description: Sleap (education, U. of Hull) diverges from most sociological studies of sport by drawing mainly from British sources. He considers such aspects as clarifying the nature of sport, participation patterns, explanations of sporting behavior, health, women, social class, race, drug abuse, football hooliganism, and commercialism. His underlying concern is the effect sports and society have on each other. Suitable as a textbook for a course in either physical education or social science.
