  Author and master storyteller Stephen Sautner narrates this special immersive audio edition of his modern angling classic complete with music and ambient sound. Through a series of 50 personal essays, each of which worthy of its own podcast, Fish On, Fish Off explores what happens when the self-taught, DIY angler sets out to fish the world–and winds up stumbling into every possible pitfall and danger along the way. These include: getting chased from a river by an elephant, surviving a terrifying helicopter ride over the Straits of Magellan, and breaking his only rod on the second cast in Cuba’s Bay of Pigs. Closer to home, he is swept off a jetty by a rogue wave, winds up in an emergency room more than once with fishing lures hanging from various parts of his anatomy, and perhaps most daunting, surviving 30 years of the scrum better known as opening day of trout season in his crowded home state of New Jersey. These stories of heartbreak, terror, and triumph transcend beyond fishing, and make for excellent listening for angler and non-angler alike.

  Michail Antonio wants you to know what it actually feels like to earn a living from playing professional football. 
  Michail Antonio has been around the block and done the hard yards, breaking through the tough way, via grassroots non-league football not through an Academy – a testament to his resilience and commitment. 
  He wants you to know the truth of existing in a world where professional football and ‘real life’ collide. What happens when life inevitably gets in the way and has a negative impact on performance? What is it like to feel the full dehumanising force of his harshest online critics and yet still be expected to perform as if he doesn’t have a care in the world? 
  With intelligence and thoughtfulness, his book uncovers this unique way of earning a living, peeling back its layers and charting the daily realities. 
  He wants to show you the very ‘human’ aspects of life as an elite sportsperson, good and bad – the parts of the job that the fans don’t see or even consider. 
  More than anything, though, Michail Antonio would like you to see professional footballers as humans, not robots. 
  Part biography, part autobiography, HUMANS NOT ROBOTS is a non-fiction soccer story rooted in recreation and the social realities that shape performance. It’s a cultural look at discrimination and the pressure of being judged online, told with the latest, best insights from someone who’s lived it.

  ""Kilian Jornet is the most dominating endurance athlete of his generation.""—NEW YORK TIMES 
  ""Inspiring and humbling""— ALEX HONNOLD 
   
  The most accomplished mountain runner of all time contemplates his record-breaking climbs of Mount Everest in this profound memoir—an intellectual and spiritual journey that moves from the earth’s highest peak to the soul’s deepest reaches. 
   
  Kilian Jornet has broken nearly every mountaineering record in the world and twice been named National Geographic Adventurer of the Year. In 2018 he summitted Mount Everest twice in one week—without the help of bottled oxygen or ropes. 
  As he recounts a life spent studying and ascending the greatest peaks on earth, Jornet ruminates on what he has found in nature—simplicity, freedom, and spiritual joy—and offers a poetic yet clearheaded assessment of his relationship to the mountain . . . at times his opponent, at others, his greatest inspiration.

  Rugby Was F***ing Better When -...

  According to legend and a cursory look at Google, rugby was created in 1823. When William Webb Ellis allegedly picked up the ball, and ran with it, rugby was born. How true this is, we don't know. But what we can almost guarantee is that no matter how the game started, even after just one day of the sport being invented, some people will have said that it was better in the f***ing old days.
  As progressive as rugby has become (both on and off the field) many feel that rugby 'yesterday' was better than rugby today. But do the stats back this up? Do the ill-informed opinions of the book's author back that up? This book examines various aspects of the game, and judges whether rugby's best days are behind, or ahead of it.
  Let the debate commence . . .
  Hilarious, off-beat and (surprisingly) insightful, this is the perfect gift for rugby fans all around the world.
