'Magnificent . . . Goldblatt is the doyen of sports historians and
brings to this account his forensic and telling eye for detail'
Mail on Sunday
The epic exploration of society, politics, and economics in the
twenty-first century through the prism of football, by the critically
acclaimed author of The Ball is Round.
'David Goldblatt is not merely the best football historian writing
today, he is possibly the best there has ever been'
Dominic Sandbrook, Sunday Times
In the twenty-first century football is first. First among sports
themselves, but it now commands the allegiance, interest and engagement
of more people in more places than any other phenomenon. In the three
most populous nations on the earth – China, India and the United States
where just twenty years ago football existed on the periphery of
society – it has now arrived for good. Nations, peoples and
neighbourhoods across the globe imagine and invent themselves through
playing and following the game.
In The Age of Football, David Goldblatt charts football’s global
cultural ascent, its economic transformation and deep politicisation,
taking in prison football in Uganda and amputee football in Angola, the
role of football fans in the Arab Spring, the footballing presidencies
of Bolivia’s Evo Morales and Turkey’s Recep Erdogan, China’s declared
intention to both host and win the World Cup by 2050, and the FIFA
corruption scandal.
Following the intersection of the game with money, power and identity,
like no previous sports historian, Goldblatt’s sweeping story is
remarkable in its scope, breathtaking in its depth of knowledge, and is
a brilliantly original perspective of the twenty-first century. It is
the account of how football has come to define every facet of our
social, economic and cultural lives and at what cost, shaping who we
think we are and who we want to be.
The Saltmarsh Coast is 75 miles of largely undiscovered Essex,
stretching from Stow Maries in the south to Salcott in the north,
with some wonderful walking on the top of the sea walls amid some
marvellous scenery. Mixed in with the salty air and cries of sea
birds are hundreds of years of rich and absorbing Essex history and
distant echoes of the people who made this such a fascinating area.
This, then, is the Saltmarsh Coast.

San Diego County has nearly 75 miles of picturesque coastline on
the mighty Pacific Ocean, and for decades, San Diego has boasted of
producing some of the worldA[a¬a[s finest surfers. But here surfing
is more
than a sportA[a¬ait is a Southern California lifestyleA[a¬aand as
such has heavily influenced the beach towns throughout the county.
Much research points to surfing having come to Southern California
in 1907,
and it may have taken hold in San Diego as early as 1910. Join with
us in this wonderful pictorial journey through San DiegoA[a¬a[s
little-known surfing past.
"As departments...scramble to decolonize their curriculum, Givens
illuminates a longstanding counter-canon in predominantly black
schools and colleges." -Boston Review "Informative and
inspiring...An homage to the achievement of an often-forgotten
racial pioneer." -Glenn C. Altschuler, Florida Courier "A
long-overdue labor of love and analysis...that would make Woodson,
the ever-rigorous teacher, proud." -Randal Maurice Jelks, Los
Angeles Review of Books "Fascinating, and groundbreaking. Givens
restores Carter G. Woodson, one of the most important educators and
intellectuals of the twentieth century, to his rightful place
alongside figures like W. E. B. Du Bois and Ida B. Wells." -Imani
Perry, author of May We Forever Stand: A History of the Black
National Anthem Black education was subversive from its inception.
African Americans pursued education through clandestine means,
often in defiance of law and custom, even under threat of violence.
They developed what Jarvis Givens calls a tradition of "fugitive
pedagogy"-a theory and practice of Black education epitomized by
Carter G. Woodson-groundbreaking historian, founder of Black
History Month, and legendary educator under Jim Crow. Givens shows
that Woodson succeeded because of the world of Black teachers to
which he belonged. Fugitive Pedagogy chronicles his ambitious
efforts to fight what he called the "mis-education of the Negro" by
helping teachers and students to see themselves and their mission
as set apart from an anti-Black world. Teachers, students,
families, and communities worked together, using Woodson's
materials and methods as they fought for power in schools. Forged
in slavery and honed under Jim Crow, the vision of the Black
experience Woodson articulated so passionately and effectively
remains essential for teachers and students today.
Here is the history of how exciting and innovative environmental
education has been provided by the Countryside Education Trust for

residential centre, a study centre in beautiful ancient woodland,
or taken part in a range of countryside activities.

An unfortunate consequence of the restructuring of teacher
education in South Africa over the past 15 years has been the
virtual disappearance of history of education from tertiary
programmes and a corresponding decline in the number of
publications on the subject. But this is now changing; especially
in postgraduate courses. A history of schooling in South Africa:
method and context provides a perspective on the development of
schooling for all of South Africa's diverse population groups, from
pre-colonial times to present day, in as much detail as is possible
in a single volume.
South Carolina has been home to good, old-fashioned barbeque for
quite a long time. Hundreds of restaurants, stands and food trucks
sell tons of the southern staple every day. But the history of
Palmetto State barbeque goes deeper than many might believe--it
predates the rest of America. Native Americans barbequed pork on
makeshift grills as far back as the 1500s after the Spanish
introduced the pig into the Americas. Since the early 1920s, South
Carolinians have been perfecting the craft and producing some of
the best-tastin' 'que in the country. Join author and president of
the South Carolina Barbeque Association Lake E. High Jr. as he
traces the delectable history from its pre-colonial roots to a
thriving modern-day tradition that fuels an endless debate over
where to find the best plate.
David Moore's book chronicles how the momentous season unfolded,
match by match, week by week, starting with the successful
pre-season tour of Germany and Holland right up to the famous
encounter with Liverpool. It is a story of a triumphant season as
Derby County were crowned champions of England for the first time.
It was the Rams' seventy-second in League football, forty-five of
which had been played in the top flight and Brian Clough's tiny
squad of first team players had to finish above the likes of Don
Revie's formidable Leeds United and Bill Shankly's outstanding
Liverpool side to win the title. David Moore's book chronicles how
the momentous season unfolded, match by match, week by week,
starting with the successful pre-season tour of Germany and Holland
right up to the famous encounter with Liverpool at the beginning of
May which was followed seven days later by the nail-biting climax
when Leeds and Liverpool failed to secure the points needed to deny
Derby the title they richly deserved. Clough and Taylor also found
time to mastermind victory in the Texaco Cup, but a promising run
in the FA Cup came to a dramatic end in a 5th Round second replay
against double holders Arsenal at Leicester City's Filbert Street
in March. To round off a memorable season Derby's reserve side won
the Central League. David's book records the Rams' exploits in
those competitions too.
