Bücher von David E. Sumner

Under Amos Stagg's leadership, Chicago emerged as one of the US's most formidable football teams during the early 20th century, winning seven Big Ten championships and two national championships. This biography covers his life and career as one of the great contributors to the development of college football.

An Atlanta insurance salesman, George Burnett, accidentally overheard a telephone conversation and became the centre of a scandal that riveted the world of college football in 1962-63. While this case has been written about frequently, Sumner relies on more than 3,000 pages of letters, reports, memos, depositions, and trial transcripts to reveal new facts and information never published before.

The twentieth century was the magazine century in many ways. Between 1900 and 2000, the number of magazines grew from about 3,000 to 17,815 - a 593 percent increase, which exceeded population growth by 95 percent. This book shows how the growth of advertising enabled the cost of magazines to steadily decline.
