Beschreibung

Cave Gear Guide offers a comprehensive look into the world of speleological equipment, emphasizing the critical role that standardized gear plays in caving safety. Unlike general outdoor sports, caving presents unique challenges, requiring equipment specifically designed for extreme underground conditions. The book addresses the vital need for cavers to understand and adhere to international equipment standards, moving beyond the assumption that any outdoor gear is suitable for cave exploration. One intriguing fact is that many accidents are directly linked to equipment failure or misuse, highlighting the importance of proper gear selection and maintenance.

 
The guide progresses logically, starting with the historical evolution of caving gear and moving through core concepts like load ratings and material fatigue. Individual chapters then delve into various equipment categories, such as ropes, helmets, and lighting, providing detailed overviews of relevant standards and testing protocols. This approach bridges the gap between technical specifications and practical application, ensuring cavers of all levels can make informed decisions.

 
Ultimately, Cave Gear Guide aims to promote a culture of safety within the caving community by providing a solid foundation of knowledge.

    An absolutely essential book for every modern football fan, about the development of Premier League tactics, published to coincide with 25 years of the competition. 
    Back in 1992, English football was stuck in the dark ages, emerging from a five-year ban from European competition. The game was physical, bruising and attritional, based on strength over speed, aggression over finesse. It was the era of the midfield general, reducers, big men up front and getting it in the mixer; 4-4-2 was the order of the day. Few teams experimented tactically. 
    And then, almost overnight, it all changed. The creation of the Premier League coincided with one of the most seismic rule changes in football history: the abolition of the back-pass. Suddenly defenders had no-get-out-of-jail-free card, goalkeepers had to be able to field and play the ball and the pace of the game quickened immeasurably. Tactics evolved dramatically, helped by an increased foreign influence. 
    The Mixer is the first book to delve deep into the tactical story of the Premier League, and take a long view of how the game has developed over the last quarter century. From Ferguson’s directness to Keegan’s relentlessly attacking Newcastle outfit, to Mourinho’s cagey, reactive Chelsea, all the way to Ranieri’s counter-attacking champions, The Mixer is one of the most entertaining, rich and knowledgeable football books ever written. 
    The Mixer by Michael Cox is a bestseller that delves into the evolution of Premier League tactics. It's a sports book that stands out for its detailed analysis of coaching strategies and the transformation of soccer over the years. 
    For fans of Jonathan Wilson (The Names Heard Long Ago), James Tippett (The Expected Goals Philosophy), Tifo - The Athletic (How To Watch Football), Dan Blank (ROOKIE), and Stefan Szymanski (It's Football, Not Soccer).

    A Life-Changing Book About the Power of FEARLESS Thinking 
     
     
     
    You will never achieve any important goal until you first defeat the fears that stand between you and that goal—the fears that say it's too risky, you don't deserve it, or you're not good enough. 
     
     
     
    In fact, fearful thinking is one of the most destructive thought patterns you can fall into. Whenever you find yourself worrying, procrastinating, or questioning your potential—FEAR is getting the best of you. 
     
     
     
    In this inspirational fable, Mickey McGavin is a pro boxer struggling to overcome the fears that are holding him back—in the ring and in life. With the help of a former world champion who becomes his trainer and mentor, McGavin learns he must defeat the fears in his mind before he can defeat his opponents in the ring. 
     
     
     
    Boxing is the metaphor for life in this story, but the techniques used for defeating fear are universal. 
     
     
     
    No matter your goal, FEAR is your ultimate opponent, and this book will show you how to defeat the fears that hold you back from living the life you were born to live. 
     
     
     
    Listen to this life-changing book and discover why victory—in sports, in business, and in life—always favors the fearless.

    Sports Phone set out to change the way scores and breaking news were consumed, and in turn ended up setting the tone for the up-to-the-second updates we take for granted today. Found among those who called the service home are some of the most well-known broadcasters, reporters, public address announcers, and other prominent media figures — as well as several who’ve been successful in Hollywood and the music industry. A veritable breeding ground for these now-polished professionals, the dial-up platform that once handled 50 million calls in a year churned out talent at a level likely not seen before or since. 
    Brought to you by media veterans Scott Orgera and Sports Phone alum Howie Karpin, 976-1313: How Sports Phone Launched Careers and Broke New Ground features never-before-told tales of triumph and tragedy, a mix of hilarity, inspiration, and regret from the broadcasting hopefuls and sports junkies that comprised the brains and voices behind the pioneering operation. If you were assembling an All-Star team of media personnel, you’d only have to look as far as Sports Phone’s ranks. 
    As colorful as that cast of characters was, those who dialed 976-1313 regularly had their own yarns to spin. They form a tapestry of hardcore fans, award-winning actors, well-known comedians, impulsive gamblers, Broadway singers, and infamous mobsters, each with captivating stories told within these pages. 
    With 75 years of collective experience between them, Karpin and Orgera interviewed more than a hundred people en route to creating what is a must-read. 
    Much of what we see and hear today was started by Sports Phone, and this tome covers untapped historical territory from every angle, kicked off with a compelling foreword written by revered broadcaster Kenny Albert.

    Jeff Van Gundy. Brad Stevens. Frank Vogel. Mike Budenholzer. Tom Thibodeau. Sam Presti. Leon Rose. Before you knew his name, before he guided your team to a championship, he had a playing career of his own at an NCAA Division III college. He didn't play for fortune—the NBA was out of reach, and his school didn't even give athletic scholarships. He didn't play for fame—his games weren't televised, and the stands were rarely full. Whatever the motivation, he simply couldn't give up the game of basketball. And that didn't change after graduation, when it was time to pick a career path. 
     
     
     
    For the first time in league history, NBA coaches and general managers are just as likely to have played Division III basketball as they are to have played in the NBA. While the number of former D3 players working in the NBA is higher than ever, small college alums have served in leadership positions since the league's founding. They shaped the NBA into what it is today, playing integral roles in the Lakers' initial success in LA, the inception of several expansion franchises, the creation of the popular All-Star Weekend dunk contest, and the globalization of the league. Their improbable and inspiring journeys tell a bigger story—the history of small college athletics, the evolution of coaching and management in the NBA, and the hiring practices in the most competitive fields.
