Matt Hern is a former sportswriter and a radical urbanist whose writing has been published on six continents.Fun, engaging, and fast-paced, One Game at a Time is for anyone willing to get their head into the game.Matt Hern lives and works in east Vancouver, where he founded the Purple Thistle Center and Car-Free Vancouver Day. A former sportswriter and a radical urbanist whose writing has been published on six continents and in ten languages, he is the author of Common Ground in a Liquid City (AK Press, 2010), which was shortlisted for the Vancouver Book Award.…
