Summary
Graham Scambler: Sport and Society
History, Power and Culture
This is a concise and meaningful story about the contemporary sociology of sport. Scambler begins his study by uncovering key "moments" in the development of sports, providing detailed accounts of sports competitions at the ancient Olympic Games; the origin of today's athletics in England in the 19th century; De Coubertin's reconstruction of the Olympic movement and its subsequent development during the 20th century. The author analyzes in detail some of the characteristics of modern sports: the connections between exercise, sports and health, including a review of the problem of obesity and the increasingly serious consequences of drug use, then the presentation of sports in the media, sports iconography with portraits of Muhammad Ali and David Beckham, as well as the reappearance of violence in sports. This book is very important reading for students and researchers of the sociology of sport and leisure, sports science and health.
