{"product_id":"e-rinehart-robert-to-the-extreme-9780791456668","title":"To the Extreme","description":"Insider and outsider narratives on the essence of modern \"extreme\" sports.An international array of authors, including some prominent extreme athletes like Jake Burton and Arlo Eisenberg, look at a variety of issues and concerns within the new action extreme sports that are gaining popularity throughout the world. For each sport, an interpretation is presented through two essays: one written by a scholar active in some aspect of research for the given activity, and another by a practitioner\/athlete who writes \"from the inside out.\" The juxtaposed essays confront questions about the essence of sport such as, What is sport?; How does it originate?; and What is its use, value, and function? This book offers a fascinating look at how twentieth- and twenty-first-century sport forms emerge, proliferate, and take hold in a sport-crazy world.","brand":"SUNY Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53813402501462,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/e-rinehart-robert-to-the-extreme-9780791456668","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
