  The playground of sport..
  
  How does efficient, effective and sustainable training really work?
  Especially in this day and age, when resilience and the immune system play a greater role than ever before, the contrasts on this topic could not be wider. There are countless "experts" who promise the moon. In no other area are there more of them - except perhaps in politics.
  
  Are content and form out of balance?
  Hopes, dreams and desires are processed for marketing purposes and spread like wildfire via social media channels.
  Each training method is yet more effective and efficient than the previous one, while taking less time. Self-proclaimed "biohackers" and people who have reinvented physiology are making utopian promises.
  It seems that human physiology has changed proportionally with the development of the internet, at least if you believe these promises.
  Human physiology has evolved over millennia and will not change significantly in the next hundred years.
  This book is not a training manual, it is intended to encourage reflection, questioning and scrutiny - whether in health sports, ambitious hobby sports or competitive sports.
  What conditions should be created? What do the many terms buzzing around mean? How does it all really work?
  These connections and backgrounds are explained both clearly and logically in this book - why one thing works and another can't work.
  Understanding the "why" is one of the most important prerequisites for functional, effective and sustainable training.
  Many achievements and medals are the product of a series of coincidences, which are not all that rare - which is why many training systems persist.
  
  The knowledge about the application of biological measurement data for physical training has been around for almost half a century - only the knowledge about the correct application is still largely a mystery.

  Writing Landscape

  Inhabiting a landscape, walking a landscape, writing a place and time. 
  Linda Cracknell is a writer of place and nature who believes in being alert, observing, and writing from the particulars of each experience. Engaging bodily with her writing, she is someone for whom getting mud on her boots, sleeping high up in the hills, or being slapped by salt water can all be part of her process. She follows Susan Sontag's advice to “Love words, agonize over sentences and pay attention to the world.”  
  In this varied collection of essays, Linda backpacks on a small island that is connected to the mainland at low tide, musing on the nineteenth-century Scottish writer whose character was shipwrecked there. She hikes the wooded mountain trail close to her home in winter snow—a place she is intimately familiar with in all weathers and seasons—and she retraces the steps of a multiday hike made almost seven decades after her parents trod the route together. She explores her inspirations, in nature and from other artists and their work.  
  Reading this collection will open your eyes to the world around you and how you can observe, take note, and later commit those notes and memories to written pieces that will evoke the place and time.

  Voices From the Hills is a history of female participation in mountain running, a development that was fiercely resisted in its early years. Steve Chilton has researched his subject deeply, interviewing many female athletes whom he rightly describes as pioneers. Thanks to them, female participation has become accepted and followed avidly in all its aspects including the long distance, high ascent runs over ranges such as the Mamores and recognised challenges such as the Bob Graham Round. The many voices who speak directly from the page represent many different personalities that are united in a powerful determination to realise their various potentials and to prepare the way for the athletes who would follow in ever greater numbers.

  Gallus - Scotland England and...

  There are two kinds of people in this world. Those who insist that football is just a game, and those who know better. Take the April 1967 clash between England and Scotland. Wounded by their biggest rivals winning the World Cup just nine months earlier, Bobby Brown's Scots travelled to Wembley on the mother of all missions. Win and they would take a huge step towards qualifying for the 1968 European Championship, end England’s formidable 19-game unbeaten streak, and, best of all, put Sir Alf Ramsey’s men firmly back in their box. Lose? Well, that was just unthinkable.  
  
  Meanwhile, off the pitch, the winds of change were billowing through Scotland. Nationalism, long confined to the margins of British politics, was starting to penetrate the mainstream, gaining both traction and influence. Was England’s World Cup victory a defining moment in the Scottish independence movement? Or did it consign Scotland to successive generations of myopic underachievement?
  
  Michael McEwan, author of The Ghosts of Cathkin Park, returns to 1967 to explore a crucial ninety minutes in the rebirth of a nation.
