2012 Summer Olympics

Created by an award-winning author-and-illustrator team, "Summer Olympics" sets the stage with facts, articles, and essential background information across the complete range of Olympic summer competition. An ideal companion to the 2004 Summer Olympic Games in Athens, Greece. Includes glossary and Web resources. Full color.

The Olympic Games are the most well-known of the various sports festivals of the ancient and modern world. They have set a precedent that is followed by many lesser known--and virtually unknown--international games intended to engage specific portions of the population. This work is an encyclopedia of 175 international games that follow a format similar to that of the modern Olympics. It begins coverage with the year 1896, the year the very first modern Olympics were held, and ends with the year 2000. Here is a sampling: The African Games, Asian Games, Deaf Games (summer and winter), European Special Olympics, Firefighters World Games, Gay Games, Goodwill Games, Huntsman World Senior Games, International Womens Games, Paralympics (summer and winter), Special Olympics (summer and winter), World Transplant Games, World Medical Games, and the X Games (summer and winter). This is an exhaustive work. Information includes host city and nation, event dates, the number of participating nations and athletes, the number of sports played, lists of the participating nations (and in which sports), medal results, venue information, significant highlights, and various other facts about the games. Only partial information is provided for some games, because of the lack of records.
