Sports - The First Five Millennia by Allen Guttmann University of Massachusetts Press December 2004 | ISBN-10: 1558494707 | PDF | 448 pages | 26.9 mb 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. About the Author Allen Guttman teaches at Amherst College. Among his many books on the history of sports are From Ritual to Record: The Nature of Modern Sports (1978), Women's Sports: A History (1991), Games and Empires (1994), and The Olympics: A History of the Modern Games (2002).
