Sport is often at the centre of battles for rights to inclusion linked to class, race and gender, and this book explores struggles centred on disability in different cultural settings in Europe, North America, Africa, Asia and Oceania.

Novela inédita de una gran autora de la literatura romántica escrita en España. Irlanda, 1893. Después de toda una vida lejos de sus antepasados, Benjamin Young regresa a la patria de sus antepasados para dar caza a la mujer por la cual, cinco años atrás, estuvo a punto de ser ejecutado por un crimen que no cometió. Natalie Lefèvre, prófuga exiliada de su país natal, será su objetivo. Sin embargo, no cuenta con que su reencuentro despierte pasiones dormidas y nefastos recuerdos. Además ambos deberán enfrentarse a un férreo enemigo de Natalie cuyo rencor, engendrado por la sombra de un antiguo secreto, les enseñará que las apariencias solo son la punta de un iceberg sumergido en un mar de engaños. La verdad es algo que, en ocasiones, no puede reconstruirse más que con las diferentes versiones que existen de una misma historia. Reseña: «Con una pluma ágil y exquisita, Miranda Kellaway nos envuelve en una historia encantadora, regalándonos una Irlanda tan dura, real e inolvidable como sus propios personajes.» Ruth M.Lerga .
