Product Description
This succinct, comprehensive account of the contemporary sociology of sport starts by tracing the key "moments" in the transition from premodern to modern sport. It gives detailed accounts of the athletic competition in the ancient Olympics, the genesis of track-and-field athletics in 19th-century England, and the reconstruction of the Olympic movement by de Coubertin through the 20th century.
