'...a welcome addition to the literature in the rapidly expanding
field of sports studies. It is up to date, comprehensive, and well
and clearly written. Though primarily sociological in its
orientation, it will help students -postgraduate and undergraduate
alike and their teachers as well - to establish connections between
the various sub-disciplines and guide them to sources which will
enable them to probe issues more deeply... It is a beautifully
crafted book and is sure to be a hit with students and their
teachers. It would not surprise me in the least, however, if it
appealed to sports lovers more generally... It is a tour de force
and I recommend it unreservedly' - Eric Dunning, Professor in
