Horn Book (Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 CDT 2018)

This series successfully if broadly connects popular sports with STEM principles. The books examine facets of a sport to show how science, technology, engineering, and mathematics are at work: friction while snowboarding, computerized goal-line sensors in soccer, etc. While the science content is cursory, athletes should find the books enlightening. Illustrations and diagrams help elucidate the concepts. There are four other fall 2017 books in this series. Reading list. Glos., ind.
