His Father's Son
by Tom CallahanEver since he was a two-year-old golf prodigy, Eldrick ‘Tiger’ Woods has often been viewed less as a human being and more as a ball-striking machine – and his carefully guarded image and emotionless persona seemed to guarantee that it would remain that way. Even after his recent bombshell adultery scandal, the public still knows very little about the man behind the golf clubs and multimillion-dollar endorsement deals. But one thing is certain: Earl Woods, Tiger’s beloved and now deceased father, knew him better and influenced his life more than anyone. To know the father is to know the son. With unparalleled insight into the man who made Tiger Woods the person that he is, His Father’s Son is both a detailed biography and a touching story of an intense father-and-son relationship.

An honest, one-of-a-kind look at politics, hypocrites, political correctness, the past, the present, Hollywood, money, and athletes, this is a sports fan's dream book.

Primer campeón de América, primer americano campeón del mundo, Peñarol acumula títulos y glorias en Uruguay y en el planeta. Sus futbolistas han forjado con coraje y talento cientos de leyendas a lo largo de más de cien años de historia, lo que ha hecho que el club despierte un amor incondicional y una pasión fulgurante en la mitad de los habitantes de un país de tres millones, los mismos que se declaran orgullosamente manyas, carboneros, mirasoles, peñarolenses. Desde el origen del club, pasando por sus grandes momentos y sus más representativos jugadores, esta edición llega hasta 2015 y dedica el capítulo final a la construcción e inauguración de su estadio. «Esta nueva versión de la Historia de Peñarol ha sido condensada y actualizada respecto a las dos anteriores ediciones(2004 y 2011). Sin perder nada de lo fundamental, ha sido aliviada de ciertas expansiones del relato, sobre todo expresadas en notas al pie o datos estadísticos y detalles de los cientos y cientos de partidos jugados por el Club a lo largo de sus casi 125 años de vida. Confío en que estos cambios faciliten su lectura». Luciano Álvarez

Historicizing the Pan-American Games (Sport in the Global Society - Historical Perspectives)
by Bruce Kidd and Cesar R. TorresThe Pan-American Games, begun officially in 1951 in Buenos Aires and held in every region of the western hemisphere, have become one of the largest multi-sport games in the world. 6,132 athletes from 41 countries competed in 48 sports in the 2015 Games in Toronto, Canada. The Games are simultaneously an avenue for the spread of the Olympic Movement across the Americas, a stage for competing ideologies of Pan-American unity, and an occasion for host city infrastructural stimulus and economic development. And yet until this volume, the Games have never been studied as a single entity from a scholarly viewpoint. Historicizing the Pan-American Games presents 12 original articles on the Games. Topics range from the origins of the Games in the period between the world wars, to their urban, hemispheric and cultural legacies, to the policy implications of specific Games for international sport. The entire collection is set against the shifting economic, social, political, cultural, sporting and artistic contexts of the turbulent western hemisphere. Historicizing the Pan-American Games makes a significant contribution to the literature on major games, Olympic sport and sport in the western hemisphere. This book was previously published as a special issue of The International Journal of the History of Sport.
