Beschreibung

From established sports journalist Ben Hunt, the very first biography of the up-and-coming British driver Lando Norris, published on the brink of the British Grand Prix.

As the youngest ever British Formula 1 driver, Lando Norris is trailblazing his way through the world of motor racing. After signing as a junior driver for McLaren in 2017, he has since asserted himself as the team's brightest talent and an aspiring world champion.

Born to British and Belgian parents and raised in the idylls of south-west England, Lando's childhood reflects how even the calmest of upbringings can create an adrenaline junkie. 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.

    I recently saw several predictions by well-known seers of the future that there will be a huge natural disaster in June/July of 2025. 
    Whether a disaster from a comet crashing into the Earth, a huge volcanic eruption or earthquake or a nuclear war; the likelihood of humanity suffering a period of global cooling is that it will happen—and has already happened in the past. 
    Disasters could actually cause global cooling for months or years. In trying to lookup any books on how to individuals and society should handle global cooling I couldn’t find anything. So I decided to write a manual dealing with this issue. 
    This manual has five parts: 
    Part One-Understanding the Threat 
    Part Two-Preparation and Prevention 
    Part Three-Surviving the Freeze 
    Part Four-Rebuilding in the ICE 
    Part Five-Looking Forward 
    Historical examples of how mankind dealt with global cooling in the past are included as well as lots of advice on how to recognize this process happening to our world, and how to deal with the consequences. 
    Survival for both individuals and society, and how to plan for the future. 
    I hope this situation never happens in our lifetimes but this book might be an aid to survival in those circumstances.

    Nothing is off the record. She is revealing her life for the first time in this book with complete fearlessness. 
     
    There have been far too many years of silence caught in a system. Now Anyika is determined to make up for lost time and use her story to inspire and heal others.

    Fitness doesn’t have to be confined to the walls of a gym. In fact, some of the most enjoyable and effective forms of exercise can be found outside, using the world around you to stay active. Exploring fitness outside the gym offers a wide variety of benefits, from fresh air and natural surroundings to the opportunity for new challenges and experiences. Whether you’re looking to break free from the routine or simply want to take advantage of nature, there are countless ways to stay fit without ever stepping foot in a gym. 
    One of the major benefits of outdoor fitness is the variety of activities available. For example, walking, running, and cycling are simple yet highly effective forms of exercise that you can do anywhere. Parks, trails, and even urban areas can serve as ideal settings for an outdoor workout. These activities not only improve cardiovascular health but also allow you to connect with your environment, making the exercise feel more like an adventure than a chore. You can increase the intensity of these workouts by incorporating hills, stairs, or uneven terrain, which also engages different muscle groups. 
    Another advantage of outdoor fitness is the sense of freedom it provides. In a gym, your workout is often limited by equipment, machines, and schedules. Outside, you have the flexibility to create your own routines and workout whenever you like, without the constraints of crowded spaces or memberships. Many outdoor activities, like hiking or swimming, can be enjoyed at your own pace and adjusted to your fitness level, allowing you to gradually increase your endurance and strength over time.

    How does efficient, effective and sustainable training really work?
    Especially in this day and age, when resilience and the immune system play a greater role than ever before, the contrasts on this topic could not be wider. There are countless "experts" who promise the moon. In no other area are there more of them - except perhaps in politics.
    
    Are content and form out of balance?
    Hopes, dreams and desires are processed for marketing purposes and spread like wildfire via social media channels.
    Each training method is yet more effective and efficient than the previous one, while taking less time. Self-proclaimed "biohackers" and people who have reinvented physiology are making utopian promises.
    It seems that human physiology has changed proportionally with the development of the internet, at least if you believe these promises.
    Human physiology has evolved over millennia and will not change significantly in the next hundred years.
    This book is not a training manual, it is intended to encourage reflection, questioning and scrutiny - whether in health sports, ambitious hobby sports or competitive sports.
    What conditions should be created? What do the many terms buzzing around mean? How does it all really work?
    These connections and backgrounds are explained both clearly and logically in this book - why one thing works and another can't work.
    Understanding the "why" is one of the most important prerequisites for functional, effective and sustainable training.
    Many achievements and medals are the product of a series of coincidences, which are not all that rare - which is why many training systems persist.
    
    The knowledge about the application of biological measurement data for physical training has been around for almost half a century - only the knowledge about the correct application is still largely a mystery.
