EBook Description: A Brief History of the Olympic Games Wiley-Blackwell | ISBN: 1405111291 | January 5, 2004 | 200 pages | File type: PDF | 1.6 mb For more than a millennium, the ancient Olympics captured the imaginations of the Greeks, until a Christianized Rome terminated the competitions in the fourth century AD. But the Olympic ideal did not die and this book is a succinct history of the ancient Olympics and their modern resurgence. Classics professor David Young, who has researched the subject for over 25 years, reveals how the ancient Olympics evolved from modest beginnings into a grand festival, attracting hundreds of highly trained athletes, tens of thousands of spectators, and the finest artists and poets.

Apolo Anton Ohno (Asian Americans of Achievement) Book

Publisher: Chelsea House | ISBN: 1604135654 | edition 2009 | PDF | 120 pages | 2,3 mb
As the son of a single father, Apolo Anton Ohno showed a lot of spunk and energy. To keep out of trouble, Ohno got involved in sports like swimming and inline skating. But everything changed when he saw the short-track speed skating during the 1994 Winter Olympic Games. His natural talent for the sport quickly became apparent, and soon he moved, reluctantly, from Seattle to Salt Lake City for serious training. After both triumphs and disappointments, Ohno's hard work and determination paid off when he skated away with two Olympic medals - one silver, one gold - in the 2002 Winter Games.

Sport, Revolution and the Beijing Olympics Book

Publisher: Berg Publishers 2008-05-15 | 288 Pages | ISBN: 1845201000 | PDF | 1.7 MB<br>The 2008 Olympic Games will be held in Beijing, but many human rights activists support a boycott. They liken the circumstances to previous governments that used the games to glorify their regimes--most notoriously the Nazis in 1936. What has led to this perception and is it fair?<br>Sport, Revolution and the Beijing Olympics is a cultural history of sport in China that challenges many such ingrained Western assumptions. The authors unpick the relationship of sport to imperialism and revolution and examine its significance in both China and Taiwan at governmental and everyday levels. In the process they successfully debunk harmful myths, such as the prevalence of drugs in Chinese sport among women athletes, and present a balanced view that is a much-needed corrective to popular understanding.

Games on Symbian OS A Handbook for Mobile Development Book

This book divides into four parts. The first part introduces the world of mobile games. It aims to explain what mobile games are, who plays them, who writes and sells them, how they sell them and what the major issues are in the marketplace. We�ll look at some statistics for the sales of mobile games and mobile phones, and make comparisons with game consoles, handheld systems and PC games. The first chapter is not technical and is suitable for anyone interested in finding out more about the mobile games industry. However, there is an excursion into the differences between BREW, Java ME and native C++ games, a brief foray into issues of compatibility and portability, and a short introduction to some of the aspects of game development that characterize any mobile platform. So there�s something for developers too: topics are introduced gradually, with signposts directing readers where to go for more information within the rest of the book � and beyond.
