Routledge Handbook of Sport and the Environment Summary

Routledge Handbook of Sport and the Environment by Brian P. McCullough (Texas A&M University, USA)

The natural environment is a central issue in both academic and wider societal discourse. The global sport industry is not immune from this discussion and has to confront its responsibility to reduce its impact on the natural environment. This book goes further than any other in surveying both the challenges and the opportunities presented to the sports industry as it engages with the sustainability agenda, exploring the various ways in which sport scholars can integrate sustainability into their research. With a multidisciplinary sweep, including management, sociology, law, events, and ethics, this is a ground-breaking book in the study of sport.

Drawing on cutting-edge research, it includes over thirty chapters covering all the most important themes in contemporary sport studies such as:

  • climate change, sustainability, and corporate social responsibility

  • ethics, governance, and the law

  • event management, tourism, and pollution

  • marketing, branding, and consumer behavior

  • the Olympics, urban development, and mega-event legacies.

With contributions from world-leading researchers and practitioners from around the globe, this is the most comprehensive book ever published on sport and the environment.

Routledge Handbook of Sport and the Environment Reviews

This handbook serves as an important text for sport and/or environmental management graduate students and is a valuable reference for sustainability practitioners, operations professionals, and communications executives at sports leagues, teams and venues. It provides rigorously researched examples of a wide variety of environmentally-focused initiatives that can be built upon by teams and venues currently sitting on the green-sports side lines. It lays the groundwork for more refined and meaningful green-sports scholarship and textbooks in the future. - Lew Blaustein, GreenSportsBlog.com

This text would serve students well in an undergraduate survey course on sport and the environment and as a supplemental text for graduate facility management, event management, sociology, and governance courses. Overall, the text offers a much-needed foundational text to promote more robust knowledge of sport and the environment and how to leverage that knowledge to create a more synergistic relationship between the two. - Joyce Olushola Ogunrinde, University of Houston, Journal of Sport Management
