Recenzii

"Comprising essays by a group of international scholars on a variety of critical issues in the world of ability, disability, sport, and adapted physical activity, this book provides comprehensive, historically based coverage...A thematic or conceptual approach to designing and presenting tasks allows for an array of 'correct' responses and the opportunity to refine movement patterns and broaden the movement repertoire." This speaks to the beauty of this timely book, which not only provides definitions and applications but also looks at the challenges of determining how best to serve the individual and at what still needs to be done--i.e., at how far one can go in terms of ethics. Summing Up: Recommended." – Choice, July 2010 
"They take a closer look at how today's technology can make certain disabilities an advantage to the athlete due to more refined prostheses, lighter wheelchairs, etc. This blurs the picture of who is dis-abled or too-abled, and using terms that could come straight out of a general doping discussion it is argued that it challenges part of the internal logic of sport: equality." – Kenneth Aggerholm Department of Sport Science, University of Aarhus

 "Ethics, Disability and Sports academic heterogeneity entails that the papers included will be differently relevant to diverse types of readers. Nevertheless, there is undoubtedly in this volume relevant information for philosophical debate critically important for the ethical development of APA and disability sport, especially in what concerns the protection of the central values of self-determination and personal agency. I recommend this book to all researchers, practitioners, and students who wish to contribute to this development." – Carla Filomena Silva, Loughborough University, Published in Adapted Physical Activity Quarterly
