Sinossi

The U.S. Marine Manual for Close Combat Fighting is a comprehensive guide that encapsulates the principles and techniques of hand-to-hand combat, reflecting the rigorous training and discipline ingrained in Marine Corps culture. With a straightforward and pragmatic literary style, the manual breaks down complex maneuvers into digestible segments, supported by detailed illustrations that underscore its instructional intent. This text emerges from a historical context marked by evolving warfare strategies, emphasizing the need for Marines to excel not only in conventional tactics but also in close-quarter engagements, ensuring their readiness for any combat scenario. The U.S. Department of Defense, acting as the author of this manual, draws on decades of military experience and extensive research into martial arts, psychology, and battlefield effectiveness. The synthesis of this knowledge is indicative of the Department's commitment to enhancing the capabilities of its fighting forces. This manual serves not only as a training resource but also as a reflection of the martial ethos fundamental to Marine identity, embodying the principle that every Marine must be prepared for close combat. This manual is indispensable for martial artists, military historians, and anyone interested in the physical and mental rigors of combat training. Its practical approach offers insights into the Marine Corps' ethos of resilience and adaptability, making it a valuable resource that transcends military applications.

    English/Canadian indie musician Tamara Williamson offers an unbridled account of a life in the world of horses. 
    From her first clever little bay pony, Stroller, to brilliant ribbon-winning Fletcher, Tamara Williamson recalls the many significant horses in her life, grappling with what it means to be horse-obsessed and what drives this desire to connect with horses. As Williamson discovers, during the tumultuous years of relationships with people and horses, these complicated equine creatures reflect back to us our best and worst selves. 
    Woven throughout the stories of individual horses in Williamson’s life is her own story of a creative, chaotic, challenging and adventurous life. Raised by an eccentric family, with a distant mother who disappeared into alcoholism and a charismatic father who left one sunny morning with a younger woman, Williamson struggles with dyslexia and a sense of increasing detachment. Horses, and the exacting sport of dressage, provide her with opportunities to connect, sometimes imperfectly. Her drive for accomplishment in equestrian sports, whether as a trainer or a rider, is regularly at odds with the fear that lingers from a traumatic childhood riding accident. 
    While reckoning with the financial and psychological expense of training and competition, and with the multitude of industries that benefit from horses, Williamson never loses sight of the enormous burden of responsibility she feels toward horses and the respect she has for their individual characters, memories and instincts. On the surface, The Mirror Horse is a book about horses—but beyond the bridles and braided manes, Williamson crafts a complex story about courage, family, and the unexpected places where we find a reflection of our souls: As a rider you can confuse yourself with being the teacher, but horses are constantly showing us something important. They are holding up a mirror.

    An ordinary hero doing something extraordinary for her mates.  
    Far from an elite athlete, Alexandra André bounced from one running injury to the next for the best part of five years before deciding to take part in the toughest one- day sporting event in the world. Without an ounce of confidence she could achieve it, Alexandra signed up to do the 2015 IRONMAN Melbourne – 3.8 km swim, 180 km ride, 42.195 km run. 
    Training for the event became more of a journey than she could have imagined. One of great purpose, filled with synchronicities and opportunities. 
    THE POWER OF POSSIBILITY is a compelling sports story and much more. Alexandra’s very real and honest account of the highs and lows of reaching her goal make it remarkable. Her story is engaging and relatable, leaving us not only inspired, but with hope in our hearts, full of wonder for the world of possibility that awaits when we find the courage to test our limits.

    United With Dad is an emotional tale of football fandom and fatherhood, detailing the agonising final two years of a man’s life while drawing on his love for and memories of Manchester United. 
     
    David Lloyd passed away from metastatic prostate cancer in a nursing home in November 2019. During his heartbreaking decline, he also lived with dementia. His affection for United was ignited by early visits to Old Trafford as a boy in the 1950s. Through the anguish of his final months, his passion for the club never completely faded, even when so many other things did. 
     
    United With Dad is written by David’s son, Simon, who reflects on his father’s life and their relationship, attempting to make sense of why, at such a bleak time, a shared love of a football club should matter so much. 
     
    It is a book that transcends club allegiances, for anyone who knows what it is to devote a large chunk of their life to watching their favourite team beside someone they love, then, one day, realise the time has come to go on doing so without them.

    "Truly, this is a book that belongs on the shelves of not just wrestling fans, but anyone who wants to understand the agonized American soul." ―Josephine Riesman, author of Ringmaster: Vince McMahon and the Unmaking of America 
     
    Professional wrestling is both a cultural phenomenon and a multibillion-dollar industry that has launched some of the biggest names in entertainment. But what does it take for a wrestler to break through? In Rough House, journalist Alison Lyn Miller introduces Hunter James, an aspiring star born into a family of wrestlers in Georgia. Hunter lifts, runs, and pounds protein, sculpting himself into a human action figure with the goal of being signed by a major promotion and finishing what his father started. Miller's immersive, unforgettable account shows us what happens when Hunter enters the bruising world of indie wrestling―where gymnasiums become arenas, trampolines serve as training grounds, and young men fight for glory. 
     
    Rich with drama, humor, and heart, Rough House is a ringside seat to a coming-of-age story that reveals the escapism, self-actualization, performance, and violence inherent in one of America's most dismissed pastimes. Whether you're a die-hard fan or new to the spectacle, this true story will leave you cheering for more.

    There is No Finish introduces the exploding world of the Backyard Ultra. Birthed from the high school musings of Lazarus Lake, renowned for the Barkley Marathons, the running event has spread globally—to over eighty countries— with sky-rocketing numbers. 
    Runners have up to one hour to complete a 4.1-mile lap. At the start of the next hour, again they attempt to complete the same lap. The race keeps going, with no finish, until all except one person gives up. The winner is the last one standing who does one lap more than anyone else. 
    With participants running until they drop, every race becomes an enthralling adventure with epic stories. Stephen Parker dives deep into the Backyard Ultra scene, running events, crewing for others, and exploring its amazing history. With races in Belgium, the USA, Australia, Sweden, Canada, Finland, South Africa, and many more, the book shares the agony and adrenaline of battles between colourful characters in stunning settings. 
    If there is no finish, how far can you run?
