520 1 $a"A Sociological Perspective of Sport, Fifth
Edition offers a comprehensive look at the social world of
sport. The text is organized to show how sport is a vital
component of major sociological concepts such as culture,
social organization, socialization, deviance, small groups,
collective behavior, mass media, and institutional
interrelationships (education, politics, and religion).
Chapters move from the "macro" perspective to the "micro"
view to make the connection between sport and society
clear."--BOOK JACKET. "A Sociological Perspective of Sport
is based on three central themes: sport is a social
institution worthy of sociological examination like the more
traditional institutions of marriage/family, politics,
economy, religion, law, health/medicine, science, and
education; sport is a microcosm of the larger society and as
such reflects and reinforces the dominant ideology; and
numerous institutional connections between sport and other
societal institutions make it impossible for changes in one
sphere not to have reverberating effects in all
spheres."--BOOK JACKET.
