Sinopsis

"Weightlifting Titans" presents a fascinating journey through the evolution of competitive weightlifting, masterfully weaving together the stories of legendary athletes with the scientific principles that revolutionized the sport.From Vasily Alekseyev's groundbreaking 500-pound clean and jerk in 1970 to the incredible feats of Naim Süleymanoğlu, the book examines how these remarkable athletes pushed the boundaries of human strength while transforming training methodologies and competitive techniques. The narrative skillfully balances technical analysis with compelling biographical storytelling, exploring how weightlifting evolved from basic strength work to sophisticated periodization programs.Through extensive research, including Olympic archives, competition records, and firsthand accounts from champions and coaches, readers gain unprecedented insight into the physical and mental elements that created these athletic legends. The book particularly shines in its examination of how sports science, biomechanics, and nutrition have influenced modern training methods.Drawing from verified records and documented training approaches, this comprehensive work serves both as a historical document and a practical resource for strength enthusiasts. The text progresses chronologically while examining three core elements: scientific principles, historical development of techniques, and detailed profiles of record-setting athletes. This approach makes complex concepts accessible while maintaining the accuracy and depth that serious sports enthusiasts and historians demand.

    My Secret Life is an anonymously penned memoir written during a period from the 1840s to the 1880s by a wealthy and sex obsessed English gentleman who refers to himself simply as ‘Walter’. Part confessional, part investigative erotic journalism, it meticulously documents every detail of the author’s prolific sexual encounters, offering us in the process an eye and thigh opening account of life behind closed doors in the Victorian age.
    
    Women, in both mind and body, were the all consuming object of Walter’s interest. From early youth through to old age his quest for erotic discovery and adventure with them was never diminished.
    
    Unlike contemporary 19th century erotic texts, such as The Pearl, whose sole object was to titillate, Walter’s interest in his subjects did not end with the extinguishing of the carnal flame. His hunger to understand the circumstances and minds of the women he encountered is never upstaged by the sex. Their potted life histories, their most intimate desires and acts were shared with him and in turn meticulously recorded by him, written down verbatim while still fresh in his mind.
    
    The resulting poignant record of a lost era and the intimate moments of the women who inhabited it offer us a remarkable insight into the 19th century that cannot be gleaned from any other source.
    
    The complete unabridged text is being released as a fully scored audiofilm (an audio book with accompanying music soundtrack) by film composer Dominic Crawford Collins.

    ‘When I joined the struggle as a 13-year-old boy in Soweto, I would never have imagined that one day I would blow the whistle on a special kind of corruption that was destroying the party and the values I had been fighting for all my life.’ 
    In 2010, government spokesperson Themba Maseko was called to the Gupta family’s Saxonwold compound and asked by Ajay Gupta to divert the government’s entire advertising budget to the family’s media company. When Maseko refused to do so, he was removed from his position and forced to leave the public service. The life of this once-proud civil servant would never be the same again. 
    	Maseko, whose activism was forged in the Soweto uprising of 1976, is a product of the struggle, and has always been unfailingly loyal to the principles of the ANC. In 2016, when the party called on members with evidence of wrongdoing by the Guptas to step forward, Maseko was the only one to do so. For this courageous act of whistleblowing, he was ostracised, slandered and even threatened. 
    	As a former senior state official, Maseko also offers a rare insider’s view of the presidencies of Thabo Mbeki and Jacob Zuma and of the inner workings of government. 
    	Compelling and revelatory, For My Country shows what it takes to stand up for one’s principles and defy the most powerful man in the country.

    "Sometimes it is easier to see the trauma in others than it is in our own lives. It is in reading that we find validation. And in I Know Why She Stayed I had that experience, over and over. I did not know the term "economic abuse" but I have suffered from it. It is that shared experience that gives us words and power, for if we can name it, we can mourn what we lost, allow ourselves to feel rage, and finally release our pain and say, 'never again.'" - Lara Lillibridge, author of The Truth About Unringing Phones: Essays on Yearning and Girlish: Growing Up in a Lesbian Home 
    From Itch Perfect to the bonds of friendship, two gameshow participants' lives intertwine when they discover a shared trauma that restricted and shaped their futures. One trapped in a financially abusive marriage, the other forced into debt as a child, they begin to unravel the disturbing events of a shared truth: I Know Why She Stayed.

    RESILIENCE FINDS A WAY 
     
    James Webb’s life is the American dream in a nutshell. Born to teenage parents in Laurel, Mississippi, and faced with a future working in the town’s only two factories, James chose to change his fate and forge his own path—to become a titan of business, a mentor, and a philanthropist. 
     
    In Redneck Resilience, James shares stories of amazing wins and devastating losses, of sin and redemption, of recovery and forward momentum. Most importantly, he discusses the benefits and advantages of resilience. 
     
    James uses his own life to illustrate truths about success in life and in business, including: 
    • Failures happen, and resilience vanquishes failure. 
    • No lesson or experience is ever wasted. 
    • When opportunity presents itself, take the risk. 
    • A true entrepreneur works for no one. 
    • You cannot succeed on your own. 
    • And much more. 
     
    Resilient people never take their eye off where they’re going, even when they get knocked down. They refocus. Resilience isn’t worried about the odds. Resilience finds a way.
