    In Riding, Pardis Mahdavi meditates on the lessons learned over a lifetime of horseback riding and the falling, failing, and joy it brings. At once a history of Caspian horses, an exploration of Mahdavi's Iranian-American identity and family history, and a consideration of the capacity for self-reflection and self-compassion through human-animal relationships, Riding offers a roadmap for learning to live in harmony with the self and the environment around us. Mahdavi shows how her relationship with horses gives her insights into intergenerational strength and tools for healing intergenerational trauma. Riding from the mountains of Iran to the beaches of California, Mahdavi shares her love affair with horses, rediscovers a homeland she longs for, and ultimately finds her strength.

    Defeat is not in the athlete’s vocabulary.  It is in their spirit. 
    How have sports evolved from a healthy expression of talent and prowess into a relentless vortex that grinds that talent into the athlete’s internal, secret defeat?  Anymore, this truth is like watching a funnel cloud develop before it advances into an F-5 tornado.  Most of us recognize it.  Most of us talk about it.  But few are willing to acknowledge and heed its warning. 
    1000% is the book that will take you into the aftermath of this reality.  It is not intended to diminish the brilliance and opportunity that sports provide.  Not at all.  This book will reconstruct the life of the athlete and expose the destructive forces that contribute to this concealed sense of defeat, fear, and mental health issues that many athletes secretly battle.  This book will also lead the athlete into a powerful revelation of their purpose as it provides answers for their hidden fears and sets them on a path to understand and overcome these adverse forces. 
    If you are an athlete, this book is for you.  The message woven throughout these pages is intended to reach you, offer understanding, and provide help.  These words will perhaps be your voice and weapon against an enemy that is trying to steal your identity, claim your spirit, and ultimately defeat you.  But… 
    THE VICTORY BELONGS TO YOU!

    Discover the origins of the Lionesses that brought football home. 
    Shortlisted for the Sports Book Awards for Best Football Writing of the Year
    England's Lionesses are on the front and back pages; their stars feature on prime-time television; they are named in the national honours lists for their contribution to their sport and to society. The names of Lucy Bronze, Steph Houghton and Ellen White are emblazoned across the backs of children's replica jerseys. These women are top athletes – and top celebrities. But in 1921, the Football Association introduced a ban on women's football, pronouncing the sport 'quite unsuitable for females'.
    That ban would last for half a century - but despite official prohibition the women's game went underground. From the Dick, Kerr Ladies touring the world to the Lost Lionesses who played at the unsanctioned Women's World Cup in Mexico in 1971, generations of women defied the restrictions and laid the foundations for today's Lionesses - so much so that in 2018 England's Women's Super League became the first fully professional league in Europe...when just a few decades previously women were forbidden to play the sport in England at all.
    This book tells the story of women's football in England since its 19th-century inception through pen portraits of its trailblazers. The game might have once been banned because of its popularity – find out about the subversive women who kept organising their teams and matches despite the prohibition, who broke barriers and set records – the legends of the game who built the foundations of the stage upon which today's stars flourish.
    'At what feels like a pivotal moment, Carrie's forensic research and depth of knowledge make her the perfect person to guide us through the constantly changing landscape of women's football' - Kelly Cates, TV presenter
