Du rituel au record
Appuyé sur la sociologie historique de Max Weber, Du rituel au record vise la construction d'un paradigme susceptible d'expliquer l'unité du sport moderne au regard des pratiques sportives de l'Antiquité, du Moyen Age et du début de la modernité. Il entreprend aussi d'identifier quels sont les traits les plus marquants de l'expérience sportive américaine. L'analyse développe et illustre une définition du sport moderne, tout en instaurant un dialogue fécond entre histoire, sociologie, anthropologie et littérature.

Japanese Sports
This comprehensive survey of Japanese sports is attentive to the complex and fascinating interaction of traditional and modern elements. In the course of tracing the emergence and development of sumo, the martial arts, and other traditional sports from their origins to the present, it demonstrates that some cherished ""ancient"" traditions were, in fact, invented less than a century ago. It also registers scepticism about the use of the samurai tradition to explain Japan's success in sports. Special attention is given to Meiji-era Japan's frequently ambivalent adoption and adaptation of European and American sports - a particularly telling example of Japan's love-hate relationship with the West. The book goes on to describe the history of physical education in the school system, the emergence of amateur and professional leagues, the involvement of business and the media in sports promotion, and Japan's participation in the Olympics.

Sports
From ancient Egyptian archery and medieval Japanese football to contemporary American baseball, every sport has been shaped by--and in turn has helped shape--the culture of which it is part, Yet as Allen Guttmann shows in this far-ranging study, for all their differences sports have followed a similar historical trajectory from traditional to modern forms. In Sports: The First Five Millennia, Guttmann traces this evolution across continents, cultures, and historical epochs to construct a single comprehensive narrative of the world's sports.
