Synopsis

Kayaking Paddle Essentials emphasizes the importance of informed gear selection for a safe and enjoyable kayaking experience. It highlights that choosing the right paddle, personal flotation device (PFD), and watertight storage solutions are crucial for mitigating risks on the water. Paddles have evolved significantly, with modern carbon fiber designs offering superior weight and efficiency compared to older wooden models. Likewise, PFD technology has advanced to provide better buoyancy and comfort. The book explores these three essential components in detail, starting with an introduction to their fundamental principles. It then delves into paddle selection, discussing blade shapes and materials, and offers guidance on matching paddles to different kayaking styles, such as touring and recreational kayaking. A significant portion is dedicated to PFDs, comparing various types and providing advice on proper fitting and maintenance. Watertight storage is also examined, with case studies on different container types and packing strategies to protect essential supplies. By combining manufacturer specifications, expert opinions, and scientific studies, Kayaking Paddle Essentials empowers kayakers with the knowledge to make confident gear choices, enhancing both their safety and overall enjoyment on the water. The book progresses systematically across chapters, building from basic concepts to real-world applications, making it a valuable resource for both novice and experienced kayakers.

    Nick Craig's ground-breaking Helming to Win was published 10 years ago to great reviews: "Many sailing books can be recycles of familiar themes and ideas. Not this one! This is a highly personal and radical, fresh view of the subject area." In the following decade since it was published, Nick has won 10 World, 3 European and 20 National Championships! That's winning more championships than most of us have attended over this period. As an amateur sailor, with a senior full-time job, Nick knows how to make the most of his time on the water. Every race is recorded in his notes, every race builds on his knowledge. This new edition of Helming to Win utilises what he has learnt from those 33 championship wins (and many other less successful events), with new learning, new anecdotes, new photos and additional captions on the photo sequences to ensure the key learnings are easy to take on. This updated breakthrough book will help you make the transition from weekend racer to national champion, just as Nick has done. Covering everything from where to look and getting 'in the groove' to mental approaches and championship sailing, you will be working your way up the leaderboard in no time. Packed full of intelligent insight, brilliant top tips and engaging photo sequences, if your goal is to win then this is the book for you!

    Healthy Gut, Healthy Horse highlights how equine health is influenced by diet and environment. Advances in technology and microbiology have now made it possible to examine the causes of gastro-intestinal diseases and the effects of diet on the health and welfare of horses. Extensive research has found that diseases such as ulcers, equine metabolic syndrome, colic and laminitis are caused by diet. Many of these are preceded by inflammation, which becomes the precursor for feed-related sickness. Authors Carol Hughes, an equine physiotherapist, phyto nutritionist and microbiologist, and Geertje French, an equine nutritionist and behaviourist, explain these factors and, by using the latest valuable research, provide insight, solutions and remedies for the benefit of the wider equestrian community.

    Most know Marvelous Marvin Hagler from his epic battles against Thomas Hearns and John Mugabi and his controversial split-decision loss to Sugar Ray Leonard. But it is his escape from riot-torn Newark in the late 1960s, the unbreakable bond he built with the Petronelli brothers, and his 1980 title fight against Britain's Alan Minter—with its deep racial animus—that captures the real story of Hagler. 
     
    In Blood & Hate, New York Times bestselling author Dave Wedge tells the riveting and inspirational tale of how Hagler overcame incredible odds, joined with Goody and Pat Petronelli to rise through the rigged ranks, and morphed from a fatherless teenager in Brockton, Massachusetts, into Marvelous Marvin Hagler, one of the best boxers ever and arguably the greatest middleweight in history. 
     
    Through exclusive interviews with Bob Arum, the Petronelli and Hagler families, and a who's who of the boxing world, Blood & Hate reveals fascinating details about Hagler's early life as well as the legendary Minter fight, and once and for all delivers the definitive chronicle of Marvelous Marvin Hagler.
