More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
This excellent new edition continues the legacy of the previous ten editions of Sports in Society. Combining the original structure with new material, the authors introduce research and discussion which encompasses a global view of the sociology of sport. The sociology of sport is a sub-discipline of sociology that studies sports as part of social and cultural life. Sensitive topics, such as religion, have been integrated throughout the text to provide a holistic view of society. Drawing on a number of contemporary issues, terms and debates in sports the authors use a range of specific cases to bring theory to life.

Wrong book for class
28 Jan 2011
Format:Paperback
This is the British version of a book I needed for school. Would have been helpful except the class was on sport in American society. Oops!

Buy it for class, use it, and then sell it to get most of your money back... Its not something you will want to keep.
Fast service

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I ordered this book used in an attempt to save money from the crazy high prices that my campus bookstore was selling this for. Because I was able to purchase this book at a reduced rate...I was able to select a faster shipping method with some of the money originally saved. I received my book quickly in the mail. The book was in good condition as stated by the seller. Thank you.
