Closing review questions give instructors and students the opportunity to discuss the concepts presented in each chapter, show understanding of those objectives and allow the reader to incorporate the chapter's concept into long-term projects or hands-on, out-of-class assignments. Narratives case studies of sports sociology taken from Europe and all over the world provide examples of how to interpret issues in professional and elite sports from a sociological perspective. The examples show the influence of sports in a broad spectrum of cultures, highlighting the global network that modern sport has become.
