Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every four years the summer Olympic Games capture the world’s attention. Over 10,000 athletes from more than 200 countries gather to prove they are the best in their sports. From the first competition held in 1896 to the 2012 London Olympics, the games have hosted some of swimming’s greatest victories and toughest defeats. Fans have witnessed Johnny Weissmuller win back-to-back Olympic gold medals before he found fame on the big screen as Tarzan; they have seen Dara Torres defy age to win three silver medals at the age of 41; and they will forever remember Michael Phelps capturing a record eight gold medals at the 2008 games. The Most Memorable Moments in Olympic Swimming relives the sport’s greatest moments on its biggest stage. Through careful research and the personal recollections from the athletes themselves, John Lohn has brought together the key performances, top athletes, major controversies, and improbable victories of the games. Organized chronologically, the progression of swimming as an Olympic sport comes to life as the top 25 moments are revealed. The best swimmers in Olympic history are featured throughout, from Mark Spitz and Ian Thorpe to Debbie Meyer and Dawn Fraser. Dozens of photographs highlight the athletes and their shared passion for swimming glory. Detailed appendixes include the top Olympic medal winners by country and by athlete, and a bibliography provides key swimming references for the reader. Swimming fans, coaches, athletes, and researchers will enjoy this history of a sport rich in tradition and spectacular moments.

Book excerpt: Under the fifty-year reign of Newark brewer Henry A.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the Boston Globe’s Best Sports Books of the Year: “Incisive, heartbreaking, important and even funny” (Jeremy Schaap, New York Times–bestselling author of Cinderella Man). The people of Brazil celebrated when it was announced that they were hosting the World Cup—the world’s most-viewed athletic tournament—in 2014 and the 2016 Summer Olympics. But as the events were approaching, ordinary Brazilians were holding the country’s biggest protest marches in decades. Sports journalist Dave Zirin traveled to Brazil to find out why. In a rollicking read that travels from the favelas of Rio de Janeiro to the fabled Maracanã Stadium to the halls of power in Washington, DC, Zirin examines Brazilians’ objections to the corruption of the games they love; the toll such events take on impoverished citizens; and how taking to the streets opened up an international conversation on the culture, economics, and politics of sports. “Millions will enjoy the World Cup and Olympics, but Zirin justly reminds readers of the real human costs beyond the spectacle.” —Kirkus Reviews

Book excerpt: World's only cartoon book on the Olympiad. "The funniest book I ever read."--Frank LeMaster, Philadelphia Eagles. A refreshing look at sports & the drive to be number one from a sports psychologist who is also an avid competitive athlete. Something for everyone even if you hate sports. 40 different sports. Over 300 cartoons. Three books in one, each with an hilarious introduction. NEANDERTHAL OLYMPICS depicts our cave dwelling ancestors in primitive versions of various Olympic events. MODERN GAMES. Funny, frustrating situations today's athlete encounters getting endorsements, failing drug tests, overtraining, coping with defeat,... FUTURE GAMES. God competes against Man's genetically perfect athlete. Proves that while winning is desirable, the real fun is in how God plays the games. Sports fans & anti-sportsters will roar as God nonchalantly captures the gold, demonstrating that winning is a matter of how you interpret the rules. For example, in swimming, God walks across the top of the water. Referee admonishes him to keep his body below the waterline. God parts the waters & walks across the bottom of the pool. Heart warming, charming, funny, insightful. Direct Orders to publisher preferred.
