Using a topics-based approach organized around provocative questions about the interaction of sports, culture and society, Sports in Society presents an accessible introduction to research and theory in the sociology of sport.This new edition continues the legacy of the previous editions while introducing new material and examples that bring theory to life. Current debates in sports, such as how youth participation can be increased or sport funding allocated, have been integrated throughout the text to provide a holistic view of society.An Online Learning Centre accompanies this book offering a range of lecturer support materials as well as resources and tests for students.

Like the writing that airplanes display in the sky, God also displays His splendor to us. We often just don't take the time to see Him throughout the day. Written in the Skies is a compilation of short, inspirational stories that will encourage you to leave your comfort zone of tradition and move into a deep friendship with your Creator. You will be compelled to take a look at every day "coincidences" and see them through new eyes. Those every day "coincidences" may just be a meeting with the Lord.
