Description and Table of Contents

Description

Unlike other books on the subject which follow a problem- or issue-oriented approach, this text examines sport from a social-theoretical perspective. In 21 chapters, prominent scholars such as John Loy, Barry McPherson, Brian Sutton-Smith, Stanley Eitzen, Jay Coakley, and Eric Dunning discuss social theory as it applies to youth sports, intercollegiate athletics, and other areas of sociology of sport.
