Grace Under Pressure: Emergence of Women in Sport
(An analysis of how sport has changed the shape of women's...)
An analysis of how sport has changed the shape of women's bodies and is now refashioning their psychology, with a detailed social history and exploration of motivation and inspiration, media, drugs, stress, prejudices and politics. Basing her research on first -hand interviews with players around the world, the author discusses the issues which sports reports normally omit. Finally, the author looks to the future and asks whether women will change the face of sport. Adrianne Blue was the first sports editor on "City Limits", has been a sports editor on the "Sunday Times" and also writes regularly for the "New Statesman".

On Kissing: Travels in an Intimate Landscape
(In legend, a kiss can turn a frog into a prince, & in Hol...)
In legend, a kiss can turn a frog into a prince, & in Hollywood a kiss can transform a beauty into a legend. In real life, the kiss has even greater powers, maintains author Blue, in this funny, sexy, & insightful book. Drawing on biology, psychology, history, anthropology, poetry, & the visual arts, Blue takes the reader on a compelling voyage of osculatory discovery, pausing at the love scenes of Garbo, Brancusi s famous sculpture, & even animal & tribal practices. Tracing its beginnings in an infant s need to suckle, Blue tracks the symbolic, cultural, & emotional weight of kissing down through the ages, concluding that few exchanges bring so much pleasure or play such an important role in our lives.
