Book excerpt: The Art of Sport captures moments of action, drama and skill from the world of sport. It gives an all-inclusive taster from the world's sporting circuit, showcasing spectacular, bizarre and stunning images from the world of sport. The book offers a fascinating selection of sports pictures taken by Reuters photographers who have had the vision and ability to see and capture extraordinary sporting moments. This collection comprises a sporting story with many threads: victory and defeat, natural skill, ability and hard work, beauty, strength and courage, joy and crushing disappointment - and offers some of the most clever and beautiful sporting photographs that you will ever see. The Art of Sport sets each photograph in context, outlining the circumstances behind the image: how the photographers came to be there at that moment and how they managed to document them. It showcases the two essential characteristics of the top photojournalis - a nose for a sporting story and an eye for a beautiful photograph.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Artistry of Sports: Fostering Growth, Character, and Excellence" summarizes the culmination of a profound journey through the multifaceted realms of athletics, ethics, leadership, and personal development. Dr. Marshall J. Cowell's exploration of the intricate tapestry that constitutes the world of sports illuminates not just the physical aspects but also the emotional, mental, and ethical dimensions that mold individuals into remarkable athletes and outstanding human beings. Throughout this book, the underlying theme has been the convergence of artistry within sports-a fusion of skill, discipline, creativity, and resilience. Dr. Cowell masterfully demonstrates that sports, far beyond the realm of competition, serve as a canvas for fostering character, fortitude, and unwavering commitment. It is within this artistic arena that athletes sculpt not only their physical prowess but also their mental acuity, moral compass, and resilience in the face of challenges. Central to this exploration has been the emphasis on character development. Dr. Cowell passionately believes that sports possess a transformative power, instilling virtues such as integrity, teamwork, perseverance, and humility. He champions the notion that the true measure of success lies not solely in victories but in the depth of character one exhibits-forging individuals who are not just exceptional athletes but also outstanding contributors to society. The convergence of growth and excellence within the framework of sports is another cornerstone of Dr. Cowell's discourse. He illustrates that the pursuit of excellence is a continuous journey, where progress, rather than perfection, is the true benchmark. The artistry lies in the dedication to self-improvement, the relentless pursuit of mastery, and the resilience to rise above setbacks, fostering an environment where athletes flourish both in triumph and in defeat. Moreover, the overarching narrative of fostering growth extends beyond the confines of individual development. Dr. Cowell eloquently highlights the pivotal roles of coaches, mentors, parents, and educators in shaping the athletic landscape. He emphasizes the profound impact these guiding figures have in nurturing not just sporting prowess but also instilling life skills, ethical values, and a holistic approach to success. As we conclude this journey through "The Art of Sports," Dr. Cowell's resounding message resonates sports serve as a conduit for shaping character, fostering resilience, and nurturing excellence. The artistry within sports lies not only in the moments of victory but in the indelible imprints left on individuals-their growth, their unwavering spirit, and their ability to transcend the boundaries of the game to become exemplary contributors to a better world. In the tapestry of athletics, Dr. Cowell's vision transcends the mere pursuit of sporting success; it champions a paradigm where the artistry of sports becomes a transformative force, sculpting individuals capable of leaving an enduring legacy of character, resilience, and excellence-a legacy that transcends the confines of the field and echoes through generations to come.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book compares two major leisure activities – watching sport and engaging with art. It explores a range of philosophical questions that arise when sport and art are placed side by side: The works of Shakespeare, Rembrandt and Mozart have continued to fill playhouses, galleries and concert halls for centuries since they were created, while our interest in even the most epic sporting contests fades after just a few years, or even a single season. What explains this difference? Sporting contests are merely games. So why do sports fans attach such great importance to whether their team wins or loses? Do sporting contests have meaning in the way works of art do? Beauty is a central value in art. Is it important in sport? What role does morality play in sport and art? What value do sport and art contribute to the world and to the meaning of people’s lives?

Book excerpt: Unlike hefty anthologies and skinny monographs, this volume offers both concision and breadth: a mesomorphic text. The division of the book into two parts, the first on the nature of sport, the second on rules and values, is a natural one, reaching out from a grasp of what sport is toward an understanding of what it ought to be. In addition to the carefully selected readings, the book includes discussion questions and ideas for further inquiry, laying out the depth of debate in this rapidly growing field. Ultimately, readers will glean a richer understanding of what sport is and why it matters, so much and in so many ways, to so many people.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Sport and Society written by Lawrence A. Wenner and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022-09-27 with total page 1201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sport has come to have an increasingly large impact on daily life and commerce across the globe. From mega-events, such as the World Cup or Super Bowl, to the early socialization of children into sport, the study of sport and society has developed as a distinctly wide-ranging scholarly enterprise, centered in sociology, sport studies, and cultural, media, and gender studies. In The Oxford Handbook of Sport and Society, Lawrence Wenner brings together contributions from the world's leading scholars on sport and society to create the premier comprehensive and interdisciplinary reference for scholars and students looking to understand key areas of inquiry about the role and impacts of sport in contemporary culture. The Handbook offers penetrating analyses of the key ways that today's outsized sport is integrated into the lives of both athletes and fans and increasingly shapes the social fabric and cultural logics across the world. Featuring 85 leading international scholars, the volume is organized into six sections: society and values, enterprise and capital, participation and cultures, lifespan and careers, inclusion and exclusion, and spectator engagement and media. To aid comprehension and comparison, each chapter opens with a brief introduction to the area of research and features a common organizational scheme with three main sections of key issues, approaches, and debates to guide scholars and students to what is currently most important in the study of each area. Written at an accessible level and offering rich resources to further study each topic, this handbook is an essential resource for scholars and students as well as general readers who wish to understand the growing social, cultural, political, and economic influences of sport in society and our everyday lives.
