(4) 4-6 Issues in Sports series. These hot topics are treated in a low-key way that highlights not only the social and physical hazards in sports but also how sports can contribute to one's personal development and community ties. Unfortunately, some of the examples selected to portray the problems aren't really well developed. Interesting photos, sidebars, and thoughtful discussion questions supplement the narratives. Reading list. Bib., glos., ind. Review covers these Issues in Sports titles: Injuries in Sports, Violence in Sports, High-Pressure Youth Sports, and Equality in Sports.
