Here is the fine art of ice skating—a fascinating look at the history and development of skating, from primitive transport on blades of bone across icy wastes to the current high state of the art as exemplified by Brian Boitano leaping through the air with perfection as he takes the Gold at the Olympics.
With close to one hundred historical pictures and forty magnificent full-color photographs, these are the skaters of yesterday and today, both on the ice and as depicted in art and literature—noblemen and commoners, artists and poets—as well as skating's own superstars: Sonja Henie, Dick Button, Peggy Fleming, John Curry, Toller Cranston, Debi Thomas, Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean.
Included in Julia Whedon's lively narrative of history and legend, poetry and fact, is a straightforward explanation of what it takes to get to the top—to win the Nationals, the Worlds, to go to the Olympics. An entertaining and informative work that treats skating with the intelligence and passion it deserves, this book will excite beginners and make professionals proud. With the added feature of a 32-page picture portfolio of skating stars, here is a wonderful keepsake for everyone who loves skating.
