Editorial Reviews

Review

`This is simply the physical education book of its time. The editors must be congratulated on bringing together so many quality authors from so many different parts of the world. As a handbook, it represents how far the study of physical education has moved forward in recent times. What we have is a clear portrayal of physical education at the start of the 21st century' - Mike Jess, University of Edinburgh

"Inclusive and international in scope, the volume collects essays by contributors from around the world who work in education, dance, kinesiology, physical education and related fields." (SciTech Book News )
