Amazon.com Review
What are the colors of the belts used in martial arts? When did synchronized swimming become an Olympic event? And when did the Olympics first start, anyway? The world of sports teems with trivia, rules, and regulations, an astounding amount of which is packed into this compact book from Dorling Kindersley. The introduction explains the history of the Olympic games and gives a chronology of landmark events in sports. (Did you know the Greeks were vaulting bulls thousands of years ago?) Seven subject sections follow with discussions of athletic sports, ball sports, combat and target sports, water and air sports, winter sports, sports on wheels, and animals in sports. Each sport is illustrated with diagrams and abundant photographs of equipment and players in action. A complete index provides access to all those facts and records. From acrobatics and aikido to wrestling and yachting, this pocket-sized guide provides interesting browsing on sports of all sorts. (Ages 10 to adult) --Marcie Bovetz
