What can sport do to produce social change in our world today? It
is impossible to fully understand contemporary society and culture
without acknowledging the importance of sport. Sport is part of our
social and cultural fabric, possessing a commercial power that
makes it a potent force in the world, for good and for bad. It has
helped to start wars and promote international reconciliation, and
governments around the world commit public resources to sport.
Sport matters, but how should you make sense of what is going on in
the world of sport today? Now in a fully revised, updated and
expanded third edition, this critical, challenging and
comprehensive textbook introduces the study of sport, culture and
society. International in scope, it challenges us to reactivate an
audacious spirit of activism through sport. Full of contemporary
examples, it places sport at the heart of the analysis and
introduces the reader to every core topic and emerging area in the
study of sport and society, including: the history and politics of
sport; sport, gender and sexuality; sport, disability and advocacy;
sport, race and racism; sport, violence and crime; sport and
health; sport, globalisation and democracy; sport, media and
cultural relations; sport and the environment; sporting cities and
mega-events; sport, poverty and development. Each chapter includes
a wealth of useful features, including Sport in Focus case studies,
chapter summaries, guides to further reading, revision questions,
practical projects, definitions of key concepts and weblinks.
Additional teaching and learning resources - including a testbank,
resource list and glossary - are available on a companion website.
Sport, Culture and Society is the most broad-ranging, in-depth and
thoughtful introduction to the sociocultural analysis of sport
currently available and sets a new agenda for the discipline. It is
essential reading for all students with an interest in sport.

The U.S. wine industry is growing rapidly and wine consumption is
an increasingly important part of American culture. American Wine
Economics is intended for students of economics, wine
professionals, and general readers who seek to gain a unified and
systematic understanding of the economic organization of the wine
trade. The wine industry possesses unique characteristics that make
it interesting to study from an economic perspective. This volume
delivers up-to-date information about complex attributes of wine;
grape growing, wine production, and wine distribution activities;
wine firms and consumers; grape and wine markets; and wine
globalization. Thornton employs economic principles to explain how
grape growers, wine producers, distributors, retailers, and
consumers interact and influence the wine market. The volume
includes a summary of findings and presents insights from the
growing body of studies related to wine economics. Economic
concepts, supplemented by numerous examples and anecdotes, are used
to gain insight into wine firm behavior and the importance of
contractual arrangements in the industry. Thornton also provides a
detailed analysis of wine consumer behavior and what studies reveal
about the factors that dictate wine-buying decisions.

This book offers a timely and detailed examination of the reality
of criminal legal practice today. Drawing upon extensive anonymous
interviews with criminal lawyers in England and Wales, it
illuminates how financial pressures arise within the criminal
justice system and how lawyers seek to navigate them. The work of
criminal lawyers is frequently depicted in the news and media as
exciting, well-paid and worthwhile, with prosecutors aiming to
convict the guilty and defence lawyers fighting against
miscarriages of justice. In contrast, the picture reported by many
is of an already creaking and under-resourced system, now
exacerbated by fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic. Against this
backdrop, the book considers whether the criminal legal aid system
really can continue to provide those unable to afford a lawyer with
access to justice and whether the Crown Prosecution Service can
provide justice to victims of crime. The book presents detailed
findings about the work and experiences of both prosecutors and
defence lawyers, how financial pressures influence this and to what
extent this has changed with the new ways of working brought about
by the COVID-19 pandemic.
