BOOK EXCERPT:
"Killing for Sport" by various is a guide book that contains different articles on hunting. The book reveals a variety of interesting subjects for modern huntsmen. Some of the notable titles cover economics, agriculture, ethics, and cruelty topics. Contents include: "The Cruelty of Sport", "Shooting", "Hare-Hunting and Otter-Hunting", "Spurious Sports", "The Ethics of Sport", "Sport and Agriculture", "Pheasant or Peasant", "The Cost of Sport", "The Reality", "The Economics of Hunting", etc. No book of sport breathes such a wrathful spirit as this book of humanity. Excerpt: "It is a favourite rhetorical device of the vivisectionists to divert argument from the main question into side issues by instituting a comparison between vivisection and the various forms of field-sports, such as pheasant-shooting, for example. It is hardly necessary that I should point out the futility of such controversial methods; for, as Horace long ago taught us, there is no use in an illustration which merely substitutes one dispute for another. Vivisection may be wrong, though pheasant-shooting be right; while if pheasant-shooting be wrong, it is obviously absurd to appeal to it in aid of the cause of vivisection."

BOOK EXCERPT:
This volume of wide-ranging essays by sport historians and sociologists examines the complex relations of war, peace and sport through a series of case studies from South and North America, Europe, North Africa, Asia and New Zealand. From formal military training in the late nineteenth century to contemporary esports, the relationship between military and sporting cultures has endured across nations in times of conflict and peace. This collection contextualizes debates around the morality and desirability of continuing to play sport against the backdrop of war as others are dying for their nation. It also examines the legacy and memory of particular wars as expressed in a range of sporting practices in the immediate aftermath of conflicts such as the World Wars and wars of independence. At the same time, this book analyses the history of sport and peace by considering how sport can operate as a pacification in some contexts and a tool of reconciliation in others. Together, and through an introductory framing essay, these essays offer scholars of sport, conflict studies and cultural history more broadly a multinational analysis of the war-peace-sport nexus that has operated throughout the world since the late nineteenth century. Chapter 11 of this book is available for free in PDF format as Open Access from the individual product page at www.taylorfrancis.com.
