	Ground Rules: A Celebration of Test Cricket London, United Kingdom, dakini books ltd. 2003. (ISBN: 0953703266) Hard Cover, 4to - over 9" - 12" tall. Born in the humble surroundings of a Hampshire village and extended across the world by British colonialism, cricket today is one of the most vibrant, passionately followed sports on earth. At the heart of it is Test cricket. Since 1877, when Australia took on England at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, Test cricket has been the ultimate arena for the finest players to show off their talents. Ground Rules: A Celebration of Test Cricket looks at 13 of the world's greatest Test-match venues and plots the chart that has made them such an inspiration to players of all nationalities. David Gower, the former England captain, sets the scene with his foreword and Barney Spender, the editor, explains the attraction of the cricket ground as a sporting theatre. Australia's most successful captain ever, Steve Waugh looks at the Melbourne Cricket Ground and the Sydney Cricket Ground in Australia while the Indian captain Sourav Ganguly offers a personal view of the grounds in Kolkata and Chennai and discusses India's famous wins there against the Australians in 2000-01. Sri Lankan batsman Kumar Sangakkara sizes up the legacy of the Sinhalese Sports Club in Colombo whilst Andy Flower, driven out of Zimbabwe after the 2003 World Cup for his much-publicised political statement, explains how the Harare Sports Club lost its charm during those frantic few weeks. The eminent cricket broadcasters and writers Christopher Martin-Jenkins, Donna Symmonds, Peter Robinson, Richard Boock, Qamar Ahmed and Richard Hobson track the development of Lord's, The Oval, the Kensington Oval in Barbados, Newlands, the Basin Reserve, the National Stadium in Karachi and the Bangabandhu Stadium in Dhaka. In a special appendix provided by Wisden/CricInfo, Ground Rules also contains an extensive reference section that includes the scorecard of every Test played at each of the 13 grounds featured here. Ground Rules is the ultimate celebration of cricket, tapping into every cricketer's passion of the game and the grounds on which it is played. There are stunning and rare images from some of the world's best photographers together with original insights from some of the legendary names in Cricket. Very Good/Very Good.

	Sport and Society : A Student Introduction Sage. 2003. (ISBN: 0761970347) Soft Cover. `Barrie Houlihan's astonishingly ambitious and skilfully assembled collection, Sport and Society, examines the relations between sport, social policy and the social context that underlies the two. Organized around such themes as exclusion, commercialism and international comparisons, the book allows the reader to understand not only the centrality of sport to contemporary society, but the often perplexing policies that contrive to encourage or deny participation, promote or deter public sector involvement and support or undermine physical education. Importantly, Houlihan never prioritises the general over the particular, always striving to find detail amid the bigger picture' - Ellis Cashmore, Professor of Culture, Media and Sport, Staffordshire University and author of Sports Culture: An A-Z Guide.

	BRACKEN, KYRAN Kyran Bracken Memoir Orion. 2004, First Edition. (ISBN: 0752868446) Hard Cover, 12mo - over 6Â¾" - 7Â¾" tall. Synopsis At the age of 22, Kyran Bracken made his England debut in the toughest imaginable circumstances, taking on the formidable All Blacks. From the start he was targeted by the opposition, but he battled on through the painful knocks to help his side to a rare victory. Things didn't get any easier in the rest of his career. For years, he was competing with first Dewi Morris and then Matt Dawson for England's No 9 shirt, yet still he managed to win 51 caps. But that was not his most difficult battle: there were chronic back problems that put him out of the game for months on end, and psychological demons that had a huge impact on his life. Bracken's story is not a simple one of games played and victories won; it is a moving account of one man's struggle with himself, brilliantly told by one of rugby's most intelligent and charming characters. It is more than a rugby story, but a tale of triumph over adversity that can appeal far beyond the rugby market. BRAND NEW COPY/As New. Signed by Author.

