1997 Booklist Editor s Choice Reference This one-of-a-kind Encyclopedia presents physics in a refreshingly new way . . . by emphasizing the sports and not the science! Without the intimidating jargon, scientific information is cleverly interwoven with sports facts and stories. This balance between technical scientific information and interesting sports references makes the Encyclopedia accessible to readers of all types. For students with an interest in sports and an aversion to science, there is no better way to introduce them to important physical, biological, medical, and scientific principles! Two volumes Thoroughly indexed and thoroughly enjoyable, this informative Encyclopedia will lure players off the field, out of the pool, from the track, etc., to learn how they might optimize performance, care for their bodies, and increase their enjoyment of sports. Rettig on Reference Athletes and spectators can learn about the history of their sport, the scientific principles that can improve their performance, and what to look for in equipment. Students of physics and physiology can find explanations of the laws of motion, Krebs cycle, and the effects of high and low pressure on respiration. . . . Easy to understand and use, this Encyclopedia is a welcome addition to high school, public, and academic library reference collections. Booklist/Reference Books Bulletin
