The "Berkshire Encyclopedia of World Sport" tackles the whole world of sport, from major professional sports and sprting events to community and youth sports. It covers the business of sports--marketing, management, and ownership--as well as key social issues ranging from doping, racism, sexism, and youth participation, to performance enhancement and sports psychology. Coverage begins with the origins of sport among pre-historic hunters and gatherers and extends to the global sports industry of the twenty-first century.
