Published 12 May 1978
Part of a series showing how basic elements of our civilization have been developed from their earliest beginnings to the present, with examples of innovation and evolution from many countries. New discoveries are related to the social and political needs that inspired them and to the technologies that made them possible. This book traces the story of sport from the earliest games to today's global competitions and looks at future sports. A colour poster is included inside the jacket.
