History of Sport and Physical Education.
Young, Louise, Ed.
The reports from this conference deal with the sources, manifestations, and influences of sports and physical education over time, geography, and cultures. Written in a non-technical manner, the twenty-eight articles deal with the relationship of sports to (among others) politics, art, dance, mythology, religion, economics, sociology, and aesthetics. Approximately one-third of the papers examine sports before 1800; the remaining two-thirds, sports and physical education up to the present decade. Approximately the same ratio exists between those examining sports as a Canadian phenomenon and as a manifestation of western culture in general. (MB)
