In this compact, power-packed book, Miller judiciously maps out the machinations of greenwashing, showing how football, Formula 1, and the Olympics stomp sizable carbon footprints while forging sponsorship pacts with environmentally dubious partners, all the while claiming the green mantle. Jules Boykoff, Politics & Government, Pacific University, Oregon, This book should be the primer on sport and the environment for policy makers and activists alike. Jay Coakley, Sociology, University of Colorado at Colorado Springs In an unmissable analysis and polemic,　Greenwashing Sport,　the polymathic Toby Miller guides us towards some possibilities of forms of citizen-based resistance to the hypocrisies and planet-threatening excesses of capital. 　 Alan Tomlinson, Leisure Studies, University of Brighton
