Along the way he takes readers inside the clubhouses of champions—describing the defiance of the '86 Mets, from manager Davey Johnson on down, and recalling the true grit and selflessness that helped make Torre's Yankees a dynasty from 1996 to 2000.

  French nymphing, or European nymphing as it is often known in the US, is the most important new development in flyfishing for a generation. The use of ultra-long tapered French leaders provides huge advantages both in terms of reducing drag and dramatically improving fly presentation.
  These methods, which have already revolutionised the world of competition flyfishing, are now also proving themselves to be a game-changer for the recreational fisherman.
  
  This is the first book to explain all branches of French leader technique:
  
  • sight nymphing
  
  • short and long-range indicator nymphing
  
  • dry fly
  
  • fishing for grayling, carp and steelhead
  
  • masterclasses from leading experts
  
     Cody Burgdorff (USA)
     Julien Daguillanes (France)
     Stanislav Mankov (Bulgaria)
  
  • tips for fishing in all types of river and clear stillwaters in the UK, Continental Europe, the
  
     USA and the Southern Hemisphere.
  Use of the French leader has led to the French national team becoming the most successful team at the World Championships in recent years, winning 7 Gold, 7 Silver and 7 Bronze medals.
  
  As opportunities to catch trout on a dry fly have become less frequent and of shorter duration, the use of modern nymphing techniques can often make the difference between a successful fishing trip and not catching fish at all.

  A biography of the boxing legend reveals how strategies Ali used for his successful sports career may be applied to business or personal endeavors. 
   
   Muhammad Ali is the most famous boxer in the history of the sport. Three-time World Champion and the thorn in the side of Vietnam-era America, he became a moral beacon at a time when America was on its knees. 
   
  But, for all his pronouncements, Ali rarely revealed the psychological training that went into his preparations before the fights. For the first time, Kevin Mitchell, one of the pre-eminent boxing writers of his generation, will get behind the public persona to reveal the psychological advantage that Ali was able to take to the ring. Mitchell demonstrates how the mental preparation Ali put into winning the heavyweight title three times are essential skills that can be applied to any walk of professional life. 
   
  From the classic tactic of the rope-a-dope that Ali applied to the infamous “Rumble in the Jungle” against the favorite George Foreman, to the visualization techniques Ali applied to every fight—by having the Round number he was going to knock his opponent out in written on his taped hands—Mitchell reveals how Ali can teach something to us all and how his lessons can be applied to business and personal life equally.
