Sports and the Physically Challenged: An Encyclopedia of People, Events, and Organizations

ISBN: 0313324530

Author: Mastandrea, Linda

Condition: New

This encyclopedia is a great resource for those wishing to learn more about the history of the disability sport movement. Research shows that little has been written about disability sports and the people, events and organizations that created the movement. Sports and physical activity transcend many barriers-thus, a book about disability sport and the people and events involved is likely to eradicate some of the barriers people with disabilities themselves face, by creating a greater awareness and understanding of the abilities of people with disabilities.This encyclopedia is a great resource for those wishing to learn more about the history of the disability sport movement.
