Ping Pong Power

When it comes to his beloved ping pong, Roger Bennett doesn't practice what he preaches. In Bennett's book Everything You Know Is Pong: How Mighty Table Tennis Shapes Our World, he covers every imaginable element of table tennis, from the game's history to its role in geopolitics and the suburbanization of America. The book even includes a chapter of scientific evidence making the case that ping pong counters the effects of brain aging and lengthens its players' lifespans.
