The Reviews:
This anthology of essays and magazine articles addresses competition and its effect on children…Each piece opens with an introduction and three or four questions for students to consider. In addition, each chapter has a useful one-page introduction and a bibliography of periodical articles. Questions for further discussion appear at the back of the book along with an annotated list of organizations to contact for further information…(this book) offers a cross-section of clearly written and cogently argued positions on social and political issues dealing with American sports.
