Reviews
Written for both academic and general audiences, the book seems appropriate for undergraduate or graduate teaching as well as more widespread readership. I highly recommend Temples of the Earthbound Gods as both a lively read and an insightful reflection on sports and society in Latin America., "A fascinating account of how the world's most popular sport has left an indelible mark in two world cities." -Joseph L. Scarpaci, Professor of Geography, Virginia Tech
