The Parkour and Freerunning Handbook

by: Dan Edwardes, Parkour Generations
No, I'm not planning on taking up a new activity that would likely land me in the hospital within a week (if not sooner). But I *do* find the videos of parkour fascinating. When I saw the book The Parkour and Freerunning Handbook by Dan Edwardes show up at my local library, I figured it was worth a quick read just to find out more about the sport. This is the perfect book for someone curious about parkour and how practitioners are able to leap and dive over obstacles with ease. And if you were actually interested in getting started, there's enough information here to learn the basics while getting a solid grounding in how to keep from killing yourself in the process.

Parkour

by: Dan Edwardes
This is a thin kid's book which looks to be part of a series on extreme sports. The photography is quite good and there's nothing to fault in the text introduction to the sport. It naturally downplays the poverty and violence of the Parkour early days, but there's little else to fault. I'd call it good for maybe ages 7-10 or so, by age 10 this really doesn't have enough detail.
