The first set of Laws is drafted, based mainly on the Cambridge University Rules . The purpose is to regulate English football under a single code of rules, but the rugby football clubs do not join because of the ball handling issue. Their attempt at compromise between the “dribbling” and “handling” codes is rejected by the dribblers and so rugby football becomes in time an entirely separate sport. The FA rules establish association football (aka football or “soccer”) as a distinct sport. item Apart from their main purpose of introducing standard rules of play and procedure, the Laws seek to differentiate between association football and rugby football. The essential difference in the two codes is encapsulated in Laws 9 and 11 which state that no (outfield) player shall run with the ball (in his hands) and that no (outfield) player shall throw the ball or pass it to another with his hands. The Laws will be amended later to clarify the situation at throw ins and during possession by goalkeepers but the FA is emphatic from the start that “hand ball” is illegal during normal play. item These Laws are originally known as the “London Rules” because they are only adopted by some London clubs and hardly anywhere else. Several clubs existed in Sheffield at the time and they played to the socalled Sheffield Rules . Gradually the FA, led by Charles Alcock , manages to persuade the clubs that a uniform set of rules is desirable and, after many adaptations and compromises, the FA rules eventually become standard. item The rejection of

A Life in Smoke: A Memoir $0.99 “I accepted the certainty of my untimely death with gallows humor and a calculator. I’d read somewhere that each cigarette you smoke knocks seven minutes off your time on the planet. To amuse myself, I did the math: 153,000 cigarettes = two years of my life, up in smoke.” Julia Hansen first lit up at nineteen. Twenty years later, she was editing books about health — and smoking a pack or two a day. She denied her son fast food, but smoked in the house and car; curtailed his video games, but lit up at his soccer matches. Despite repeated attempts to quit, she always crawled back to her beloved menthol lights. Smoking had become a metaphorical chain around her neck, shackling her to an early death. Haunted by a nightmarish vision of her future — her son at her deathbed, begging her not to leave him — Hansen devised a drastic quit method. She bought a 72-foot length of chain that was “unwieldy as a corpse” and locked herself to a radiator in her dining room. What followed: seven days of cold-turkey misery, comic absurdity, and revelation as Hansen stepped from behind her wall of smoke to face her addiction to nicotine — and some painful truths. Clanking around her house like Marley’s ghost, white-knuckling cravings, and struggling to understand tobacco’s unyielding grip on her, Hansen confronted her life in smoke: fractured relationships, lifelong battles with alcohol and depression, and a profound sense of emptiness. On day 1, the chain was her addiction to nicotine, each link a story about cigarettes and self-loathing. By day 7, it had revealed its ringing, rattling truth — that every smoker has a story, and it always centers on clinging to a comfort that can kill you. In the end, Hansen’s story was painfully simple: She smoked to survive her life. And then, to save it, she quit. Fierce and funny, honest and utterly absorbing, A Life in Smoke is Julia Hansen’s evocative and

Alive and Kicking: When Soccer Moms Take the Field and Change Their Lives Forever $12.72 The revolution began with the simple act of a mother kicking a ball to her daughter. An English soccer trainer noticed, and praised her form. “Too bad,” she replied, “there’s no soccer league for mothers.” Who could know that so many lives would change as a result of that simple exchange? In the suburban enclave of Montclair, New Jersey, as in so many communities around America, there was nothing new in the sight of mothers driving their minivans to soccer practice. What was new was that these women were driving to their own practices instead of dropping off their kids and watching from the sidelines. For the generation that grew up before Title IX’s mandate of equal athletic opportunity, the field of play was a male preserve; girls watched and cheered. The lessons that sports are supposed to teach — team spirit, overcoming adversity, playing to win without rancor or anger — were restricted to this young boys’ network; how could women help win the Battle of Waterloo when they’d been kept off the playing fields of Eton? The women of Montclair were mostly of that pre-Title IX generation, and many of them had never played competitive sports in their lives. In Alive and Kicking, Harvey Araton follows these women through their turbulent first two seasons. He turns his keen sportswriter’s eye onto the battles, both on the field and in the psyche, that these women wage as they try to play a sport without compromising their values. He also shows the divisions that wrack the league when a slightly younger generation gets involved in the games, a generation raised without ambivalence about beating an opponent, willing to take a dangerous chance for a winning goal, even if it means running over the woman in their way. But most of all he describes the women who gain in confidence and ambition, like one of the league’s pioneers, who finds the strength to leave a tired marriage, buoyed by her accomplishments on the field — as well as the few who find

