{"product_id":"values-in-sport-claudio-tamburrini-9780419253709","title":"Values in Sport: Elitism, Nationalism, Gender Equality and the Scientific Manufacturing of Winners","description":"How will sport keep pace with current scientific and biological advances?\u003cbr\u003eIs the possibility of the 'bionic athlete' that far away and is this notion as bad as it might first appear?\u003cbr\u003eIs our fascination with sport winners fascistoid? Questions such as these and many others are posed and examined by the contributors to this volume. Some are sceptical of future developments in sport and demand radical reforms to halt progress, others are more optimistic and propose that sport should adapt to new advances just as other realms of the cultural sphere have to.\u003cbr\u003eSome of the topics examined here, such as the genetic engineering of athletes, and the significance of the public's fascination with sport winners, are being discussed for the first time, whilst others such as sex segregation, nationalism and doping are being revisited and reintroduced onto the agenda after a period of suggestive silence.\u003cbr\u003eThis book provides the reader with a deep insight into the moral and ethical value we place on sport in today's society. Challenging and demanding, its contributors urge us to think again about current sports practices and the future of sport as a cultural phenomenon.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Claudio Tamburrini\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 041925370X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780419253709\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Taylor \u0026amp; Francis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/17\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.33h x 6.16w x 0.56d","brand":"Claudio Tamburrini","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44056099553535,"sku":"9780419253709","price":64.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_07c5209f-0a35-498b-81a7-294aa90c12f2.jpg?v=1685039511","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/values-in-sport-claudio-tamburrini-9780419253709","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
