The football World Cup is the biggest sporting competition on Earth - a chance every four years for the greatest players to win international glory, and a month-long media spectacle that's watched by an audience of billions. But the tournament has changed beyond recognition since the inaugural event in Montevideo, Uruguay, in July 1930. What was once a semi-professional meeting beset by haphazard play has evolved to become a game of multinational buyouts, dubious ethics and questionable aims - and the new era of football has much to tell us about the globalised world. Simon Kuper is among the vanishingly small number of writers who have attended every World Cup since 1990. The World at My Feet is his journey to find the heart of football, through the nine tournaments he's experienced first-hand - from watching matches in half-empty stands during Italia 90, a tournament that at times felt like a village fete, to witnessing the French triumph at home in 1998, South Africa's national dream in 2010 and the troubling legacy of Qatar 2022. Told on the pitch and in the stands, and in the pubs, front rooms and on the streets, this is the story of how football has changed the world.

When the Swedish Paralympic shooter Jonas Jacobsson was three months old, doctors determined that he was paralyzed from the waist down. It was likely he would spend his entire life confined to bed, and the message to his parents was clear: Leave him here!<br/><br/> His parents chose to follow their convictions and defy the doctors' advice. They took Jonas home and fought to give him the conditions he needed to be able to take care of himself in the future.<br/><br/> Forty-seven years later, they sat in the stands in London and watched Jonas win his 17th Paralympic gold medal.

He has a total of 30 Paralympic medals and 38 World Championship medals.<br/><br/> Leave Him Here is Jonas Jacobsson's autobiography, a reflection on his childhood, life, and athletic career, shaped by hardship and triumph, humour and outstanding accomplishments.<br/><br/> The story is filled with humour and moments of laughter. This book is not just for sports enthusiasts, but for anyone seeking inspiration and a captivating story about daring to take risks in order to truly win something.