Ally McCoist: Portrait of a Hero $15.95 A schoolboy prodigy, it was always clear that McCoist was destined for top flight soccer. At just 16 he signed his first professional contract with St. Johnstone, shooting to prominence in the 1980/81 season, scoring 22 league goals and playing a starrring role for the Scottish youth team. He was soon hot property. After two years of mixed fortunes at Sunderland, McCoist returned to Scotland and signed for his boyhood heroes Glasgow Rangers. Over the next 15 years, he established himself as arguably the greatest goal-scorer ever to play for the club. He not only gave heart and soul for Rangers but was also capped 61 times for Scotland. This authoritative and affectionate portrait of this much-loved sportsman charts the highs and lows of a fascinating career, culminating in McCoist reaching legendary status. It also looks at the events that helped to shape his life—overcoming homesickness when first playing for an English club, the effects his parents’ separation had on him, and how he coped when his young son had to undergo several life-saving operations. Having hung up his books, Ally’s vibrant personality made him a natural for the television screen. Now, however, he has come full circle and returned “home” to be assistant manager at his beloved Rangers. This wonderful book is a must-read for any soccer fan or indeed for anyone captivated by this larger-than-life character.

Argentine Football (Soccer) Rivalries: Supercl sico $9.91 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Superclásico is the name used to describe the football match in Argentina between Buenos Aires rivals Boca Juniors and River Plate. It derives from the Spanish usage of “clásico” to mean derby, with the prefix “super” used as the two clubs are the most popular and successful clubs in Argentine football. According to some statistics, commandeering more than 70% of all Argentine football fans between them, with Boca claiming 40% and River 32%. The Superclásico is known worldwide as one of the fiercest and most important derbies. In April 2004, the English newspaper The Observer put the Superclásico at the top of their list of “50 sporting things you must do before you die”, saying that “Derby day in Buenos Aires makes the Old Firm game look like a primary school kick-about.” The two clubs both have origins in La Boca, the working class dockland area of Buenos Aires, with River being founded in 1901 and Boca in 1905. However, River moved to the affluent district of Núñez in the north of the city in 1925. Since then Boca Juniors has been known as the club of Argentina’s working class or the people’s club, with many Boca fans coming from the local Italian immigrant community. Boca fans are actually known as Xeneizes (Genoese). By contrast, River Plate became known by the nickname, Los Millonarios (The Millionaires), with a supposedly upper-class support base. Both clubs do though have supporters from all social classes. The first ever recorded Superclásico was a friendly played on 2 August 1908, when Boca prevailed 2-1. The first official match was played on 24 August 1913, with River winning 2-1. The Superclásico is particularly noted for the passion of the fans, with what the BBC describe as “a sea of colourful flowing

Arise Sir David Beckham: The Biography of Britain’s Greatest Footballer $0.01 From the joyous screams of young girls to the chants of support from gruff-voiced soccer fans everywhere David Beckham goes, it is evident that he is famous both on and off the field, having reached iconic status across the world. Tracing the incredible accomplishments of this kind-hearted and talented star, this biography covers his early years playing for Manchester United’s first team at the age of 17, and the point at which he became a household name a few years later with a breathtaking goal against Wimbledon. Now, over a decade later, he is the fifth most-capped English player of all time and the only one to score in three different World Cups. Beckham’s achievements extend far beyond the soccer field—included here is his support for UNICEF since his early days at Manchester, his work as a goodwill ambassador for the charity, and the soccer academies he opened in Los Angeles and London. This inspiring story of an extremely talented and devoted man is a complete portrait of how English football’s golden boy—and new Major League Soccer Los Angeles Galaxy player—managed to take the world by storm.

