Reviews
Horrifying and empowering, this is an instant classic and essential reading for every parent. Professor Pollock is utterly fearless. -- Max Pemberton, author of The Doctor Will See you Now
Allyson Pollock is one of the leading public health scientists of her generation . In this carefully researched book, she confronts us with a hard choice: continue with the unfettered romance of a 'man's' game or adapt it to protect our young. -- Prof. John Ashton, President of the Faculty of Public Health
