  The Bone Cave - A Highland...

  Dougie Strang

  This is a book about stories – old stories of people and place, and of the more-than-human world.
  A vivid account of a journey through the Scottish Highlands, The Bone Cave follows a series of folktales and myths to the places in which they're set. Travelling mostly on foot, and camping along the way amid some of Scotland's most beautiful and rugged landscapes, Dougie Strang encounters a depth of meaning to the tales he tracks – one that offers a unique perspective on place, culture, land ownership and ecological stewardship, as well as insights into his own entanglement with place.
  Dougie sets out on his walk at the beginning of October, which also marks the start of the red deer rut. The bellowing of stags forms the soundtrack to his journey and is a reminder that, as well as mapping invisible landscapes of story, he is also exploring the tangible, living landscape of the present.
  Longlisted for the Highland Book Prize

  'A fabulous story guaranteed to capture people’s imagination' Mail on Sunday 
  'Stunningly descriptive, compelling writing. I was moved close to tears on several occasions.' Peter James, international bestselling crime writer 
  In 1930, at the age of twenty-seven, Liesl Herbst was the Austrian National Tennis Champion, a celebrity in Vienna. Liesl, her husband David and their daughter Dorli came to Britain after escaping the Nazis. 
  In London, though initially stripped of their Austrian passports and rendered stateless aliens, both Liesl and her daughter Dorli competed at Wimbledon. They remain the only mother and daughter ever to have played doubles together at Wimbledon. 
  This moving story of escape and survival is told by Liesl’s grand-daughter, Dorli’s daughter. Some of the story, the author heard first-hand from her grandmother; the rest, she has meticulously researched over many years in four countries. It is as much a search for the author’s own identity as for her own children and grandchildren to ensure that their remarkable family history is never lost again. 
  Illustrated throughout with family photographs and original documents, this is a story of survival against terrible odds, an inspiring tale of resilience and hope.

  The Simple Science of Muscle Growth and Hypertrophy Bundle, 2 in 1 Bundle: Functional Training and Beyond and The Muscle Hypertrophy Workout BookContrary to popular belief, muscle size does not always correlate directly with muscle strength. In general, stronger athletes will have bigger muscles but this does not always hold true. And perhaps the best example of this can be seen by looking at Bruce Lee, who had relatively thin arms but was capable of performing some incredible feats. When it comes to building muscle, only half of the work is done in the gym. What’s just as important, is what you do in the kitchen and what you eat: eat wrong and you’ll be squandering all the effort you put in and all the opportunities for growth. Functional training is a way to exercise where everything you do in the workout mimics the moves of daily activities. The point is to achieve a fitter body by improving the ability to perform everyday activities. These workouts don’t aim to enlarge your muscles or make you look bigger but strive to make your body function better.In this bundle, you will get useful tips on diet and exercise that will help you build muscles. You will also learn the effect of mindset and your emotions in your quest to achieve bigger and stronger muscles. You will also learn more about functional fitness and how it can increase your functional strength.This 2 in 1 bundle includes the following audiobooks:1. Functional Training and Beyond: Learn All the Effective Exercises That Will Help Boost Your Real Functional Strength2.
