Sport coaching has grown significantly as an area of research
interest with an expanding number of sport coaching programs
offered. The past decade or so has also seen significant interest
in games-based approaches to coaching and teaching games. On a
global level, Game Sense is one of the most recognized
athlete-centred approaches for team sports, probably close behind
Teaching Games for Understanding. Game Sense for Coaching and
Teaching provides an understanding of how an Australian approach to
coaching has grown and developed as it has been taken up across the
globe. While the focus is on Game Sense, the book also offers
insights into how any coaching or physical education (PE) teaching
approach changes as it is adapted to different contexts across the
world, examining the theoretical, historical and philosophical
foundations of sport coaching and teaching in schools. This book is
particularly useful for undergraduate and post-graduate sport
coaching and PE courses but is also likely to be of interest for
all practicing sports coaches or physical education teachers and
lecturers.

This beautifully illustrated book, with numerous essays by an
international roster of leading art historians, examines Jacopo
Tintoretto's masterpiece Angel Foretelling the Martyrdom of Saint
Catherine of Alexandria, painted between 1560 and 1570 for the
Church of San Geminiano in Venice. It was displayed in this
location for some 250 years until the church was demolished in
1807, and in 1818 the painting was sold into private hands. It was,
famously, the centrepiece of the late rock star David Bowie's
collection, being one of the first artworks he acquired. He had it
for nearly 30 years, and named his record label after the artist
(the Jones/Tintoretto Entertainment Company LLC). In 2016 it was
purchased at auction by a private collector and donated to the
Rubens House in Antwerp, where it is on long-term loan. This book
accompanies the display of the painting, back in Venice for the
first time in 200 years as part of an exhibition at Palazzo Ducale.
