The book covers the main social theorists using biographical detail to contextualise their ideas and bring personalities to life. The chapters follow a set format for ease of use, looking in turn at: questions from sport and leisure; the theorist's main contribution to social theory; and how key ideas can be applied to sport and leisure. Pitched at entry-level students, the book offers the perfect guide to theoretical concepts that are fundamental to understanding the place and meaning of sport and leisure in society. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ken Roberts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/18\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 214\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138936737\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKen Roberts\u003c\/strong\u003e is Emeritus Professor of Sociology and Research Fellow at the University of Liverpool.