	CARLIN, JOHN White Angels : Beckham, Real Madrid Bloomsbury. 2004. (ISBN: 074757345x) Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7Â¾" - 9Â¾" tall. Beyond race, faith, politics, class, sex or age, football is the great global religion. One of the most striking phenomena of the early 21st century is how the popularity of the game the British invented 150 years ago has exploded, attracting millions of new devotees. Women everywhere are flocking to the game, as are the hitherto pagan peoples of China, Japan and the United States. At the epicenter of this vast but benevolent explosion are David Beckham and the club he joined in 2003, Real Madrid. No athlete in the world - and maybe no single individual - provokes more widespread fascination than the Londoner with the film-star looks. No sports team anywhere exudes more glamour, has won more competitions or possesses a more dazzling collection of superstars than Real Madrid. The fusion of the two has gripped the attention of literally millions of people, changing the face of the world's favourite sport, marking a clear divide between what came before and what will come after; between the Old Football and the New. "White Angels" looks at how David Beckham's transfer took place, the machinations and intrigue behind the deal. It exhaustively details Beckham's first year at Real, and how he fared on the field itself alongside the such global stars as Figo, Zidane, Carlos, Raul and Ronaldo. John Carlin, currently a Spanish resident, has been a foreign correspondent for many British newspapers. A football fanatic, he covered the World Cup in 2002 for the "Observer" and "el Pais". In the writing of this book he has had unprecedented access to the Real Madrid team traveling with them to matches, conducting extensive interviews with the players, its manager Jorge Valdano and its charismatic and driven chairman Florentino Perez.

The inside, in-depth and indiscreet story of a season with Britain's worst football club - East Stirlingshire. The Shire are lucky if all eleven players make it to a game, they have an average home attendance at their dilapidated Firs Park ground of 200 and they ended the 2004/05 season bottom of the Scottish Third Division - for the third consecutive year. Granted access to all areas, Jeff Connor gets into the dressing room, the board room and the dug-out. But, above all, he gets into the spirit of the club. He began the season a scoffing cynic and finished it lost in admiration for one of the dottiest sporting institutions in Britain as the Shire attempted to reach the promised land - Second bottom of the Scottish Third Division. At times funny, sad, heart-warming and embarrassing, as events on and off the pitch unfold, "Pointless" is an unmissable insight into a unique football team. As New.

For over half a century Alistair Cooke was the leading interpreter of America to the rest of the world. In the course of millions of printed and broadcast words he frequently brought his unique blend of curiosity, wit and perceptive analysis to bear on sporting events on both sides of the Atlantic. Cooke had a lifelong fascination with sports â€“ but of all the sports he witnessed and covered, his first love was always golf, about which nobody has written more brilliantly and more lovingly. Here, gathered together for the first time, is a collection of Cooke's essays on his lasting passion. Whether it is Arnold Palmer playing in 102-degree heat in San Antonio, dapper Gary Player winning the U.S. Open at Creve Coeur, Missouri, or Jack Nicklaus playing (and winning) almost anywhere, Alistair Cooke on his favourite sport is a rare and constant pleasure. Cooke's golf journalism shows all the mischievous charm and masterly narrative technique that made him one of the great reporters of the twentieth century. New/New.

These arresting portraits reveal the footballer as icon; strength and artistry of movement are implied. In The FIFA 100, art meets football, and the book is a fitting tribute to all the players who have made the game so beautiful. With forewords by Pele and Sepp Blatter, the President of FIFA, the book contains more than 100 stunning portraits and a biography of each player and photographer. It accompanies a touring exhibition of these pictures, which has been organised by FIFA for its centennial year. Very Good/Very Good.

	Ground Rules: A Celebration of Test Cricket London, United Kingdom, dakini books ltd. 2003. (ISBN: 0953703266) Hard Cover, 4to - over 9" - 12" tall. Born in the humble surroundings of a Hampshire village and extended across the world by British colonialism, cricket today is one of the most vibrant, passionately followed sports on earth. At the heart of it is Test cricket. Since 1877, when Australia took on England at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, Test cricket has been the ultimate arena for the finest players to show off their talents. Ground Rules: A Celebration of Test Cricket looks at 13 of the world's greatest Test-match venues and plots the chart that has made them such an inspiration to players of all nationalities. David Gower, the former England captain, sets the scene with his foreword and Barney Spender, the editor, explains the attraction of the cricket ground as a sporting theatre. Australia's most successful captain ever, Steve Waugh looks at the Melbourne Cricket Ground and the Sydney Cricket Ground in Australia while the Indian captain Sourav Ganguly offers a personal view of the grounds in Kolkata and Chennai and discusses India's famous wins there against the Australians in 2000-01. Sri Lankan batsman Kumar Sangakkara sizes up the legacy of the Sinhalese Sports Club in Colombo whilst Andy Flower, driven out of Zimbabwe after the 2003 World Cup for his much-publicised political statement, explains how the Harare Sports Club lost its charm during those frantic few weeks. The eminent cricket broadcasters and writers Christopher Martin-Jenkins, Donna Symmonds, Peter Robinson, Richard Boock, Qamar Ahmed and Richard Hobson track the development of Lord's, The Oval, the Kensington Oval in Barbados, Newlands, the Basin Reserve, the National Stadium in Karachi and the Bangabandhu Stadium in Dhaka. In a special appendix provided by Wisden/CricInfo, Ground Rules also contains an extensive reference section that includes the scorecard of every Test played at each of the 13 grounds featured here. Ground Rules is the ultimate celebration of cricket, tapping into every cricketer's passion of the game and the grounds on which it is played. There are stunning and rare images from some of the world's best photographers together with original insights from some of the legendary names in Cricket. Very Good/Very Good.

