How do people become involved in sports? What can their experiences teach us? These are two of the many questions asked by this unique collection of personal stories of people involved in sport. Told by researchers who have interviewed participants and observed what happens in the setting where people play sports, the contributions not only show how sport studies contribute to the wider study of society, but also describe the difficulties and challenges faced when doing research of this kind. Inside Sports is divided into four main sections reflecting the social processes and developments over time that make up the experience of sport for most people, however diverse their circumstances may otherwise be: * Early experiences: being introduced to sports * Experience and identity: becoming an athlete * Deep in the experience: doing sports * Transition experiences: facing life beyond the playing field. In its extensive coverage of the sporting experience from within, as well as its discussion of research methods, Inside Sports will be essential reading for all students studying sport in society.

There's No Ham in Hamburgers has all the ingredients for an
entertaining and educational middle-grade read. Packed with

fabulously funny illustrations by Peter Donnelly, this book is a

People have been inventing drinks for thousands of years. Kinda
weird when you consider that humans only need two liquids to
survive-water and milk-and we don't need milk once we can eat solid
foods. So, why did humans, unlike other mammals, begin concocting
new beverages? It likely started with safety-boiling water to make
it safer to drink, and then adding in berries or leaves or roots to
make it taste better. Sometimes, it was thought that enhancing
drinks made them healthier (i.e. bubbly water restored vitality).
Did you know that some of the most popular sodas were created by
pharmacists? Americans spend approximately $150 billion on soft
drinks, coffee, and tea each year. Why? This book offers some
possible answers!

This first collection by a young prize-winning poet is well-named:
Photons sheds fresh light on a wide spectrum of human experience in
verses of striking originality and technical assurance that look
back to John Donne and his contemporaries, and engage with the
spirits of Modernism. The volume includes a fine translation of a
Canto from Inferno that renders Dante's bleak, dramatic vision
alive in contemporary English that remains true to the spirit and
form of the original Italian. In all, Photons fulfils the Romantic
ambition for poetry to illuminate the ordinary and celebrate the
wonder of the everyday.