Armenian History and the Question of Genocide $62 This book presents the Turkish position regarding the Armenian claims of genocide during World War I and the continuing debate over this issue. The author illustrates that although genocide is a useful concept to describe such evil events as the Jewish Holocaust in World War II and Rwanda in the 1990s, the term has also been overused, misused, and therefore trivialized by many different groups seeking to demonize their antagonists and win sympathetic approbation for them. This book includes the Armenians in this category because, although as many as 600,000 of them died during World War I, it was neither a premeditated policy perpetrated by the Ottoman Turkish government nor an event unilaterally implemented without cause. Of course, in no way does this excuse the horrible excesses that were committed. To illustrate this point, this book uses the recent work of the noted French scholar Jacques Semelin, and such long-suppressed Armenian personalities as Hovhannes Katchaznouni (the first prime minister of Armenia after WWI) and K.S. Papazian (an historian), among others. This book also illustrates how today Armenians have sought to politicize and legislate their version of history in parliamentary and other governmental bodies around the world, damning their opponents as genocide deniers and perpetrators of hate speech. The case of the renowned scholar Bernard Lewis is a prime example of this Armenian misuse and distortion of their politicized version of history. This book also analyzes the hypermobilized Armenian lobbying tactics that have achieved considerable success in politicizing their version of history. Among many other issues, this book also analyzes the recent “soccer diplomacy” between Turkey and Armenia, which has led to their signing treaties that will establish diplomatic relations between them and an historical commission to analyze their different versions of history

Ask Me Again Tomorrow: A Life in Progress $10.99 From her fame as the Oscar-winning actress who uttered the famous line in Moonstruck, “I know who I am,” to her lauded role as Mrs. Madrigal, the landlord of indeterminate gender in Tales of the City, to being the cousin of presidential candidate Michael Dukakis, Olympia Dukakis has captured the imagination of a broad audience. Known for her straightforward talk, her lack of pretension, and her ongoing quest to explore ever more aspects of herself and her art, she is a role model to women of all ages.Olympia Dukakis’s award-winning role in Moonstruck made her a household name, but before that overnight success came twenty-eight years of hard work. For nineteen of those years, she was an integral part of running the Whole Theatre Company in Montclair, New Jersey, while she and her husband raised their three children. She managed to “have it all” — career, family, home — before having it all became fashionable (even if she did root for the wrong team at her sons’ soccer games — “We’re in the blue shirts, Mom”). She also managed to care for her aging mother, who developed Alzheimer’s and moved into the family home, completing Olympia’s three-generation family.In Ask Me Again Tomorrow, this internationally renowned film and stage star reveals her struggle to assimilate as a first-generation Greek-American, her long alienation from her mother and how that finally resolved itself, her battles with addiction and her volatile personal relationships, and the efforts it took for her to overcome all of this and achieve excellence in her professional calling. A story told with honesty, humor, and the sincere desire to be shared, Ask Me Again Tomorrow is more than acelebrity memoir — it’s a book that will endure.During a career that has spanned more than forty years, Olympia Dukakis has worked as an actress, director, producer, teacher, and activist. She received an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, the New York Film Critics Award, the Los

Excerpt: William “Billy” Ronson (born 22 January, 1957 in Fleetwood, Lancashire) is a retired English footballer who spent twelve seasons in the English leagues, one in the North American Soccer League, six in the Major Indoor Soccer League and another seven years in a variety of lower division indoor and outdoor leagues in the United States. He also coached at the collegiate and professional levels. Ronson, the son of Fleetwood stalwart Percy Ronson, began his career at Blackpool, making his debut in March 1975 against Nottingham Forest. He originally struggled to break into the side but eventually managed to establish himself in the first team. In 1978, he went on loan to the Fort Lauderdale Strikers of the North American Soccer League. He was unable to prevent the club’s relegation during the 197778 season and spent one more year at the club before joining Cardiff City for a fee of £130,000, a club record at the time. He missed very few games in his two years at Ninian Park before growing disenchanted with the club’s lack of progress and leaving to join Wrexham. His only season at Wrexham ended in relegation, and he left to join Barnsley. He became popular at the Yorkshire club before falling out with manager Allan Clarke and being loaned to Birmingham City before being released and returning to Blackpool on non-contract terms. He moved to America in 1986 to join the Baltimore Blast of the Major Indoor Soccer League. He remained with the Blast for six seasons. The Blast collapsed at the end of the 1991-1992 season. In February 2009, the reconstituted Blast inducted Ronson into the team’s Hall of Fame. In June 1992, he signed with the Tampa Bay Rowdies of the American Professional Soccer League. In 1994, he joined the Baltimore Bays of the USISL. … More:

