An entertaining, anecdotal exploration of how the skills used in evaluating fantasy sports talent are one and the same with the skills we all use every day of our lives. The world of fantasy sports is no longer the purview of nerds and stat geeks. In fact, versions of the game are currently played by tens of millions of people worldwide. But while fantasy sports may have begun as a light-hearted diversion, to many of its participants winning or losing is no laughing matter.

نشجع الأطفال على ممارسة الرياضة كي نغرس فيهم فضائل مثل العمل الجماعي والمثابرة والانضباط، لكن في كثير من الأحيان تثير الرياضة مشكلات أخلاقية شائكة، وهو ما يتضح لنا من الفضائح المتواصلة التي تنقلها لنا عناوين الأخبار. فهل يهدد الجانب الفاسد من الرياضة قدرتها على غرس الفضائل الأخلاقية في حياتنا؟ وهل هذه الفضائل مؤكَّدة من الأساس؟ يقدم روبرت إل. سايمون في هذا الكتاب استقصاءً شاملاً وعميقاً لموضوعات واسعة النطاق تتراوح من أخلاقيات المنافسة، إلى تعاطي العقاقير واستخدام التقنيات المُعزِّزة للأداء، وصولاً إلى المساواة بين الجنسين. إنه كتاب مهمّ ينفذ إلى عمق أسئلة أخلاقيات الرياضة المعقدة، ويستكشف الصلة المنطقيـة بين الفعل الذي يقوم به الرياضيُّ في اللعبة والقواعد الموضوعة المنظمة لتلك اللعبة، ثم يربط الإجابات بالشواغل اليومية حيال القيم والعدالة واللعب النظيف.

From New York Times best-selling author Lars Anderson comes a revealing portrait of the first family of American sports. What the Kennedys are to politics, the Mannings are to football. Two generations have produced three NFL superstars: Archie Manning, the Ole Miss hero-turned-New Orleans Saint; his son Peyton, widely considered one of the greatest quarterbacks ever to play the game; and Peyton's younger brother, Eli, who won two Super Bowl rings of his own.

As Nazi Germany launched its campaign of racial terror and pushed the world toward war, three misfits banded together to challenge Hitler’s dominance at the apex of motorsport: the Grand Prix. Their quest for redemption culminated in a remarkable race that is still talked about in racing circles to this day - but which, soon after it ended, Hitler attempted to completely erase from history.

Acclaimed sports writers Jessica Luther and Kavitha A. Davidson tackle the most pressing issues in sports, why they matter, and how we can do better. For the authors, "sticking to sports" is not an option - not when our taxes are paying for the stadiums, and college athletes aren't getting paid at all. But simply quitting a favorite team won't change corrupt and deplorable practices, and the root causes of many of these problems are endemic in our wider society.

Jürgen Said to Me is a human-interest story centred around Liverpool FC's most successful and charismatic leader of recent times. It charts Jürgen Klopp's impact on Liverpool through the voice of the author and those at the heart of his revival. In October 2015, Klopp took the helm at Liverpool at a time when the famous club were entering a third decade of league-title drought. The German coach had prospered with his brand of 'heavy-metal football', but little was known about his personality beyond an obvious energy and charisma.

Michael Crawley immerses himself in various endurance cultures and asks what makes enduring together meaningful to people. He learns how Nepalese runners face different challenges depending on their location up a mountain, from those in the lowlands and ‘middle hills’ to Sherpas from the Solu Khumbu, and observes Tarahumara ultrarunners’ ability to cover extreme distances on highly technical terrain. But he also delves into the history of Dance Marathons, six-day pedestrianism races in Madison Square Gardens and the unique Enhanced Games.
