In Inverting the Pyramid, Jonathan Wilson pulls apart the finer details of the world's game, tracing the global history of tactics, from modern pioneers right back to the beginning when chaos reigned. Along the way, he looks at the lives of great players and thinkers who shaped the sport and probes why the English, in particular, have 'proved themselves unwilling to grapple with the abstract'.

To borrow the slogan offered over the Bryant-Denny Stadium public address system before the start of every Alabama home game, "This is Alabama football." Ask a fan to talk about his favorite game and he’ll probably answer, "Which season?" Ask another to describe his favorite Crimson Tide play, and he may also respond the same way. And if asking an Alabama fan to recall his favorite player, don’t be surprised if you are asked to be more specific: "Which year? Which game? Which position?" Such is the tradition and legacy of the program.

A Brief History of Celtic Football Club, by Derek Monaghan. Step into the soul of one of football’s most iconic institutions. From its humble beginnings in 1887 as a charitable mission to feed Glasgow’s poor, Celtic Football Club has grown into a global symbol of pride, passion, and resilience. In this vivid and cinematic account, author Derek Monaghan traces Celtic’s journey through triumph and turmoil—from the glory of the Lisbon Lions and the genius of Jock Stein, to fierce Old Firm rivalries and unforgettable European nights.
