Review:
"This stuff is catnip to a sports fan."--The Week

"[Brenkus] busts out some Hawking-like equations in an effort to calculate the outer limits of human athletic performance."--New York Times Book Review

Fascinating...Sure to spark debate in sporting and scientific circles, the book is engagingly written, well argued, and-even when the conclusions seem almost science-fictiony-entirely plausible. --Booklist (starred review)"
