| 520 | |a "Bascom describes how soccer brought him sanity in the middle of a brutal Marxist revolution in Ethiopia in the 1970s; playing on dirt fields in Kenya and Southern Sudan; Garden City, Kansas high school coach Joaquin Padilla starting a soccer program to engage Mexican American students and leading the team to success; organizing a pickup game among attendees of the Lambeth Conference of Anglican bishops; the women's team in Afghanistan that competed at the top level until the return of the Taliban to power. However, Kicking Around is not limited to episodes about amateur-level soccer"-- Provided by publisher. | ||
| 520 | |a "A lifelong soccer player and award-winning author shows us how the sport transcends races, ethnicities, cultures, and experiences and brings us all closer together. Tim Bascom spent half his childhood in Kansas and the other half in East Africa. Living and traveling around the world, the game of soccer proved a constant truth. Through storytelling that effortlessly flows between poignant and funny, sobering and charming, Bascom explores why soccer matters so much in our common, everyday lives, and how this ordinary yet extraordinary game can bring us all a little closer together. His passionate vision for this most global game leads Bascom to describe how soccer brought him sanity in the middle of a brutal revolution in Ethiopia and how bridging divisions of race and culture was key to success for teams he joined in Chicago and Kansas. From watching Arsenal's energetic rise in the Premier League to the bravery of a besieged Afghanistan Women's National Team, and from pickup games in the Midwest and the Middle East, Bascom finds universal truths and deeply human meaning in the beautiful game of soccer"-- Provided by publisher. | ||
