Cr�ticas

Well written, professional, reliable, excellent bibliographies. It is not surprising that a baseball book described as 'a textbook' should appear under the label of McFarland, whose baseball list is unequaled. This is a useful volume for anyone who wishes to embark on a serious examination of what has developed into a serious academic field. Recommended"--Choice.

Rese�a del editor

The study of baseball history and culture reveals the national game as a contested field where debates about sport, character, work and play, the country and the city, labor, race, and a host of other issues, circulate. Understanding baseball, then, calls for careful consideration of several different perspectives and what each contributes to the conversation. Intended as a readable textbook for undergraduates (and perhaps advanced high school students) and their instructors, Understanding Baseball is designed to offer insights and inroads into baseball history as a rewarding academic subject worthy of careful scholarly attention. Each chapter introduces a specific disciplinary approach to baseball - in this edition, history, economics, media, law, and fiction - and covers representative questions scholars from that academic field might consider.
