    Cristiano and Leo is the fascinating account of the lives and rivalry between two of the best footballers to ever play the game, Ronaldo and Messi. 
    The rivalry between Ronaldo and Messi has defined football to a generation of fans – everyone has an opinion on who is the greatest. 
    Do you prefer Ronaldo whose work ethic and physique have been honed for one purpose – scoring goals. Or Messi, whose superhuman natural talent means he can do the seemingly impossible with a football. 
    Between them they have scored over 1300 goals, won the Ballon d’Or ten times, and taken the beautiful game to even greater heights. But statistics alone cannot do justice to their skill, athleticism and dedication to stay at the top for so long of one of the most competitive sports in the world. 
    Cristiano and Leo tells their definitive story, from children kicking a ball halfway around the world from each other to facing each other in the epic clash El Clásico, between Real Madrid and Barcelona. This is the essential book to understand one the most compelling rivalries in sporting history.

    This book covers a range of topics that don’t seem to be related at first, but if you look closer, you’ll see the bigger picture. All of these topics are more or less connected to the idea of fending for yourself, being able to survive off the grid, or in case of a major disaster. 
      
    The first chapter focuses on something specific: Survival in the jungle. As we all know, the jungle is beautiful but also infested with bacteria, bugs, venomous and predatorial animals, and full of both toxic and edible plants. Learning what to do there can make all the difference if you were ever to make it through in such a climate. 
      
    After this, the book highlights what to do in case of a hurricane or an earthquake, two disasters that could very well happen in many people’s areas. 
      
    Third, we will talk about food preservation, since this is one of the most important and basic survival skills everyone should have. 
      
    Last but not least, we’ll go over some self-defense techniques and gadgets people could use to defend themselves if they ever get attacked or cornered. 
      
    Educate yourself and get this nice, informative book.

    5 September, 1972. 4.30 a.m. The Munich Olympic Village. Black September, a group of Palestinian terrorists, break into the Israeli team's apartments. It is the beginning of the most tragic event in Olympic history and, after twenty hours, the day will end in a massacre, with the deaths of eleven Israelis, five Palestinians and a German policeman.  This is the story of the race-walker Shaul Ladany: a survivor. But more than just a member of the Israeli team from those terrible events in Munich, Ladany was a survivor of the darkest period in twentieth century history, having been interred as a child at the Nazi concentration camp at Bergen-Belsen, the camp where Anne Frank died. For the second time in his life, Ladany has survived history.  Ladany, the world record holder in the fifty-mile walk and a professor of industrial engineering, is one of Israel’s most successful athletes, having won dozens of national championships and competed at both the 1968 and 1972 Olympics; he was a student at Columbia University in New York, a soldier in the Six Days War and the Yom Kippur War. From Eichmann to Sharon, from Bikila to All Blacks, from Nixon to Thatcher: they are all a part of Ladany’s walk through the twentieth century. Award-winning author and journalist Andrea Schiavon tells Ladany's extraordinary life and, walking with him, chronicles a whole century of events in this astonishing, touching and epic biography.

    Tennis from the Heart: Pursuing the Dream is a story about an individual Sam, who reaches the finals of Wimbledon after having been a professional with limited success for over 10 years. His journey through life is a lesson in the differences between supportive transformational coaches that inspired love for the game and dictatorial coaches who turned him off. 
    It shows the challenges facing an aspiring champion—from selecting the right academy and school to deciding whether to attend college or turn pro. Ultimately, this audio book is about the growth of Sam to become a self-aware human being who plays tennis with mindfulness, using the strength of his connection with the higher power of the universe. 
    It is a wonderful inspiration for all aspiring tennis champions and their parents to understand the benefits and the challenges they will face. It is fantastic for coaches of any sport to understand the tremendous impact they can have on their students. 
    It is also a fantastic story for people who aren't involved in tennis yet, but want to improve their lives by being more connected to their inner guidance and help raise the consciousness of humanity. It is a beautiful love story about the deepest and most enduring love, as well as passion for the wonderful sport of tennis.
