The selections are entirely different from those in the first volume, discussing diverse topics such as views of sport in the Puritan society of colonial New England, gender roles and the croquet craze of the 1800s, and the Super Bowl's place in contemporary sport. Each of the six parts includes an introduction to the essays, allowing readers to relate them to the cultural changes and influences of the period.

Suitable for use as a stand-alone or supplemental text in undergraduate and graduate sport history courses, Sport in America provides students with opportunities to examine selected sport topics in more depth, realize a greater understanding of sport throughout history, and consider the interrelationships of sport and other societal institutions. Essays are arranged chronologically from the early American period to the present day to provide the proper historical context and offer perspective on changes that have occurred in sport over time. Also, a list of suggested readings provided in each part offers readers the opportunity to expand their thinking on the nature of sport throughout American history. Essays on how Pinehurst Golf Course was created, the interconnection between sport and the World War I military experience, and discussion of sport icons such as Joe Louis, Walter Camp, Jackie Robinson, and Cal Ripken Jr. allow readers to explore sport as a reflection of the changing values and norms of society.

Heres a tasty treat for wordplay fans! After theyve devoured this buffet of puzzles--with themes like "Setting the Mood," "House Calls," and "Party On"--solvers will feel that their brains have been well fed. Plus, a little mental dessert awaits them, because the unused letters in each grid spell out an additional message.
From "First Ladies' Names" to "Australian Open Winners," from "Katy Perry" to "The Simpsons:" this chunky book of puzzles has enough word searches to keep solvers busy for a full year! It's a fun way to give your brain a great workout--and train your powers of concentration, too. Every one of the word searches has a theme, from "Terms of Endearment" to "Deserts of the World." But watch out: some are easier than others. For easier solving, go for pop culture topics old and new like "1950s Golden Oldies," "Bruce Springsteen," or "Scary Movies." Try something sports related--perhaps "In the Ballpark" or "Orange Bowl Winners." Want something more challenging? Take a look at the list for "G Words." Every one begins with the letter "G," so it's harder to find what you're looking for. (And some words, like "Growing" and "Goggles," have two or three). As you move along, the puzzles contain more words, or longer ones, raising the difficulty level. Supercharge your brain and get yourself a year's worth of entertainment at a great price!
