Böcker av James Naismith

The James Naismith Reader is a collection of speeches, letters, notes, radio interview transcripts, and original writings from the inventor of basketball, from the original rules in 1891 to an excerpt from the posthumous publication of his book Basketball: Its Origin and Development.

Written by the inventor himself, who was inspired purely by the joy of play. This book describes Duck on the Rock, a game from the author's Canadian childhood; the reasoning behind his basket game; the eventual refinement of rules and development of equipment; the spread of amateur and professional teams; and the growth of women's basketball.
