Social Theory, Sport, Leisure

By Ken Roberts

No Customer Reviews

This exceptionally clear text by a highly respected scholar explains the relevance of social theory, theorist by theorist, for the study of sport and leisure. The book covers the main social theorists using biographical detail to contextualise their ideas and bring personalities to life. The chapters follow a set format for ease of use, looking in turn at: questions from sport and leisure; the theorist's main contribution to social theory; and how key ideas can be applied to sport and leisure. Pitched at entry-level students, the book offers the perfect guide to theoretical concepts that are fundamental to understanding the place and meaning of sport and leisure in society.
