Download or read book British Sporting Literature and Culture in the Long Eighteenth Century written by Sharon Harrow and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-09 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sport as it is largely understood today was invented during the long eighteenth century when the modern rules of sport were codified; sport emerged as a business, a spectacle, and a performance; and gaming organized itself around sporting culture. Examining the underexplored intersection of sport, literature, and culture, this collection situates sport within multiple contexts, including religion, labor, leisure time, politics, nationalism, gender, play, and science. A poetics, literature, and culture of sport swelled during the era, influencing artists such as John Collett and writers including Lord Byron, Jonathan Swift, and Henry Fielding. This volume brings together literary scholars and historians of sport to demonstrate the ubiquity of sport to eighteenth-century life, the variety of literary and cultural representations of sporting experiences, and the evolution of sport from rural pastimes to organized, regular events of national and international importance. Each essay offers in-depth readings of both material practices and representations of sport as they relate to, among other subjects, recreational sports, the Cotswold games, clothing, women archers, tennis, celebrity athletes, and the theatricality of boxing. Taken together, the essays in this collection offer valuable multiple perspectives on reading sport during the century when sport became modern.

Download or read book A Collectors Guide to Signature and Photo Decal Wood Tennis Rackets written by Dan White and published by . This book was released on 2020-04 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There have been several books and articles on collecting tennis rackets and tennis memorabilia, covering the history, condition and value associated with each item. There are no other books that attempt to visually catalog all of the wood endorsed tennis rackets - until now. This book is focused on "endorsed" wood rackets manufactured until about 1985, which I believe to be the end of the wood racket era. "Endorsed", for the purpose of this book is defined as a racket manufacturers paid endorsement by a person's signature or photo or both. Collecting tennis rackets, especially wood ones, is a fun and challenging hobby. Wood rackets are a lost art whose construction is beautiful and sometimes ornate. If you are a beginner or an experienced collector of wood tennis rackets than you have, by now, discovered the lack of information on the subject. When I started collecting wood rackets there was a limited source of information on just how many rackets were produced. So how would you know if your collection is complete or more important, what to search for. The objective of A Collectors Guide to Signature and Photo Decal Wood Tennis Rackets is to identify as many of these endorsed wood rackets as possible in this racket niche to assist the collector in knowing what is out there and what to look for. Even though I have attempted to collect or identify all the rackets that were produced, I doubt if this goal is really possible. A Collectors Guide to Signature and Photo Decal Wood Tennis Rackets is not a coffee table book and is organized simply for identification purposes. The nearly 1100 rackets identified in this book, are accompanied by an Index with important identification information and over 700 photos. The condition of the rackets presented here was not as important as the the photograph itself, knowing that many of these rackets may never be seen again.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tennis is at once an art and a science. The game as played by such men as Norman E. Brookes, the late Anthony Wilding, William M. Johnston, and R.N. Williams is art. Yet like all true art, it has its basis in scientific methods that must be learned and learned thoroughly for a foundation before the artistic structure of a great tennis game can be constructed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Racquets, Tennis, and Squash Conscientious teachers of elementary things are a mystery or even an abomination to the genius, who does not realise that his own exquisite skill must possess not only the outward and visible signs, that inimitable blending of dignity, power, and gracefulness, but also certain imitable foundations, even if these latter parts of his play be (as foundations love to be) least appar ently important. To the genius it seems mere waste of time to analyse a complex whole - to him the stroke is a single organism - into many simple parts, and to explain the why and the whereby; the function of each part, and the way of manufacturing each part by accurate and attentive effort. To the genius it seems sufficient that the Clock is a clock and can be wound up with one small key. Why take the works to pieces? Why spoil a beautifully harmonious unity by describing its mechanism - its spring and wheel, its pendulum and escapement? Why? Because we want to find out and to be able to alter the parts which compel the Clock to keep poor time and to work altogether badly. Otherwise we might for ever gaze at the skilful and unskilful players side by side, and continue in vain to urge the latter to rise to the standard of the former.

This book was released on 2010-12-16 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book “Paradigm Shift for Future Tennis” starts with revelations that make obvious the limitations of today’s tennis, which does not use the laws of modern Biomechanics and Neurophysiology. The second part of the book includes a new approach to the quantum mind of a champion. It will reveal the secret weapon of Roger Federer and the blueprint of a future tennis champion. This book will expose the new tennis shot emerging from the field of sports science. It is a real weapon, which can generate a ball-speed similar to that of the first serve: the Power High-Forehand. Its aim is to generate maximal possible racket-head speed while players do not wait for the ball to bounce. This is both a tactical and psychological basis for the future tennis game. This aggressive interceptive psychology will shape the minds of future tennis champions. High racket-head speed can be achieved using the stretch-reflex, without big loops and swings. Weapons of a future tennis game will comprise of whip-like tennis serves and ground strokes, based on the stretch–reflex, and using the whole body in a fluid and integrated manner, thus manifesting a superb combination of speed and strength. Restructure your brain and apply the power of state of the art biomechanical, mathematical, medical, neural, cognitive, and quantum computational intelligence to understand the tennis of today and the future!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does your opponent put that tricky spin on the ball? Why are some serves easier to return than others? The mysteries behind the winning strokes, equipment, and surfaces of the game of tennis are accessibly explained by Howard Brody through the laws of physics. And he gives practical pointers to ways players can use this understanding to advantage in the game. Through extensive laboratory testing and computer modeling, Brody has investigated the physics behind the shape of the tennis racket, the string pattern, the bounce of the tennis ball, the ways a particular court surface can determine the speed of the game, and the many other physical factors involved in tennis.
