Summary

Gameplay Rules offers a fascinating exploration of how rules shape the world of sports and games, examining the intricate relationships between regulations, player behavior, and competitive dynamics. The book delves into the universal patterns found in game rules across different sports, revealing how these frameworks evolved from simple guidelines into sophisticated systems that govern modern competition.

 
Through a blend of historical analysis, behavioral psychology, and game theory, readers discover why sports as diverse as basketball and cricket share common regulatory principles. The text progresses through three major sections, beginning with the fundamental principles of rule creation, moving to an analysis of how regulations influence player strategy, and concluding with an examination of rule modification processes.

 
Drawing from extensive research, including interviews with officials and statistical analyses, the book presents compelling insights into how rules have adapted to address safety concerns, ensure fair play, and maintain competitive balance. Historical examples demonstrate the fascinating evolution of sports regulations, from ancient games to today's technology-influenced officiating systems.

 
What sets this comprehensive work apart is its interdisciplinary approach, connecting sports regulation to legal systems, psychology, and economics. Written for sports administrators, coaches, and analysts, the book provides practical applications while maintaining scholarly rigor. By examining both professional and amateur sports, it offers valuable insights into how rule systems can be effectively created and modified while preserving the integrity of the game.

 
The author's objective presentation of controversial rule changes allows readers to form their own informed conclusions about the future of sports regulation.

    I Should Have Left the Whiskey is the first book in the Rambling On trilogy – compelling tales from a time when motorcycles were left in the shed and global exploration slowed to the pace of cycling. 
These diaries divulge two very different journeys in Asia: because progressing into enlightened India required some back-pedalling through darkest Thailand en route to China. 
After impulsively purchasing a bicycle in Bangkok and taking to the frantic city streets, Graham was hit by the realisation that life in the fast lane could have an impact on his health. 
Pedalling away from the madding crowd, he hauled his heavy load to mountain settlements lost somewhere in time. Desperate and dehydrated, he was subjected to all that the lonely road bestows upon the soul. 
It soon became apparent that whiskey was not the best choice of refreshment. However, he rebelliously refused to abandon the bottle or the mission, keeping his glassy eyes fully focused on what was ahead. 
A year later, having eliminated some of the heavier baggage from that journey, he found himself in southern India. Surely, this coast-hugging, palm-shaded backwater route would be a breeze … but the easy road is not always the right path. 
Had reckless decisions taken him beyond his abilities? With flashbacks, foresight and the riotous brutal honesty that is confined to a diary, all will be revealed. 
This audio book contains bonus outtakes from the recording sessions.

    A captivating and candid memoir from one of the most beloved and colorful figures in Toronto Blue Jays history
		 
Over 11 years and two separate managerial stints with the Toronto Blue Jays, John Gibbons endeared himself to fans with his folksy manner and his frequent battles with umpires: “Here comes Gibby!” Winning helped too. Under Gibbons’s management, the Jays made the American League Championship Series in 2015, ending a 22-year playoff drought; then they did it again in 2016. Along the way the team defied odds, won over a nation, and with one flip of a bat produced one of the most iconic moments in MLB history. Now, in his memoir, Gibby shares the story: an on-field career that didn’t pan out, but a managing career that did … eventually.
		 
Raised in a military family, he played his first competitive baseball in Newfoundland and Labrador, and, with the family now in San Antonio, Texas, Gibby, a catcher, developed into a first-round draft pick of the New York Mets. While Gibbons only played 18 major league games, he did earn a World Series ring as the 1986 Mets bullpen catcher and knew all the characters from that team, including Doc Gooden, Darryl Strawberry, Lenny Dykstra, and Gary Carter. In 1990, Gibby began his journey as a coach and manager. An old teammate, J.P. Ricciardi, hired him to work with the Jays, and he moved his way up the ranks and into the hearts of baseball fans.
