Readers learn, for example, how the Magnus effect allows pitchers to throw curveballs and helps David Beckham "bend" his soccer kicks. The books' photograph-heavy design works to engage its audience, while the easy-to-read texts explain the science. Reading list. Glos., ind. Review covers these Sports Illustrated Kids: The Science of Sports titles: Soccer, Baseball, and Basketball.
