Fox tossing and other forgotten and dangerous sports
14.99 €
Some sports are known and loved. Some are firmly forgotten. And some simply shouldn't have existed. Children's boxing and ski ballet, ancient Roman staging of sea battles and Scottish golf in the dark, bird hunting with a two-meter gun and animalistic entertainment with cats .... Throughout history, mankind has come up with many curious, surprising and outrageous ways to spend leisure time and show off their prowess. In his book, Edward Brooke-Hitching gives brief descriptions of more than 90 sports and shows what human ingenuity, often bordering on cruelty and recklessness, can do. Edward Brooke-Hitching is a writer and bestselling author of The Library of Madman (Sunday Times Book of the Year 2020), The Celestial Atlas (2019), The Golden Atlas (2018) and more. He is the author of the popular BBC television program QI (Quite Interesting) and a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society.
