high jump

Where could I find information as to the origins of high jump and the evolving methods of jumping?

Re: high jump

See if you can get hold of Ken Doherty's "Track and Field Omnibook". It is all there. Scissor, Eastern Cut-Off, Western Roll, Straight leg Straddle, Dive Straddle, Lay Back Scissor (Clint Larson) + The Flop.
Best T&F book of all time if you ask me.
