The book shows how sports have been practiced, experienced, and made meaningful by players and fans throughout history. It assesses how sports developed and diffused across the globe, as well as many other aspects, from emotion, discrimination, and conviviality; politics, nationalism, and protest; and how economics has turned sports into a huge consumer industry. It shows how sports are sociable and health-giving, and also contribute to charity. However, it also examines their dark side: sports' impact on the environment, the use of performance-enhancing drugs, and match-fixing. Covering everything from curling to baseball, boxing to motor racing, this book will appeal to anyone who plays, watches, and enjoys sports, and wants to know more of their history and global impact. 517 3 $aGlobal history of sport 606 $aSports$xHistory 608 $aHistory.$2fast 615 0$aSports$xHistory. 700 $aVamplew$b Wray$0252266 801 0$bYDX 801 1$bYDX 801 2$bBDX 801 2$bUKMGB 801 2$bOCLCO 801 2$bOCLCF 801 2$bWCFLS 801 2$bIND 801 2$bGO3 801 2$bCaOWtL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825233703321 996 $aGames people played$94111805 997 $aUNINA
