Sumario:"John Bloomfield traces the development of Australian sport from the early nineteenth century, when qualities of nationalism, social cohesion and tenacity developed as distinctive Australian character traits, partly as a result of sport. However this book's primary focus is on the modern era and a nation's investment in science, management, coaching and junior sport. The Australian sports system has become a blueprint for success, and is now being copied around the world."--Jacket
