Well with the Olympics in full swing, I can think of no better time to introduce UNP’s newest book, The Global Game edited by John Turnbull, Thom Satterlee, and Alon Raab.  Since soccer is the world’s most popular sport, these editors have compiled the “literary efforts” of writers around the globe to celebrate the “universal and infinitely varied ways in which soccer connects with the human experience”.
