But just months later, the IOC GeneralAssembly voted wrestling back into the Gamesfor 2020 and 2024 in a first-round victory. This is theinside story of how one of the original Olympicsports came back from a virtual death sentence.Expertly uncovering the struggles within wrestlingsinternational federation, FILA, and the idiosyncrasiesat the top of the Olympic movement, this investiga-tion uncovers how the original and illogical IOCvote to eliminate wrestling transpired and how FILA,USA Wrestling, and Russia engineered the plan to

remove ineffectual FILA president Raphal Mar-tinetti from office and keep him out. It also answersquestions such as: Who were the leaders ofthe movement that transformed the sport into newwrestling?

With colorful and accurate illustrations designed to

engage young readers, this book implements aninquiry-style teaching method that discusses thecharacteristics that differentiate insects from otherorganisms. By asking if each illustration shows an insectbefore providing information on each animal and howits characteristics do or do not classify it as an insect,the book encourages readers to participate, fromcounting the number of legs a creature has to identify-ing its body parts. Finishing with a summary of all insectcharacteristics, it asks the reader to decide if a snail isan insect based on what they have learned through-out the book. The inquiry style demonstrated through-out has been shown to be one of the most effectiveways of engaging readers in the subject material and

to teach children scientific thinking, making it easyfor them to find characteristics of insects withoutadult assistance.
