Reviews
Gr 5–8—Soccer fans will enjoy this encyclopedic glimpse at their favorite sport, written by an author well known in the field. Chapters cover rules, skills, and popular players. Gifford updates his books every couple of years, so readers should be aware that this edition went to press before the 2014 World Cup results, with Germany winning in Brazil. There is no mention of the issues in Brazil, such as the safety problems or Luis Suαrez biting an Italian player's ear in a game. Many chapters and colorful photographs are repeated from the previous years' editions. However, libraries that need a single-volume overview, rather than a set that separates out information over several titles, should go with Gifford's book.—Blair Christolon, Prince William Public Library System, Manassas, VA
