Gerald Gems (Author)
A Chicagoan by birth, Jerry Gems has traveled throughout the world as a teacher, scholar, and adventurer. When not traveling he is a professor at North Central College in Naperville, Illinois. His early life in Chicago remains the basis for his work in the analysis of the ethnic, racial, gender, and social class factors in American culture and his examination of the role of sport in society. He is a past president of the North American Society for Sport History and a member of the executive council for the International Society for the History of Physical Education and Sport.Read more about this authorRead less about this author

This book explores the historical role of sport as a prescription for mental and physical health through the epidemic of neurasthenia, a debilitating neurological disorder that afflicted American society throughout the latter nineteenth century. Sports offered psychological relief from the stresses of a rapidly changing economic and social order.
