It examines four types of sport heritage: tangible immovable sport heritage (sports venues, monuments and memorials, landscapes); tangible movable sport heritage (museums and halls of fame, events, living sport heritage); intangible sport heritage (intangibility of sport heritage, institutions, existential); and goods and services with a sport heritage component (tourism, marketing, management). It offers both theoretical and applied approaches to the heritage-sport relationship and intersects with many contemporary topics in heritage, sport, tourism, events and marketing. It will be useful to students and researchers in sport tourism, sport studies, heritage studies, sport history, museum studies and sports management.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Heritage and Sport offers important insight into the way the past is used and consumed outside the academic study of sport history. The book takes seriously the public appeal of ritual and nostalgia while also acknowledging the need for critical examination of challenging histories.</p>--Jenny Ellison, Canadian Museum of History "Journal of Sport History, Volume 48, Number 1, Spring 2021"<br><br><p>Studiously researched and richly illustrated with an impressive breadth of case material, Ramshaw offers fascinating insights into a powerful but hitherto much neglected relationship between heritage and sport, striking a fine balance between theoretical and applied insights that will be appreciated by the wide readership that this book deserves.</p>-- "James Higham, University of Otago, New Zealand"<br><br><p>This book delivers a richly illustrated and clearly written exploration of the changing dynamics of the heritage field and its relationship to sport. Drawing from diverse understandings of heritage, and with a focus on sporting venues, memorials, sportscapes, memorabilia, events, living heritage, memories and affective experience, the volume interrogates the relationships between heritage and sport in operation across everyday lives, nations and in flow across national boundaries.</p>-- "Emma Waterton, Western Sydney University, Australia"<br><br><p>This engaging and accessible book offers a thought-provoking overview of a subject that continues to grow in both industry and academia. It maps out with clarity, not only the many manifestations of sport related heritage, but also the countless issues and debates that emanate from them. There is little doubt that it will appeal to those who have a passion for sport and/or heritage, as well as to those new to this fascinating area of research.</p>-- "Sean Gammon, University of Central Lancashire, UK"<br><br><p>This is an excellent addition to the existing sports heritage literature, which I would<br /> argue, over the past decade, has become more/greater than a sum of its parts. It is written in a manner that is interesting, informative and inclusive. The book does exactly what is was intended to do by providing a source of ideas and inspiration, as well as a launchpad for further research.</p>--Richard Keith Wright, University of Technology, Auckland, New Zealand "Journal of Sport & Tourism, 2020"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Gregory Ramshaw is an Associate Professor in the Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism Management, Clemson University, USA. His research focuses on the social construction and cultural production of heritage, particularly in sport-based settings.</p>
