More about the book

Examples of the best recent developments in the realm of sports equipment are shown in a volume that gives readers in-depth information about a very specialized area of product design. From footballs to skating helmets, dozens of items seen on playing fields around the world are presented, with the focus placed on how they were made and the materials and methods of construction employed. Diagrams and illustrations complete the interesting story told about each item. Mel Byars, the author of The Design Encyclopedia and five other design books, is a design historian and professor at the Pratt Institute in New York.
