This book sets out to celebrate physical education and sport, and
by doing so, encourage the educational establishment to embrace the
subject area as a vehicle for the complete development of the
individual. In addition, it shows that the benefits of physical
activity far outweigh the shallow claims of populous magazines -
there are benefits for the individual, the community and for
society as a whole. Laker contends that the importance of physical
education and sport in many areas of social life has been
overlooked at best, and misused at worst. Physical activity has a
vast contribution to make, not only as a topic of small talk on a
Monday morning, but also to the personal and social development of
individuals and possibly to the well-being of the global community
as a whole. This book explores the land 'beyond the boundaries of
the game.'
