Wavewalker: THE INTERNATIONAL...

Suzanne Heywood

THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER 
A TIMES BEST MEMOIR OF 2023 
‘Grippingly vivid and pacey’ THE TIMES 
‘A seven-year old girl on a seventy-foot yacht, for ten years, over fifty thousand miles of sailing’ SIMON WINCHESTER 
‘A seven-year old girl on a seventy-foot yacht, for ten years, over fifty thousand miles of sailing … a fantastic story of a truly Odyssean journey across all the world’s great oceans – but is also the inspiring story of the developing of a restless and inquiring mind’ SIMON WINCHESTER 
'An astonishing almost day-by-day account of [a] hazardous journey and its legacy’ TELEGRAPH 
‘This is a story of an epic childhood journey, so exciting and so shocking it is hard to know whether you’re reading about a dream or a nightmare… Wavewalker is thrilling, horrifying, beautifully written – I couldn’t put it down’ ED BALLS 
Aged just seven, Suzanne Heywood set sail with her parents and brother on a three-year voyage around the world. What followed turned instead into a decade-long way of life, through storms, shipwrecks, reefs and isolation, with little formal schooling. No one else knew where they were most of the time and no state showed any interest in what was happening to the children. 
Suzanne fought her parents, longing to return to England and to education and stability. This memoir covers her astonishing upbringing, a survival story of a child deprived of safety, friendships, schooling and occasionally drinking water… At seventeen Suzanne earned an interview at Oxford University and returned to the UK. 
From the bestselling author of What Does Jeremy Think?, Wavewalker is the incredible true story of how the adventure of a lifetime became one child’s worst nightmare – and how her determination to educate herself enabled her to escape 
‘A classic memoir of childhood. This is a book that every parent should read to consider the consequences of their midlife crises, and every child should read to learn how to deal with impossible mums and dads, as well as boils and barnacles’ Mail on Sunday 5* 
‘An electrifying story about an extraordinary childhood, and Heywood tells it with remarkable clarity and assurance . . . an engrossing book that pitches the reader into the highs and lows of a young life spent in the “Wavewalker School of the Sea”’TLS

The Science of Speed -...

Zane Ryder

Sprinting and marathon running are two of the most demanding yet contrasting disciplines in athletics. While both require exceptional physical and mental conditioning, the fundamental difference lies in how the body generates and sustains energy. Sprinters rely on explosive power and short bursts of speed, whereas marathoners must master endurance, pacing, and energy conservation over long distances. Understanding the mechanics of speed and endurance is essential for athletes looking to push their limits and optimize their performance.
The human body consists of two primary types of muscle fibers: fast-twitch and slow-twitch. Sprinters predominantly utilize fast-twitch fibers, which generate rapid and powerful contractions but fatigue quickly. These fibers enable the quick acceleration and high-speed bursts necessary for short-distance races. Marathon runners, on the other hand, rely more on slow-twitch fibers, which are highly resistant to fatigue and support prolonged, steady-state activity. The composition of these fibers is partly genetic, but with proper training, athletes can develop their muscles to better suit their chosen discipline.
Another key difference between sprinting and endurance running is how the body produces energy. Sprinters depend on anaerobic energy systems, which allow them to generate explosive power without requiring oxygen. This system, fueled primarily by stored creatine phosphate and glycogen, is highly efficient for short efforts but leads to rapid exhaustion. In contrast, marathoners primarily use aerobic energy systems, where oxygen plays a crucial role in breaking down carbohydrates and fats to sustain energy for extended periods. This reliance on aerobic metabolism enables runners to maintain a steady pace without depleting energy reserves too quickly.

A Grand Slam for God - A Journey...

Burke Masters, Mike Sweeney

Burke Masters had the perfect game plan for his life: he was going to become a Major League Baseball player. As a star infielder for Mississippi State with a game-winning grand slam to help his team reach the College World Series, he was well on his way to the career of his dreams. But little did he know that his life-changing call would not be from a recruiter to join the Major Leagues—it would be from God to become a priest.  
In this page-turning memoir, Fr. Burke takes readers on an intimate personal journey—from his childhood outside of Chicago, to his success in baseball, to his conversion to Catholicism, and finally, to his acceptance of his vocation. Amid severe doubt and personal loss, he learned to embrace his fundamental identity—not as an athlete, but as a beloved son of God and a spiritual father to God’s people. Fr. Burke’s story is a powerful reminder that God’s plan for us is so much greater than our own; that it fulfills our dreams in ways greater than we could have imagined; and that if we only have the courage to say yes, every moment is an opportunity for a grand slam for God.
