This very timely book provides a comprehensive survey of the issues and a well-directed overview of best practice in the UK.
Students are given lots to think about with a clear set of learning goals...With lots of good action photos, little space is wasted...The illustrations cover a wide variety of sports and activities so few students should feel left out...on the whole the tone is serious, focused and fit for purpose.
