He maps international sporting events and issues, and charts the economic structures within which sports operate.

Paralympics,
Gay Games,
Drug Abuse,
Sports for Development,

Sponsorship,
Merchandising,
Spectators,
Gambling,
Tourism.
The atlas profiles well-known sports with a global reach, such as Boxing, Golf, and Soccer, and as well as those with a strong cultural base, such as Handball, Hockey, and Ice Skating. It traces each sport’s development, analyses its commercial momentum, and identifies its most successful exponents.

He is the author of numerous books on sport, leisure and consumption, including Sport and Leisure Cultures and A Dictionary of Sport Studies, and has written on sport cultures and politics for the Financial Times, New Statesman, When Saturday Comes, and Der Taggesspiegel.
