(4) 4-6 Composite Guide series. Published spring 1998. Each book traces a sport's historical development, discusses its regulations, and introduces notable participants. Although the information is basic, the books sometimes delve deeper; Track and Field contains a brief chapter on commercialism and performance-enhancing drugs. Illustrated with unexciting black-and-white photographs, all of the volumes contain chronologies; only Wrestling and Track and Field contain glossaries. Bib., ind.
