Book Synopsis How Football Began by : Tony Collins
Download or read book How Football Began written by Tony Collins and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-08-06 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ambitious and fascinating history considers why, in the space of sixty years between 1850 and 1910, football grew from a marginal and unorganised activity to become the dominant winter entertainment for millions of people around the world. The book explores how the world’s football codes - soccer, rugby league, rugby union, American, Australian, Canadian and Gaelic - developed as part of the commercialised leisure industry in the nineteenth century. Football, however and wherever it was played, was a product of the second industrial revolution, the rise of the mass media, and the spirit of the age of the masses. Important reading for students of sports studies, history, sociology, development and management, this book is also a valuable resource for scholars and academics involved in the study of football in all its forms, as well as an engrossing read for anyone interested in the early history of football.

Book Synopsis Propaganda, Power and Persuasion by : David Welch
Download or read book Propaganda, Power and Persuasion written by David Welch and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2013-11-27 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Philip Taylor has written, 'The challenge (of the modern information age) is to ensure that no single propaganda source gains monopoly over the information and images that shape our thoughts. If this happens, the war propagandists will be back in business again.' Propaganda came of age in the Twentieth Century. The development of mass- and multi-media offered a fertile ground for propaganda while global conflict provided the impetus needed for its growth. Propaganda has however become a portmanteau word, which can be interpreted in a number of different ways. What are the characteristic features of propaganda, and how can it be defined? The distinguished contributors to this book trace the development of techniques of 'opinion management' from the First World War to the current conflict in Afghanistan. They reveal how state leaders and spin-doctors operating at the behest of the state, sought to shape popular attitudes - at home and overseas - endeavouring to harness new media with the objective of winning hearts and minds. The book provides compelling evidence of how the study and practice of propaganda today is shaped by its history.

Book Synopsis The Palgrave International Handbook of Football and Politics by : Jean-Michel De Waele
Download or read book The Palgrave International Handbook of Football and Politics written by Jean-Michel De Waele and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-05-21 with total page 699 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Handbook offers an analysis of the relation between football and politics, based on over 30 case studies covering five continents. It provides a detailed picture of this relation in a wide number of European, American, African, and Asian states, as well as a comparative assessment of football in a global perspective, thus combining the general and the local. It examines themes such as the political origins of football in the studied country, the historical club rivalries, the political aspects of football as a sports spectacle, and the contemporary issues linked to the political use of football. By following the same structure with each study, the volume allows for the comparison between largely investigated cases and cases that have seldom been addressed. The Handbook will be of use particularly to students and scholars in the fields of sport studies, political science and sociology, as well as cultural studies, anthropology and leisure studies.
Book Synopsis The Making of Association Football by : Graham Curry
Download or read book The Making of Association Football written by Graham Curry and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is concerned with the early development of association football. The underlying hypothesis here is that the modern game was essentially â ~madeâ (TM) between the years 1857 and 1877. By the latter date, soccer in England was finally governed by a single set of laws which stressed the use of the feet over the hands, thus confirming and further accentuating the split between association and rugby football. The book makes extensive use of the original minutes of the Football Association of the time, which tell a tale of disagreement, possible conspiracy and the rise of Charles Alcock, the creator of the FA Cup and international football. By 1877, a governing body for soccer had been in existence for 14 years, a national cup competition had begun six years previously, international matches had been played, examples of professionalism had surfaced, and the modern game had effectively been â ~madeâ (TM).

Download or read book Playbooks and Checkbooks written by Stefan Szymanski and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-05-26 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "What economic rules govern sports? How does the sports business differ from other businesses? [This book examines] the fundamental economic relationships shaping modern sports. Focusing on the ways that the sports business does and does not overlap with economics, the book uncovers the core paradox at the heart of the sports industry. Unlike other businesses, the sports industry would not survive if competitors obliterated each other to extinction, financially or otherwise--without rivals there is nothing to sell. Playbooks and Checkbooks examines how this unique economic truth plays out in the sports world, both on and off the field"--Publisher marketing.
Book Synopsis The Original Laws of Cricket by : Bodleian Library
Download or read book The Original Laws of Cricket written by Bodleian Library and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of all the rules governing sport, the laws of cricket are among the oldest. The first written rules of 1744 survive uniquely on the border of a piece of linen at the MCC Museum of Cricket. They were drawn up by certain 'Noblemen and Gentlemen' at a time when gambling on cricket matches was rife. The 'laws' were codified to ensure a fair outcome when so much was riding on the game. The story of the evolution of these laws and how they affected the game is a fascinating and seldom told chapter in the history of cricket.Following on from the success of The Rules of Association Football 1863 and The Original Rules of Rugby, this book reproduces the complete text of the original laws and is illustrated with images from the unique manuscript held at the MCC as well as images of the game from the eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It also includes what is thought to be the first known image of cricket dating from a fourteenth-century manuscript now in the Bodleian Library.
Book Synopsis Inverting The Pyramid by : Jonathan Wilson
Download or read book Inverting The Pyramid written by Jonathan Wilson and published by Bold Type Books. This book was released on 2018-08-14 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "An outstanding work the [soccer] book of the decade." -- Sunday Business Post Inverting the Pyramid is a pioneering soccer book that chronicles the evolution of soccer tactics and the lives of the itinerant coaching geniuses who have spread their distinctive styles across the globe. Through Jonathan Wilson's brilliant historical detective work we learn how the South Americans shrugged off the British colonial order to add their own finesse to the game; how the Europeans harnessed individual technique and built it into a team structure; how the game once featured five forwards up front, while now a lone striker is not uncommon. Inverting the Pyramid provides a definitive understanding of the tactical genius of modern-day Barcelona, for the first time showing how their style of play developed from Dutch "Total Football," which itself was an evolution of the Scottish passing game invented by Queens Park in the 1870s and taken on by Tottenham Hotspur in the 1930s. Inverting the Pyramid has been called the "Big Daddy" (Zonal Marking) of soccer tactics books; it is essential for any coach, fan, player, or fantasy manager of the beautiful game.
