      From January 2010 SLJ
      Stewart and Kennedy deliver another winner to their collection of titles that examine the greatest moments in popular sports. As with Swish (2009) and Longball (2006), Touchdown offers a conversational and engaging history of football, along with details on ten of the touchdowns that the authors feel are among the greatest in history. Other chapters include brief biographies of players who have brought their own unique twist to the touchdown and a few memorable bloopers. There are plenty of action shots and posed football-card shots of the players of yesterday and today. Whether readers are Monday-morning quarterbacks or have just started following the game, this title offers something for everyone. Similar in scope to John Madden’s Heroes of Football (2006), chapters are nicely organized. The blend of history, trivia, and statistics makes Touchdown ideal for browsing, and readers who want to learn more can refer to the appended list of print and electronic resources. With the eye-catching cover, this is a volume that won’t spend much time on the shelves.
