Title: a good book for commuters
Product review: This isn't a book, so much as a collection of essays on a common theme. Foer picks a country and talks about how football/soccer can explain some piece of that country's culture. The essays can be enjoyed separately or in sequence, and were perfect for my morning train rides to work. He never does develop an (unlikely) theory of globalization and only makes inconsistent and half-hearted attempts to develop it, but the content around soccer and culture is plenty entertaining.
