      abstract = {This is a book about boys bodies, masculinities, and the  ways in which boys navigate their lives from early  childhood through to the beginning of adolescence. Drummond  focuses on sport, health and physical activity, and adds  context to the history of male bodies, the social  construction of masculinity and the role of sport as a  potential rite of passage for young males. Using rich  descriptive interview data with 33 boys from the ages of 5  to 13, collected over an 8- year period, Boys Bodies  identifies important issues including the significance of  muscularity and strength as signifiers of masculinity and  the need for boys to be involved in "blood sports" as well  as "beat girls" in sporting competitions. The meaning of  health and the perception of boys changing bodies over time  are central to the discussion. The book will appeal to  researchers, teachers, practitioners, policy makers and  parents.},
