Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A brilliant and entertaining deconstruction of the most popular sport in the world from the bestselling author of How to Watch Basketball Like a GeniusAfter reading this fun book, you'll never look at soccer the same way again.In How to Watch Soccer Like a Genius, Nick Greene calls on a turf manager, an expert on color theory, and a landscape historian to understand the field itself, a paleoanthropologist to talk kicking, and an Anglican priest to explain schisms-how American football, soccer, and rugby could all develop from the field games of rowdy 19th-century British schoolboys.Greene delves deep into what defines the game, how it developed, and what happens during a match's 90 minutes (and then some). His expert commentators include a domino toppler, a developmental neuroscientist, an art historian, a civil engineer, and more.Along the way, Greene reveals how understanding the hidden logic of the game-from the science of a perfect kick to the design of the pitch-can transform the way you watch, making every pass, play, and decision more meaningful. Whether you're a lifelong fan or new to the sport, this is a book that deepens your appreciation of what's happening on the field and why it matters.On the surface, soccer seems like the simplest of games: one ball, two teams, two goals, and (preferably) some grass. There's a reason it's the first team sport little kids learn to play. But the closer you look, the more you dig into the game's history, the more infinitely complex and complex the picture becomes.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A sweeping cultural history of the dancing that defined New York CityThroughout the twentieth century, in theaters, ballrooms, and nightclubs, dancers blazed trails of resistance and revolution. From the exuberant endurance of dance marathons during Prohibition to the militant precision of the Rockettes through WWII and the strait-laced fifties; from the aloof abstraction of the Judson Dance Theater to the explosive energy of hip hop in the South Bronx; from the elated mingling of discos to the commercialized physicality of Broadway, dance was both a reflection of culture and a backbone for social change.In charting the stories and interconnected histories of these different dances, Nonstop Bodies: How Dance Shaped New York City reveals how each was fundamentally shaped by the social and historical forces of the time, as movements rumbling through the rest of the country came to a head in the singular density and diversity of New York City.The iconic contractions of Martha Graham share a lineage with the West African dances being transported to New York stages by Katherine Dunham; the innovations of George Balanchine took inspiration from the acrobatic feats of the Nicholas Brothers and other dancers honing their skills in Harlem's ballrooms; the evolutions in partnered dancing at the Palladium found their way into the Broadway choreography of Jerome Robbins while preceding the individualized revelries of the disco.Writer Rennie McDougall argues not only that dance can act as a mirror to the larger narratives of New York and the nation, but that the city itself has proven uniquely capable of creating innovations in how we move and dance together. Nonstop Bodies is more than a history-it is an exploration of movement that captures the ways in which dance has acted as both a catalyst and reflection of the city's culture, politics, and heart.…
