The first systematic 'reading' of Eichberg's work published in English, this book enables readers to access and interpret his innovative ideas on 'body-cultures' for the first time.

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, Focault, Habermas and others, is now attracting considerable interest from Anglo-American sociologists, historians and geographers. This collection has been extensively edited to highlight Eichberg's most important arguments and themes. Introductory essays from the editors and Susan Brownell provide clear explanations and interpretations as well as a biography of Eichberg.

John Bale is Reader in Geography and Education at Keele University and Chris Philo is Professor of Geography at Glasgow University.
