Beschreibung

Shortest Athletes explores the remarkable achievements of athletes who defied height disadvantages in sports, succeeding through innovative strategies and unwavering determination. Examining the biomechanics of sport, the book reveals how these athletes master techniques to offset physical limitations. For example, shorter basketball players often develop superior agility and passing skills to compensate for lack of height. The book also delves into the psychological resilience needed to overcome societal biases, emphasizing the crucial role of mental fortitude and self-belief in achieving athletic success. The book challenges conventional wisdom by investigating innovative training methodologies and specialized coaching that provided a competitive edge. It addresses the historical context of heightism in sports, highlighting how shorter athletes have redefined the boundaries of athletic achievement. Each chapter focuses on a different sport, analyzing the techniques, strategies, and psychological approaches used by shorter athletes. The book begins by introducing the concept of "relative advantage" and culminates in a discussion of how these success stories can inform training methodologies, promote inclusivity in sports, and inspire individuals to overcome perceived limitations.

Since Carol Drinkwater moved to an olive farm in France she has developed a passion for the olive tree and the culture that has grown up around it. From the eastern shores of the shimmering Mediterranean to its western coast this fruit is farmed. Its silvery-green branches have inspired painters and poets, but who first pressed its 'bitter berry' and transformed it into liquid gold? In search of its secrets and traditions, Carol embarked on a solo adventure round the Mediterranean basin. Transporting readers across the olive's ancient paths, celebrating its venerable past, tracking trade routes, unearthing unlikely stories, encountering peoples of today and bygone times, Carol comes full circle, back to her farm in the sun-baked Provencal hills.

As a child being read to was one of the greatest joys imaginable.  A loved one would start a tale whilst you were all cosy warm in bed with the lights nodding off.  Anything could happen but sleep would come and dreams would start and all was good with the world.  Adults too long for reassurance, for comfort, for calm.  Sometimes they may get that.  But with classic authors such as Oscar Wilde, O Henry, Saki, Rabindranath Tagore and many others they may not.  Expect the unexpected.
