Sinossi

'Snooker Masters' delivers a comprehensive exploration of professional snooker's evolution, delving into the technical mastery, psychological resilience, and scientific principles that define the sport's elite competitors. From its humble beginnings in British officers' mess halls to today's high-stakes tournaments, the book reveals how champions like Joe Davis, who claimed 15 consecutive World Championships, helped establish the fundamental techniques that shape modern play.

 
The narrative unfolds across three distinctive sections, beginning with snooker's technical evolution from basic potting to sophisticated positional strategies. Through detailed case studies and expert analysis, readers gain insights into the mental fortitude required at the professional level, exemplified by legends Steve Davis and Stephen Hendry during their dominant periods in the 1980s and 1990s.

 
The book's final section examines contemporary developments in training methods and equipment technology, supported by statistical data from major championships and frame-by-frame tactical analyses. What sets this work apart is its multidisciplinary approach, connecting snooker to physics, psychology, and sports science through practical examples and real match situations.

 
Whether you're a competitive player seeking to improve your game or an enthusiast interested in the sport's technical depths, the book offers accessible explanations enhanced by detailed diagrams of break-building patterns and strategic play. This analytical yet approachable examination of snooker's professional era provides valuable insights for players, fans, and sports historians alike.

    Once described as the worst golfer never to have won a major, Mortimer Merriweather is a complex character with virtually nothing to show for 60 years of golf at the lowest level.
    Decades of abject failure to strike the ball properly undoubtedly fuelled his frustration and led ultimately to him venting his ire on individuals, companies and organisations connected with the game of golf in this remarkable series of 100 letters.
    The result is this hilarious book of his bizarre, insulting, unsettling and plain mad golfing ideas, all sent to famous hapless recipients, illustrated with occasional cartoons. 
    'Clive Agran is golf's funniest writer.' – John Hopkins, The Times

    In Fans Have More Friends, sports fans, dads, and data analysts David Sikorjak and Ben Valenta argue that fandom can not only increase our sense of belonging but also serves as a powerful antidote to loneliness because sports fans experience increased social connection. What they didn't realize was how deep that connection was, the potential it carried for individual and societal wellness, or the opportunities it offered for adult friendships, making and keeping friends, and family ties. 
     
     
     
    Their theory is simple: if we want to be less lonely, we need to belong to a community or something greater than ourselves. Over the course of two years, countless in-person interviews and rigorously designed surveys, Ben Valenta and David Sikorjak have the proof that being a fan can lead to: improved social connections; stronger community ties; enhanced well-being; a greater sense of belonging; and more friends. 
     
     
     
    The common thread in all of these personal stories is friendship, community, and belonging—a feeling research can't reveal as well as stories can. Fans Have More Friends will make you think differently about sports and reminds all of us of the essential animating quality of fandom: We're in this together. Sports is not always about what's happening on the field but what's happening in the stands.
