Book Cover & Preview Text
Would you say that each year is like every other? Of course not, but we would all agree that there is great similarity in the seasons from year to year. We all know to expect cold weather in the winter months, hot weather in summer, and so on. Similarly, the purpose of this book is to describe the seasonality of sporting events occurring in the various weeks and months of the year. We do this by covering the events in one typical twelve month period.

About the Book
Each week and month in the calendar of sports contains unique sporting events. For example, the World Series is always in October. By chronicling the actual sports events in the twelve month period ending in October, 2009, a guide is presented which will inform the reader about what to expect in future weeks and months. Further, events outside the world of sports that have an impact on sports are examined in detail, such as legal, economic and cultural occurences.
