The problem is that these books seem to superficial and don't use a lot of physics after all (at least is what I think from the reviews)
Why are you recommending a book you haven't read?

I am not recommending, I'm asking your opinion on the books.
 
Oh, got it.
Read Adair, The Physics of Baseball. It started off the physics of sports trend, and is well written. Helps if you are a baseball fan, of course.
