Do we need another collection of sociology of sport articles? Our reviewer thinks so.
The Oxford Handbook of Sport and Society, edited by Lawrence A, Wenner (Oxford UP), features leading international scholars’ assessments of scholarly inquiry about sport and society.

En i och för sig utmärkt sport management-antologi, Understanding Sport Management: International Perspectives av Trish Bradbury & Ian O’Boyle (Routledge), är, menar vår recensent Josef Fahlén, inte oproblematisk. Som så ofta blir med sådana här läroböcker gör bredden i framställningen att djupet försakas, och den fungerar dåligt som kurslitteratur.
