Physical Education Futures by David Kirk
This book traces the dominant shift over the last century from an idea of physical education-as-gymnastics to an idea of physical education-as-sport-techniques, and outlines the contemporary processes of commodification and commercialisation of physical culture and academicization of teaching that have already begun to make this emphasis on sport-related skills problematic.
Kirk, David: - David Kirk grew up in the wild and boundless suburbs of central Ohio, where he learned about small creatures and art. He is the creator of Miss Spider, who appears in many well-loved children's books and her own television series. Nova the Robot and the Biddle books are also his creations. Some of his recent books are Oh So Tiny Bunny, Oh So brave Dragon, and Truckeroo School. His latest, My Hugging Rules will arrive in 2019 . An inventor as well as an author, David started several toy companies, including Ovicular Toyworks, Hoobert Toys, David Kirk's Fun House, and the Sunny Patch brand. His newest toy, Art Face by David Kirk is available in the app store and on Google Play. He lives in a secluded woodland with his family. They are happily surrounded by a large and well-fed menagerie of hamsters, guinea pigs, chipmunks, squirrels, groundhogs, skunks, possums, deer, foxes, and bunnies, each one as fluffy and huggable as can be.
