Worldwide Experiences and Trends in Sport for All
This collective volume contributes to a growing debate concerning the extent to which we are now living in a global society shaped by sport in addition to economy, technology and so on. It covers 36 countries from five continents, analyzed by 87 contributors, so it offers a large comparative study. It is also a data bank of national information resources for students, researchers, policy-makers, sports leaders and managers. By means of a standard framework used in all chapters, the collected data from national cases on history, management and culture of sport provide interpretations of marketing, sponsorship, finance, target groups, settings for activities, strategy of promotion and social changes as related to Sport for All. This cross-national approach seeks to offer adequate meaning to the practices of each country, stimulating further research on specific themes of physical activities for health and leisure, either in affluent or poor social conditions. The concluding chapter lays the groundwork of Sport for All.
The Country of Football
"In time for Brazil's hosting of the 2014 World Cup, this book uses the stories of star players and other key figures (based on over 40 interviews) to create a contemporary history of Brazilian soccer from the 1950s to the present. It also explores race and class tensions in Brazil and shows how soccer is central to the country's dramatic trajectory toward modernity and economic power"--

ALÉM DAS PRÓPRIAS FORÇAS
Temos em nossas mãos um estudo de índole cultural definido por conteúdos factuais e interpretativos de seus significados a partir de fontes meticulosamente selecionadas. Os caminhos de significados históricos foram adotados pela intensa revisão assumida, mas sobretudo como ponto de partida para análises e sínteses multidisciplinares dos contextos dos acontecimentos. A complementação seguiu-se na contextualização iluminando dados factuais em uma primeira abordagem e depois por interpretações reveladoras de significados. Este livro renovador não focaliza apenas interpretações culturais das Atividades Físicas no Brasil, pois seus capítulos se estendem na compreensão de significados intrínsecos dessas atividades. Em última síntese, este livro abre caminhos para reinterpretações das Atividades Físicas e para suas futuras recriações em proveito das experiências ocorridas no Brasil, período 1930 – 1980, ora tão bem reconhecidas e analisadas.
A Street-Smart Song
A Street-Smart Song delves into the boundless philosophical depths of capoeira, the fascinating synthesis of Brazilian dance and self-defense. Drawing from a wide range of sources—the streets of Salvador and Rio de Janeiro, the teachings of the old masters Pastinha, Bimba, and Leopoldina, and the brutal economic realities inflicted on the poorest of Brazil—Nestor Capoeira paints an indelible portrait of this living art, its spiritual heritage, and its vital place in a world hypnotized by media and crushed by poverty. The traditional poems and songs of capoeira are here, along with the author’s lively discussions of everything from the space age and television’s impact on third world culture to Candomble and capoeira’s life-changing lessons. Rounding out this absorbing cultural survey are historical photos, sketches of weapons and instruments, and fully illustrated fighting movements, taught step by step.

The Little Capoeira Book, Revised Edition
Nestor Capoeira, a long-time teacher of capoeira and noted mestre (master), begins this revised edition of his bestseller with an in-depth history of the Brazilian art, giving the most popular theories for the origins and purposes of this movement that combines the grace of dance with lethal self-defense techniques in a unique game-song structure. He discusses some of the most famous capoeristas and their influence on the art. In addition, he describes how the two major branches of capoeira (Angola and Regional) came about and the differences between them. The Little Capoeira Book’s clear descriptions of the game, or jogo, explain the actual application of capoeira, vaguely similar to spar...
