This book is about the significance to sport of place, location and landscape. It describes the geographical growth of sport, its characteristic landscapes and its location and patterns. Drawing on examples from around the world, with many illustrations and maps, John Bale considers questions such as regional and national variations in sporting skills, the relationship between location and profitability for professional sport and the ways in which developments have influenced the landscape.
