Reviews
Grade 4-7-In a clear and lively manner, Sheely and Bourgeois show how our improved knowledge and understanding of science has altered the world of sports. The aerodynamics involved in baseball, golf, and tennis; how psychology can be applied to win; and how sophisticated sports medicine has enabled athletes to return to competition after injuries are among the topics explored. Simple diagrams enhance the text. Readers are drawn into the material through the discussion of sports stars' experiences. A chapter is devoted to steroids and drugs, showing how their detrimental effects can take over or possibly destroy an athlete's career or life. Robert Gardner's Science and Sports (Watts, 1988; o.p.) is for an older audience.
