Beschreibung

Your prep guide to this test called life—from outdoor skills to taming the urban wild, car care to cooking, handy manning to managing a hangover. 
 
Armed with the proper set of skills, there is no beast a man cannot tame, no problem he cannot solve, no wine he cannot appraise, no meat he cannot grill, and no woman he cannot amaze. All that lies between you (or your man) and becoming uber-evolved is mastering the wisdom contained in this humble book called Manskills. 
 
But you must learn these lessons well. When that angry she-bear lunges, you won’t have time to Google “surviving animal attacks.” When your boss’s wife offers you a morsel of cave-aged Gorgonzola she’s not expecting you to wolf down that hunk of blue mold and say “Cheesy!” 
 
With instructive illustrations, the skills are organized by categories such as:Shelter Savvy—remove a stripped screw, handle a jackhammer, stop a toilet from running . . .Wild Ways—Build an igloo, stitch your own wound, catch a fish without a rod and reel . . .Social Graces—sew on a button, order wine like you know what you’re doing, ease a hangover . . .Emergency!—save someone from drowning, use a fire extinguisher, bust down a door . . .Romantic Prowess—plan the perfect romantic dinner, meet her parents, pick a diamond . . . 
 
to name just a few 
 
By developing your manskills, you’ll avoid life’s pitfalls and become a complex, sophisticated person of confidence, competence, and vigor. Good for you!

    Learning to ride as an adult

    The usual daily stress of modern living means adults, and very often even adolescents, adopt tensed-up and faulty postures, which have a particularly negative effect on the horse. Here is a modern riding manual with a completely new training concept specifically designed to counteract the problem:
    * A perfect loosening-up programme, with relaxes and eases.
    * Complex rider’s movements are separated into individual movements for ease of practice.
    * These swinging circles can be practised in day-to-day situations as well on the physio-ball – the substitute horse.
    Erika Prockl is a teacher in further education and a certified riding instructor. Not having learned to ride as a child but as an adult, she has personally experienced the suffering of the adult novice rider, and learned from it. This “swinging“ training programme was developed in co-operation with Eva Sogl, a well-known high-level dressage instructor, and has been applied successfully for several years.
    This book should be required reading for every riding instructor and adult novice rider.

    Go on the road with the best hockey players not in the NHL
     
    What is life really like in North American hockey’s top minor league? As told by dozens of the players, coaches, broadcasters, personnel, and owners who work a grinding schedule every winter, Chasing the Dream goes behind the scenes with seven AHL teams. Find out how players’ dreams of lacing up their skates in the NHL motivate them through long bus rides and games where they’re constantly gunning for a precious spot in the majors.
     
    From young prospects to veterans whose own hopes have faded, hear from AHL players on why today’s minor league is no longer like Slap Shot, what playing three games in under 48 hours can do to a player, and why fighting — once a staple of the minors — is on the decline. Learn about the game from coaches, alumni, and broadcasters, as well as AHL president Dave Andrews, who reveals how the AHL is becoming an even more important tool for NHL teams in the salary-cap era.
     
    Load your gear on the bus and take a tour around the many venues, personalities, pranks, and memories of the once-small AHL — an organization that now crosses the continent and is big business for players and owners.

    Packrafts are rugged, portable rafts, small enough to attach under a rucksack, but stable on the water to reassure first time paddlers. Weighing from 1-3 kilos, they open up a whole new world of amphibious adventuring, from navigating easily accessible waterways to discovering more challenging rivers and lochs only reachable on foot or bicycle. Packrafting: A Beginners' Guide is a perfect introduction to the game-changing recreational opportunities opened up by packrafting. It takes you through the different types and features of packrafts to ensure that you buy a boat that is right for you and have the right gear to use with it. It clearly explains the basic paddling skills and how to safely evaluate risks on the water. It also introduces the different types of adventures you can undertake with your packraft, from paddling a local canal or river to lashing a bicycle over the bow or using a packable sail to traverse open water. The book is comprehensively illustrated with over 120 colour photographs making it easy to understand and clear to follow.

    Manchester City have signed England midfielder Jack Grealish from Aston Villa for a British record £100m.
    The 25-year-old joins the Premier League champions on a six-year contract and will wear the number 10 shirt recently vacated by Sergio Aguero.
    The fee surpasses the £89m Manchester United paid to re-sign midfielder Paul Pogba from Juventus in 2016.
    "City are the best team in the country with a manager considered to be the best in the world," said Grealish. "It's a dream come true to be part of this club."
    Jack Grealish has the world at his feet but it hasn't been all plain sailing for the 25-year-old super-talented midfielder.
    He has come a long way since his loan spell with lowly Notts County in 2013 as a skinny 18-year-old. After making his Villa debut in the 2014/2015 season, Jack came to life in the FA Cup semi-final against Liverpool and helped his side progress to the final. However, Villa were relegated from the Premier League in the following season.
    Playing under the radar in the Championship for three seasons, Jack found his talents were mainly hidden from wider world; however, the Villa faithful all knew he was a 24-carat diamond in the making. Becoming captain in March 2019 was the making of him as Jack led Villa to a record 10 straight wins and the club back into the big-time.
    England beckoned and eventually came, making his debut in September 2020, and the country was astonished that our best player didn't play more minutes in England's run to the Euro 2020 Final against Italy.
    Obviously Man City boss Pep Guardiola has more faith in him than England manager Gareth Southgate as was evident when he made him Britain's most expensive footballer ever in early August 2021.
