The tactics of road bicycle racing shed new light on questions of altruism, while sporting family dynasties reorient the nature-nurture debate.
Why do sports competitors choke? Why do fans think God will favor their team over their rivals? How can it be moral to deceive the umpire by framing a pitch? From all of these questions, and many more, philosophy has a great deal to learn. An entertaining and erudite book that ranges far and wide through the sporting world, Knowing the Score is perfect reading for armchair philosophers and Monday morning quarterbacks alike.

THE LONG SHADOW OF THE 19TH CENTURY
Author：Farish A. Noor
Publisher：Matahari Books
Call Number：899.280／F1
Location：Area C
Synopsis：
The Long Shadow of the 19th Century: Critical Essays on Colonial Orientalism in Southeast Asia is a critique of colonialism’s knowledge-power complex which become a legacy of colonials, through the writings of the like of Stamford Raffles, James Brooke, John Crawfurd and Anna Leonowens, and many more of those who came from Europe or the United States to Southeast Asia in the nineteenth century and then wrote about what they saw.
Their writings deserve to be read now for what they truly were: Not objective accounts of a Southeast Asia frozen in imperial time but rather as culturally myopic and perspectivist works that betray the subject-positions of the authors themselves. Reading them would allow us to write the history of the East-West encounter through critical lenses that demonstrate the workings of power-knowledge in the elaborate war-economy of racialised colonial-capitalism.
