Produktbeschreibung

The sociology of sport helps us to understand what sport is and why it matters. Sociological knowledge, implicit or explicit, underpins scholarly enquiry into sport in every aspect. The Routledge Handbook of the Sociology of Sport is a landmark publication that brings together the most important themes, theories and issues within the sociology of sport, tracing the contours of the discipline and surveying the state-of-the-art. Written by a team of leading international sport scholars, including many of the most well-known, respected and innovative thinkers working in the discipline, this is an essential reference for any student, researcher or professional with an interest in sport.
