Recenzii

Neil Carter's book provides an excellent broadsweep of the main subject areas, consistently based on a thorough use of primary and secondary sources, pulled together in clear thematic framework . . . thoroughly researched and written in an engaging, fluent style.
By focusing primarily on Britain, [Carter] has provided a detailed and well-rounded account of how sports medicine developed in the society that produced much of modern sport as we know it ... A principal strength of the book is the author's constant embedding of sports medicine and high-performance sport within the related topics of nationalism and state policy.
[An] essential reference for anyone seeking to understand the contemporary dynamics of the practice of physical exercise.
The history of medicine and the history of sport are elegantly combined [in this book] and Carter uses both sources and previous research to point to interesting paradoxes and complicities in the history of the body ... Suitable, and highly recommended, as teaching material for students
