Sinopse

Fencing Champions explores the dedication, strategy, and training behind the world's most successful fencers. It examines the evolution of fencing from its dueling origins to its modern Olympic form, highlighting the unique characteristics of épée, foil, and sabre. The book emphasizes that mastery in fencing involves not just physical skill, but also tactical intelligence, anticipation, and psychological resilience, crucial for sustained success.

 
The book unfolds in three parts, starting with the historical context of fencing. It then profiles legendary fencers, analyzing their techniques, training, and strategies while providing examples of how they overcame challenges and achieved Olympic success. Finally, it connects these stories to broader themes like sports psychology and biomechanics. Drawing on archival footage, interviews, and scientific studies, Fencing Champions provides an interdisciplinary perspective, connecting the sport to psychology, physics, and history, demonstrating the multifaceted nature of fencing mastery.

 
What sets this book apart is its ability to translate complex fencing techniques into accessible explanations, making it valuable for both aspiring fencers and sports enthusiasts. It offers insights into strategic thinking, mental fortitude and continuous improvement, skills applicable beyond the sport. The approach balances scholarly rigor with engaging storytelling, appealing to a broad audience interested in sports biography and the science of peak performance.

    As the daughter of two gay fathers in the '90s, Chelsea has always had a different outlook than some people. And yet, her message is one of universal importance—love is the most important force in the world. Through her moving and at times hilarious memoir, Chelsea reflects on how we are all much more similar than we are different. 
     
     
     
    Living "two doors down from normal," Chelsea quickly learned that society loves to put people in boxes, but these boxes do not always reflect how we feel about ourselves. Through Inexplicably Me, Chelsea works to bring people together in love and acceptance and to illustrate that, while her story may seem worlds away from others, we all strive for happiness and love. 
     
     
     
    From sharing the stage with President Obama when she was only eighteen years old, to her father spending her senior year of college in federal prison camp, to her biological mother dying of cancer when she was only fifty-six, Chelsea explores her painful and joyful experiences with the hope that listeners will find inspiration to face their own challenges and embrace their own joys.

    Higher Sobriety - My years...

    What happened next? It’s the question Jill Stark has been asked most often since the publication of her acclaimed memoir, High Sobriety. 
     
     
    Now, in this updated and extended 10th Anniversary edition, narrated this time by Jill herself, she retells and continues her story.  
     
    As one of the original pioneers in the ‘quit lit’ space, Jill started a national conversation about the role of alcohol in our lives, turning the lens on her own rocky relationship with booze and forensically dissecting the culture that gave rise to it. 
      
    Now, ten years after the book’s first release, she fills in the gaps on where life took her after she unwittingly became the poster girl for sobriety. In this updated edition, Jill charts her struggle to become a moderate drinker, the crippling ‘hangxiety’ that led to her quitting alcohol for good, and the ever-evolving journey of self-discovery sobriety has taken her on. 
      
    Surviving six long lockdowns alcohol-free, Jill also looks at how a global pandemic tested her sobriety and shone a spotlight on the way alcohol has been sold as the panacea for all our troubles. At the same time, it helped accelerate a seismic change in the nation’s drinking habits, with the rise of the sober-curious movement and a booming non-alcoholic drinks industry proving there is a growing appetite for abstinence. 
      
    After so long feeling like a social pariah, Jill embraces the joy of living life on the outer, and meets a new generation of sober rebels who are radically redefining what it means to be alcohol-free. Now she feels prompted to ask the question, has sobriety become cool?

    The untold love story of a Roman couple destined to shape an empire—before history wrote their names. 
    In the heart of ancient Rome, where marble statues guard their secrets and the Senate chambers echo with whispered plots, intrigue weaves through every corner. Kyra, a young medica, arrives in Rome for an arranged marriage to a man aligned with her father's enemy. Her journey leads her to the heart of a web of mystery and espionage, where shadows cling to every cobblestone, casting a Gothic pall over her steps. Amidst this maze of secrets, forbidden attractions, and dangerous ambitions, the Tower of Malatha beckons—a refuge or a trap. 
    As the sun sets over the Eternal City, the Tower of Malatha stands sentinel. Its stones harbour more than mere echoes; they cradle the fate of souls entwined by ambition, love, and treachery. Will they ascend to greatness or plunge into the abyss? 
    Note: This is Book 1 of a documentary historical quadrilogy with mystery, espionage, romance, and gothic elements, based on the author's extensive research, travel to ancient sites, and consultation of over two hundred ancient and contemporary scholarly sources. The author is a qualifying physician and holds a master's degree in classical archaeology, achieving full grades for their thesis. 
    Step into the world of Ancient Rome—a story of power, intrigue, and legacy. Please note: This audiobook is temporarily autonarrated due to time and budget constraints. As a medical student, I hope to personally narrate my books in the future. Thank you for supporting independent authors. 
    This story presents historical figures within their time period, grounded in research rather than religious themes. Suitable for general audiences.

    Wiserwoof presents The Stoics Collection.  In this first release we give you a collection of the best Epictetus quotes.  Epictetus was born nearly 2,000 years ago in Hierapolis (present-day Pamukkale in Turkey) as a slave in a wealthy household. Epaphroditus, his owner, gave him the permission to pursue liberal studies and it is how Epictetus discovered philosophy through the Stoic Musonius Rufus who became his teacher and mentor. Later, Epictetus obtained his freedom shortly after emperor Nero's death and started teaching philosophy in Rome for nearly 25 years. This lasted until emperor Domitian famously banished all philosophers in Rome. Epictetus fled to Nicopolis in Greece where he founded a philosophy school and taught there until his death.
