  UPDATED TO INCLUDE ALL THE ACTION FROM THE CLUB'S TITLE-WINNING CENTENARY YEAR.
  
  THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER, PUBLISHED IN ASSOCIATION WITH LEEDS UNITED
  'Every up and down at Leeds United. Essential reading.' Phil Hay
  
  The definitive history of Leeds United's first century.
  
  100 Years of Leeds United tells the story of a one-club city and its unique relationship with its football team. Since its foundation in 1919, Leeds United Football Club has seen more ups and downs than most, rising to global fame through an inimitable and uncompromising style in the 70s, clinching the last Division One title prior to the Premier League's inauguration in 1992, before a spectacular fall from grace at the start of the 21st century.
  
  United finally restored their top flight status after a sixteen-year wait with an unstoppable promotion campaign in the club's 100th year; the transformation under manager Marcelo Bielsa fittingly reminiscent of those instigated by Howard Wilkinson and Don Revie decades earlier.
  
  In 100 Years of Leeds United, Chapman delves deep into the archives to discover the lesser-known episodes, providing fresh context to the folkloric tales that have shaped the club we know today, painting the definitive picture of the West Yorkshire giants.

  Susan and Carlos were unlikely friends. 
  She was a young, overweight college professor and a bit of a trainwreck—juggling a divorce, a pack-a-day habit, and hiding empty boxes of wine under her bed. He was her boss, an Ironman triathlete, with life figured out. She was a whiner, he was a hard-ass. He had his shit together, she most assuredly did not. 
  Trash-talking workouts, breakdowns, a devastating diagnosis—this heartwarming story of training buddies reveals a deep and abiding friendship that traversed life, sport, and everything in between. Their journey reveals the inspiring power of sports and friendship to change lives forever. 
  Amusing and poignant, Life's Too Short To Go So F*cking Slow is about running and triathlon, growth and heartbreak, and an epic friendship that went the distance.

  This in-depth biography of the outspoken Yankee slugger is “a well-rounded portrait of one of baseball’s most celebrated and controversial figures” (Kirkus Reviews). 
   
  From CBS sportswriter, baseball analyst, and author of Winners: How Good Baseball Teams Become Great Ones, this book presents Reggie Jackson in all his glory—a thrilling, in-depth biography of the Hall of Fame slugger from his childhood to his legendary years with the Yankees and into the twenty-first century. A monumental sports story filled with such stellar baseball names as George Steinbrenner, Billy Martin, Jim “Catfish” Hunter, Thurman Munson, and Bucky Dent, Reggie Jackson is the first to cover the entire twenty-one-season career—from the 1967 Kansas City A’s to the 1987 Oakland A’s—of the colorful, outspoken athlete whom the Sporting News listed as one of the 100 Greatest Baseball Players of all time. 
   
  “Perry teases out the combustible, contradictory, provocative aspects of Jackson’s personality—not to mention his talent for demolishing a baseball—that still make him such an irresistible personality to this day.” —Booklist 
   
  “Dayn Perry, a damn fine writer, brings an insightful, fresh analysis to the career of Mr. October.” —Peter Golenbock, New York Times–bestselling author of George: The Poor Little Rich Boy Who Built the Yankee Empire

  Millions of people watched The Battle of the Sexes in 1973, but no one knew more about the historic tennis match than a 14 year-old boy. While the world s eyes were focused on Bobby Riggs, the self-proclaimed king of male chauvinist pigs, and Billie Jean King, the defender of feminism, Richard Muscio saw the match through the headlines of the day, headlines he had carefully clipped and saved as Bobby Riggs scrapbook maker. 
  Only years later would Muscio realize that Bobby Riggs, the man who said that women should belong in the kitchen, actually made America a more tolerant society. A far cry from your grade school history book, So, What's Your Play? shows how life propelled Muscio to overcome blindness and birth inspired running events. Ultimately, showing how taking action, collaboration and leaving a legacy can change your own life and help build a better, more embracing world.
