Beschreibung

Historic Sports Bans explores the controversial world of athlete suspensions, revealing how these decisions shape sports history. The book delves into cases arising from performance enhancement, ethical misconduct, and political defiance, illustrating how sports bans reflect broader societal values and power struggles.

 
Did you know that bans related to doping violations have sparked debates about fair play, and political defiance has led to athletes being sidelined for expressing their views? The book examines landmark cases and specific categories of bans across different sports, drawing on primary sources and investigative reports. Ethical violations, for example, highlight the moral complexities within sports.

 
It unfolds in three parts: introducing core issues, dissecting specific ban categories like doping in cycling or political suspensions in the Olympics, and analyzing long-term consequences while considering reforms. This comprehensive analysis offers a nuanced perspective on the motivations and consequences behind sports bans, making it valuable for anyone interested in the intersection of sports, ethics, and power.

 
By exploring sports regulations, sports governance, and anti-doping policies, the book encourages critical examination of these complex issues and their impact on athletes and the integrity of competition.

    A refreshing memoir of battles and self-belief from one of the NHL's most revered enforcers 
     
     
     
    Shawn Thornton was an unlikely NHL success, to say the least. The Oshawa, Ontario, native was picked late in the OHL and later thought he was being pranked when the Toronto Maple Leafs called him to say he'd been selected in the seventh round of the 1997 NHL draft. 
     
     
     
    After years spent working and maturing in the AHL, Thornton would go on to play fourteen seasons with the Chicago Blackhawks, Anaheim Ducks, Boston Bruins, and Florida Panthers, winning two Stanley Cups along the way. 
     
     
     
    For the first time, in this candid memoir, Thornton opens up about his life in hockey and beyond, from his early days as an unrated prospect to the leadership lessons he learned in the minors, from the most difficult on-ice brawls to the ecstasy of reaching the sport's most celestial heights. 
     
     
     
    Fans will not want to miss this story of perseverance and finding one's own path.

    Sports Phone set out to change the way scores and breaking news were consumed, and in turn ended up setting the tone for the up-to-the-second updates we take for granted today. Found among those who called the service home are some of the most well-known broadcasters, reporters, public address announcers, and other prominent media figures — as well as several who’ve been successful in Hollywood and the music industry. A veritable breeding ground for these now-polished professionals, the dial-up platform that once handled 50 million calls in a year churned out talent at a level likely not seen before or since. 
    Brought to you by media veterans Scott Orgera and Sports Phone alum Howie Karpin, 976-1313: How Sports Phone Launched Careers and Broke New Ground features never-before-told tales of triumph and tragedy, a mix of hilarity, inspiration, and regret from the broadcasting hopefuls and sports junkies that comprised the brains and voices behind the pioneering operation. If you were assembling an All-Star team of media personnel, you’d only have to look as far as Sports Phone’s ranks. 
    As colorful as that cast of characters was, those who dialed 976-1313 regularly had their own yarns to spin. They form a tapestry of hardcore fans, award-winning actors, well-known comedians, impulsive gamblers, Broadway singers, and infamous mobsters, each with captivating stories told within these pages. 
    With 75 years of collective experience between them, Karpin and Orgera interviewed more than a hundred people en route to creating what is a must-read. 
    Much of what we see and hear today was started by Sports Phone, and this tome covers untapped historical territory from every angle, kicked off with a compelling foreword written by revered broadcaster Kenny Albert.

    "A rollicking ride back to the roots of stock car racing in the Midwest." —Journal of American Culture 
     
     
     
    Named by BookAuthority one of the 22 Best Motorsport eBooks of All Time 
     
     
     
    Chosen by the American Auto Racing Writers and Broadcasters Association as the second best motorsport book published in 2013 
     
     
     
    Who won the first Daytona 500? Fans still debate whether it was midwestern champion Johnny Beauchamp, declared the victor at the finish line, or longtime NASCAR driver Lee Petty, declared the official winner a few days after the race. Author John Havick interviewed scores of people, analyzed film of the race, and pored over newspaper accounts of the event. He uses this information and his deep knowledge of the sport as it worked then to determine what probably happened. But he also tells a much bigger story: the story of how Johnny Beauchamp—and his Harlan, Iowa, compatriots, Dale Swanson and Tiny Lund—ended up in Florida driving in the 1959 Daytona race. 
     
     
     
    The Ghosts of NASCAR details how the Harlan Boys turned to racing cars to have fun and to escape the limited opportunities for poor boys in rural southwestern Iowa. As auto racing became more popular in the 1950s, Swanson, Lund, and Beauchamp battled dozens of rivals and came to dominate the sport in the Midwest. By the later part of the decade, the three men were ready to take on the competition in the South's growing NASCAR circuit. One of the top mechanics of the day, Swanson literally wrote the book on race cars at Chevrolet's clandestine racing shop in Atlanta, Georgia, while Beauchamp and Lund proved themselves worthy competitors. It all came to a head on the brand-new Daytona track in 1959.

    There is No Finish introduces the exploding world of the Backyard Ultra. Birthed from the high school musings of Lazarus Lake, renowned for the Barkley Marathons, the running event has spread globally—to over eighty countries— with sky-rocketing numbers. 
    Runners have up to one hour to complete a 4.1-mile lap. At the start of the next hour, again they attempt to complete the same lap. The race keeps going, with no finish, until all except one person gives up. The winner is the last one standing who does one lap more than anyone else. 
    With participants running until they drop, every race becomes an enthralling adventure with epic stories. Stephen Parker dives deep into the Backyard Ultra scene, running events, crewing for others, and exploring its amazing history. With races in Belgium, the USA, Australia, Sweden, Canada, Finland, South Africa, and many more, the book shares the agony and adrenaline of battles between colourful characters in stunning settings. 
    If there is no finish, how far can you run?
