Ellis Cashmore's unique, multidisciplinary introduction to the study of sport in its cultural context reaches its fifth edition enhanced with new chapters, new features and access to new online resource center. Among its new material there are discussions of Islam, exercise culture, sports management and the morality of sport. The addition of self-assessment tests, PowerPoint presentations, glossary and original podcasts of the author in conversation with leading scholars of sport supplement the book's value as a teaching instrument
