  In April 2014 Mark Horrell went on a mountaineering expedition to Nepal, hoping to climb Lhotse, the fourth-highest mountain in the world, which shares a base camp and climbing route with Mount Everest. 
  He dreamed of following in the footsteps of Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary, by climbing through the infamous ice maze of the Khumbu Icefall, and he yearned to sleep in the grand amphitheatre of Everest Base Camp, surrounded by towering peaks. 
  He was also intrigued by the media publicity surrounding commercial expeditions to Everest. He wanted to discover for himself whether it had become the circus that everybody described. 
  But when a devastating avalanche swept across the Khumbu Icefall, he got more than he bargained for. Suddenly he found himself witnessing the greatest natural disaster Everest had ever seen. 
  And that was just the start. Everest Sherpas came out in protest, issuing a list of demands to the Government of Nepal. What happened next left his team confused, bewildered and fearing for their safety.

  Defeat is not in the athlete’s vocabulary.  It is in their spirit. 
  How have sports evolved from a healthy expression of talent and prowess into a relentless vortex that grinds that talent into the athlete’s internal, secret defeat?  Anymore, this truth is like watching a funnel cloud develop before it advances into an F-5 tornado.  Most of us recognize it.  Most of us talk about it.  But few are willing to acknowledge and heed its warning. 
  1000% is the book that will take you into the aftermath of this reality.  It is not intended to diminish the brilliance and opportunity that sports provide.  Not at all.  This book will reconstruct the life of the athlete and expose the destructive forces that contribute to this concealed sense of defeat, fear, and mental health issues that many athletes secretly battle.  This book will also lead the athlete into a powerful revelation of their purpose as it provides answers for their hidden fears and sets them on a path to understand and overcome these adverse forces. 
  If you are an athlete, this book is for you.  The message woven throughout these pages is intended to reach you, offer understanding, and provide help.  These words will perhaps be your voice and weapon against an enemy that is trying to steal your identity, claim your spirit, and ultimately defeat you.  But… 
  THE VICTORY BELONGS TO YOU!

  Shortlisted for the Sunday Times Cricket Book of the Year 2023  Jazbaa - Definition: spirit, feeling, passion, desire, sentiment, emotion  In 1996, Shaiza Khan led a Pakistan team on a tour of New Zealand and Australia. While the tour was a failure on the cricketing front, the singular act of eleven women wearing flannels and battling for victory in the faraway antipodes was a significant achievement. These women had – individually and collectively – worked to throw off the shackles of social and cultural decrees that had conspired to keep Pakistani women away from sport for years. Even more importantly, these players were harbingers of change who became heroic role models for women back home and all around the world.  Unveiling Jazbaa tells the story of Pakistan’s women’s cricket, detailing the extraordinary journey the players have been on to bring about change both in their country and in the sport itself.  This is a tale told through the lens of society and politics, of personal battles and triumphs against the odds, of friendships and rivalries, of favours and revenge. Above all else, it is story of bravery and unerring will and a moving testimony to power of the human spirit.  Foreword by Kamila Shamsie  'Compelling, ambitious, beautifully written and about so much more than cricket' – Tim Wigmore, The Telegraph and author of the multiple award-winning Cricket 2.0

  Arnold Rothstein and the 1919...

  Editors Charles River

  In the early 20th century, one of the most integral members of the criminal underworld was Arnold Rothstein, the archetype of the old school mobster. He was intelligent, charming, well-spoken, grotesquely wealthy, and a sharp dresser, often pictured with a patterned bowtie and a flat-top fedora snugly fit over his receding hairline. And yet, he was nothing like the stereotypical mobster; Arnold was not a drinker or smoker, and he was not one to be tempted by illicit substances. He was a notorious high roller, with pockets holding wads of $100 bills, but to the casual eye, he was just another dapper, well-mannered gentleman who frequented the tracks and casinos after a long day at the office. 
  Today, Rothstein is remembered for his murky association with the most notorious event in the history of American sports: the fixing of the 1919 World Series by the Chicago White Sox. The White Sox were favored 5:1 to beat the Cincinnati Reds, and for the first time since 1903, the Series would be a best-of-nine format. However, at a time when players were treated as second class, some sought a payday beyond what they made in the leagues, and the White Sox players were some of the most poorly paid in the league. The owner of the team, Charles A. Comiskey, was one of the cheapest owners in the game. 
  Around two weeks before the World Series, Chicago first baseman Chick Gandil met with a gambler in his Boston hotel room. During that meeting, Gandil told Joseph Sullivan that for $100,000, he and other members of the White Sox were willing to take a dive and make sure that the Reds won the World Series. Gandil was able to convince the team’s top two pitchers to go along with the plan, as well as five other players. With that, the plan to throw the World Series was put in motion, and rumors began to spread around the country prior to the start of the series as gamblers wagered large sums of money on the Reds.
