Games People Played: A Global History of Sports
by Vamplew, Wray       
(Hardcover - English - 9781789144574)
This first global history of sports offers all spectators and participants reason to cheer--and to think. Games People Played is, surprisingly, the first global history of sports. The book shows how sports have been practiced, experienced, and made meaningful by players and fans throughout history. It assesses how sports developed and diffused across the globe, as well as many other aspects, from emotion, discrimination, and conviviality; politics, nationalism, and protest; and how economics has turned sports into a huge consumer industry. It shows how sports are sociable and health-giving, and also contribute to charity. However, it also examines their dark ..

Pay Up and Play the Game: Professional Sport in Britain, 1875-1914
by Vamplew, Wray       
(Paperback - English - 9780521892308)
Based on a vast range of club and association records, Pay Up and Play the Game, first published in 1988, presents a systematic economic analysis of the emergence of mass spectator sport during the years prior to World War I. It explores the tensions behind an increasingly commercialised activity that was nonetheless suffused with 'gentlemanly' values at many levels, and highlights the retreat of the latter as working-class consumption and participation became predominant, symbolised most dramatically by the celebrated victory of proletarian Blackburn Olympic over the Old Etonians in the FA Cup final of 1883. Wray Vamplew examines the linkages between sport, gam ..

Numbers and Narratives: Sport, History and Economics
by Vamplew, Wray       
(Hardcover - English - 9781138635074)
This volume argues for a more quantitative, economic and theoretical approach to sports history. The author notes that sport can have peculiar economics as in no other industry do rival businesses have to cooperate to produce a sellable output. He also demonstrates, via a case study of early gate-money football in Scotland, that sports producers were not always seeking profits, and often put winning games and trophies ahead of making money. Another analysis examines how industrialisation affected sport, how sport became an industry in its own right and how the workplace became a major provider of sports facilities. A look at third sector economics highlights how ..

Methodology in Sports History
by Vamplew, Wray    Day, Dave   
(Hardcover - English - 9781138740587)
The process of converting the 'past' into 'history' involves engagement with a multitude of different sources and methods, and sports historians inevitably participate in the same debates over approaches and methodologies as their counterparts in other historical disciplines. At its heart, history remains a genre of empirical knowledge that is based upon the remains of the past, and without suitable evidence, there can be no sports history. A burgeoning range of sources has stimulated new ways of thinking and a significant expansion in the sports historian's evidentiary base, as textual sources have been supplemented by photos, films and cartoons, uniforms, arch ..

Sports History
by Vamplew, Wray       
(Hardcover - English - 9780415837477)
Once winners started to be recorded Sports History began. Academic Sports History, however, was much longer in coming and there was no concerted productivity in the field till the 1970s. Two strands developed: one out of Physical Education whose practitioners mainly saw Sports History as facts and stories about past performances; the other started by historians and focusing on the social--matters of gender, ethnicity, identity, and class. Now a well-established discipline, Sports History is studied throughout the world. This new four-volume collection gathers together the key material, exemplifying the very best in Sports History scholarship. Including a new int ..

Sports History
by Vamplew, Wray    Dyreson, Mark   
(Hardcover - English - 9781473919433)
Sports history is no longer a marginal academic subject. It has now been recognised that sport is a significant cultural activity that matters to billions of people and ought to be studied by academic researchers. Correctly practised, sports history is a counter to nostalgia, myth, and invented tradition. It can be considered the sports memory of a nation: without sports history there is sporting amnesia. The respected editors of this major work have brought together some of the best and most challenging work in the field for the first time. Covering a wide range of sports, regions, debates, approaches and eras, Sports History is a comprehensive collection, divi ..
