Recenzii
In Great Expectations, Christopher Doob provides a well-written overview of the structural and social dynamics in organized team sports. The focus of this text is on providing accessible analysis of sports participation at various levels. The text draws from numerous sources and makes excellent use of case studies and detailed stories about athletes to illustrate the concepts being discussed. For the sociological reader, this book provides rich examples of concepts often discussed in sociology of sports classes… [and] address[es] contemporary topics of debate within the public domain and can thus provide fodder for class discussions on those topics. Gretchen Peterson, American Journal of Sociology (2020)
Great Expectations provides important insight into the historical, cultural, and contextual influences that have shaped contemporary sports programs in North America. Christopher B. Doob offers excellent insight into the journeys of elite athletes in modern American sports, beginning from organized activities for children and continuing to the professional ranks. Given the different case studies, photos, and detailed references...Great Expectations could be used as a supplemental for upper-level undergraduate and graduate classes in a sport management curriculum. Emma S. Ariyo, Journal of Sport Management (2019
In his new book, Doob has examined team athletes in the United States from various sociological perspectives—from youth sports to the most outstanding elite. Each chapter concludes with summary and class discussion issues plus an abundance of references….Thus, the book is commendably pedagogical… [its] content has both breadth and depth and you gain an increased insight into American team sports.
