This review is from: Sports in Society: Issues and Controversies, with Online Learning Center PowerWeb (Paperback)

The book was identified as "used". The book was in poor condition, very used, wrinkled cover, writing in margins and hi-lighting.
This was disappointing since the book cost $8.99 with shipping.
