A terrific cross section of the NFL, from players and coaches to famous stadiums and team histories. Basic football terminology (from plays and penalties to uniform components) is also introduced. Volume Two of this series gives readers a glimpse at the NFL from the legendary "Hail Mary Pass" through to an explanation of how players' uniform numbers are assigned.
In addition to his work as a professional editor, James Buckley, Jr., is also the author of many books on American sports that are geared toward young fans and budding athletes.
Buckley, who has founded a company called Shoreline Publishing Group to produce books for reluctant readers, maintains that sports are far more than simple hobbies or ways to burn off excess energy.
