In this new edition of her groundbreaking social history The Girl and the Game (2002), M. Ann Hall updates her lively narrative of how women resisted masculine hegemony in Canadian sport and, in turn, how their efforts were opposed and sometimes supported by men. The second edition of The Girl and the Game begins with an important new chapter on aboriginal women and their interaction with early sport and ends with a new chapter on how trends and issues facing contemporary women in Canadian sport have their origins in the past. Other new sections focus on gender and the residential school system, the promotion of women's track and field, the 1928 summer Olympics and the Matchless Six, and aboriginal sportswomen. As in the first edition, Hall introduces her audience to more obscure Canadian female athletes rather than focusing her discussion on household names. The introduction to the new edition has been updated to reflect the content changes in the narrative. To increase appeal to the course market, chapter titles are more descriptive, the text has been revised to include more subsections, and the 52 black and white images are placed throughout the text.

Hidden somewhere, in nearly every major city in the world, is an underground seduction lair. And in these lairs, men trade the most devastatingly effective techniques ever invented to charm women. This is not fiction. These men really exist. They live together in houses known as Projects. And Neil Strauss, the bestselling author and journalist, spent two years living among them, using the pseudonym Style to protect his real-life identity. The result is one of the most explosive and controversial books of the last decade—guaranteed to change the lives of men and transform the way women understand the opposite sex forever. On his journey from AFC (average frustrated chump) to PUA (pick-up artist) to PUG (pick-up guru), Strauss not only shares scores of original seduction techniques but also has unforgettable encounters with the likes of Tom Cruise, Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, Heidi Fleiss, and Courtney Love. And then things really start to get strange—and passions lead to betrayals lead to violence. The Game is the story of one man's transformation from frog to prince to prisoner in the most unforgettable book of this generation.

Sydney-born Di Henry is recognised in her native country and internationally as an events manager without peer. She is the recipient of the Australian Order of Merit (OAM), the Olympic Order and her industry's Lifetime Achievement Award. Marking almost thirty years of professional achievement, these distinctions pale in comparison to the blue-chip honorific of being a seriously fascinating human being. Henry has managed - and management might be her middle name - to finesse several careers, two marriages and many rich and varied relationships into one hurly-burly cavalcade of a life, re-told in the pages of this no-holds-barred memoir. After a childhood that mixed trauma and tenderness in equal parts, and having taken a degree, Henry worked as an art director in Australia's re-awakened film and television sector in the early 1980s. Arts, event and sports management followed later in the decade. By the 1990s and 2000s, having launched her bespoke company, Maxxam Events, this 'game girl' oversaw 18 Olympic Torch and Commonwealth Games Baton Relays, also games ceremonies, arena shows, cultural events and world cup spectaculars. She has produced over 1,000 large-scale public events in over 100 countries. Whether driving a flock of 1,500 sheep down the main street of Sydney, or sending fiery torches across the Himalayas and under the waters of the Great Barrier Reef, Henry has proven a match for every seemingly impossible abracadabra in the events trade, including wrangling Boris Johnson, whose Olympic and events program manager she was at the time of the London Olympics! This Is Your Life meets Celebrity Squares in Henry's account of her troubled but triumphant journey from lousy beginnings to living legend, beating booze and heartbreak along the way.

The Girl and the Game traces the history of women's organized sport in Canada from its early, informal roots in the late nineteenth century through the formation of amateur and professional teams to today's tendency to market women athletes, especially Olympians, as both athletic and sexual. When women actively participate in the symbols, practices, and institutions of sport, what they do is often not considered "real" sport, nor in some cases are they viewed as "real" women. What follows from this notion of sport as a site of cultural struggle is that the history of women in sport is also a history of cultural resistance.
