The IRB Rugby World Cup 2015 was magnificent—and this new edition of World Rugby Records looks back at that exciting event and forward to RWC 2019 in Japan. Fully revised and updated to include the 2016–17 season, this book is a must-have for any fan eager to learn more about international rugby and its great history. Beginning with that apocryphal moment in 1823 when William Webb Ellis allegedly picked up a ball on the playing fields of Rugby School, it covers the legendary feats of sporting heroes such as Bryan Habana, Dan Carter, and Jonny Wilkinson, as well as contemporary stars such as Prince Obolensky, Colin Meads, and Anthony Foley. Action-packed photos bring the sport and its players to life, and the insightfully written record book continues to set the standard for rugby facts and stats.

Now in its seventh edition, The Complete Encyclopedia of Horse Racing is the authoritative and comprehensive illustrated reference to the sport. Written by three acknowledged authorities, this complete encyclopedia tells the story of the "sport of kings" from its earliest inceptions to the present day, with essential information on all the top jockeys, trainers, leading owners, and most celebrated horses. Every personality (human and equine), event and issue of importance in the history of both flat racing and steeplechasing appears, along with information on the off-track world, gambling, scandals, disasters, social and cultural aspects, media coverage, and the business of racing. Revised and updated to include the latest crop of equine superstars, including Golden Horn and US Triple Crown winner American Pharoah, this visually dazzling book continues to be invaluable.
