Beskrivning
Updated, revised and enhanced with new features, the fifth edition of Making Sense of Sports is the biggest and strongest yet. Ellis Cashmore's unique multidisciplinary approach to the study of sports remains the only introduction to combine anthropology, biology, economics, history, philosophy, psychology and sociology with cultural and media studies to produce a distinct unbroken vision of the origins, development and current state of sports. New chapters on exercise culture and the moral climate of sports support a thoroughly overhauled text that includes fresh material on Islam, sports commerce and corruption.Now packed with teaching supplements, including access to a dedicated online resource headquarters with video podcasts of twenty-one chapter outlines from the author (http://tinyurl.com/373oyvr), online quizzes, and an additional twenty-first chapter on depression and mental health in sports and exercise, the new edition contains a cornucopia of thought boxes, as well as guides to further reading, capsule explanations and model essays. In short, Making Sense of Sports is an all-purpose introduction to the study of sports.

Recensioner i media

‘Provides a thorough overview of issues... it is a text that is to be strongly recommended.’ – Sociology‘Ellis Cashmore’s text is a clear and eloquent outline of many of the important areas in the broad field of sports sociology... an original, interesting and timely interpretation of a fast-moving field of academic study.’ – Times Higher Education Supplement‘One of the strengths of Cashmore’s book is that he does not limit himself to one particular perspective... the multi-disciplinary approach to sports studies which is employed here is certainly an attractive and integrative alternative to the more traditional sub-disciplinary approach.’ – Culture, Sport, Society (USA)
