Summit Team Success

Summary

Summit Team Success explores the crucial role of teamwork in high-stakes environments, using mountaineering expeditions as a prime example. The book argues that successful climbs hinge on team dynamics, particularly distributed leadership and adaptive communication, rather than solely on individual skill. By analyzing records from the Alpine Club, the book reveals that teams which decentralize decision-making and adjust communication strategies based on changing conditions are more likely to succeed. This approach challenges the traditional emphasis on individual heroism, highlighting collective effort in overcoming extreme challenges.

 
The book progresses by introducing the core concepts of distributed leadership and adaptive communication, then delves into case studies of landmark expeditions to illustrate these concepts in real-world scenarios. Each case study examines pre-expedition planning, in-situ decision-making, and post-expedition evaluations.

 
The book moves from analysis to application, offering practical guidelines for building high-performance teams applicable in various fields, from business to emergency response. Through historical analysis and empirical data, Summit Team Success provides evidence-based recommendations for team strategies and leadership.

The Tennis Champion Who Escaped...

Felice Hardy

'A fabulous story guaranteed to capture people’s imagination' Mail on Sunday 
'Stunningly descriptive, compelling writing. I was moved close to tears on several occasions.' Peter James, international bestselling crime writer 
In 1930, at the age of twenty-seven, Liesl Herbst was the Austrian National Tennis Champion, a celebrity in Vienna. Liesl, her husband David and their daughter Dorli came to Britain after escaping the Nazis. 
In London, though initially stripped of their Austrian passports and rendered stateless aliens, both Liesl and her daughter Dorli competed at Wimbledon. They remain the only mother and daughter ever to have played doubles together at Wimbledon. 
This moving story of escape and survival is told by Liesl’s grand-daughter, Dorli’s daughter. Some of the story, the author heard first-hand from her grandmother; the rest, she has meticulously researched over many years in four countries. It is as much a search for the author’s own identity as for her own children and grandchildren to ensure that their remarkable family history is never lost again. 
Illustrated throughout with family photographs and original documents, this is a story of survival against terrible odds, an inspiring tale of resilience and hope.

World Cup Fever - A Soccer...

Simon Kuper

The story of how soccer has transformed the world—as seen through nine World Cups—by one of our most talented writers on the sport. 
The World Cup is the biggest sporting spectacle on Earth—a chance every four years for the greatest players to win international glory, and a month-long media event that's watched by an audience of billions.But the tournament has changed beyond recognition since the inaugural event in Montevideo, Uruguay, in July 1930. What was once a semi-professional meeting beset by haphazard play has evolved to become a game of multinational buyouts, dubious ethics, and questionable aims—and the new era of soccer has much to tell us about the globalized world.Simon Kuper is among the vanishingly small number of writers who have attended every World Cup since 1990. World Cup Fever is his journey to find the heart of soccer, through the nine tournaments he's experienced first-hand—from watching matches in half-empty stands during Italia 1990 (a tournament that at times felt like a village fete) to witnessing the French triumph at home in 1998; South Africa's national dream in 2010; and the troubling legacy of Qatar in 2022.Told on the pitch, in the stands, in the pubs, and on the streets, this is the story of how soccer has changed the world.

The Ghosts of NASCAR - The...

John Havick

"A rollicking ride back to the roots of stock car racing in the Midwest." —Journal of American Culture

Named by BookAuthority one of the 22 Best Motorsport eBooks of All Time

Chosen by the American Auto Racing Writers and Broadcasters Association as the second best motorsport book published in 2013

Who won the first Daytona 500? Fans still debate whether it was midwestern champion Johnny Beauchamp, declared the victor at the finish line, or longtime NASCAR driver Lee Petty, declared the official winner a few days after the race. Author John Havick interviewed scores of people, analyzed film of the race, and pored over newspaper accounts of the event. He uses this information and his deep knowledge of the sport as it worked then to determine what probably happened. But he also tells a much bigger story: the story of how Johnny Beauchamp—and his Harlan, Iowa, compatriots, Dale Swanson and Tiny Lund—ended up in Florida driving in the 1959 Daytona race.

The Ghosts of NASCAR details how the Harlan Boys turned to racing cars to have fun and to escape the limited opportunities for poor boys in rural southwestern Iowa. As auto racing became more popular in the 1950s, Swanson, Lund, and Beauchamp battled dozens of rivals and came to dominate the sport in the Midwest. By the later part of the decade, the three men were ready to take on the competition in the South's growing NASCAR circuit. One of the top mechanics of the day, Swanson literally wrote the book on race cars at Chevrolet's clandestine racing shop in Atlanta, Georgia, while Beauchamp and Lund proved themselves worthy competitors. It all came to a head on the brand-new Daytona track in 1959.
