Library Journal Review

This study, sponsored by the International Society of Sport Psychology, is a significant contribution to the profession. With articles written by an array of scholars, the publication is a virtual ``who's who'' in the field of sport medicine and sport psychology. According to the editors, this is the first comprehensive collection examining the issues and research associated with sport psychology. The detailed author and subject indexes and table of contents provide a logical format for easy access. With 11 sections subdivided into 44 chapters, the coverage ranges from skills development, performance trends and goal setting, to group dynamics, drug use, and psychometics. Following each chapter is an extensive bibliography. This is an invaluable reference source for specialists. Recommended for academic libraries and large public libraries where interest warrants.-- L.R. Little, Penticton P.L., British Columbia (c) Copyright 2010.

CHOICE Review

A first of its kind, this handbook is the result of the efforts of many individuals, collaborating in a harmonious manner with great cooperative interaction, to form a masterpiece. Endorsed by the International Society of Sport Psychology (ISSP), it is a valuable resource of what is presently known in sport psychology, and extends to the outer limits of investigations of what is not known. The 44 chapters provide readers with useful theoretical explanations for current findings and guides them to new areas of research activity by cross-referencing information in other chapters. The editors intend this handbook to provide an impetus for research toward future major breakthroughs in the many important areas associated with sport psychology; they hope the handbook will be invaluable for reviewing scholarly activity in current sport psychology and that all interested scholars will benefit from reviewing this text. An invaluable resource for every college and university library. Advanced undergraduate through professional. H. F. Kenny Jr.; Wesleyan University