Not illustrated. Excerpt: Aurora Basket Jesi, also known for sponsorship reasons as Fileni Jesi is an Italian professional basketball team from the town of Jesi. In that far 1965, Gianni Rossetti (a RAI – National TV Network – journalist), Carlo Barchiesi (current president) and Primo Novelli (who used to be in charge of the junior teams) who set up Aurora Basket couldnt foresee such a successful future for their new born team. It was in those years that Springoil, the most important basketball team of the city at that time, was very close to move up to the A League (the highest division of Italian professional basketball), but it wound up due to economical problems. (This team was set up by Ottorino Apolloni and since he died, a pre-season game is held in his memory every year). Hence immediately there was the need to re-launch basketball in Jesi. The first step was taken by Roberto Vigo. Also Roberto Mancini, one of the most popular soccer players in Italy, used to play in the ground of his parish when he was a child. Roberto Vigo proposed to Gianni Rossetti to set up a basketball team inside the Aurora Group. This way Aurora Basket was officially set up by the managers Rossetti, Barchiesi and Novelli together with President Mario Gherardi. The first season 1965/1966 was in the first Regional division and the team moved up only three years later. The team experienced a slow growth in the first years, but then it started to grow gradually when other new managers and the first sponsors joined the team and when the junior teams were started. At the same time, the senior team became more and more successful and only after 10 years Aurora moved up to an important national division (called D division) in the 1973/74 season. Since then the team has alway… More:

Beckham: Both Feet on the Ground: An Autobiography $10.99 The Last Word on David BeckhamThere is only one David Beckham — and it’s not always the one you read about in the newspapers and magazines or see in the movies. From humble East End London beginnings, the boy with prodigious soccer skills grew up to be one of the most gifted athletes of his generation as well as a sex symbol and fashion icon. Along the way he married Spice Girl Victoria “Posh” Adams, and together they inhabit a celebrity whirlwind of Diana-esque proportions.

Excerpt: Andrei Arlovski (Belarusian: , born February 4, 1979) is a Belarusian mixed martial arts fighter and a former Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight champion. He currently competes for the Strikeforce promotion. He is considered to be one of the top ten ranked heavyweights in the world by multiple MMA publications. Arlovski was born in Bobruisk and raised in Minsk, in the Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic of the former USSR (now Belarus). When he was younger, bullies often picked on him and beat him up. In 1994, when he was 14 years old, he finally had enough and started lifting weights to put on muscle and, he hoped, to help him deal with these bullies. Andrei only took up martial arts at the age of 16 having previously been interested in soccer. It was an interest in personal fitness and conditioning that led Arlovski to take an interest in combat sports. Enrolling at the police academy in Minsk, Arlovski combined his interest in a career in law enforcement with his growing martial arts participation by taking up the required police defense course in Sambo and quickly showed himself to be a highly competent Sambo exponent. In 1998 Andrei was defeated by Sean Nagy in a 5 round military MMA fight which is not recorded on his official record. In 1999, Andrei won the European Youth Sambo Championship and the World Youth Championship. Not long after, Andrei became the first Master of Sports and then International Master of Sports. He also took a silver medal at the Sambo World Cup and another silver medal at the World Sambo Championship. Arlovski began taking a greater interest in other martial arts, studying kickboxing and developing his striking skills to complement his Sambo-based grappling abilities. At the age of 20, Arlovski bega… More:
