This dictionary (a reprint of Historical Dictionary of the Olympic Movement from 2006) features entries on both competitive and administrative aspects of the Olympics, including Olympic bodies, pioneers, organizers, athletes, sporting events, federations, and countries. It is meant to be introductory and not encyclopedic. Chronologies—one a historical description of each year—and appendices, including lists of most medals earned, are provided. Mallon, an orthopedic surgeon, is a founding member and former president of the International Society of Olympic Historians and edits the Olympic Gold Data Retrieval System. * Reference and Research Book News, May 2007 *
