Summary

Each autumn, one of nature's most magnificent dramas plays out when striped bass undertake a journey, from the northeastern United States to the Outer Banks of North Carolina, in search of food and warmer seas. Writer and angler David DiBenedetto followed this great migration -- the fall run -- for three months in the autumn of 2001. 
On the Run offers vivid portrayals of the zany and obsessive characters DiBenedetto met on his travels -- including the country's most daring fisherman, an underwater videographer who chucked his corporate job in favor of filming striped bass, and the reclusive angler who claims that catching the world-record striper in 1982 sent his life into a tailspin. Along his route, DiBenedetto also delves into the natural history and biology of this great game fish, and depicts the colorful cultures of the seaside communities where the striped bass reigns supreme.
Available since: 10/13/2010.

    "Gripping... Powerful... Moving... Finish Strong is the kind of book you can be drawn into at any chapter and want to find out what happens next." – John Peterson, Gold Medalist 1976 Olympic Games 
    "Dan Russell is one of the greatest wrestlers I've ever known... and one of the greatest men I've ever known." – Chael Sonnen, Three-time UFC Title Challenger 
    For twenty-one years Dan Russell trained for four to six hours a day, six days a week in pursuit of winning an Olympic Gold medal in the sport of wrestling. He pushed his body to the limits, enduring brutal weight loss regimens, shattering injuries, personal tragedy and constant inner battles with the voices from his past telling him that he wasn't good enough. With his brother and fellow champion wrestler, Joe, by his side, Dan reached the heights of what could be accomplished in the sport. Dan's Olympic dream was within his grasp. But God had other plans for his life. 
    Finish Strong is the incredible story of a driven man's pursuit of success and finding purpose when all seems lost. It is the story of a wrestler, struggling not just against his opponents in the ring, but to discover what makes a true champion. 
    The lessons from Dan's life teach us that to finish strong we must make the choice to fight for our dreams and embrace the struggle and when we do, the winning will take care of itself.

    Lewis Hamilton: Championship...

    2017 marked a record-breaking year for Lewis Hamilton as he became only the fifth driver in history to win more than three World Championships, joining the motor racing greats. Through in-depth race reports and analysis from Times writers Rebecca Clancy and Mark Hughes, this unauthorised audiobook edited by Clancy will relive that achievement. 
    The list of Hamilton’s accolades is long and distinguished. The Englishman has finished on the podium in more than half of the grands prix he has contested, started on the front row more times than any other driver and is the only British quadruple world champion. 
    Such is the extent of his speed, ferocity and tactical skill on the track that the 1996 world champion Damon Hill has called him “one of the greatest, most talented drivers” to compete in the sport. 
    Yet despite the countless awards and records, the 2017 season was full of challenges. From extreme weather conditions in Shanghai to opening lap mayhem in Singapore, there was little opportunity to take his foot off the pedal, especially with the constant threat of Sebastian Vettel, his keen Ferrari rival. 
    Over the course of the season, The Times and The Sunday Times have followed every race, team and driver competing on the Formula One circuit. With unparalleled expertise and access, this audiobook will give a unique insight into the season, analysing Hamilton’s performance and celebrating his astonishing success. 
    This biography, a Sunday Times bestselling book, delves into the rich and famous life of Lewis Hamilton, a top figure in the world of automotive sports. It's a recreation of his record-breaking year, filled with engineering marvels and cutting-edge technology that propelled him to the top.

    Build Stronger Muscles Bundle, 2 in 1 Bundle: Muscle for Life and Starting StrengthIf you’re like many people, you have a hard time building muscle. You’ve tried every supplement and muscle-building workout routine that promised big, fast gains, but you’re still just as scrawny as the day you decided to start building muscle. There are a few reasons why it’s so hard to build muscle. The first thing that most people do wrong is approach it with the wrong mindset. To put things shortly, in order to build muscle like you want, you need to create a muscle-building lifestyle and really get your head in the game. At that point, muscle-building becomes something more than what you do when you go to the gym. Another misconception is that in order to build muscle and bulk up, the only thing they need to do is lift weights and that's it. If you only lift weights, chances are you would not be getting the results you were looking for. There is so much more involved in bodybuilding than lifting weights. You have to consider nutrition, supplementation, training and a whole lifestyle change.This bundle will teach you about all the essentials in order for you to build muscle mass and keep it that way. Once you have all the information you need, it would help you create a comprehensive plan you can execute. This 2 in 1 bundle includes the following audiobooks:1.
