Encyclopedia of World Sport: From Ancient Times to the Present (Reupload)

Description

You name it--from acrobatics to yachting, with stuff like boomerang throwing, gymkhana, jousting, korfball, and wushu in between--if it's a sport, it's in here. Of course, this thoroughly comprehensive and sophisticated reference is far more than a hymn to arcane competitions; the majors--baseball, football, basketball, soccer, tennis, and golf--all receive thoughtful and extensive treatment. Still, it's the breadth of the Encyclopedia of World Sport that turns a fascinating reference for the sports-curious and sports-obsessed into a truly staggering one.
Within each sport (more than 200 make the cut), individual entries vary in length and depth depending on popularity and/or importance, and for the major sports they are quite extensive. Yet most entries provide some information about history, rules, and cultural influences. Some even offer rudiments of how the games are played, though the "Encyclopedia" is certainly no how-to manual. Most importantly, the volume seeks to grasp the larger picture and import of games and competitions around the world; with entries on aggression, drug testing, law, ethics, media, environment, commercialization, spectators, literature, and even movies, it's a volume assembled to appeal as much to those interested in thinking about sports as to those who play them. Most of the contributors are academics, and at times the text reflects that--and illustrations, especially of the more obscure activities, would have only helped the effort--but that's a fair price to pay for a one-volume compendium that can place the wide world of sports quite literally in your hands. --Jeff Silverman










Hi
expesially @ misirac and coolmax.
I think is time to stop mirroring.
The uploader must have a personal reason.
He is doing effort.Is not a member that occasionaly comes to the site to have a look for a few minutes.
Is posting many posts that means he is spending most of his time on the computer.
Also I noticed that when the file is biger than 5 mb he is using RS also,so to make it aveliable to people that have problem with the othet links.
That means that he does not have any personal hate for RS.
Must be a personal reason and I think we dodn't have the right to destroy somebody's
personal plans.Is violence.
If it wasn't of him and a few other posters avax wouuld be without thie excellent collection of books.
I use to mirror him as well,bur after mor mature thought I stopped.
Please stop as well.
After all is exhausting and nobody will consider you an hero.People just will take the RS link without even look who posted it.
Hoping that you will take it seriously,
be well and with clear consciousness.

P.S I am a RS Premium user.
