Sinopsis

In 'Riding and Driving for Women' by Belle Beach, readers are invited into a world where women are encouraged to embrace equestrianism and driving as empowering activities. This Victorian-era instructional guide not only provides practical advice on horseback riding and driving horse-drawn carriages but also challenges traditional gender norms by advocating for women's participation in these activities. Written in a straightforward and accessible style, the book reflects the changing attitudes towards women's roles in society during the late 19th century. Belle Beach's work stands out as a pioneering effort to empower women through outdoor activities that were previously deemed as masculine pursuits. Her advocacy for women's independence and self-reliance is evident throughout the text, making it a valuable resource for readers interested in feminist literature and historical accounts of women's liberation movements. 'Riding and Driving for Women' is a must-read for those who seek to explore the intersection of gender, leisure, and empowerment in the Victorian era.

    From William Muldoon to Brock Lesnar, this history covers those who have divided themselves as tough guys on the professional wrestling circuit and legitimate confrontations. From catch wrestling master Billy Robinson to the Japanese professional wrestler who gave birth to the global phenomenon that is modern mixed martial arts (MMA), this investigation travels from the shadowy carnival tent and the dingy training hall to the bright lights of the squared circle and the Las Vegas glitz of the octagon. Billy Riley's legendary Wigan Snake Pit and the rigorous UWF Dojo in Tokyo are explored, revealing the secret history of both professional wrestling and the rising sport of MMA.

    Brimming with wry observations—of nature, himself, and other pilgrims on the road—The Way of the Gardener reveals the beauty and the darkness of the human condition while underscoring the deeply fascinating nature of nature itself. This textured work makes for perfect armchair—or garden—reading.

    'When a man is conscious of the urge to explore, not all the arduous journeyings, the troubles that will beset him and the lack of material gains from his investigations will stop him.'
    Nanda Devi is one of the most inaccessible mountains in the Himalaya. It is surrounded by a huge ring of peaks, among them some of the highest mountains in the Indian Himalaya. For fifty years the finest mountaineers of the early twentieth century had repeatedly tried and failed to reach the foot of the mountain.
    Then, in 1934, Eric Shipton and H. W. Tilman found a way in. Their 1934 expedition is regarded as the epitome of adventurous mountain exploration. With their three tough and enthusiastic Sherpa companions Angtharkay, Kusang and Pasang, they solved the problem of access to the Nanda Devi Sanctuary. They crossed difficult cols, made first ascents and explored remote, uninhabited valleys, all of which is recounted in Shipton's wonderfully vivid Nanda Devi - a true evocation of Shipton's enduring spirit of adventure and one of the most inspirational travel books ever written.
