Sinopse

Most Watched Matches explores the history of sports through the lens of its most viewed events, revealing how these contests transcend mere games to become cultural phenomena. The book examines the social, political, and economic factors that contribute to the global appeal of events like the FIFA World Cup Final, the Super Bowl, and the Olympics. By analyzing the evolution of sports viewership from radio broadcasts to streaming, the book uncovers the reasons behind the enduring appeal of these iconic sporting events. The book argues that these matches reflect societal values, national pride, and evolving media landscapes, providing unique insights into global dynamics. For instance, the book highlights how advancements in broadcast technology have drastically expanded viewership, and how these events serve as mirrors reflecting societal values.

 
Structured in three parts, the book introduces peak viewership, presents case studies analyzing historical context and viewership figures, and then connects these landmark events, drawing conclusions about sports' role in shaping global culture. With a blend of data analysis and accessible storytelling, Most Watched Matches offers a fresh perspective on the cultural significance of sports. This book moves beyond game highlights to explore the deeper impact of sports on global culture, making it a valuable resource for sports enthusiasts, media scholars, and anyone interested in the intersection of sports, history, and society.

    North to Boston - Life Histories...

    Between World War II and 1980, tens of thousands of Black people moved to Boston from the South as part of the Great Migration, one of the most consequential mass movements of people in American history. Black migration from the South transformed the city, as it did urban areas across the country. North to Boston is the first book to examine that important subject. 
     
     
     
    Blake Gumprecht traces the history of this migration and explores its impacts in greater depth through the lives of ten individuals, each the subject of one chapter. Those chapters are short biographies based on extensive interviews by the author and are told in an engaging style that reflects the author's background as a journalist. 
     
     
     
    The ten people featured came from six southern states. They fled racism, limited opportunity, and hopelessness, and moved north in pursuit of better jobs, equal treatment, and greater freedom. They settled in neighborhoods such as Roxbury, Dorchester, and Mattapan. They worked as teachers, factory workers, welders, and security guards. Their stories are emblematic of the experiences of Black people everywhere who left the South, and provide a rare glimpse into the lives of ordinary people living in one city's Black community.

    Inside the Dyslexic Mind - A...

    Laughton King shares his understanding of the dyslexic mind from his own lived experience as a dyslexic child, an angry adolescent, a therapist and eventually an author. When describing what it is like to be dyslexic, he is includes himself. ‘We think in pictures, we chase words around the pages of books, and we have trouble finding any sensible connection between squiggles on paper and real things they are meant to refer to. And this all happens in perpetual reverse gear. You guessed it, for us, school is not cool, and for most of us this makes life tough’ 
    At the heart of this book is a ground-breaking concept — the diesel/petrol analogy. As Laughton describes it, a dyslexic person is like a diesel vehicle. They run perfectly if you give them the right fuel, but if you put petrol in the tank (i.e. expect them to learn like every ’normal’ child in our current education system) they break down. This book helps dyslexic (diesel) thinkers make sense of their lives, and provides valuable guidance for parents and teachers. 
    There is nothing wrong with the dyslexic child’s brain. They do not need medication and do not need to be ‘rewired’ nor ‘recalibrated’. Laughton’s message to parents and educators is that once they accept this processing difference and understand the dyslexic style of thinking they can readily work with these children and help them achieve their own success.
