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, now with standing 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.
