Sinopsis

"Fastest Athletes" explores the extraordinary achievements of record-breaking athletes in running, cycling, and swimming, revealing the secrets behind their unparalleled speed. It examines how advancements in training methodologies, like data-driven personalized programs, coupled with technological innovations, such as aerodynamic equipment, have redefined the limits of human potential. The book also emphasizes the critical role of sports psychology, highlighting how mental resilience and focus are just as vital as physical prowess. The approach is historical, tracing the evolution of sports, analyzing the scientific principles, and presenting case studies of athletes who exemplify each theme.

 
Did you know that innovations have demonstrably lowered times and forced constant re-evaluation of what constitutes peak performance? Or that early training methodologies were rudimentary compared to today's programs? Each chapter builds upon foundational elements such as biomechanics, exercise physiology, and sports psychology, offering a comprehensive view. Beginning with the fundamentals of speed and power, the book progresses to detailed analyses of training, technology, and psychological strategies, featuring examples from athletes like Usain Bolt and Michael Phelps.

 
Ultimately, "Fastest Athletes" argues that record-breaking speed is a result of optimized training, technological assistance, and mental discipline, offering insights into the future of sports performance.

Out for Air

Olly Todd

Infused with movement, surprise and play, Out for Air presents a unique vision of the built environment, celebrating places where 'the bridges are endless / beyond the cantilever / of reality'. Expansive in scope but intricate in form, a masterclass in precision engineering. Todd rewires T. S. Eliot's Waste Land in his strange, compelling descriptions of the modern city: melting asphalt; a U-turning taxi; a diner swallowed by a sinkhole. In this disorientating landscape the skateboarder-poet is genius loci, the spirit of the place.
From Manhattan's 'silky streets' and the Pacific Coast Highway to inner-city London and his native Cumbria, together these poems record a life lived on the move, in motion, on the cusp of things.
'I'm dazzled by this wonderful debut...The language itself crunches, glides, grinds. A radically different way of experiencing the built and natural environment and an endlessly engaging, witty, serious and astute new voice.' - Luke Kennard
'Out for Air is an inventive and alluring debut...With shades of Kleinzahler and Eliot, these poems explore angles and movement, friendship and distance, in a voice that is genuinely original, graceful and often strange.' - Martha Sprackland
'Through his words a whole world and potential opens up, a distillation of experience that feels universal and intimate.' - Nick Jensen
'Out for Air creates a world of familiarity gone strange, a world of signs of the human in motion, where the living in place becomes its constant study. It makes a hard-to-pin-down language which is all its own, and which mirrors its subjects' international scope, its playful, sometimes arch, worldview, and which announces a wholly original voice.' - Will Burns
