Summary

"Archery Masters" presents a comprehensive exploration of competitive archery's evolution, focusing on the three pillars that define excellence in the sport: biomechanical precision, psychological mastery, and technological advancement. The book uniquely weaves together historical developments, from archery's transition from military application to its Olympic reintroduction in 1972, with practical insights from championship moments and elite athletes who have shaped modern competitive archery.

 
Through detailed case studies and previously unpublished training logs, the book examines how champion archers combine physical prowess with mental fortitude to achieve remarkable accuracy under pressure. The narrative is enriched by motion capture analysis, wind tunnel testing data, and extensive interviews with athletes, coaches, and equipment developers, providing readers with evidence-based insights into high-level performance.

 
This interdisciplinary approach connects archery to sports psychology, physics, and biomechanics, offering valuable lessons for both competitive archers and sports enthusiasts. The book progresses logically through three major sections, beginning with fundamental techniques demonstrated by champions, moving to mental preparation and competition psychology, and concluding with an analysis of equipment evolution.

 
Written in an accessible yet technical style, it serves both as a historical record and a practical manual, making complex concepts understandable while maintaining scientific rigor. Whether readers are Olympic aspirants or curious spectators, they'll gain a deeper appreciation for the measured application of physical skill, mental discipline, and technical understanding that defines elite archery.

    Studies prove that positive thinkers are happier, healthier, and more successful than everyone else. Discover the simple, proven techniques for becoming a more positive person . . . 
     
     
     
    Positive thinking leads to positive outcomes. Study after study proves this. Researchers have found that optimistic people live longer, live healthier, have more energy, have more successful careers, make better decisions, are more productive, are less stressed, have healthier relationships, and (not surprisingly) are much happier than pessimists. 
     
     
     
    However, a lot has been misunderstood about what it means to be a positive thinker and what it takes to maintain an optimistic mindset. It takes a lot more than repeating feel-good platitudes to make positive thinking work in your life. It takes discipline, commitment, and a proper understanding of what optimism really means in a world that is constantly throwing new challenges at us. 
     
     
     
    This is a book for anyone who has ever questioned whether positive thinking really "works." 
     
     
     
    It's also a book for those who have tried to develop a more positive attitude, but have found it difficult to eliminate the voices of fear, doubt, and cynicism.

    This audiobook includes a foreword read by Ben's brother and fellow international rugby player, Tom Youngs, as well as a bonus audio-exclusive conversation between the two brothers.In his unique, touching and honest memoir, rugby union legend Ben Youngs bares it all for the first time.Ben Youngs has had a dream career. He was born into rugby royalty and has achieved incredible success with both his family club, Leicester Tigers, and the English men's national team, for whom he is the most capped player of all time. His is an on-field legacy that any rugby player would envy.But there’s more to his story than meets the eye.In this deeply intimate memoir, the English rugby legend reveals how his remarkable record on the pitch masks what was, at times, a turbulent life off it. There have been highs: the 2019 World Cup final; a record-equaling eighteen-match unbeaten streak under Eddie Jones; finding friendship, brotherhood and a home at Leicester Tigers. But there have also been lows: losing two family members to terminal illnesses within a year; withdrawing from the Lions tour in 2017; falling out of love with rugby.In Beyond the Line, the five-time Premiership champion and member of the 2013 winning Lions test tour shares his full story with the public. With remarkable candour, wit and warmth, he writes of how his relationship with rugby proved pivotal to his healing process and vividly recounts the raucous nights and spontaneous adventures that only those within the inner circle typically get to witness. Inspirational and open, his story reveals not just the pressures of competition, but also the camaraderie and wild experiences that come with a life in rugby.

    Every fall, six men return to a remote cabin in the woods of northern Maine. 
    They come to hunt, to work, to sit by the fire, and to keep a tradition alive—one passed down not just through family, but through time spent on land that asks to be treated with care. 
     
    What begins as another familiar season changes when a wounded deer leads one of them into ground that has been quiet for more than a century. Hidden in stone and shadow is a truth the land has protected through silence—human lives caught between hope and history, waiting where freedom once passed north. 
     
    As the discovery unfolds, the men are faced with a choice: preserve the secret as it is, or allow the past to finally speak. What follows is not a rush toward answers, but a careful reckoning—with legacy, responsibility, and the difference between ownership and stewardship. 
     
    This is not a story about hunting trophies or buried treasure. 
    It is a story about restraint. 
    About listening. 
    About knowing when to act—and when to leave things exactly where they are. 
     
    Blending wilderness realism with quiet historical mystery, this novel explores the unseen paths of the Underground Railroad, the weight of inherited land, and the ways memory survives when it is honored rather than exposed. 
     
    In the end, the land keeps its secrets. 
    But those who learn to listen are changed forever.

  • Peak Bagging Munros Volume 1 - Highlands & southern Cairngorms: 64 routes designed to complete the 141 southerly Munros in the most efficient way - cover

    Over 130 years ago, mountaineer Sir Hugh Munro published the first list of Munros – Scottish mountains with a height over 3,000 feet – and inspired the hobby of Munro 'bagging', a pastime which combines rugged adventure on a personal and literal journey around the Scottish Highlands with a nerdy compulsion to maintain a ticklist.
    Peak Bagging Munros Volume 1 by Nicola Hardy (Munroist number 6,765) features 64 routes designed to link up the 141 most southerly Munros so you can enjoy the challenge of 'compleating' them at your own pace – over years, months or, in rare cases, even just a few weeks. It presents not only the most efficient routes, but does so in such a way that each route is a fantastic walk or run in its own right. The featured routes include the iconic Ring of Steall and Ben Nevis via the Carn Mòr Dearg Arête, alongside classic entry-level walks up the likes of Ben Chonzie, Ben Lomond in Loch Lomond and the Trossachs and Mount Keen in the Cairngorms.
    To assist you in building an itinerary, the routes are split into ten Highland hubs which include Glencoe, Fort William, Braemar and Pitlochry. These are chosen to be easy to access and with decent public transport links to help you make environmentally sustainable choices when you can. Base yourself in a Highland hub for a long weekend or a lengthier stay, springboard to Munro routes from each hub and return to access the recommended local facilities including shops, pubs and cafes.
    In addition, the book is packed with useful information, including 1:40,000 scale maps, elevation profiles, route directions, public transport and parking details, refreshments, downloadable GPX files for each route, and custom timings for walkers, trekkers, fastpackers and runners. Along with stunning photography, there are rest day suggestions, accommodation ideas to suit multiple budgets and a series of supportive indices through which you can find suitable walks, whatever your current level of hillwalking experience.
    Whatever your timescale for compleating Scotland's Munros, Peak Bagging Munros Volume 1 is the indispensable guide to this Scottish hill challenge.
