RENO - When Richard Davies began teaching "The History of American Sports" at the University of Nevada, Reno in 1994, he was one of the first to offer sports as a way to bring American history and pop culture to life in the classroom. Now, the prolific author and often-quoted sports historian's "Sports in American Life: A History" (2007) textbook is used in many of about 300 such courses offered across the country. Answering the call for an updated version, Davies has authored a Second Edition, just released, with updated information on sports statistics, issues and figures such as Barry Bonds and Tiger Woods, an expanded discussion of women's sports and an increasingly skeptical view of college sports.
