Sinossi

**The Mad Hatter: A Tale of Two Tar Heels** is the definitive account of the greatest rivalry in college basketball: Duke vs. North Carolina.

In this book, acclaimed sportswriter Pasquale De Marco takes readers on a wild ride through the history of this epic feud, from its humble beginnings in the early 1900s to its current status as one of the most intense and passionate rivalries in all of sports.

Pasquale De Marco has interviewed dozens of key figures in the rivalry, including legendary coaches, iconic players, and die-hard fans. He has also pored over hours of game footage and scoured through countless articles and books to provide a comprehensive and nuanced look at this complex and fascinating rivalry.

**The Mad Hatter** is more than just a sports book. It is also a social and cultural history of North Carolina, a state that is deeply divided by this rivalry. Pasquale De Marco explores the different ways that Tar Heels and Blue Devils fans express their passion for their teams, from the elaborate tailgating rituals to the heated debates that erupt in bars and living rooms across the state.

How to Catch a Cricket Match

Harry Ricketts

Rudyard Kipling called cricketers 'flannelled fools'. Groucho Marx asked halfway through a cricket match when it would begin. But despite the game's slow pace, strange language, eccentric umpires and frequent scandals – or perhaps because of them – cricket is one of the world's most loved sports. Indians, Australians, West Indians, Pakistanis, Sri Lankans, Zimbabweans, Bangladeshis and South Africans all claim it as their national game. In New Zealand, watching a match stirs strong emotions – so when cricket-obsessed writer Harry Ricketts and his Australian friend Tony take themselves to a test against the West Indies, things are bound to get lively.
