Sinopsis

Crazy Sports Rules explores the fascinating and often bizarre regulations that have shaped the world of sports, examining how these rules, intended to ensure fairness, have sometimes led to unexpected outcomes. The book argues that sports rules are not static but rather the result of historical events, social biases, and the constant push and pull between tradition and innovation. For example, some rules originated from specific historical contexts, while others were created to prevent cheating. The book delves into the evolution of these rules, providing a unique lens through which to view the history of sports and society. It is structured around three central themes: rules originating from historical contexts, rules designed to prevent cheating, and rules that seem illogical. Readers will discover that rules intended to create fairness and ensure safety have, at times, resulted in bizarre situations and unexpected outcomes.

 
What sets this book apart is its focus on the human element behind the regulations. It's not just a recitation of rules; it's a narrative about the people who created, enforced, and challenged these regulations, and the impact those decisions had on the sports themselves. The book progresses across chapters by investigating rules originating from specific historical contexts, exploring rules designed to prevent cheating, and examining rules that seem illogical or contradictory.

Thieves Liars and Mountaineers -...

Mark Horrell

This is the tale of Mark Horrell’s not-so-nearly ascent of Gasherbrum in Pakistan, of how one man’s boredom and frustration was conquered by a gutsy combination of exhaustion, cowardice, and sheer mountaineering incompetence. 
He made not one, not two, but three intrepid assaults, some of which got quite a distance beyond Base Camp, and overcame many perilous circumstances along the way. The mountaineer Joe Simpson famously crawled for three days with a broken leg, but did he ever have to read Angels and Demons by Dan Brown while waiting for a weather window? 
But that’s enough about Mark’s attempt; there were some talented climbers on the mountain as well, and this story is also about them. How did they get on? Heroes, villains, oddballs and madmen – 8,000m peaks attract them all, and drama, intrigue and cock-ups aplenty were inevitable.
