Book excerpt: "In preparing this little work, it has been a principal part of my object to serve the cause of physical education by directing the attention of young persons to sports of a healthful and invigorating tendency. " --Robin Carver, Preface, 1834 The Book of Sports (1834), by ROBIN CARVER, also known as the Carver Book, is an American classic. It contains 15 short chapters describing the rules of popular games such as "Hide and Seek," "Cricket," "Prisoner's Base," "Leap-Frog," "Trial of the Thumb," and "Snow-Balling." Moreover, it offers the first description of how to play baseball--"Base or Goal Ball"--in Chapter Three. In his Preface, Carver credits The Boy's Own Book, an English book which he used as a source for some of his materials (also available from Cosimo Classics). The Book of Sports is a fascinating memento of times gone by, but also of the foundation of America's pastime, baseball, illustrated with numerous wood-engravings.

Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs.

Download or read book Understanding American Sports written by Gerald R. Gems and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-09-10 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the nineteenth century the USA has served as an international model for business, lifestyle and sporting success. Yet whilst the language of sport seems to be universal, American sports culture remains highly distinctive. Why is this so? How should we understand American sport? What can we learn about America by analyzing its sports culture? Understanding American Sports offers discussion and critical analysis of the everyday sporting and leisure activities of ‘ordinary’ Americans as well as the ‘big three’ (football, baseball, basketball), and elite sports heroes. Throughout the book, the development of American sport is linked to political, social, gender and economic issues, as well as the orientations and cultures of the multilayered American society with its manifold regional, ethnic, social, and gendered diversities. Topics covered include: American college sports the influence of immigrant populations the unique status of American football the emergence of women’s sport in the USA With co-authors from either side of the Atlantic, Understanding American Sports uses both the outsider’s perspective and that of the insider to explain American sports culture. With its extensive use of examples and illustrations, this is an engrossing and informative resource for all students of sports studies and American culture.
