Review
“It cites excellent sources to expand research and educates about how sports affect many aspects of our lives. Recommended for large public and academic libraries.”–
“An especially strong and valuable contribution....It covers an area in which many academic libraries, in particular, do not have strong collections of. It is particular value in terms of developing collections as well as in helping students who are doing papers to locate appropriate sources....Dearorff has done an outstanding job.”–
Book Description
This guide to the available literature on sports in American culture during the last two decades of the 20th century is a companion to Jack Higg's Sports: A Reference Guide (Greenwood, 1982). The types of individual or team sports included in this volume include those that are viewed as physical contests engaged in for physical, emotional, spiritual, or psychological fulfillment. With a focus on books alone, chapters review the available literature regarding sports and each concludes with a bibliography. Academic journals likely to contain articles on the topics discussed are listed at the end of each chapter. Twelve chapters discuss sports and American history, business and law, education, ethnicity and race, gender, literature, philosophy and religion, popular culture, psychology, science and technology, sociology and world history.
