Roger Bannister and the Four-Minute Mile: Sports Myth and Sports History
ISBN: 9780415346061 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 156 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Roger Bannister was the first person to run the mile in under four minutes. Fifty years on, his status, not just as a champion athlete but also as a true British hero, a gentleman and an amateur from a 'golden era' in sport, retains its unblemished appeal. Until now there has been little criticism and even less close historical study of Bannister and his achievement. This book redresses the balance, presenting a revisionist history of Sir Roger Bannister and in doing so providing fresh insights into the making of this British 'champion'. This book does more than detail the... Roger Bannister was the first person to run the mile in under four minutes. Fifty years on, his status, not just as a champion athlete but also as ... |

ISBN: 9780415400152 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Breaking records and challenging the limits of human ability are central to much of our understanding of athletic track and field sports, with a world record title arguably as valued as an Olympic gold medal. Some particular limits and records take on greater significance, however, as in the case of the Four-Minute Mile which was roundly believed to be impossible until Roger Bannister shattered the illusion with half a second to spare in May 1954. These essays look at the background of Bannister's achievement and the meaning that was ascribed to it by the media and the public at...

Compared with modes of representation such as literature, drama, poetry and dance, the world of sport has been largely neglected in postcolonial studies.

What does the end of colonialism mean within particular states and sports? How is postcolonialism linked with struggles of race and identity? Sport was a major tool of colonial power and postcolonialism manifests itself in the modern sporting world in...

ISBN: 9780415596251 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 202 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.
