This final book in Paul Atkinson's celebrated quartet focuses on material culture and sensory ethnography. Using the author's original fieldwork, the book explores how materials, techniques, tools, and perspectives combine with the five senses to inform ethnographic methods.

Written by the leading name in the field, this is an engaging introduction to the main concepts in both quantitative and qualitative research methods in sport, exercise, kinesiology and health. Conversational in tone yet thoroughly comprehensive.
