The funding of American sports stadiums (spoiler: it’s through funnelling loads of public money into private hands)
Also this one about how a load of people were forcibly evicted from their homes so a new stadium could be built when the Dodgers moved from Brooklyn to Los Angeles

second book is the kind of title that falls into your lap innit

A history of train crashes from the mid 1800s through to about 1960 and the lessons learned from each one. An interesting read for anyone who loves a good disaster analysis.
