Download or read book No Game for Boys to Play written by Kathleen Bachynski and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2019-11-25 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the untimely deaths of young athletes to chronic disease among retired players, roiling debates over tackle football have profound implications for more than one million American boys—some as young as five years old—who play the sport every year. In this book, Kathleen Bachynski offers the first history of youth tackle football and debates over its safety. In the postwar United States, high school football was celebrated as a "moral" sport for young boys, one that promised and celebrated the creation of the honorable male citizen. Even so, Bachynski shows that throughout the twentieth century, coaches, sports equipment manufacturers, and even doctors were more concerned with "saving the game" than young boys' safety—even though injuries ranged from concussions and broken bones to paralysis and death. By exploring sport, masculinity, and citizenship, Bachynski uncovers the cultural priorities other than child health that made a collision sport the most popular high school game for American boys. These deep-rooted beliefs continue to shape the safety debate and the possible future of youth tackle football.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Game on Boys 2 is for kids who love playing computer games and who like reading Wimpy Kid books. Rino James is mad about Minecraft, crazy over Xbox, and obsessed with the PlayStation. There's only one thing in this whole world that could make his life better (apart from sending his annoying sister back to the baby making farm), and it has nothing to do with computer games. But unfortunately, his Mom has a built in message system to detonate disaster every time things are going great for him. In the second of the Game on Boys series, what starts off as an awesome week with plenty of gaming promise, soon turns sour when a new teacher, obsessed with running, replaces Mr Higginbottom, and an All-night gaming marathon party, is replaced with a catastrophic family trip that makes the Wimpy kids 'long haul' look like a limo ride to Disneyland. What happens at the end of the weekend is devastating and miraculous all in one. The main question on everyone's mind is 'does Rino live to fight another zombie?'Both girls and boys will love this humorous book with funny illustrations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Game Boy Encyclopedia is the sixth book in Scottish author and journalist Chris Scullions critically-acclaimed series of video game encyclopedias. There are few video game systems as iconic and important as the Nintendo Game Boy. Released in 1989, the handhelds humble green-tinted display allowed for a low-cost portable console that won over players where it mattered most: the quality of its games. From huge early successes like the iconic Tetris and Super Mario Land to its revival years later with the groundbreaking Pokémon games, the Game Boy stands proudly as one of the greatest gaming systems ever. Its 1998 successor, the Game Boy Color, addressed the one main weak spot in the Game Boys armor and offered full-color games. Combined, nearly 120 million Game Boy and Game Boy Color handhelds were sold worldwide, with both models playing a huge role in so many childhoods (and adulthoods). This book contains every game released in the west for both handhelds: around 580 on the Game Boy and around 560 on the Game Boy Color. With around 1,150 games covered in total, screenshots and trivia factoids for every single title and a light-hearted writing style designed for an informative but entertaining read, The Game Boy Encyclopedia is the definitive guide to a legendary gaming platform.
