    La Costa Brava modela la fachada marítima de las comarcas catalanas del Alt y Baix Empordà y de la Selva, desde Portbou, en la frontera con Francia, hasta la desembocadura del río Tordera en Blanes. Se trata de uno de los litorales más pintorescos de España, formado por acantilados abruptos, bosques de pinos, calas recónditas y playas de ensueño.
    
    Esta costa debe su relieve accidentado a una serie de sistemas montañosos que caen en picado sobre el mar Mediterráneo, formando acantilados rocosos que le dan un aspecto salvaje, con pequeñas calas donde los pinos remojan sus pies en el mar y extensos arenales –como el golfo de Roses o la playa de Pals– que confieren variedad al paisaje.
    
    Los Pirineos no se resignan a perder su carácter de alta montaña al llegar a la Costa Brava, mantienen su personalidad y nos regalan bellos pueblos de pescadores y villas rurales colgadas de las alturas, humedales costeros de delicado equilibrio ecológico y hayedos que crecen al amparo de umbrías empinadas. El extremo oriental del Pirineo ha sido, desde siempre, un lugar de paso entre los pueblos y culturas de la península ibérica y el resto de Europa, lo que ha dejado en el territorio un legado muy preciado. Este patrimonio histórico-artístico, enclavado en el punto de encuentro del mar y la alta montaña, conforman un atractivo territorio para los paseos y excursiones.

    Mental toughness in Golf 3 of 10 Concentration 
    Concentration, or the ability to focus on the task at hand while ignoring distractions, is crucial for success in golf. This is true because golf is a “stop-start” game in which at least 90% of your time on the course is spent doing something other than hitting the ball. And because there is a lot of walking and mental “down time” between your shots, a multitude of distractions can arise and divert your focus from the present moment. For example, a sudden noise or movement from a playing partner could upset your swing or you may find yourself thinking too far ahead as you face a putt. And like most players, you probably find it difficult to forget about a missed opportunity that occurred several holes back. Unfortunately, each of these distractions could prove costly to your score. 
    Contains 6 special tips to improve concentration in your game, and a short visualisation exercise involving a short putt. 
    Written by Professor Aidan Moran. Aidan is Director of the Psychology Research Laboratory in University College, Dublin. Aidan’s work for the last twenty years has included one to one coaching on mental toughness with top players including Major winners. Narrated by Sara Dylan

These elements are: legal and ethical implications, violence dynamics, avoidance, counter-ambush, breaking the freeze, the fight itself, and the aftermath.

    I have my own survival stories and maybe this is part of the reason why all these other stories interest me so much. 
    Everyone loves to learn about survival stories because it confirms the importance of the human spirit to live through trying and deadly situations. 
    I’ve included thirty three true life stories in this book. The criteria was that the persons in these events had to make a conscious decision to live. They decided not to give up and some did truly incredible things to survive. 
    We need to ask ourselves could we do some of the things they did to survive. For example, how many of us could cut off a hand to live if we were trapped in the wilderness? 
    How many of us could survive a raft in the sea for a month to then be put into a POW prison and survive harsh treatment and torture there. 
    These people have all illustrated the power of the human spirit to live through these experiences. And these experiences made them more confident people and better able to live through difficult situations in the future. 
    These stories are divided up into six categories: 
    ·        Survival In War 
    ·        Survival in the Wilderness and Mountains 
    ·        Survival in the Ocean 
    ·        Survival in the Arctic and Antarctic 
    ·        Surviving the Desert 
    ·        More Survival Stories for Ones which don’t fit a category

    “Through this wonderful book, frustrated golfers can learn to swing like Moe [Norman] and improve their games.” —Anthony Robbins, #1 New York Times–bestselling author The mysterious and reclusive genius Moe Norman is acknowledged as the best ball-striker in the history of golf by many of the game’s greats. The Single Plane Golf Swing: Play Better Golf the Moe Norman Way reveals the secrets of the swing that enabled him to hit the ball solidly with unerring accuracy and consistency—every time. Norman’s simple, efficient, and easily understood Single Plane Swing has improved the games of thousands of golfers. Golf professional Todd Graves, known as “Little Moe” and regarded as the world authority on Norman’s swing, comprehensively teaches readers the mechanics, drills, and feelings of the Single Plane Swing that Moe called “The Feeling of Greatness.” Graves shares Norman’s brilliant insights and liberating approach to the game and demonstrates why the conventional “tour” swing is too complex and frustrating for the majority of amateurs. Illustrated with more than 300 photographs and written with Tim O’Connor, Norman’s biographer, the book also engagingly tells Norman’s bittersweet life story and explores the teacher-student bond forged between Norman and his protégé Graves.“One of golf’s greatest untold stories, Moe Norman’s life illustrated a simple and powerful truth: greatness is built from practicing the right swing in the right way. In this book, Todd Graves has given us a blueprint for that swing, for those practice habits, and most of all for a process that builds success.” —Dan Coyle, New York Times-bestselling author of The Culture Code
