THERE IS NO OFFICIAL LIST OF BOOKS RECOMMENDED BY THE IPhOs.

The books presented here are the books devoted to the IPhOs directly, collected due to kind help of the delegation leaders. Some WWW pages present lists of different text books, books on general physics, monographs etc. as books recommended to the people interested in the IPhOs. Such lists have nothing to do with any decision of any Olympic authorities and express private interests of some publishers, distributors, authors etc. only. Waldemar Gorzkowski President of the IPhOs
