Extreme Athletes: True Stories of Amazing Sporting Adventurers

48 pp. | Raintree | January, 2014 | Library ISBN 978-1-4109-5418-3 $31.43 | Paper ISBN 978-1-4109-6298-0 $8.99
(4) 4-6 Ultimate Adventurers series. This small-format title highlights cyclists, swimmers, mountaineers, kayakers, snowboarders, and other athletes who push themselves to the extremes of human limitation in pursuit of their achievements. Readers will applaud their courage or question their sanity (or both). Browsers and armchair athletes may relish the tidbit-style information, but tiny print and photos and a crowded layout diminish the book's usefulness. Reading list, timeline, websites. Glos., ind.
