Just in time for the new wave of interest in women's athletics, here is a series of books teaching the basics of eight different sports that girls can play in competition, for good health, and for just plain fun. The books include current rules of the sports, brief biographies of stars in each sport, updates about professional leagues, and plenty of full-color action photographs.The world of track and field incorporates many activities, from racing to javelin throwing. The author gives a good overview of what a girl is likely to find at an event and clear information about how one trains for the different sports.
