“It is impossible to imagine a secure future for physical education if its advocates are trapped in the present, preoccupied with immediate concerns, heads down rather than heads up, and with no conception of the subject’s past, nor of its place in the holistic big picture.” (Introduction to Edward Thring’s Theory, Practice and Legacy)

Praise for the first history of physical education in Britain for forty years:

“Edward Thring’s Theory, Practice and Legacy is a valuable and much-needed contribution to historical study of physical education. Tozer pulls off this challenging task with aplomb.”

Professor David Kirk, University of Strathclyde, in Physical Education Matters

“This very readable, elegantly produced and delightfully illustrated monograph fully meets its author’s goal of furthering our understanding of Thring, his practice and his legacy.”

Professor Timothy Chandler, Towson University, Maryland, in Sport in History

“As is to be expected of Tozer, the book is well researched, thoroughly engaged and well written.”

Assistant Professor Conor Heffernan, University of Texas at Austin, in History of Education

“Reading Tozer is stimulating. Like all good authors, when he doesn’t have the answer, he sets the reader the right question.”

Dr Joseph Spence, Master of Dulwich College, in Conference & Common Room
