Considering rival concepts of sport, it presents detailed, illustrative studies of various types of sporting or athletic activity – including soccer, cricket, rugby and track and field – to advance an alternative sociological understanding of sport rooted in the philosophies and theories of critical realism and critical theory. As such, \u003cem\u003eA Critical Realist Theory of Sport\u003c\/em\u003e will appeal to scholars of sociology and social theory with interests in sport, research methods and critical realist thought.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45566151819502,"sku":"9780367743178","price":210.4,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/critical-realist-theory-of-sport-hardback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
