Sinossi

'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.

    31 Days - A zero-bullsh*t...

    'I love Allie Bailey – she has the unique ability to make you feel like anything is possible when it comes to running.' – Bryony Gordon 
     
    31 Days follows up on ultrarunner Allie Bailey’s searingly honest autobiography There is No Wall. 
     
    It takes the final chapter of that book which was the self-help rant you didn’t think you were buying and supercharges it, creating something relatable and tangible that you can actually take into your day-to-day life and make a lasting difference. While There is No Wall clearly said running won’t save you, perhaps this book will, with its zero-bullsh*t approach to mindset mentoring, and tools and exercises that enable you to do the work and create incredible results. 
     
    Whatever it is you’re struggling with – running, career, relationship – Allie draws on her lived experience as an award-winning coach, runner, depressive and recovering alcoholic, to show you how you can change things in yourself that you didn’t think it was possible to change. And not just for one training block, one race or for a few weeks, but for the rest of your life. 
     
    Split into thirty-one easy-to-digest chapters – one a day – it is a handbook, a companion on a journey with no end. But be warned, this book contains no quick fixes – it is down to you to do the work. 
    It’s never too late to change, you’re not ‘just the way you are’, and it’s never too late to tell that doubting voice you have lived with for decades to kindly go f@*k itself.

As one of a new cohort of young drivers seeking to assert their dominance in the sport, Lando is a uniquely modern sportsman, who celebrates learning and personal development, but who nonetheless has the killer instinct required to take him to the very pinnacle of F1.
    
    In Lando Norris, motor sport aficionado and journalist Ben Hunt draws on his extensive driver and paddock access to seek to understand what makes Lando tick and examines how this young British driver has been well and truly raised in the mould of a champion.
