During a seven-year journey around India, Emma Levine heard about the wonderful game of buzkashi, a kind of anarchic rugby on horseback where teams of men wrestle and race to grab a headless goat and propel it towards goal. This sparked a desire to explore Asia's unique traditional sports. "A Game of Polo with a Headless Goat" is Emma Levine's absorbing account of her epic adventure, which took her from camel wrestling in Turkey through bull racing in Indiaand traditional gymnastics in Iran. Illustrated with stunning photography, this bookevocatively portrays sporting ways of life rarely seen in the western world, revealing what it is about sport that makes it so universally inspiring."
