Sports and Mystification
ISBN: 9783981758627 / Angielski / Miękka / 148 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. What really is what we now call "sport"?

The book therefore uses a rigorous analysis of the sociological, anthropological and historical aspects that characterize the sport among the less known but definitely more interesting, to denounce the great mystification. From the free form of amusement, in fact, over the course of time it becomes a tool of propaganda and... What really is what we now call "sport"?
