Descriptions, Reviews, etc.

Description: This book provides the reader with a deep insight into the moral and ethical value we place on sport in today's society. It urges us to think again about current sports practices and the future of sport as a cultural phenomenon.

Review Quotes: This anthology of fifteen original articles examines the future of sports as a cultural phenomenon. It addresses five areas that shape sports now and for the future: elitism, nationalism, gender equality, the rules of the game, and the infusion of science in sports-drugs and genetic manipulation. What binds the articles in this collection is that sport as a cultural phenomenon has moral significance, and its future depends on understanding this. ...provocative, original, and thought-provoking articles, a must read for anyone interested in the ethics of sports.
