  Heavyweight - Black Boxers and...

  In Heavyweight, Jordana Moore Saggese examines images of Black heavyweight boxers to map the visual terrain of racist ideology in the United States, paying particular attention to the intersecting discourses of Blackness, masculinity, and sport. Looking closely at the "shadow archive" of portrayals across fine art, vernacular imagery, and public media at the turn of the twentieth century, she demonstrates how the images of boxers reveal the racist stereotypes implicit in them, many of which continue to structure ideas of Black men today. With a focus on both anonymous fighters and notorious champions, including Jack Johnson, Saggese contends that popular images of these men provided white spectators a way to render themselves experts on Blackness and Black masculinity. These images became the blueprint for white conceptions of the Black male body—existing between fear and fantasy, simultaneously an object of desire and an instrument of violence. Reframing boxing as yet another way whiteness establishes the violent mythology of its supremacy, Saggese highlights the role of imagery in normalizing a culture of anti-Blackness.

  Rugby Was F***ing Better When -...

  According to legend and a cursory look at Google, rugby was created in 1823. When William Webb Ellis allegedly picked up the ball, and ran with it, rugby was born. How true this is, we don't know. But what we can almost guarantee is that no matter how the game started, even after just one day of the sport being invented, some people will have said that it was better in the f***ing old days.
  As progressive as rugby has become (both on and off the field) many feel that rugby 'yesterday' was better than rugby today. But do the stats back this up? Do the ill-informed opinions of the book's author back that up? This book examines various aspects of the game, and judges whether rugby's best days are behind, or ahead of it.
  Let the debate commence . . .
  Hilarious, off-beat and (surprisingly) insightful, this is the perfect gift for rugby fans all around the world.

  The playground of sport..
  
  How does efficient, effective and sustainable training really work?
  Especially in this day and age, when resilience and the immune system play a greater role than ever before, the contrasts on this topic could not be wider. There are countless "experts" who promise the moon. In no other area are there more of them - except perhaps in politics.
  
  Are content and form out of balance?
  Hopes, dreams and desires are processed for marketing purposes and spread like wildfire via social media channels.
  Each training method is yet more effective and efficient than the previous one, while taking less time. Self-proclaimed "biohackers" and people who have reinvented physiology are making utopian promises.
  It seems that human physiology has changed proportionally with the development of the internet, at least if you believe these promises.
  Human physiology has evolved over millennia and will not change significantly in the next hundred years.
  This book is not a training manual, it is intended to encourage reflection, questioning and scrutiny - whether in health sports, ambitious hobby sports or competitive sports.
  What conditions should be created? What do the many terms buzzing around mean? How does it all really work?
  These connections and backgrounds are explained both clearly and logically in this book - why one thing works and another can't work.
  Understanding the "why" is one of the most important prerequisites for functional, effective and sustainable training.
  Many achievements and medals are the product of a series of coincidences, which are not all that rare - which is why many training systems persist.
  
  The knowledge about the application of biological measurement data for physical training has been around for almost half a century - only the knowledge about the correct application is still largely a mystery.
