Synopsis

Baseball Pitching explores the science behind throwing a baseball, focusing on how physics and biomechanics influence pitch performance and injury prevention. It explains how elements like aerodynamics and spin determine a ball's trajectory, allowing pitchers to create movement and velocity. For example, the Magnus effect explains how spin causes a baseball to curve, defying a straight path. The book also delves into the biomechanics of pitching, emphasizing efficient motion to maximize power while minimizing the risk of injury. 

 
The book uniquely combines scientific theory with practical application, bridging the gap between physics, biomechanics, and pitching technique. It begins by introducing fundamental physics principles, then moves into a detailed examination of pitching biomechanics, and finally dedicates chapters to specific pitches like fastballs, curveballs, and sliders. Each pitch is analyzed in terms of grip, arm action, release point, and resulting ball flight.

 
By understanding the science of pitching, players and coaches can optimize their techniques and training for improved performance and safety.

The Voyage of The Aegre - From...

Nicholas Grainger

The Voyage of The Aegre is a dramatic true account of how a plan to sail a little fishing boat from the Highlands of Scotland down the coast to England turned into a trans-oceanic odyssey for Nick and Julie Grainger. It was the 1970s and their simple wooden boat was equipped with none of the aids modern yachts enjoy. Navigation was by sextant and compass, food cooked on a Primus, and weather forecasting by guesswork. Diligent preparation before they set sail eventually saved their lives in the violent storms and dangers they encountered, vividly described in this absorbing narrative. Their capsize at night in a fierce storm south of Tahiti and subsequent survival makes a gripping climax to the story. A born storyteller, the author has produced a stirring tale that ranks among classic sea adventures. 
From a simpler age of sailing when you were led across oceans by the sun and the stars, this book deserves to join the classics. It is simply a top class read - Paul Heiney, Royal Cruising Club. 
A terrific adventure - John Ridgway, 1966 North Atlantic rower, Round the World sailor, Adventurer, Author. 
One of the greatest sailing stories I have ever read - John Quirk, Afloat magazine.

Running the Dream - One Summer...

Matt Fitzgerald

The bestselling author of 80/20 Running and How Bad Do You Want It?
reveals his inspiring and surprising journey to see just how fast he can go.

Matt Fitzgerald has been running (and writing about running) for most of his
adult life. But, like many passionate amateur runners, he never felt he was quite
fulfilling his potential. If he follows the training, nutrition, and lifestyle of an elite
runner, just how fast could he go?

In his mid-forties, Matt at last has the freedom to do nothing but train, if only
for the span of one summer. The time is now. He convinces the coach of Northern
Arizona Elite, one of the country’s premier professional running teams, to let him
train with a roster of national champions and Olympic hopefuls in the running
mecca of Flagstaff, Arizona, leading into the Chicago Marathon. The results will
completely redefine Matt’s notion of what is possible, not only for himself but for
any runner.

Filled with a vibrant cast of characters, rigorous and quad-torching training,
and a large dose of self-deprecating humor, Matt’s gripping account of his “fake
pro-runner” experience allows us to partake in the dream of having the chance to go
all the way. Yet for the gifted young runners Matt trains with, it’s not a dream but
concrete reality, and their individual stories enrich this inspiring narrative.

Running the Dream pulls us into the rarified world of professional running in
a way we can all relate to, regardless of speed, and inspires us to try to achieve our
own potential.
