The Power of Hormones
Decode the subtle signals of hormones with this foundational book from expert endocrinologist and leading researcher in the field. Hormones rule our lives.

Women and the Olympic Dream
On an April morning in 1896, unemployed single mother Stamata Revithi ran the 40 kilometers from Marathon to Athens, finishing in 5 hours 30 minutes. Barred from the first Olympic marathon, she was determined to prove herself. Through more than a century of Olympic Games history, women athletes--who were held back from swimming because long skirts were required, limited to running single-lap races because of fallacies about fragility, or forced to endure invasive gender exams--competed in spite of endless challenges. From Athens 1896 to Tokyo 2020, this history of women's participation in the Olympic Games centers on athletes who overcame entrenched inequity to gain inclusion.
The Other Olympians
In December 1935, Zdenek Koubek, one of the most famous sprinters in European women’s sports, declared he was now living as a man. Around the same time, the celebrated British field athlete Mark Weston, also assigned female at birth, announced that he, too, was a man. Periodicals and radio programs across the world carried the news; both became global celebrities. A few decades later, they were all but forgotten. And in the wake of their transitions, what could have been a push toward equality became instead, through a confluence of bureaucracy, war, and sheer happenstance, the exact opposite: the now all-too-familiar panic around trans, intersex, and gender nonconforming athletes.

Andere tijden sport
NOS en VPRO schrijven op televisie al enige jaren sporthistorie met de prachtige serie Andere Tijden Sport. De serie wordt hogelijk gewaardeerd door liefhebbers van sportgeschiedenis en (top)sporters, en zeer goed bekeken. In dit ruim geïllustreerde boek zijn dertien van de mooiste documentaires die de afgelopen vijf jaar te zien waren, omgewerkt tot verhalen. In een afwisseling van researchjournalistiek, sfeerverhaal en ooggetuigenverslag bevat deze uitgave verhalen over Ruud Gullit en de megadeal die zijn vertrek naar AC Milan bezegelde, de treurige levensloop van de beeldschone waterskiester Willy Stähle, het debacle van de Tourstart in Leiden, het WK van 1998 & de brief van Guus Hiddin...
Sport en seks
Over het effect van seks op sport en vice versa Op het kruispunt van cultuurgeschiedenis, psychologie, sociologie, geneeskunde, poëzie en sportjournalistiek onderzoekt seksuoloog en uroloog Mels van Driel in dit boek het verband tussen seks en sport. De meeste aandacht wordt besteed aan schaatsen, voetbal, wielrennen, kracht- en vechtsporten, schaken, autoracen en atletiek, maar ook volleybal en rugby komen aan bod. Van Driel vond bijzondere anekdotes en prachtige gedichten maar ook platte verhalen, nare kwalen, afwijkende seksuele gedragingen en tekenen van gekte. Zijn toon is lichtvoetig en ironisch, maar vooral laconiek: de beste manier om gekkigheid en uitwassen tegemoet te treden.
