4-6Extreme Sports series.
The titles in this series provide a quick look at the beginnings of each sport, then move on to cover safety practices, equipment, skills and training, and competitions. The conversational tone and brief chunks of text, including short boxed profiles of important individuals, will likely engage reluctant readers and sports enthusiasts despite interruptions to define some terms. Color photos, many poorly reproduced, appear in each volume. Bib., glos.
