{"product_id":"a-critical-realist-theory-of-graham-scambler-9780367743185","title":"A Critical Realist Theory of Sport","description":"This book argues that sport in the era of global or financialised capitalism has undergone a process of fracturing, which requires a re-assessment of longstanding and consensual accounts of traditional-to-modern sporting activity. Considering rival concepts of sport, it presents detailed, illustrative studies of various types of sporting or athletic activity - including soccer, cricket, rugby and track and field - to advance an alternative sociological understanding of sport rooted in the philosophies and theories of critical realism and critical theory. As such, \u003cem\u003eA Critical Realist Theory of Sport\u003c\/em\u003e will appeal to scholars of sociology and social theory with interests in sport, research methods and critical realist thought.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Graham Scambler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367743183\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367743185\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/30\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 188\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.42d","brand":"Graham Scambler","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44302024147199,"sku":"9780367743185","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_751c0a88-e998-45a5-b9af-ffbe654a2c54.jpg?v=1695159082","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-critical-realist-theory-of-graham-scambler-9780367743185","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
