    Women in Sports History: A successful sequel, ten years on

    Carol A. Osborne & Fiona Skillen’s edited collection Women in Sports History: Ten Years On (Routledge) examines the developments in women’s sports history in Britain in the last 10 years, following on from its successful predecessor Women in Sports History (2010).

    Needs more methodology and more sports history to live up to its title

    The anthology «Methodology in Sports History», edited by Wray Vamplew and Dave Day (Routledge) seemed to be just what the supervisor ordered for a Ph.D. student at a crucial point in the dissertation process. For our reviewer Robert Svensson, however, it was somewhat of a disappointment. The book confuses method with methodology, and deals more with history in general than with sport history.

    This book performs a vital service for critical sport scholars

    “As manna from heaven”; that is one way of describing the arrival to the book stores of Sport, Protest and Globalisation: Stopping Play edited by Jon Dart and Stephen Wagg (Palgrave Macmillan). Our reviewer is Russell Holden, and besides noting a couple of omissions, he is thoroughly pleased, nay, enthusiastic over this anthology and its critical stance in relation to sports.
