{"product_id":"the-greening-of-golf-brad-millington-9781526143662","title":"The Greening of Golf: Sport, Globalization and the Environment","description":"Golf is a major global industry. The sport is played by more than 60 million people worldwide and there are more than 32,000 courses in 140 countries across the globe. This book looks at the power relationships in and around golf, examining whether the industry has demonstrated sufficient leadership on environmental matters to be trusted to make weighty decisions with implications for public and environmental health. The first comprehensive study of the varying responses to golf-related environmental issues, it is based on extensive empirical work, including research into historical materials and interviews with stakeholders in golf such as course superintendents, protesters and health professionals. The authors examine golf as a sport and as a global industry, drawing on and contributing to literatures pertaining to environmental sociology, global social movements, institutional change, corporate environmentalism and the sociology of sport.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brad Millington, Brian Wilson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1526143666\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781526143662\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/24\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.54d","brand":"Brad Millington","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43991489183999,"sku":"9781526143662","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1e0f5c3c-cdfe-408c-8178-5fa2d2bfc187.jpg?v=1683310599","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-greening-of-golf-brad-millington-9781526143662","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
