| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Immediately following every Olympic Games are the Paralympic Games. These events include competition between athletes with physical disabilities such as dwarfism, multiple sclerosis and amputations. This book looks at the history of the Paralympic Games, the categories of disabilities and the competitive events. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added.
