuses on legal doctrine it has been written bearing in mind sport's historical, cultural, social and economic context, including the drama and colour of sport's major events and leading personalities. And although it is inevitably very much concerned with elite professional sports it is not dominated by them, and seeks to cover the widest possible range of sports, professional and amateur. Initially, the book addresses practical issues such as the structures of national and international sport, and examines the evolution of the body of law kn...

Black Jack Anderson
Black Jack Anderson was a real-life pirate who was, at one time, known as 'the scourge of the Southern Ocean. He was the leader of a motley gang of escaped convicts, ticket-of-leave men and adventurers of all descriptions. For ten years, from 1825 to 1835, he lived on Middle Island, which is six nautical miles off the south coast of Western Australia. He and his fluctuating band of men regularly raided ships as they made their way, tentatively, through the treacherous rocky islands and narrow straights of the Recherche Archipelago.' He had chosen Middle Island as his base because it's only sheltered bay was well hidden from any approach from the sea, however, he obeyed the unwritten rule of the sea that, should anyone be in peril of their life he must give them the basic necessities. However, when Dorothea Newell and her party of survivors virtually washed up on his shore Anderson's life would change forever. This is an exciting story of a real historical figure from the era of sailing ships, uncharted oceans and rugged coastlines unexplored by Europeans. It is suitable for everyone interested in excitement, danger and surviving against the odds.
The Eighteen-Day Running Mate
No skeletons were rattling in his closet, Thomas Eagleton assured George McGovern's political director. But only eighteen days later—after a series of damaging public revelations and feverish behind-the-scenes maneuverings—McGovern rescinded his endorsement of his Democratic vice-presidential running mate, and Eagleton withdrew from the ticket. This fascinating book is the first to uncover the full story behind Eagleton's rise and precipitous fall as a national candidate. Within days of Eagleton's nomination, a pair of anonymous phone calls brought to light his history of hospitalizations for “nervous exhaustion and depression” and past treatment with electroshock therapy. The revela...
The Columnist
Long before Wikileaks and social media, the journalist Drew Pearson exposed to public view information that public officials tried not to reveal. A self-professed "keyhole peeper", Pearson devoted himself to determining what politicians were doing behind closed doors. From 1932 to 1969, his daily "Washington Merry-Go-Round" column and weekly radio and TV commentary broke secrets revealed classified information and passed along rumors based on sources high and low in the federal government. Intelligence agents searched fruitlessly for his sources, yet rarely learned them. Drawing on Pearson's extensive correspondence, diaries, and oral histories, The Columnist reveals the mystery behind Pearson's leaks and the accuracy of his most controversial revelations.

Leading Cases in Sports Law
This book accounts for over 25 of the most influential cases in international sports law, as written by some of the leading authorities in the area. Authors from Europe, the United States, Australia, South Africa, Canada and New Zealand trace the evolution of this emerging discipline of law through an analysis of individual cases, as discussed under a number of key debates and themes in contemporary sports law, including: the “public” nature of legal disputes in sport; player employment mobility litigation; doping and the spirit of sport; TV rights holding proceedings; and enduring themes in sports law such as on-field violence, spectator safety, animal welfare and gender equality. Valuable for sports law academics, arbitrators and practitioners, sports administrators and governing bodies, but also for students (postgraduate and undergraduate) and all those with an interest in international sports law.
