  Harbours And Their Masters is the untold story of the Harbour Master and the harbours they manage. For five years, Mark Ashley-Miller set out on an extraordinary voyage, navigating 9,000 nautical miles to visit every corner of the British Isles. His mission? To uncover the hidden world of our harbours and Harbour Masters – those dedicated professionals who safeguard our ports and keep maritime trade flowing. In this captivating book, you'll join Mark as he visits 310 harbours and meets 256 Harbour Masters. Through carefully recorded interviews they reveal to him their unique challenges, stories and traditions. From ancient 'Haveners' to modern-day CEOs, their role has evolved over centuries, yet their influence remains as vital as ever. Whether they're handling burning container ships, managing storm-ravaged harbour walls or juggling the ever-changing demands of commercial shipping, these unsung heroes work tirelessly behind the scenes. This challenge has so far raised £30,000 for The Seafarers' Charity and all author royalties from this book will go to this charity. Perfect for sailors, history lovers and maritime professionals, the book is a treasure trove of insights into Britain and Ireland's harbours. It's a detailed account of a journey describing intimate encounters, unexpected adventures and an inside look at how harbours shape our maritime heritage. If you've ever dreamed of sailing around the British Isles, exploring maritime history or understanding the vital work of those who keep our harbours safe, this is the book for you. It's packed full of over 500 colour photos recording the Harbour Masters met and the stunning beauty of the harbours themselves. Princess Anne, The Princess Royal, has written the Foreword to the book and congratulates and thanks the author for his challenge.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. “Holding the Line of Life” is a book about cycling — but even more, it is a book about balance. About how a simple activity like riding a bicycle can evolve into a lifelong system for physical health, mental clarity, and emotional stability. This is not a story of extreme performance. It is a story of continuity. From childhood curiosity, to structured training, to competitive cycling, to long breaks and eventual return — this book follows a real-life journey where the bicycle becomes more than a sport. It becomes a way of staying aligned. Inside, you will discover how cycling can: • build physical endurance and resilience. • improve focus, clarity, and mental stability. • support balance during demanding life phases. • be reintroduced in adulthood, even after long pauses. • fit realistically around work, family, and daily responsibilities. The second part of the book offers a practical guide for amateur cyclists. It covers: • choosing the right bicycle. • setting correct riding position. • improving pedaling efficiency. • structuring weekly training. • managing recovery. • avoiding common beginner mistakes. This is not a guide for becoming a professional athlete. It is a guide for building something more sustainable:. a version of cycling that supports your life, instead of competing with it. Because in the end, cycling is not about speed or distance. It is about keeping the line steady. The line of life.

  For runners, walkers, and improved everyday mobility 
   
  The shoes you put on everyday can play a bigger role in the function of your feet, ankles, knees, hips, and spine than you might realize.  
   
  Biomechanist and author of Simple Steps to Foot Pain Relief, Katy Bowman offers walkers, runners, and health professionals alike clear, accessible lessons on how the shape of shoes can play a role in painful feet, knees, and hips―and what to do about it. 
   
  When we have painful feet and weak ankles it seems like stiff, supportive shoes are the answer, but this solution can be temporary, especially if our issues stem from foot and leg weakness. In short, humans come with great “foot technology”; we just need to learn how to use it. 
   
  Barefoot is natural, but research shows simply kicking off our shoes and releasing our feet into the wild can result in injury. Whole Body Barefoot will help you safely and effectively transition to minimal footwear, reaping the enormous benefits of freeing your feet without injuring yourself along the way. 
   
  Whole Body Barefoot presents: 
  25 exercises to create strong, supple, feel-better feetThe mechanics of bunions and pronationHow to strengthen weak ankles and archesHow to figure out your true shoe-sizeThe importance of walking on natural surfaces―“Vitamin Texture” 
   
  With clear, science-based explanations, Bowman lays out how conventional shoes and artificial environments leave us with sedentary feet. Take the first steps to naturally restore lost foot function, and improve health, today! PDF supplement included.
