520    "Played on frozen ponds in cold northern lands, hockey 
       seemed an especially unlikely game to gain a global 
       following. But from its beginnings in the nineteenth 
       century, the sport has drawn from different cultures and 
       crossed boundaries--between Canada and the United States, 
       across the Atlantic, and among different regions of 
       Europe. It has been a political flashpoint within 
       countries and internationally. And it has given rise to 
       far-reaching cultural changes and firmly held traditions. 
       The Fastest Game in the World is a global history of a 
       global sport, drawing upon research conducted around the 
       world in a variety of languages. From Canadian prairies to
       Swiss mountain resorts, Soviet housing blocks to American 
       suburbs, Bruce Berglund takes readers on an international 
       tour, seamlessly weaving in hockey's local, national, and 
       international trends. Written in a lively style with wide-
       ranging breadth and attention to telling detail, The 
       Fastest Game in the World will thrill both the lifelong 
       fan and anyone who is curious about how games intertwine 
       with politics, economics, and culture"--|cProvided by
