  The remarkable true story of an unrivalled journey to recreate the greatest run in film history: 15,621 miles, five-times across the United States. 
  ‘Rob Pope has made his name revelling in challenges that range from the unconventional to the extraordinary.’ BBC News 
  Becoming Forrest is the incredible story of Englishman Rob Pope, a veterinarian who left his job in pursuit of a dream – to become the first person ever to complete the epic run undertaken by one of Hollywood’s most beloved characters, Forrest Gump. After his momma urged him “to do one thing in life that made a difference”, he flew to Alabama, put on his running shoes, and sped off into the wilderness. 
  His remarkable journey covered 15,600 miles, the distance from the North to the South Pole and a third of the way back. Over a grueling 18 months, braving injuries, blizzards, forest fires and deadly wildlife, he crossed the United States five times. During one of the most turbulent periods in recent American history, Rob immersed himself in American life. His time on the open road saw him forever changed, trying to make that difference, in the process of Becoming Forrest. 
  This is a tale of one man who just wanted to make a difference. 
  Becoming Forrest is a compelling blend of sports, travel, and autobiography genres. It's a motivational journey that explores the depths of human resilience and the pursuit of dreams, making it a top choice for readers seeking inspirational content. 
  For fans of Dean Karnazes (Ultramarathon Man), Richard Askwith (Unbreakable), Mark Turley (Beyond Good and Evil), Damian Hall (In It for the Long Run), and Anna Mcnuff (Barefoot Britain).

  Read by David Mitchell and Robert Webb the comedy duo tackle various subject matters in a 'How to Cope with…' guide addressing various scenarios, and everyday situations. 
  David Mitchell and Robert Webb tackle various subject matters in a 'How to Cope with…' guide talking you through every day scenarios and situations. The subject matters talked about are 'How to Cope with… Being Normal, Pubs, Being dumped Parts 1 and 2, Coffee, Malmaison Hotels, Nudists, The Smoking Ban, Actors, Servants and Getting Older'. 
  This recording doesn't need to remind us just how great Mitchell and Webb are as a comedy duo and will by no means need to even attempt at getting the listeners attention once the play button is pressed but will simply show us once more everything we know and love about Mitchell and Webb and why their quirky hilarity and foibles work so well together. For example… How to cope with Actors…Try "not be put off by their luvvie-ness" and "do not assume that all actors are all thick…Stephen Fry is an actor and also a world class boffin. David Mitchell's GCSE results are very impressive". 
  Mitchell and Webb's How to Cope with... series is a top-rated, short guide that uses the best humour to help you navigate through everyday situations. Their unique comedic approach turns even the most ordinary scenarios into a source of laughter. 
  For fans of James Acaster (Perfect Sound Whatever), Rory Stewart (The Marches), Philomena Cunk (Cunk on Everything), Haruki Murakami (What I Talk About When I Talk About Running), and Romesh Ranganathan (As Good As It Gets).

  "Engaging" stories of what the Motor City was like before the invention of the motor (Detroit Metro-Times). 
   
   
    
  Long before it became the twentieth-century automotive capital, Detroit was a muddy port town full of grog shops, horse races, haphazard cemeteries, and enterprising bootstrappers from all over the world. 
   
   
    
  In this lively book you'll discover the city's forgotten history and meet a variety of unforgettable characters—the argumentative French fugitive who founded the city; the tobacco magnate who haunts his shuttered factory; the gambler prankster millionaire who built a monument to himself; the governor who brought his scholarly library with him on canoe expeditions; and the historians who helped create the story of Detroit as we know it: one of the oldest, rowdiest, and most enigmatic cities in the Midwest.
