Manchester has the largest and most active consular corps in the country outside London, and this book represents the first ever detailed history of consuls and their activities for any region of the United Kingdom. Consuls look after the interests of foreign powers, and the first appointments in Manchester coincide with its emergence as the first city of the Industrial Revolution, and the financial and commercial hub of northern England. Virtually every country in the world, from Argentina to the former Yugoslavia, from the Ivory Coast to the Sandwich Islands, has provided consuls based in Manchester: no fewer than about 800 consuls have served in Manchester over the last 200 years. Some have been honorary consuls, others career diplomats; some have been nationals of the country they represent, others have been British, most with a personal association with the state they serve. Their responsibilities and privileges vary widely, and many have played a significant role in the life of the region. The new international context of a shrinking world gives the present role of consuls an increasing importance. In this important new book, David John Fox, himself a serving consul - for Chile - charts the fascinating, varied and, to many Mancunians, perhaps surprising role which these consuls and their missions have played in the wider history of the region.

"The Ball" takes us to the farthest reaches of the globe and the deepest recesses of our ancient past to answer a question asked by every child on Earth: Why do we play ball? Inspired by the curiosity of his sports-obsessed 8-year-old son, anthropologist John Fox sets off on a global adventure to explore the untold history of our favorite ball games, investigate their origins and evolutionary tracks, and discern how one of humanity's simplest inventions - the humble, ubiquitous ball - has staked an unrivaled claim on our history, our passions, our money, and our lives. From the jungles of Mexico to the farm country of Ohio, from the courts of the ancient Pharaohs to the virtual playing fields of Second Life, Rolling Heads and Pigskins puts us center court for the gritty, ritualistic, violent, bizarre, primal drama of ball games as we've played them across the centuries. Part history, part travelogue, and part sportscast, "The Ball" spins tales of the ball itself as actor and instigator, a player who taps our human urge to hit, kick, throw, and tackle. In the end, "The Ball" removes us from the scandals, corruption, and commercialism of today's sports to uncover the true reasons we play ball, helping us reclaim our fundamental human connection to the games we love.
