Sport in society

McIntosh, P.C. (1963). Sport in society. London: C.A. Watts & Co. Ltd.

Is sport an end in itself? Is it a means to an end? - to health, to status, to personal or national survival? What is the essential nature of sport? Is play a necessary element in it? How is sport related to dance? Is sport a necessity or a luxury? Does it ennoble or debase its devotees? What is the impact of politics on sport? These questions and others like them have been asked many times and have received many different answers. In this book Peter McIntosh examines some of the answers against the background of the communities in which they were given.
