Edition, which offers students a less expensive, printed version of
the text. Social Issues in Sport, Fourth Edition With HKPropel
Access, introduces students to the study of sport as a social
phenomenon. It explores current trends in sport and examines
complex connections between sport and politics, economics,
religion, race, gender, youth, and more. Author Ronald Woods draws
on his experience of more than 40 years as a professor, coach, and
sport administrator to explore modern sport from historical and
cultural perspectives. New coauthor B. Nalani Butler offers a fresh
perspective to the study of sport from an emerging generation of
Black female scholars. She draws on her background as an athlete
and professor, and leverages her international experience from
working with the Center for Sport, Peace and Society and the
International Olympic Academy (IOA). The text's presentation style,

sport, from spectators to performers, and explores sport economics
through sport management, sport marketing, and sport media. Part II
discusses sport institutions at all levels, from youth sport to

the multifaceted roles of sport and physical activity in society.

relate these themes to their own lives. Through this in-depth
examination of sociocultural issues, students will be able to
understand and appreciate the development of sport as a part and
reflection of our society. Note: A code for accessing HKPropel is
