Reviews

'Everyday Masculinities and Extreme Sport combines a deep understanding of the meaning of climbing for those who participate in the sport with a critical insight derived from recent debates dealing with men and masculinities. This is a book than can be read with profit by both those who know little about the sport and those who are enthusiastic participants.' David Morgan, Keele University
