  In Riding, Pardis Mahdavi meditates on the lessons learned over a lifetime of horseback riding and the falling, failing, and joy it brings. At once a history of Caspian horses, an exploration of Mahdavi's Iranian-American identity and family history, and a consideration of the capacity for self-reflection and self-compassion through human-animal relationships, Riding offers a roadmap for learning to live in harmony with the self and the environment around us. Mahdavi shows how her relationship with horses gives her insights into intergenerational strength and tools for healing intergenerational trauma. Riding from the mountains of Iran to the beaches of California, Mahdavi shares her love affair with horses, rediscovers a homeland she longs for, and ultimately finds her strength.

  Dr. Huang hates Benjamin. Benjamin threw Dr. Huang out of Homer Memorial Golf & Country Club for being a pervert and having a fluid gender identity for subversive purposes. But Dr. Huang got lucky after Benjamin got knocked out by a stray golf ball. After the trauma, Benjamin ends up in the hospital with a futuristic probe inserted between the hemispheres of his brain-a probe implanted by Dr. Huang. Benjamin awakes in a dream-like environment at the first tee box at Homer Memorial. But only to be challenged to a golf match by the three sisters of fate, Nona, Decima, and Morta. Benjamin has no real chance of beating the supernatural sisters, but the stakes become apparent through a series of questions. Benjamin can earn more shots to his handicap for each hole, but there is a deadly catch: if he lies, he instantly dies by electrocution from Dr. Huang's probe. A deadly match that Benjamin comes to realize is happening inside his mind. Dr. Huang monitors Benjamin's every thought; if he even thinks about lying or misleading the sister of fate, he dies. Benjamin's life is at risk for each hole, and a series of challenges designed by Dr. Huang beyond golf await him. The challenges that examine racism, bigotry, gender dysphoria, and what happened to a crumbling American society and body politic. Will the sisters of fate win the match and Morta cut Benjamin's life short, or will Benjamin adhere to his ethical standard, his par, to fight back for his life? Nathaniel Sewell was born in Lexington, Kentucky. He lives in downtown St. Petersburg, Florida. His novels are about family troubles, political, social issues and the things none of us like to talk about. Hey Man, Where's Dr. Huang? is his sixth novel.

  This book is a combination of titles, which are about the following topics: 
  - Boxing Basics: Boxing is one of the oldest and most celebrated combat sports in history, combining athleticism, strategy, and resilience. Its roots can be traced back to ancient civilizations, where it was practiced as both a form of entertainment and a test of physical prowess. Over time, boxing has evolved into a regulated sport with worldwide recognition, drawing millions of fans and participants alike. 
  - Fencing Fundamentals: During the Middle Ages, fencing became integral to European culture as knights and warriors used swords in battle and duels to resolve disputes. These confrontations emphasized honor and personal defense, laying the groundwork for fencing as an art form. The development of the rapier in the 16th century marked a turning point. 
  - Martial Arts Mastery: Martial arts have a rich history that spans thousands of years, evolving from ancient practices of self-defense and combat into a diverse array of styles and philosophies. The origins of martial arts can be traced to civilizations around the world, with evidence of early techniques and methods seen in ancient Egypt, Greece, China, and India. 
  - The Heart of a Champion: What sets a champion apart from the rest? It’s not just talent, strength, or skill—it’s the mindset. The greatest athletes in history have all shared one thing: an unshakable belief in themselves, an ability to push through challenges, and an unwavering commitment to their goals. A champion’s mindset is built on discipline, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of excellence. 
  I've especially curated these titles and combined them for a higher-value, lower-price kind of deal!

  Ao longo de quase duas décadas, entre 1990 a 2007, tínhamos as duas principais marcas nacionais, que realizavam os principais campeonatos e circuitos nacionais, investiam em pistas e patrocinavam skatistas, que despontam nos campeonatos mundiais subindo ao pódio e levando títulos. Tudo isso inserido em uma ebulição musical e de moda onde o principal público era de adolescentes e jovens, que viam no skate uma forma de expressão. Desde o carrinho até as roupas streetwear, produziam e reproduziam um comportamento e uma identidade própria. Surgiu um estilo de vida, o skate como um lifestyle, e Curitiba reconhecida como a capital do skate brasileiro. A cultura do skate é resiliente, diversa e se reinventa. Desde 1972, quando tudo era desconhecido e novo, os pioneiros do skate paranaense criaram as referências. A nossa essência começou ali. E o skate passou de mão em mão, evoluiu de geração para geração. A criatividade e a liberdade movem nossa história do skate. É o que buscamos expressar neste livro.
