Body Cultures explores the relationship between the body, sport and landscape. This book presents the first critically edited collection of Henning Eichberg's provocative essays into 'body culture'. Eichberg, a well-known scholar in continental Europe who draws upon the ideas of Elias, Foucault, Habermas and others, is now attracting considerable interest from Anglo-American sociologists, historians and geographers. Introductory essays from the editors and Susan Brownwell provide clear explanations and interpretations as well as a biography of Eichberg.
