Críticas:
"Putnam's mastery of these topics is what makes this book a must read for teens participating in sports on an intramural and professional basis." - School Library Journal "In this original approach to sports, the author has compiled research examining the major controversies surrounding the whole enterprise, and discusses how these issues have pushed the ethical and legal envelopes of our society....Each chapter examines one of [several] areas in detail, presenting well-written opposing views and providing a brief history of the issue from its origin to the present....Discussion questions in each chapter facilitate use of the book as a classroom text. The comprehensive index, illustrations, and attractive layout will boost its appeal with teens. The wide range of interesting issues provides the reader with a different insight into the sports world's darker side." - VOYA "Germane for all those interested in the domains of sport sociology and sport management and administration. [For] general readers, upper-division undergraduates, graduate students, and professionals.' " - Choice
Reseña del editor:
Contemporary life in the United States would be difficult to understand without examining the pivotal role sports have played in it. Controversies of the Sports World is designed to take readers of all ages into the heart of the tensions and conflicts that arise from the wide-ranging enterprise that now dominates the lives of millions of people. The controversies explored include such issues in sports as recruitment procedures, steroid and other drug use, discrimination against women, discrimination against African Americans, and violence. "References and Resources" sections at the end of each chapter provide readers with annotated cites that will lead them to the sources they need to further explore particular aspects of each topic. The detailed index includes names, places, teams, and concepts which students, teachers, and interested readers can use to explore the controversies that have arisen in this wide-ranging enterprise.
