Opis

The Routledge Handbook of Drugs and Sport is simply the most comprehensive and authoritative survey of social scientific research on this hugely important issue ever to be published. It presents an overview of key topics, problems, ideas, concepts and cases across seven thematic sections, including the history of doping in sport, philosophical approaches to understanding doping, the development of anti-doping policy, and WADA and national anti-doping organisations. With contributions from many of the world’s leading researchers into drugs and sport, this is the perfect reference for any advanced student, researcher, policy maker, coach or administrator.

Recenzje

"The handbooks in the Routledge series of International Handbooks are not only aimed at scholars. Rather, they are also directed at becoming an essential source of information for the general public and organizations dealing with the topics addressed. Deservedly, The Routledge Handbook of Drugs and Sport achieves these goals. It is not hyperbolic to refer to it as ‘the bible’ of drug use in sport … Other books in the market attempt to summarize the cultural and social aspects of doping, but they are little more than that, a summary. The wide variety of approaches in the Handbook gives it a unique richness and variety unlike any other academic publication on doping to this date … The book is a must-have for anybody interested in the cultural and social aspects of doping in sport." - Francisco Javier López Frías, Pennsylvania State University, Sport, Ethics and Philosophy
