    Book SynopsisThis edited collection examines how fantasy sports play has established a prominent and promising foothold in the larger sports ecology. Often considered an isolated activity for the hardcore sports fan, fantasy sports play have since been incorporated into sports broadcasting and editorial coverage, sports marketing and promotions, and even into the very sports themselves with athletes and teams using the activities to draw fans further into the sports experience. This edited collection invites leading scholars and sports professionals from several different fields to share historical and emerging perspectives on the importance of fantasy sports as an artifact of theoretical and empirical importance to larger issues of sport and society. 496Trade ReviewThe book Fantasy Sports and the Changing Sports Media Industry, by Nicholas Bowman, John Spinda, and Jimmy Sanderson, provides a timely and detailed examination of fantasy sports and how the sports-media industry has changed to accommodate the expanding appetite for media surrounding players and teams that affect an owner’s fantasy team…. Overall, the collection of work on fantasy sports compiled by the editors is very timely and thorough. The book could be used in a sport communication course as a supplementary text to attract students into exploring how communication plays into fantasy sports. Fantasy sports are complex, and this book is a large step toward educating many on fantasy sport and the impact it has on its participants. The book is full of interesting content that will leave readers with an increased understanding of fantasy sports and could even help them manage fantasy-sport teams of their own. * International Journal of Sport Communication *For those trying to understand why fan engagement with sports is increasingly dominated by the playing of fantasy sport and how new industries aim to monetize that engagement, Fantasy Sports and the Changing Sports Media Industry provides a vivid and comprehensive look at the 'realities' and dynamics of a new form of fanship set in an age of digital and social media. In this essential collection, the editors—all leaders in studying how mediated sport is played in a quickly changing media environment—have organized key scholars from across the globe in assessing how and why fantasy sports are played, not only for fans, but as a lucrative business enterprise. Here we see what underlies the roots of fantasy sports, the 'stimulations' and 'simulations' they provide, what drives the 'fanaticism' of fantasy sport fanship, how sports media are being changed by the rise of fantasy sports, and how new industries are 're-capitalizing' sports and challenging its legal terrain. For students of this 'new game,' those increasingly preoccupied by playing it, and those who are puzzled by its pull, this collection is essential reading. -- Lawrence A. Wenner, Loyola Marymount UniversityIf I were constructing a fantasy line-up of sports communication, Bowman, Spinda, and Sanderson would be my top picks. This collection provides the first comprehensive look at the fantasy sports phenomenon that grew from a hobby into a multimillion dollar industry. -- Adam C. Earnheardt, Youngstown State UniversityFantasy Sports and the Changing Sports Media Industry provides an interesting and informative view into the rapidly evolving realm of fantasy sports. Nicholas Bowman, John Spinda, and James Sanderson have skillfully organized an edited collection which provides readers with a working knowledge of the historical and industry driven components of fantasy sports and forecasts the future implications and possibilities of fantasy sports. This book is a thought provoking and valuable resource for everyone in the sport industry. -- Andy Gillentine, University of South CarolinaTable of ContentsSection 1: Roots of Fantasy Sports Chapter 1: The Origin of Fantasy Sports Shaun M.

    Book SynopsisA colorful look at how modern presidents play sports, have used sports to play politics, and what our fan-in-chief can often tell us about our national pastimes.POWER PLAYERS tells all the great stories of presidents and the sports they played, loved and spectated as a way to better understand what it takes to be elected to lead a country driven by sports fans of all stripes. While every modern president has used sports to relate to Joe Q. Public, POWER PLAYERS turns the lens around to examine how sports have shaped our presidents and made for some amazing moments in White House history, including:- Dwight Eisenhower played so much golf he had a putting green built outside the Oval Office!. (He also almost died on a golf course while in office.)- How John F. Kennedy's touch-football games with family were knowing plays to polish the Camelot mystique.- People might not have related to the aloof and awkward Richard Nixon but, hey, he would bowl a few frames just like them.- Ronald Reagan didn't just play the part of "The Gipper" for the silver screen, but truly adopted the famous footballer's never-say-die persona.- George H.W. Bush once ran a horseshoe league from the White House - with a commissioner and brackets! (He would later claim to have come up with the fan expression, "You da man.")- Bill Clinton's Arkansas Razorback fandom was so intense that he could be found shouting at the referees from a box at the basketball national championship game in 1994. - George W. Bush's not only owned the Texas Rangers but also threw out the most iconic first pitch ever in the 2001 World Series. - What really went down when Barack Obama played pickup hoops with the North Carolina Tarheels. (He later won the state by .3 percent of the vote.)- Donald Trump is the only president ever featured in a professional wrestling storyline-and everything real and fake that went with that. In the pages of POWER PLAYERS, a love of sports shines through as the key to understanding who these presidents really were and how they chose to play by the rules, occasionally bluff or cheat, all the while coaching the country into a few quality wins and some notorious losses.

