This article by Susanne Ravn and Karsten Elmose-Østerlund sets out to investigate: a) the extent to which cooperative dance practices organised around a performance foster interpersonal relationships among the participants compared with the fostering of interpersonal relationships in different sports activities, and b) which cooperative aspects of such dance practices are of importance for the fostering of interpersonal relationships.

In this hardcover representation of a 2016 special issue of Sport, Ethics and Philosophy, Norwegian philosopher Gunnar Breivik leads a pack of mostly Scandinavian sport philosophy scholars in a discussion of the role of skills, knowledge and intentionality in sporting contexts. Mikael Lindfelt har read Skills, Knowledge and Expertise in Sport (Routledge) and helps us unravel the main threads in a volume of solid philosophy.

Sport, Ethics and Philosophy publishes high quality articles from a wide variety of philosophical traditions, and is particularly open to essays of applied philosophy that engage with issues or practice, policy and scholarship concerning the nature and values of sports.

Just in time for the publication of Mark Brooke’s review of the Routledge Handbook of Qualitative Research in Sport and Exercise, edited by Brett Smith & Andrew C. Sparkes, Routledge chose to release the paperback edition, thereby decreasing the RRP from £190 to £40 – which is good, given that the book, according to our reviewer, is a valuable tool for social and cultural science scholars in the field of sport and exercise.
