Planet Sport (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In Planet Sport, Woodward demonstrates why sport matters and how, arguing that we should take sport seriously, and explore what is social about it. Sport is affected by the global economy and social, political and cultural processes - but it also shapes the wider social terrain of which it is part. This is an engaging and concise introduction to some of the big issues in contemporary debates about sport in globalised societies, and will appeal to students, academics and general readers alike.
