Five notable books on football

One title on the Barnes & Noble Review's list of five top books on football:

The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game
by Michael Lewis

A fine balance is struck between savvy analysis of maturation in NFL offensive strategy with the sentimental story of pro-bound left tackle Michael Oher's orphaned childhood and adoption into the family of an Ole Miss sports legend. Lewis again delivers the shakeups to conventional athletic wisdom that made his bestseller Moneyball a household name, juxtaposing the pursuit of emotional intelligence with its application upon the professional gridiron.
