Sports Grounds And Buildings - Making, Management Maintenance And Equipment

This vintage book contains a complete guide to planning, constructing, and maintaining various types of sports grounds and related buildings by F. A. M. Webster. Frederick Annesley Michael Webster (1886 - 1949) was a British athletics coach and author, and soldier active during World War One. He wrote profusely on the subject of athletics, with his best known book being "Athletics in Action" (1931). Contents include: "Sports Fields as a National Asset", "The World's Famous Stadia", "Choosing a Site", "Sports Fields for General Purposes", "Sports Buildings", "Preparation and Care of Grass Sports Fields", "Planning a Stadium for Track-and-Field Events", "Track Construction", "Equipment of a Stadium", etc. This volume will be of particular interest to schools and other institutions that require the use of sports fields and areas. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on athletics.
