Review
The book takes the reader on a journey of discovery though issues such as amateurism, commodification, consumption, culture, globalisation and the 'Olympism' philosophy of life, as well as the politics, policy, power and social dynamics that underpin the sporting world. With an excellent choice of examples to illustrate the concepts, backed up by informed writing, this book will make an invaluable resource and reference for students of sport studies. But it will be an equal good read for everyone who has an interest in sports-related issues, competition, health, fitness and wellbeing. (Garry McGurk 2013-08-02)
