Rezensionen

"This book examines the concept of social capital in sport through the lens of three case studies involving voluntary sports organizations in the UK ... Libraries at institutions with academic programs supporting study of the sociology of sport will be particularly interested in acquiring this book representing both original research and several pertinent literature reviews. Summing Up: Recommended." - S. Alexander, California State University East Bay, CHOICE

"Overall, it is an accessible text that can help inform new directions in anthropological investigations into sport at the level of the individual and community." - Geoff Piggott, The Asia Pacific Journal of Anthropology
