University of Birmingham UK, Leeds Metropolitan University, UK
"a compelling overview of the growing sophistication of physical
education scholarship internationally, and a great resource for
students and scholars"Professor Mary O'Sullivan, Dean of the
Faculty of Education and Health Sciences,
University of Limerick."With contributions from some of the
foremost pioneers and innovative thinkers in the field of physical
education, this Reader stands as a worthy successor to the 2006
Handbook of Physical Education. Its poignant focus on some of the
most central issues and debates in our field and beyond suggests
that this text will provide food for thought for newcomers to the
field and senior scholars alike."Dr Nate McCaughtry, Associate
Professor, Dept. of Kinesiology, Wayne State University"An
invaluable resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students in
physical education ... essential to assisting students and their
teachers understand physical education in its social, political and
cultural context, so that they might shape their own ideas and
build an understanding of the field informed by the debates, rather
than simply being reactive to current rhetorics."Jan Wright,
Associate Dean, Faculty of Education, University of Wollongong.
