  Reverence takes on a new meaning in this original memoir of an avid gardener walking the Camino de Santiago.
  		 
  The Camino de Santiago has been a journey for pilgrims for more than 1,000 years, testing—to varying degrees—their spirit, faith, and physical endurance. Lyndon Penner’s attention lies elsewhere. A renowned gardener and lover of literature, he revels in the plants, trees, and flowers that tell the history of the people and ecology of northern Spain.
  		 
  Brimming with wry observations—of nature, himself, and other pilgrims on the road—The Way of the Gardener reveals the beauty and the darkness of the human condition while underscoring the deeply fascinating nature of nature itself. This textured work makes for perfect armchair—or garden—reading.

  A mother dropping her teenager off at the mall, a young man leaving home for college, a family about to head out on their first trip overseas. What do all of these people have in common? They all have a vested interest in their personal security and the wellbeing of those they love. According to the FBI’s Uniform Crime Report, there were an estimated 1.25 million violent crimes committed in the United States in 2018.

Gary calls upon his extensive background as a Federal Air Marshal and defensive tactics instructor to explain these methods in simple terms that will greatly improve your general understanding of how, when and where violence occurs.

  ‘The story of an unforgettable season’ Virgil van Dijk 
  The definitive chronicle of Liverpool's footballing renaissance under Arne Slot, filled with exclusive interviews and unparalleled insight 
  An engrossing and inspiring account of a new manager’s remarkable rise to prominence. 
  Arne Slot arrived at Liverpool FC with little fanfare but a burning ambition. As a relatively unknown figure in English football, his appointment was met with scepticism. How could he hope to step into the shoes of the club’s greatest manager of the modern era? High drama and era-defining results would follow; unprecedented achievements, and pain too. But what was it like from the inside? 
  James Pearce, Liverpool correspondent for the Athletic, draws on exclusive interviews and unparalleled behind-the-scenes insight to tell an unmissable story of a season, and a Premier League victory, like no other. 
  From Slot’s beginnings as ‘The Bergkamp of Bergentheim’ to Liverpool’s deft use of player data; from the high drama of turning-point matches to the backroom negotiations around keeping talent like Mohammad Salah at Anfield, Pearce retells Liverpool’s dramatic recent history in enthralling detail and at addictive pace. 
  Walk On is the book for any Liverpool fan to understand just how Slot transformed Liverpool into Premier League champions, and how he intends to keep them there. 
  With an exclusive interview with Liverpool chairman Tom Werner, the book also features conversations with Arne Slot, chief executive Billy Hogan, captain Virgil van Dijk, Curtis Jones, Ryan Gravenberch, Harvey Elliott, former assistant manager Pep Lijnders, former director of research Ian Graham, and a number of ex-Liverpool players including Sander Westerveld and Dirk Kuyt. 
  In his latest biography, Pearce offers a fascinating insight into the world of professional soccer, exploring the psychology of coaching and the journey of an up-and-coming talent. This non-fiction work is a must-read for sports enthusiasts, providing a unique perspective on the challenges and triumphs of leading a top team.

  The Shocking Truth about Fitness...

  The fitness industry has exploded in recent decades, with billions of dollars spent annually on gym memberships, workout programs, and—perhaps most notably—fitness equipment. From high-end treadmills and weight machines to resistance bands and wearable fitness trackers, the market is flooded with products promising to revolutionize workouts and deliver unparalleled results. But how much of this equipment is truly effective, and how much is just clever marketing?  
    
  The allure of fitness equipment is undeniable. Advertisements often showcase sculpted individuals using the latest machines, implying that simply purchasing the right equipment is the key to achieving similar results. Manufacturers promise that their products can accelerate weight loss, build muscle more efficiently, or provide a more convenient alternative to traditional workouts. However, many of these claims are exaggerated or even outright misleading. The reality is that some machines are unnecessary, others are overpriced, and some may even do more harm than good.  
    
  Beyond questionable marketing, there are also concerns about the safety and practicality of fitness equipment. Poorly designed machines can lead to injuries, while gym equipment harbors bacteria that can pose health risks. Even seemingly harmless devices like wearable fitness trackers raise questions about accuracy and data privacy. Consumers often invest in these products without fully understanding their limitations, leading to wasted money and, in some cases, frustration with their fitness progress.
