Games People Played is, surprisingly, the first global history of
sport. The book shows how sport has been practiced, experienced and
made meaningful by players and fans throughout history. It assesses
how sports developed and diffused across the globe, as well as many
other aspects, from emotion, discrimination and conviviality;
politics, nationalism and protest; and how economics has turned
sport into a huge consumer industry. It shows how sport is sociable
and health-giving, and also contributes to charity, however it also
examines its dark side: its impact on the environment, the use of
performance-enhancing drugs, and match fixing. Covering everything
from curling to baseball, boxing to motor racing, this book will
appeal to anyone who plays, watches and enjoys sport, and wants to
know more of its history and global impact.