    1 in stock

    Book Synopsis"Steroids are ruining the game of baseball. It has faced no more serious threat since gamblers gained control of the World Series in 1919." Or are we overreacting? The problem of steroids, recreational drugs, and other performance enhancers is one of the fundamental issues facing not only baseball but all of sports and society. With pundits pointing fingers and former players naming names, a drug-induced McCarthyism is tarring some of the greatest players ever to take the field. In The Juice, Will Carroll, an acknowledged authority on baseball conditioning and injuries, calls for a scientific, reasoned approach to the steroids problem. He first explains the science of steroids and other drugs, describes how athletes are tested, considers the scientific evidence of effects and side effects, and, most important, analyzes whether and how these drugs impact the game. He explores the grey area of legal supplements, covers the BALCO story, and speculates on the next generation of performance enhancers. And he profiles the motivations and experiences of professional players, student athletes, and baseball trainers. Carroll has interviewed hundreds of players, executives, owners, and experts. His information from players who have used steroids will surprise everyone with the reasons why players cheat. His exclusive conversation with the creator of some of baseball's most abused substances will make The Juice the season's most widely discussed baseball book. For readers who want to understand why baseball has a drug problem, how the drugs work, and how they have affected the game, Carroll provides the answers. They are surprising—and should lead to new and better questions.Trade ReviewHe explains the science...and, most importantly, analyzes whether and how these drugs affect the game. * Newswise.com *The answers are here in Carroll's well-researched, fact-filled book. * The San Diego Union-Tribune *An indispensable guide to today's controversies. * Newsweek *Carroll lays out a small wealth of data, compressed into simple enough terms, to inform the reader what steroids are [and] what they are not. -- Jeff KallmanAnyone who knows Will Carroll, or who has read his writings for Baseball Prospectus, knows he cares deeply about the game of baseball. It is the very reason he has authored The Juice. Will’s book will help those in the game, and the fans who follow the game, understand the issues of a problem that needs to be faced before it can disappear. -- Fred Claire, former L.A. Dodger Executive VP and author of Fred Claire: My 30 Years in Dodger BlueWill Carroll does a simple, brilliant thing in this book: He asks questions...and he goes about answering them, in a deliberate, curious, and rational way. His prose is clean and his aim is true, and in one fell swoop he’s raised the level of debate about steroids in this country. ...From now on, if a person wants to pontificate on the question, he’d better have read The Juice first. And if a person hopes to speak intelligently about how performance-enhancing drugs affect the games we play and the sports we follow, she will have certainly read The Juice. -- Eric Neel, ESPNThe Juice is a great resource for information on the history and presence of banned and illegal performance enhancers in sports. Will Carroll’s work really is a baseball book (on steroids)! -- Tom HouseIt's brimming with cold-eyed analysis, digestible science and shoe-leather journalism. No histrionics, no agenda; just an exhaustive look at steroids and what they mean for the game. It’s the most important work of its kind. -- Dayn Perry, FOX SportsEye opening! This is an important book for everyone who influences young athletes. The Juice is an objective look at the world of performance enhancement drugs today and tomorrow. -- Karl KuehlEveryone talks about steroids, but no one knows anything about them. Will Carroll’s The Juice is the first step in our education. -- Allen Barra * The Wall Street Journal *There’s a difference between thinking critically and criticizing, and Will Carroll demonstrates that throughout the text. The Juice is a must-read for legislators, sports administrators, educators, lawyers, doctors, journalists, athletes of all levels, and fans. -- Will Weiss, Senior Editor, YESNetwork.comStop! Don’t say another word about steroids until you’ve read The Juice. -- Rob Neyer, ESPNWill Carroll’s The Juice fills the yawning educational gap that exists in discussions on the topic. Are steroids in baseball a real problem? Absolutely, but if you want to have an intelligent conversation about them, make sure you first read The Juice. -- Jeff Erickson, RotowireA good job of showing why the situation involving performance enhancing drugs is more complicated than you might think. -- Ben Adler * New Republic *A fascinating new book. * ESPN the Magazine *Our education has begun.... Carroll...sifts through facts and myths and helps understand the layers of performance enhancements. -- Peter Gammons * ESPN the Magazine *Riveting...tremendously important: spelling out the complex arguments and issues regarding baseball and drug use.... A blessedly blather–free book. -- Daniel Brown * Mercury News *A professional and insightful approach to defining the ramifications of steroid usage as it applies to playing the sport of baseball. -- Bernie Gilmer * Sports Ramblings *Intriguing detail. -- Art Thiel * Seattle Post-Intelligencer *A dose of enlightenment. -- Brandon Wilson * Baseballmuse.Com *A must for any involved in the sport's finer issues. * Bookwatch *This book...is a great example of how to objectively examine a subject. -- Greg Hack * Kansas City Star *Riveting. -- Leo Roth * Democrat & Chronicle *Engaging reading. -- Russ Smith * New York Sun *One of the more important baseball and sports books written this decade. * Royalsreview.Com *

