Sinopse

Parkour Efficiency explores how the discipline of parkour can enhance physical efficiency and overall well-being. By examining fundamental movements like jumping, landing, and rolling, the book reveals how these skills, when properly understood, can unlock a more resilient human form. It emphasizes three key elements: efficient movement patterns, risk assessment, and adaptive problem-solving, demonstrating how these principles extend beyond parkour to improve everyday life.

 
It highlights that parkour emerged from military obstacle courses and gymnastics, emphasizing fluid movement and adaptability, requiring minimal reliance on external equipment. The book presents a systematic framework for applying parkour principles, breaking down the underlying mechanics and mental strategies that contribute to efficient movement.

 
Beginning with an introduction to core movements, it progresses to biomechanical analyses and demonstrates how individual movements integrate into complex sequences. Through case studies and exercises, the book illustrates practical applications for improving everyday movement, athletic performance, and injury prevention, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in enhancing their physical literacy and functional fitness.

The Draw of the Sea

Wyl Menmuir

Wyl Menmuir’s The Draw of the Sea is a beautifully written and deeply moving portrait of the Cornish Coast and the people who make their livings there, examining the ephemeral but universal pull the sea holds over the human imagination.‘A beautiful portrait of lives shaped by the swell of ocean and tide - a powerful salt-thread of connection’ -  Raynor Winn, author of The Salt Path Since the earliest stages of human development, the sea has fascinated and entranced us. It feeds us, sustaining communities and providing livelihoods, but it also holds immense destructive power which can take all those away in an instant.   It connects us to far away places, offering the promise of new lands and voyages of discovery, but also shapes our borders, carving divisions between landmasses and eroding the very ground beneath our feet. In this beautifully-written meditation on what it is that draws us to the waters' edge, author Wyl Menmuir tells the stories of the people whose lives revolve around the sea in the Cornish community where he lives. In twelve interlinked chapters, Menmuir explores the lives of local fishermen steeped in the rich traditions of a fishing community, the beachcombers who wander the shores in search of the varied objects which wash ashore and the stories they tell, and all number of others who have made their lives on the beautiful Cornwall coast.  In the specifics of these livelihoods and their rich histories and traditions, Wyl Menmuir captures the universal human connection to the sea. Into this seductive tapestry, Wyl weaves the story of how the sea has beckoned, consoled and restored him. This book is a meaningful and moving work into how we interact with the environment around us, and how it comes to shape the course of our lives. As unmissable as it is compelling, as profound as it is personal, this must-read book will delight anyone familiar with the intimate and powerful pull which the sea holds over us.
