ASBA has announced the
publication of the eighth
edition of one of its most
popular books, Running Tracks: A
Construction and Maintenance
Manual.
The book is designed for anyone
involved in building,
maintaining, repairing or
renovating running tracks, and
facilities of all types. It
includes user-friendly technical
information on all aspects of
tracks, including design,
budgeting and planning, site
requirements, surface selection,
construction, maintenance,
repair, amenities and
accessories and more. In
addition, it includes diagrams,
photos, governing bodies and
sources for further information.
The book has been re-organized
and edited, giving it a much
more user-friendly appearance,
and a format that provides for
easier use for those at all
levels of the track and field
industry. The information in the
book is organized so that it
takes the reader from project
conception to project
completion. The new book is
organized in more, shorter
chapters, and uses external tabs
that allow readers to access the
information they need more
quickly and easily.
Already on the bookshelves is
Tennis Courts: A Construction
and Maintenance Manual, which is
a joint project with the U.S.
Tennis Association. Like its
counterpart for tracks, the
Tennis Courts book is easy to
use and has been well-received
by both builders and the general
public.
I am very pleased with our
newest publications, adds Mark
Brogan, Chairman of the ASBA.
The new edition of Running
Tracks: A Construction and
Maintenance Manual, may be one
of the most valuable resources
our organization has ever
published. I am also impressed
with the new format of the book,
which makes it much easier for
the reader to use.
Copies of the new edition of the
books are now available at a
cost of $44.95 each. Books can
be ordered by contacting ASBA at
866-501-ASBA (2722), or by going
to the web site,
www.sportsbuilders.org. The
books are also available
instantly as a download. |
