Overview
- Fills a gap by presenting an exploration of running that is both scholarly and rigorous while at the same time personal, reflective, and accessible
- Makes a substantial original contribution to the anthropology of sport, the body, and sports studies by locating the text within the still fairly new field of neuro-anthropology
- A timely contribution given the growing interest in running in both scholarly and popular circles
