Comment: I thought I had died and gone to sports heaven when I saw this book on the bookself. If anyone wants a book that covers every, and I do mean every known sport to the civilized world, this is it.
The book it's laid out in Chapters as much as it is laid out according to sports groupings. For instance in the First group you have Soccer, Australian rules for "football", American style Football, Rugby League and Rugby Union, Field Hockey, Ice Hockey, Men's Lacrosse and Women's Lacrosse. Here are just a few of the topics covered.
BAT AND BALL GAMES: Cricket, Baseball, Softball and Rounders
RACKET GAMES: Tennis, Badmiton, Squash, Table tennis
HAND BALL GAMES: Basketball, Team handball, Netball, Volleyball, Korfball, Lawn bowling, Petanque which is alot like Lawn bowling but is French.
MISC SPORTS: Track and Field, Golf, Boxing, Karate, Judo, Fencing, Croquet
Each sport is covered in great detail from how many players there are, what the playing field is and what the regulations are. Equipment used and what it is made of, as well as clothing worn. They discuss what country originated the sport and the graphics, drawings and photographs are stunning.
It is a book that measures something like 15 inches by 8 inches so it isn't a whimpy book. And it is a book that will appeal to both sexes and readers from 8-80. It is a book that once you pick it up you will have a hard time putting it down.
Personally I love learning new things and this book is a gem.

Comment: This is an excitellent book for anyone who needs refreshing of rules for athletic competitions. It gives dimensions of playing fields or courts, point systems, winning the game and how to play step by step. I will be using it for working with teams.
