From archery and baseball to skateboarding and water polo, and every imaginanable sport in between, the Scholastic Visual Sports Encyclopedia shows kids the rules, skills, and strategies of 100+ sports. They'll be captivated by the unique, sequential illustrations that show how athletes perform a lutz (skating), a McTwist (snowboarding), a curve ball (baseball) and more. This title is the children's version of the popular and award-winning adult title, Sports: The Complete Visual Reference (Firefly, 2000).
Grade 4 Up-As the introduction claims, this is an "illustrated guide to more than 100 different sports- practiced in the world today." It describes how each one is played, its rules, the skills and equipment needed, the roles of the players, and the responsibilities of the individuals who officiate each sport. Detailed, computer-generated images in full color show the playing fields, courts, or courses on which each sport is played and the athletes in action. The latter depictions are particularly effective at capturing the movements and steps involved in each activity. The chapters are divided by type of sport, such as track and field, aquatic sports, nautical sports, equestrian sports, ball sports, combat sports, sports on wheels, etc. The book also includes a chapter on sports and the human body with labeled diagrams of the muscles, heart, and respiratory system. All illustrations are in color. Go ahead-pick a sport, any sport, and you're likely to find an introduction to it here.

This encyclopedia for ages nine and up is designed to explain the rules and the equipment used for approximately 100 sports. It groups the sports into 14 sections such as "Track and Field," "Ball Sports," and "Motor Sports." The emphasis is upon the visual. Sections are color coded, and each begins with a page listing the sports included in the grouping. A graphic shows an athlete poised for action. The size of the chapters varies according to the number of events that qualify for inclusion.
Entries for individual sports range from one to four pages. The text is very brief, but detailed drawings help the reader understand the rules or finer points. Often an illustration is broken down so that each element of the jump, dive, or play is shown in the correct position. Many of these sports are part of either the summer or winter Olympics, and when there are differences in Olympic games and regular play, these are explained. Sidebars and boxes are used effectively to explain details, define terms, or show equipment.
The book is well organized, clearly written, and effectively illustrated. Though intended for a young audience, readers of all ages will enjoy browsing through it. School and public libraries should consider extra copies for circulation as well as reference. A similar title, Sports: The Complete Visual Reference (Firefly, 2000), covers more sports, including some not well known in the U.S.RBB

这本书的实用性在于它强大的索引系统和结构逻辑。如果不是这种精心设计的结构,光是这么庞大的信息量,非专业人士根本无从下手。它的分类非常清晰,无论是按大项、小项、地区、还是时间线索,都能迅速定位到所需信息。我经常在阅读某个特定运动员的传记资料时,需要快速查阅他所参加的那个项目在特定年份的世界纪录变化情况,这本书的交叉引用功能简直是救星。而且,它的术语表部分做得非常专业,对于那些晦涩难懂的专业术语,都有简洁明了的解释,这极大地降低了理解门槛。虽然装帧精美,内容厚重,但它却有一种令人安心的“工具书”特质——它知道自己存在的意义就是为了被频繁地使用、被翻阅、被查证。这本“百科”已经成了我书房里一个不可或缺的知识锚点,每当我对某个体育话题产生疑问时,我都会习惯性地转向它,它几乎从未让我失望,总能提供一个全面、可靠的起点。
评分说实话,这本书的视觉冲击力是无与伦比的。当我把它带到我的运动俱乐部和朋友们分享时,所有人都被那些跨页的、几乎是艺术品级别的体育摄影作品所震撼。这些照片不仅仅是记录了某个动作或瞬间,它们捕捉到了运动员在极限状态下身体与意志力的完美结合。比如,在回顾田径历史的部分,那些黑白照片与现代高清彩照的穿插对比,让人清晰地感受到运动技术在过去几十年间翻天覆地的变化。这种时间轴上的并置非常有说服力。而且,它在介绍一些历史悠久的运动,比如击剑或马术时,对传统礼仪和装备的图解细致入微,连不同风格的剑尖和盔甲的细微差别都能清晰分辨出来。这表明编纂团队在进行资料搜集时,走访了大量的博物馆和专业机构,而不是简单地从网上抓取图片拼凑而成。对于像我这样偏爱视觉学习的人来说,这本书的每一个页面都像是一堂生动的视觉盛宴,让我对这项运动产生出更深层次的敬意和好奇心。
评分这本书简直就是体育迷的天堂!我是在逛旧书店时偶然发现它的,第一眼就被它厚实的精装封面吸引住了。拿在手里沉甸甸的,很有分量,一看就知道内容绝对扎实。虽然我平时看体育新闻主要还是依赖网络,但纸质书带来的那种触感和沉浸感是电子设备无法替代的。这本书的排版设计非常出色,色彩运用大胆却不失专业,大量的彩色高清图片几乎占据了每一页的大部分空间。无论是经典赛事的回顾,还是对各项运动发展历史的梳理,都做得非常详尽。我特别喜欢它对不同运动器材的剖析部分,那些细致的图解让一个非专业人士也能大致了解专业设备背后的技术含量。对于想系统了解体育全貌的人来说,这本百科全书提供的知识广度令人印象深刻,它不是那种只挑选热门运动简单介绍的速成手册,而是真正努力去覆盖各种小众但同样精彩的体育项目,体现了编纂者深厚的专业素养和对体育的敬畏之心。装帧的质量也让人放心,这种级别的精装本,就算经常翻阅,也不会轻易出现书页松动或封面脱胶的问题,绝对是值得收藏的经典之作。
评分我必须承认,当我第一次翻开这本精装巨著时,我的期望值其实并没有那么高,总觉得这类百科全书难免有些陈旧或覆盖不全。然而,让我惊喜的是,它对现代新兴运动的收录和介绍,展现出了极强的时效性和前瞻性。例如,对于极限运动和电子竞技(是的,它也涉猎了部分内容)的介绍,虽然篇幅可能不及传统项目,但其切入点非常专业,没有那种“凑数”的感觉。它清晰地区分了不同极限运动的风险评级,以及背后的物理原理,而不是简单地用“酷炫”来形容。更让我印象深刻的是,它在探讨体育对社会文化影响的部分,引用了大量的学术观点和案例分析,使得这本书的讨论维度远远超越了单纯的“运动指南”范畴。它提供了一个更宏大的视角,让你思考体育在人类文明进程中所扮演的角色。这种百科全书式的广博和对时代脉搏的精准把握,让它在众多体育书籍中脱颖而出,成为一本真正具有生命力的参考资料。
评分我花了整整一个周末才勉强翻完这本书的前三分之一,坦白说,它的信息密度大得惊人,差点让我有点喘不过气来。它不是那种轻松阅读的休闲读物,更像是一本需要带着笔记本去查阅的参考工具书。我尤其关注了关于“运动生理学基础”那一章节的介绍,里面的图表和数据分析做得极其严谨,很多我过去认为理所当然的体育现象,在这里都被用科学的语言和数据模型清晰地解释出来了。例如,它对不同运动中人体能量系统转换效率的对比分析,简直是教科书级别的严谨。不过,我必须指出,对于纯粹的体育爱好者,也就是只关心比赛结果和明星八卦的读者来说,这本书可能显得过于“学术”了些。它更侧重于“硬核”知识的普及和记录,而不是那些激动人心的赛场瞬间的文字描述。但是,正是这种深度,让它区别于市面上那些浮夸的“体育画册”,真正成为了一部有骨气的知识载体。如果你想从“为什么”和“如何”的角度去理解体育运动的本质,这本书会给你一个坚实的基石。
