They have become part of the sport's vernacular, and yet for many fans they remain just names, often confusing ones. To rectify that, Tim Layden has drilled deep into the core of the game to reveal not only how these chalkboard X's and O's really work on the field, but also where they came from and who dreamed them up.</p> <p>These playbook schemes, many of them illuminated by diagrams, bear the insignia of some of the game's great innovators, men like Vince Lombardi, Don Coryell, Tom Osborne, Bill Walsh, Tony Dungy and Buddy Ryan. But football has also been radically altered by the ingenious work of men with more obscure names, like Tiger Ellison, Emory Bellard and Mouse Davis.</p> <p>In Blood, Sweat and Chalk, Layden takes readers into the meeting rooms -- and in some cases the living rooms -- where the game's most significant ideas were hatched. He goes to the coaches and to the players who inspired them, and lets them tell their stories. In candid conversations with some of football's most intriguing characters, Layden provides a fascinating guide to the game, helping fans to better see the subtleties of America's favorite sport.</p> <p> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140612104317/http://www.amazon.com/Blood-Sweat-Chalk-Ultimate-Football/dp/1603200614/ref=sr_1_7?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1294775576&sr=1-7" target="new">Buy this book</a></p> <h3>Sports Illustrated: Dallas Cowboys: 50 Years of Football</h3> <div class="cnnInlineRight">  <div class="cnnInlineT1Image"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20140612104317im_/http://i2.cdn.turner.com/si/2008/magazine/si.books/Dallas_cowboys_book.jpg" width="240" height="240" border="0" alt="Dallas_cowboys_book.jpg" vspace="0" hspace="0"> </div> </div> <p>Few teams in American sports have generated such powerful emotional reactions as the Dallas Cowboys. Like the New York Yankees or the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, the Cowboys are both revered and reviled in the extreme. For the fans who love them, the famed franchise has, over its first half century, delivered heroes like Bob Lilly, Chuck Howley, Roger Staubach, Bob Hayes, Mel Renfro, Tom Landry, Cliff Harris, Randy White, Troy Aikman. Record-breakers like Tony Dorsett, Emmitt Smith, Michael Irvin. Memorable characters like Don Meredith, Pete Gent, Tex Schramm, Harvey Marvin, Too Tall Jones, Hollywood Henderson, Jimmy Johnson. They have been, over their first 50 years the most fascinating team in football. In 1960, their first season, the Cowboys were winless. By the 1966 season they were playing in the NFL Championship Game. In January of 1972 they won their first Super Bowl title. In 1996 they won their fifth -- in their eighth Super Bowl appearance, the most by any team. The Cowboys have won dramatically, won stylishly and won relentlessly. Their captivating odyssey is all here in nearly 200 pages of pictures, stories, iconography, numbers and arcane from those five decades -- a unique celebration of a football team.</p> <p> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140612104317/http://www.amazon.com/Sports-Illustrated-Dallas-Cowboys-Football/dp/1603201149/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1294775653&sr=1-2" target="new">Buy this book</a></p> <h3>Sports Illustrated: The Hockey Book</h3> <div class="cnnInlineRight">  <div class="cnnInlineT1Image"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20140612104317im_/http://i2.cdn.turner.com/si/2008/magazine/si.books/Hockey_book.jpg" width="240" height="240" border="0" alt="Hockey_book.jpg" vspace="0" hspace="0"> </div> </div> <p>From its earliest days on frozen ponds, hockey has been a sport of speed and elegance, but also one demanding courage and physical will.

It's the one arena in which Michael Jordan, Muhammad Ali and Jack Nicklaus have all competed together, for the distinction of having the most SI covers.</p> <p>These images are now unique cultural artifacts, and taken together they add up to a delightful and entertaining chronicle of the sporting scene like no other.</p> <p> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140612104317/http://www.amazon.com/Sports-Illustrated-Covers-Editors/dp/1603201130/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1294775451&sr=1-2" target="new">Buy this book</a></p> <h3>Sports Illustrated: The Basketball Book</h3> <div class="cnnInlineRight">  <div class="cnnInlineT1Image"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20140612104317im_/http://i2.cdn.turner.com/si/2008/magazine/si.books/basketball.jpg" width="240" height="240" border="0" alt="basketball.jpg" vspace="0" hspace="0"> </div> </div> <p>Continuing Sports Illustrated's tradition of producing best-selling coffee-table books for the holiday season, SI presents The Basketball Book, a lavish celebration of the athleticism and pageantry of both the college and professional game.

Lose minutes staring at Michael Jordan or Walter Payton frozen in midair. Examine the juxtaposition of a close play at the plate with the bizarre styles of a 60s women's track team. Try not to be swept away at a shot of Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain defining basketball. Punctuated by the best sport quotes, SI's "Signs of the Apocalypse," fascinating lists of athletes and teams that were on the cover the most times, and other sport tidbits through the ages, this area is sure to launch a thousand sport memories.</p> <p> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140612104317/http://www.amazon.com/dp/1932273492/ref=nosim/?tag=sicom-20" target="new">Buy this book</a></p> <h3>Sports Illustrated: Fifty Years of Great Writing</h3> <div class="cnnInlineRight">  <div class="cnnInlineT1Image"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20140612104317im_/http://i2.cdn.turner.com/si/2008/magazine/si.books/writing.jpg" width="240" height="240" border="0" alt="writing.jpg" vspace="0" hspace="0"> </div> </div> <p>For their 50th anniversary, Sports Illustrated collects 52 of their best and most memorable articles.
