Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is an academic text, mostly, not one of those picture type books. Vamplex looks critically at the role of sport in Australia, and why Australians are so interested in it to start with. He deals with sex, race, class and the history from the start of various sporting contests of all types, from individual to team, and also those including animals. Very interesting.
