  Peter Alliss was a truly monumental figure in the world of golf. His voice was the soundtrack to many who have paid even the scantest attention to the old game. This book records Peter's vivid recollections of a life well lived, looking back on his double-edged career in sport and media, one that is unlike any other and is surely never to be repeated.
  Sit back and listen to Peter Alliss do what he did best: ramble on about this and that in that famous voice of his, drawing sharp and funny observations from disparate quarters of life before inevitably tying everything neatly together and returning to the subject of golf. His memory for long-passed names and distant places remained extraordinarily sharp.
  He was also a man of his age which, naturally, meant there were more than a few facets of modern life he found confusing and exasperating. This, however, is surely true for any of us who have lived beyond the point where we wake up each day wondering what we ought to do with our lives.
  He appreciated his good fortune at being able to make a living from his 'ramblings' while, at the same time, possessing an acute awareness of his rare talent for finding the appropriate word or phrase while winging it over a television picture. His belief that, sometimes, silence is more eloquent than words flies in the noisy face of much modern broadcasting. He was all the more appreciated by many of us for sticking to this conviction and for daring to hold firm in the face of changing convention. Peter is gone now, but the spirit of kindness in which he lived his life reverberates still.

  The Science of Speed -...

  Sprinting and marathon running are two of the most demanding yet contrasting disciplines in athletics. While both require exceptional physical and mental conditioning, the fundamental difference lies in how the body generates and sustains energy. Sprinters rely on explosive power and short bursts of speed, whereas marathoners must master endurance, pacing, and energy conservation over long distances. Understanding the mechanics of speed and endurance is essential for athletes looking to push their limits and optimize their performance. 
  The human body consists of two primary types of muscle fibers: fast-twitch and slow-twitch. Sprinters predominantly utilize fast-twitch fibers, which generate rapid and powerful contractions but fatigue quickly. These fibers enable the quick acceleration and high-speed bursts necessary for short-distance races. Marathon runners, on the other hand, rely more on slow-twitch fibers, which are highly resistant to fatigue and support prolonged, steady-state activity. The composition of these fibers is partly genetic, but with proper training, athletes can develop their muscles to better suit their chosen discipline. 
  Another key difference between sprinting and endurance running is how the body produces energy. Sprinters depend on anaerobic energy systems, which allow them to generate explosive power without requiring oxygen. This system, fueled primarily by stored creatine phosphate and glycogen, is highly efficient for short efforts but leads to rapid exhaustion. In contrast, marathoners primarily use aerobic energy systems, where oxygen plays a crucial role in breaking down carbohydrates and fats to sustain energy for extended periods. This reliance on aerobic metabolism enables runners to maintain a steady pace without depleting energy reserves too quickly.

  The Voyage of The Aegre - From...

  The Voyage of The Aegre is a dramatic true account of how a plan to sail a little fishing boat from the Highlands of Scotland down the coast to England turned into a trans-oceanic odyssey for Nick and Julie Grainger. It was the 1970s and their simple wooden boat was equipped with none of the aids modern yachts enjoy. Navigation was by sextant and compass, food cooked on a Primus, and weather forecasting by guesswork. Diligent preparation before they set sail eventually saved their lives in the violent storms and dangers they encountered, vividly described in this absorbing narrative. Their capsize at night in a fierce storm south of Tahiti and subsequent survival makes a gripping climax to the story. A born storyteller, the author has produced a stirring tale that ranks among classic sea adventures. 
  From a simpler age of sailing when you were led across oceans by the sun and the stars, this book deserves to join the classics. It is simply a top class read - Paul Heiney, Royal Cruising Club. 
  A terrific adventure - John Ridgway, 1966 North Atlantic rower, Round the World sailor, Adventurer, Author. 
  One of the greatest sailing stories I have ever read - John Quirk, Afloat magazine.
