How Soccer Explains the WorlD
Soccer is much more than a game, or even a way of life. It is a perfect window into the cross–currents of today's world, with all its joys and its sorrows. In this remarkably insightful, wide–ranging work of reportage, Franklin Foer takes us on a surprising tour through the world of soccer, shining a spotlight on the clash of civilizations, the international economy, and just about everything in between. How Soccer Explains the World is an utterly original book that makes sense of our troubled times.

How Soccer Explains the World

An Unlikely Theory of Globalization

But at Red Star the violent fans occupy a place of honor, and more than that. They meet with club officials to streamline the organizational flow chart of their gangs. Their leaders receive stipends. And as part of this package, they have access to office space in the team's headquarters in the uppermiddle- class neighborhood of Topcider.

The gangs have influence, in large measure, because they've won it with intimidation. A few months before I arrived in Belgrade to learn about the club's complicity in the Balkan Wars of the 1990s, Red Star fan clubs had burst into the team's training session.

    Palm/eReader Information:
    Palm/eReader eBooks can be read on your Palm, Pocket PC, Windows or Mac computer. The Palm/eReader can display styled text (italicized, underlined, etc.) and formatting as well as perform functions not found on other Palm OS eBook readers.
    What are the requirements for Palm/eReader?

    You'll need a Palm OS or PocketPC/Windows CE Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), or a Windows or Macintosh desktop (or laptop) PC.

    Palm OS Hardware:

    • PDAs including: Palm III series, V series, VII series, m100 series, m125 series, m500 series; Handspring Visor series; TRG Pro; Sony CLIE; IBM WorkPad.
    • 134KB of free memory for the Palm Reader application, plus sufficient free memory for each book (varies from 200KB to 2MB, depending upon the length of the book).
    • Palm Personal will not work with the Palm Reader. It doesn't have enough memory to handle all of our eBooks and there are some important technical differences in the Palm Personal's operating system that make it a less suitable platform for the Palm Reader.

    Palm OS Software:

    • Palm OS 3.0 or greater.
    • Synchronization software for downloading the Palm Reader and eBooks to your Palm device (e.g., the Palm Desktop software)

    PocketPC/Windows CE Hardware:

    • PocketPC series handhelds
    • 167-260K of free memory for the Palm Reader application, plus sufficient free memory for each book (varies from 200KB to 2MB, depending upon the length of the book)
    • 256KB free program space

    PocketPC/Windows CE Software:

    • PocketPC or PocketPC 2002
    • Synchronization software for downloading the Palm Reader and eBooks to your PocketPC device (e.g., the ActiveSync 3.1 software).

    Macintosh:

    • Mac OS 8.6 or later, using CarbonLib 1.5 or later/Mac OS X 10.1 or later
    Is it true I can the Palm/eReader is not limited to one format?

    The Palm Reader can read doc files. A doc file is a type of PDA file that ends in either .pdb or .prc. These text files have been specifically packaged for use on a PDA. Doc format is pretty much a standard for PDA documents, and the latest version of the Palm Reader can view them.

    Can I use the Palm/eReader with the new Pocket PC's?

    Yes, the Palm Reader is compatible with the following PocketPCs:

    • Hewlett-Packard Jornada
      420, 430, 430se, 540, 545, 547, 548, 680, 690, 720, and 820
    • Compaq
