Table of ContentsReviewsThis is a remarkable and beautifully written book that conveys both a compelling evolutionary account of the origins of human morality, and a consistently insightful discussion of sport in relation to it. Players and fans, coaches and refs, competition and teamwork, winning and losing, fairness and cheating, ritual and play, authenticity and imitation-Severson's book brings all of these into a sharper and more meaningful light, and does it with a style of storytelling that gives pleasure from start to finish. Anyone who loves sport, or loves thinking about it, will love this book. -- Walter Thomas Schmid, author of Golf as Meaningful Play Author InformationRichard J.
