The Story Has Been Told
The book is the result of an idea conceived in 2006 and the writing itself begun in October 2007 and took almost two years. Sources for the project, which included official FIFA publications were numerous and varied. These together with other publications and studies published by other authors that proved to be of great use were consulted and are listed in the Bibliography. An essential guide for the 2010 World Cup and beyond, The Story Has Been Told traces the idea of a World Cup from its conception, inception and how it has evolved over the years as an event to what has become a multibillion-dollar spectacle.
Hurricanes and Carnivals
ÒIn Mexico,Ó writes Ilan Stavans in the introduction to this provocative new collection on Mexican culture and politics, Ò [the essay] is embraced as passionately as a sport.Ó While the American essay may be personal and confessional or erudite and academic, it is presumed to be truthful. By contrast, the Mexican essay pushes the boundaries between fact and fiction as writers seek to make their opinions heardÑin literary journals, in newspapers, and even on cereal boxes. ÒWhat is real and what isnÕt in a Mexican essay, only God knows,Ó concludes Stavans. In Hurricanes and Carnivals, Lee Gutkind, a pioneer in the teaching of creative nonfiction, brings together fifteen essays by Mexic...

Working Class Heroes
Working Class Heroes is much more than the story of a football club. This is the tale of a working-class neighbourhood, its people's relationship with both their team and the outside world, and how they co-exist. Founded in 1924, Rayo Vallecano recently achieved their highest ever position in the Spanish football league, though shortly after this feat they were brought back down to earth with relegation to the second tier of Spanish football - an outcome wholly in keeping with the historical ups and downs of the club. Madrid is a city overwhelmed by the existence of Real Madrid, though out in Vallecas, just a short metro ride from the city centre, Rayo Vallecano are the only team for the local people. While they accept their role as Madrid's third team, they wear their fandom like a badge of honour, and the club's fan group pride themselves on being anti-fascist. Working Class Heroes is the story of a writer who followed Los Vallecanos around for a year, learning from the fans about the football club and its chequered past.
Guardiola
Pep Guardiola: Er soll die Bayern zum führenden Verein in Europa machen. Wer ist dieser Heilsbringer, den sich die Münchner ein Rekordgehalt kosten lassen? Auf jeden Fall ein interessanter Mann. Als Barça-Spieler gewann er 1992 den Europapokal – unter seinem Lehrmeister Johan Cruyff, dessen Spielphilosophie 'offensiv + erfolgreich' er verinnerlichte wie kein anderer. Und als Trainer in Barcelona holte er innerhalb von vier Jahren nicht weniger als 14 hochkarätige Titel. Aber Guardiola ist mehr als ein guter Fußballer und Trainer. Schon als Spieler wurde er von seinen Kollegen 'el filósofo' gerufen, 'der Philosoph'. Er pflegt Freundschaften zu Sängern und Poeten und ist ein politischer Kopf, der Verbindungen zur katalanischen Autonomiebewegung unterhält. Warum es den begehrtesten Trainer der Welt ausgerechnet nach München zog und welche Fußballphilosophie er dort umsetzen wird, auch diesen Fragen geht Autor Dietrich Schulze-Marmeling inseiner kenntnisreichen Biografie nach.
