{"product_id":"historical-dictionary-of-boxing-john-grasso-9780810868007","title":"Historical Dictionary of Boxing","description":"The Historical Dictionary of Boxing focuses on the as champions of boxing along with the lesser-known boxers who helped shape this sport. More of these boxers come from the United States but there are others from Europe, Asia and Latin America, and there are also entries on the major boxing countries as well. Plus entries on the rules, on the organizations, and on the technical terminology and jargon you have to know just to follow the bouts. The introduction provides a broad view of boxing's history while the chronology traces events from 688 B.C. to 2012 A.D. Not all that much has been written on boxing that is not ephemeral, but much of that literature can be found in the bibliography. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about the sport of boxing. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Grasso\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0810868008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810868007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Scarecrow Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/14\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 588\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.20w x 1.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2014 pg. 38\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2014","brand":"John Grasso","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065167098111,"sku":"9780810868007","price":205.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_afaebae3-89f3-4db0-9d54-9f57d2a4fc8b.jpg?v=1768673434","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/historical-dictionary-of-boxing-john-grasso-9780810868007","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
