Over the last decade "extreme" has become a popular adjective to describe and range of physical pursuits and activities such as bungee jumping, dirt biking, skysurfing and street luge. Yet, nowithstanding its widespread usage, "extreme" remains largely a term to differentiate individualistic, adventure-type sports from traditional team sports such as baseball and hockey. The "Berkshire Encyclopedia of Extreme Sports" offers an in-depth dissection of this new and emerging phenomenon, and its characteristics, philosophy, ideology, functions, history and future.
