Sport and the Emancipation of European Women

It expands understanding of the need for their attitudes and actions and celebrates their achievements in freeing the female body from unwarranted political, cultural and social restraint in the courageous pursuit of the Enlightenment 's ' secular value system: ‘the unity of mankind and basic personal freedoms and {a} world of tolerance, knowledge, education and opportunity' (from Roy Porter, Enlightenment: Britain and the Creation of the Modern World, 2004). The Collection records the pulling down of European barriers via sport...

Los Angeles 1984
150 millions de dollars, voilà le bénéfice net des premiers Jeux Olympiques organisés non par un État ou une municipalité, mais par un entrepreneur privé. Ce sont les coulisses de cet exploit, que nous fait visiter Alomée Planel. Los Angeles 84 a été, en effet, une fantastique aventure-spectacle avec, au générique, les plus grandes vedettes du sport international. Vivant pour nous, durant seize jours, "le quotidien derrière les gradins, une journaliste à l'œil vif nous mène des campus d'universités aux salons feutrés des palaces pour milliardaires, des déserts de westerns californiens aux pelouses de Beverly Hills et aux stades qui vibrent aux accents des hymnes nationaux. Est-ce son sens de la télévision (elle a été grand-reporter sur la première chaîne) ? Alomée Planel a mené ce livre tambour battant, sous la forme de courtes séquences en mouvements et en images : des spots colorés et cocasses, dans la tradition naissante des vidéoclips. Un livre reportage, mais aussi un regard lucide sur l'Amérique d'aujourd'hui.

Sports around the World [4 volumes]
This multivolume set is much more than a collection of essays on sports and sporting cultures from around the world: it also details how and why sports are played wherever they exist, and examines key charismatic athletes from around the world who have transcended their sports. Sports Around the World: History, Culture, and Practice provides a unique, global overview of sports and sports cultures. Unlike most works of this type, this book provides both essays that examine general topics, such as globalization and sport, international relations and sport, and tourism and sport, as well as essays on sports history, culture, and practice in world regions—for example, Latin America and the Car...

XXII Olympiad
The Olympics are meant to be a celebration of sportsmanship and fellowship among nations, but they have sometimes fell short of that goal. XXII Olympiad, the twentieth volume in The Olympic Century series, begins with the story of one of the most politicized Games ever held: Moscow 1980.In December 1979, the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan, prompting the United States to lead a 65-nation boycott of the Moscow Games. In spite of the absence of many of the world's great athletes, Moscow still produced legendary Olympic champions, like the great Cuban heavyweight Teofilo Stevenson, who became the first boxer to win three consecutive gold medals; and the Romanian gymnast Nadia Comaneci, who add...