    Book SynopsisIn between his romances with baseball, in early 1969 Bill Veeck took up the challenge of managing Boston's semi–moribund Suffolk Downs racetrack. "Being of sound mind and in reasonable possession of my faculties," Veeck wrote, "I marshaled my forces, at the tender age of fifty–four, and marched upon the city of Boston, Massachusetts, like a latter–day Ben Franklin, to seek my fame and fortune as the operator of a racetrack. Two years later, fortune having taken one look at my weathered features and shaken its hoary locks, I retreated, smiling gamely." When he took over the track, Veeck had yet to learn that the normal daily output of some sixteen hundred horses (including straw) would amount to so much, or be so hard to dispose of. But that was the least of his problems. In the tough–minded and Tabasco–tongued prose that is his trademark, Veeck recalls the battles he won and lost, the fun he had, and what he discovered about horse racing at "Sufferin' Downs." It's a zesty, complicated story but a relentlessly fascinating one about the inside workings of one of the most popular sports in America.

    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisEye of the Hurricane: My Path from Darkness to Freedom is a self-portrait of Rubin "Hurricane" Carter, a twentieth-century icon and controversial victim of the U.S. justice system turned spokesperson for the wrongfully convicted. In this moving narrative Dr. Carter tells of all the "prisons" he has survived--from his childhood through his wrongful incarceration and after. A spiritual as well as a factual autobiography, Eye of the Hurricane explores Carter's personal philosophy, born of the unimaginable duress of wrongful imprisonment and conceived through his defiance of the brutal institution of prison and ten years of solitary confinement. His is not a comfortable story or a comfortable philosophy, but it offers hope for those who have none and serves as a call to action for those who abhor injustice. Eye of the Hurricane may well change the way we view crime and punishment in the twenty-first century.Trade Review"Rubin Carter describes his truly inspiring journey through his early life of brutality and suffering into his current life of hard-won spiritual affirmation and worldwide advocacy for the wrongly convicted. His views on the American justice system and the death penalty are outspoken, uncompromising, and ultimately accurate. Dr. Carter's autobiography presents the unique and passionate vision of a unique and passionate man." -- Sister Helen Prejean, author, "Dead Man Walking"When a judge is responsible for freeing a person whom he believes has been wrongly convicted of murder, he worries whether he will live to regret or be proud of that decision. When it comes to Rubin Carter, I have no regrets. He has justified my faith in him, and I am proud of the person he has become. He is a testament to the human spirit." -- Judge H Lee Sarokin, retired, U.S. Appeals Court"A wonderful and inspiring book. I expected gritty -- it's based on the life of Rubin "Hurricane" Carter, after all. What I didn't expect was to be so moved by his extraordinary insight, his disarming honesty and his grace. I loved the book." -- Professor Cookie Ridolfi, director, Northern California Innocence Project"An uplifting tale of how a man can transcend shackles of all sorts." -- Globe & Mail"Long story short, if Eye of the Hurricane doesn't inspire you, nothing will." -- Smooth Magazine"Essential for the socially conscious." -- Library Journal
