WORLD OF SPORTS (HARDIE GRANT) (HB)

Matches that freeze economies. Races that stop nations. Rivalries that stretch back centuries. This is the world of sport: electrifying and fascinating, thrilling and endlessly revealing. You can’t hope to understand a nation without understanding its pastimes and its passions, and that, so often, means sport. Organised into sections by world region, World of Sports features a line-up of sports, events and sporting venues that are both familiar and obscure, from world-famous match-ups to little-known quirks. There's also a focus on the world's best stadiums, and a calendar of sporting events.
