  A timely, illuminating plan for how trans and cis athletes can both fairly play sportsFair Game offers an insightful, timely examination of the ongoing battle for equality in athletics. As LGBTQ athletes break barriers in the Olympics, transgender athletes still face harsh restrictions in many areas. With twenty-four states passing anti-trans sports legislation in the last two years, nearly half of Americans live under laws that restrict or ban transgender individuals from participating in sports. Fair Game explores why taking the next step and increasing the acceptance of trans athletes is important not only for everyone with an Olympic dream but also everyone whose kids just want to join the town soccer league. 
   
  Fair Game explores the role of sports in the lives of transgender youth and adults, offering a comprehensive, nuanced, and multivoiced picture of the transgender athletic experience. Through a woven collection of the narratives from a marginalized population, Fair Game examines the patterns of fear and gender stereotypes that undergird anti-trans legislation and offers helpful historical and political context about sex segregation in sports and how bodies (including trans bodies) work in sports. 
   
  Timely, accessible, inspiring, and rigorous, Fair Game presents a sports landscape beyond our current conceptions, a world changed by unrestricted and joyful movement in sports.

  5 SIMPLE STEPS: SHOOT ANY BOW...

  What if barebow archery didn’t have to be complicated?  
  For decades, archers have been told that accuracy requires expensive equipment, mystical “instinct,” or endless trial‑and‑error. The result? Frustration, inconsistency, and a sport wrapped in dogma.  
  The Vogtland Shooting Method challenges that narrative.  
  This book presents a simple, portable, and brutally effective barebow shooting system that combines the proven strengths of Olympic Recurve Archery with the precision of Stringwalking—while keeping the archer fully in control of the shot.  
  No stabilizers.  
  No sights bolted to the bow.  
  No guesswork.  
  No religion.  
  Just five clear principles you can apply to almost any bow you pick up.  
  Written by competitive barebow archer and engineer Mark Vogt, this book explains why accuracy works the way it does, why many traditional methods struggle with consistency, and how barebow archery can achieve precision that rivals compound bows—without surrendering the shot to equipment.  
  Inside, you’ll discover:  
  • Why barebow archery is a method, not a kind of bow  
  • How elevation control—not instinct—is the key to consistency  
  • Why portable methods outperform fixed equipment  
  • How Olympic‑level principles apply to barebow shooting  
  • Why dogma persists in archery—and how to think past it  
  • A simple mental framework that works from short range to long distance  
  This book was originally created as an audiobook, designed to be listened to while driving or traveling, letting the ideas settle in long before you step onto the range.  
  It’s opinionated.  
  It’s practical.  
  It’s unapologetically skeptical of tradition for tradition’s sake.  
  Most of all, it’s written for archers who want results, not rituals.  
  If you’re ready to question what you’ve been told, simplify your shooting, and take full ownership of every arrow you release, this book was written for you.  
  Barebow archery doesn’t have to be mysterious.  
  It just has to make sense.

  Playing through Pain - The...

  For many fans and casual observers, professional sports and violence are deeply connected. Violence on the field has real consequences for players, notably in the form of life-altering injuries from concussions. Off the field, in the last several decades, scores of athletes have committed violent acts, from domestic abuse and sexual assault to animal abuse and murder. Beyond athletes, sport also serves as a site of political and structural violence, from the displacement and hyperpolicing of everyday people for mega-events to the "sportswashing" of environmentally harmful industries. 
   
   
   
  Daniel Sailofsky examines the endemic violence in professional sports and argues that—while related to masculinity, misogyny, and individual factors like alcohol consumption and gambling—it is most intimately tied to capitalism and to capitalist modes of consumption and profit. Sailofsky explains how capitalism creates the conditions for violence to thrive and uncovers how sports leaders—coaches, league officials, and team owners—obfuscate these relationships to avoid accountability. 
   
   
   
  From minor league baseball exploitation to spectator hooliganism, Sailofsky shows the connections between the business of sports and violence, but also, more importantly, he imagines new forms of sport that are not places of harm.

  What If Saving a Life Didn’t Limit You, but Propelled You to New Heights? 
  When retired emergency physician and kidney donor Matt Harmody joined a team of four other donors to climb the highest peak in every U.S. state, they weren’t just chasing a Guinness world record. They were out to prove a radical truth: Life after kidney donation has no limits.

Alongside the adventure, Harmody dispels common myths about donation, explains dialysis and recovery in clear, human terms, and reveals breakthroughs shaping the future of transplantation.

  Why living kidney donors often outlive the people they save, and why their bodies thrive. 
  How one kidney donation can start a chain that saves dozens of lives. 
  What it really takes to conquer 50 summits in 41 days (and what those challenges reveal about human resilience). 
  The neuroscience of altruism and why donors often gain more than they give. 
  The future of transplantation, from animal organs to stem-cell innovations. 
  Both a pulse-pounding outdoor adventure and a call to action, Ascending America shows how extraordinary things happen when courage, science, and human generosity collide. Buy your copy today and rethink what is possible.
