  'One evening, when I was headed for dinner with my British girlfriend Ellen, news of her presence spread like wildfire through the entire squad on tour. A senior national selector, who was on tour with us, spotted us walking in the lobby with our hands linked. It didn't even occur to me that I should let go of her hand, because to me that was no crime. There was a good chance that if I had performed consistently on that Australia tour, I would have made it to the senior Indian side, but my performance kept dipping.' 
  Flamboyant, maverick, charismatic these are some words one would use to describe Shikhar Dhawan.  
  One of the most aggressive and stylish batsmen in modern cricket, Dhawan has been behind some of India's most iconic victories. In The One, Dhawan takes readers on the incredible journey of his life. Growing up in the intensely competitive cricketing scene of Delhi, Dhawan started out as a wicketkeeper but later transitioned to an opening batsman, a move that would define his career. 
  Off the field, Dhawan's life has been nothing short of a roller coaster ride, and he bares it all in this memoir. How did a bar conversation with a former cricketer help Dhawan improve his batting. What made him visit an astrologer while he was still a teenager trying to make it big in cricket. Why was he dropped for two years from the India A team for no apparent reason? From his relationships to his friendships, to all the controversies surrounding him, this is a no holds barred account of how Dhawan handled every curveball that life threw at him while performing and winning at the highest level for India. 
  Written with candour and sincerity, The One offers an unprecedented glimpse into Shikhar Dhawan's inner monologue and all the vulnerabilities that have shaped him into the champion cricketer and sensitive human being he is today. Raw and powerful, this is a story that will stay with readers and fans for a long time.

  Manual for the Modern Ninja The:...

  P.J. Agness

  Stealth is not darkness, costume, or fantasy. It is the disciplined reduction of useful attention. In The Manual for the Modern Ninja: Stealth, P. J. Agness takes the operational logic behind the historical ninja and applies it to the modern world of cameras, controlled entry points, apartment lobbies, office buildings, school pickup lines, parking lots, stores, and other watched spaces. This is not a book about disappearing into myth. It is a practical manual for moving through ordinary environments without becoming the most interesting thing in them. 
   
  Inside, Agness breaks stealth down into the real variables that create exposure: pattern, movement, hesitation, environmental fit, timing, sound, behavioral noise, and memory. The goal is not cinematic invisibility. The goal is to pass through space cleanly enough that the environment has little useful story to hold onto afterward. Clear, modern, and grounded, this audiobook turns stealth into a discipline of posture, pace, restraint, and recall management.

  Hockey is a game where team rivalries are literally sealed with blood into the ice. No other major sport has fans going into the penalty box to fight the players or players going over the boards to fight the fans. Hockey has been known to see team mascots unwittingly cheat death during pre-game entertainment and players escape death mid-action. From benches lined with more coaches than players by game's end to lifetime-ban-inducing penalties worthy of assault charges, this international sport has seen the most bizarre - and often violent - action a broadcaster could only hope to describe. The Voices of Hockey boasts 65 NHL play-by-play broadcasters, past and present, sharing the game's most pinnacle moments of the past 60 plus years. From the Broad Street Bullies to the Bruise Brothers; the great one to the great eight; from flying octopi, catfish, and plastic rats to National Anthem interrupting shouts, these 65 storytellers encapsulate the greatest moments the only sport deserving of the nickname "the fastest game on earth” has to offer.  
  Kirk McKnight is a published American author specializing in sports journalism with an emphasis on broadcasting. He has written three books featuring over 130 play-by-play broadcasters, past and present, for both hockey and baseball. McKnight’s other published books include The Voices of Baseball: The Game’s Greatest Broadcasters Reflect on America’s Pastime and Batting Clean: Why Dale Murphy Belongs in Baseball’s Hall of Fame. Currently serving as editor for The Wahkiakum County Eagle, McKnight lives in Cathlamet, Washington, with his wife, Collette and their child, Adaira.
