In addition to numerous illustrations, this book includes fascinating essays that offer a global perspective on the phenomenon that the Olympic Games have become and trace its evolution from a great idea to a grand spectacle. 0Exhibition: ALRIWAQ Exhibition space DOHA (Qatar Museums Authority/Qatar Olympic and Sports Museum), Qatar (28.3.-30.6.2013).".
