Sport and Culture: At Play in the Fields of Anthropology

by Robert R. Sands

1999, trade paperback edition, Simon & Schuster Custom Publishing, Needham Hts., MA. 124 pages. A truly fascinating work. The author received his Master's in Anthropology. He was fascinated at how sport was very definitely a part of his chosen field. Here are interesting in-depth chapters on such issues gender and sport; religion and sport; genes, environment and sport; anthropology and sport (then and now); and much more. He writes in depth about track and field participants from around the world and why certain men and women from certain countries are so successful at one particular discipline.
