Reviews

'Spracklen has written a very good introductory book about sports and sports place in society. The book can safely be recommended as a textbook for four reasons: (1) it covers the most important themes in modern sport; (2) it has a consistently critical tone; (3) it will provoke discussion; and (4) it is fun to read.' Havard Bergesen Valley, Norwegian School of Sports Sciences
