A CONCISE HISTORY OF SPORT IN CANADA Don Morrow, et al. Toronto, Oxford University Press, 1989. 393pp, paper, $19.95 ISBN 0-19-0-540693-1. CIP Grades 8 and up/Ages 13 and up Reviewed by Clare A. Darby. Volume 18 Number 1 1990 January Don Morrow, Mary Keyes, Wayne Simpson, Frank Cosentino, and Ron Lappage are all experienced educators. In a series of related essays beginning with "Montreal: The Cradle of Organ­ized Sport" and ending with "Govern­ment Involvement in Fitness and Amateur Sport" the authors delineate the evolution of a number of "organized competitive sports" in Canada. In­cluded in separate chapters are such sports as lacrosse, baseball, football and hockey. Other competitive sports such as curling, basketball, rowing, track and field, and golf are also covered in some detail. As well, there are chapters on sport and physical education in schools and universities, sport between the wars, women and sport, sport and technological change, and Canada at the Olympic Games. Together, these articles clearly fulfill the book's purpose: "That more people should know about those sporting activities that provided meaning and enjoyment to our ances­tors, and how these sports acquired their current place in Canadian life." A Concise History of Sport in Canada is aimed at the general public and its chronological layout and extensive end-notes and index make access easy. The sixty illustrations - mainly black-and-white photos - complement the text nicely. This "history" book should find extensive use in junior and senior high schools as well as private and public libraries. Recommended. Clare A. Darby, Three Oaks Senior High School, Summerside, P.E.I.
