The growth in broadcasting, merchandising, iconography and the commercialization of sports has led to an increasing interest in the emerging field of sports culture.

Coverage is wide-ranging with more than 170 entries including: aggression, corruption, drugs, eating disorders, Michael Jordan, Don King, left-handedness, nationalism, racism, Raging Bull, tobacco. The book also includes suggestions for further reading to help with further study, and a comprehensive index. Erwin Bengry, Staffordshire University, UK.
