Sinopsis

'Snooker Masters' delivers a comprehensive exploration of professional snooker's evolution, delving into the technical mastery, psychological resilience, and scientific principles that define the sport's elite competitors. From its humble beginnings in British officers' mess halls to today's high-stakes tournaments, the book reveals how champions like Joe Davis, who claimed 15 consecutive World Championships, helped establish the fundamental techniques that shape modern play.

 
The narrative unfolds across three distinctive sections, beginning with snooker's technical evolution from basic potting to sophisticated positional strategies. Through detailed case studies and expert analysis, readers gain insights into the mental fortitude required at the professional level, exemplified by legends Steve Davis and Stephen Hendry during their dominant periods in the 1980s and 1990s.

 
The book's final section examines contemporary developments in training methods and equipment technology, supported by statistical data from major championships and frame-by-frame tactical analyses. What sets this work apart is its multidisciplinary approach, connecting snooker to physics, psychology, and sports science through practical examples and real match situations.

 
Whether you're a competitive player seeking to improve your game or an enthusiast interested in the sport's technical depths, the book offers accessible explanations enhanced by detailed diagrams of break-building patterns and strategic play. This analytical yet approachable examination of snooker's professional era provides valuable insights for players, fans, and sports historians alike.

    One of the most dominant college wrestlers in history, Ben Askren became a folk hero during the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, before going on to become a multiple time MMA champion and one of the sport's biggest stars. 
     
     
     
    Here, in Funky, this record-breaking wrestler and polarizing UFC fighter shares how he came to dominate opponents while blazing a trail through competitors in unprecedented ways. Not blessed with natural athleticism, he revolutionized folkstyle wrestling by innovating his own technique, which earned him the famous nickname, "Funky." 
     
     
     
    What ensued was an improbable takeover of combat sports by a firebrand who defied tradition, becoming the University of Missouri's first ever national champion while twice winning the prestigious Dan Hodge trophy. Now, Askren opens up about how he bucked convention, how he used his wrestling base to seize the world of cage-fighting, and how he eventually forced UFC president Dana White to end their decade-long public feud via a historic trade. 
     
     
     
    Love him or hate him, win or lose, Ben Askren showed what determination means by staying true to one of his earliest revelations on the mats:  "I was never going to let anybody outwork me."

    Hidden Mountains - Survival and...

    The story of a climbing adventure gone wrong in a remote Alaskan mountain range, the impossible rescue attempt that followed, and the fraught cost of survival 
    In 2018, two couples set out on a climbing expedition to Alaska’s Hidden Mountains, one of the last wild ranges in North America. A rarity in modern climbing, the peaks were nearly unexplored and untouched, a place where few people had ever visited and granite spires still awaited first ascents. Inspired by generations of daring alpinists before them, the four climbers were now compelled to strike out into uncharted territory themselves. 
    This trip to the Hidden Mountains would be the culmination of years of climbing together, promising to test the foursome’s skill and dedication to the sport. But as the climbers would soon discover, no amount of preparation can account for the unknowns of true wilderness. As they neared the top of an unclimbed peak, rockfall grievously injured one of the climbers while he was out of sight, leaving him stranded and in critical condition. 
    Over the course of the next nine hours, the other three climbers worked to reach their companion. What followed was a pulse-pounding rescue attempt by Alaska’s elite Pararescuers in one of the most remote regions in the country—raising difficult questions about wilderness accessibility, technology’s role in outdoor adventure, and what it means to weigh risk against the siren song of the mountains. 
    With visceral prose, Michael Wejchert recounts the group’s rescue and traces the scars left in the wake of life-altering trauma. Weaving the history and evolution of rock and alpine climbing with outside tales of loss and survival in the mountains, Wejchert gives a full picture of the reward—and cost—of following your passions in the outdoors.