	Sport and Society : A Student Introduction Sage. 2003. (ISBN: 0761970347) Soft Cover. `Barrie Houlihan's astonishingly ambitious and skilfully assembled collection, Sport and Society, examines the relations between sport, social policy and the social context that underlies the two. Organized around such themes as exclusion, commercialism and international comparisons, the book allows the reader to understand not only the centrality of sport to contemporary society, but the often perplexing policies that contrive to encourage or deny participation, promote or deter public sector involvement and support or undermine physical education. Importantly, Houlihan never prioritises the general over the particular, always striving to find detail amid the bigger picture' - Ellis Cashmore, Professor of Culture, Media and Sport, Staffordshire University and author of Sports Culture: An A-Z Guide.

	BRACKEN, KYRAN Kyran Bracken Memoir Orion. 2004, First Edition. (ISBN: 0752868446) Hard Cover, 12mo - over 6Â¾" - 7Â¾" tall. Synopsis At the age of 22, Kyran Bracken made his England debut in the toughest imaginable circumstances, taking on the formidable All Blacks. From the start he was targeted by the opposition, but he battled on through the painful knocks to help his side to a rare victory. Things didn't get any easier in the rest of his career. For years, he was competing with first Dewi Morris and then Matt Dawson for England's No 9 shirt, yet still he managed to win 51 caps. But that was not his most difficult battle: there were chronic back problems that put him out of the game for months on end, and psychological demons that had a huge impact on his life. Bracken's story is not a simple one of games played and victories won; it is a moving account of one man's struggle with himself, brilliantly told by one of rugby's most intelligent and charming characters. It is more than a rugby story, but a tale of triumph over adversity that can appeal far beyond the rugby market. BRAND NEW COPY/As New. Signed by Author.

	CARLIN, JOHN White Angels : Beckham, Real Madrid Bloomsbury. 2004. (ISBN: 074757345x) Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7Â¾" - 9Â¾" tall. Beyond race, faith, politics, class, sex or age, football is the great global religion. One of the most striking phenomena of the early 21st century is how the popularity of the game the British invented 150 years ago has exploded, attracting millions of new devotees. Women everywhere are flocking to the game, as are the hitherto pagan peoples of China, Japan and the United States. At the epicenter of this vast but benevolent explosion are David Beckham and the club he joined in 2003, Real Madrid. No athlete in the world - and maybe no single individual - provokes more widespread fascination than the Londoner with the film-star looks. No sports team anywhere exudes more glamour, has won more competitions or possesses a more dazzling collection of superstars than Real Madrid. The fusion of the two has gripped the attention of literally millions of people, changing the face of the world's favourite sport, marking a clear divide between what came before and what will come after; between the Old Football and the New. "White Angels" looks at how David Beckham's transfer took place, the machinations and intrigue behind the deal. It exhaustively details Beckham's first year at Real, and how he fared on the field itself alongside the such global stars as Figo, Zidane, Carlos, Raul and Ronaldo. John Carlin, currently a Spanish resident, has been a foreign correspondent for many British newspapers. A football fanatic, he covered the World Cup in 2002 for the "Observer" and "el Pais". In the writing of this book he has had unprecedented access to the Real Madrid team traveling with them to matches, conducting extensive interviews with the players, its manager Jorge Valdano and its charismatic and driven chairman Florentino Perez.
