While the earliest evidence of organized running can be traced back
to Egypt in 3800 BCE, the modern sport of track and field evolved
from rural games and church and folk festivals, and rules were
drawn up in the final quarter of the 19th century in those advanced
societies where enough people had the leisure time to indulge their
fancies. Today, in addition to the running events, track and field
includes such events as the high jump, pole vault, long jump, shot,
discus, javelin, hammer, and decathlon. The Historical Dictionary
of Track and Field covers the history of this sport through a
chronology, an introductory essay, appendixes, and an extensive
bibliography. The dictionary section has over 500 cross-referenced
entries on key figures, places, competitions, and governing bodies
within the sport. This book is an excellent access point for
researchers, students, and anyone wanting to know more about the
history of track and field.
