IRB Intro Post #2

For my second IRB, I have chosen to read How Soccer Explains the World: an Unlikely Theory of Globalization by Franklin Foer.  I found this book by accident- I was bored and simply looking through a bookshelf in my homeroom and this caught my eye.  I love soccer, and ideas about global interaction interest me.  Ergo, I decided to read the introduction to this book and found it delightful.  The book primarily uses soccer as a metaphor to discuss the idea of globalization.  I think I will thoroughly enjoy this book since it is about two of my favorite subjects.
