Sinossi

All manner of equines helped build our roads, our villages, towns and cities. They were, for centuries, virtually the only means of getting ourselves and our goods from A to B. They became a part of our folklore and the subject of many an artist's painting. They went to war, tilled the land and brought in the harvest, carried us in sporting activities and nowadays often facilitate our enjoyment in leisure activities. The Horse Lover's Miscellany celebrates this thinking by including fascinating, amusing, quirky and practical information likely to be of interest to every weekend rider, horse owner (both aspiring and current) and enthusiastic equestrian. The author focuses on many aspects; from equine ancestry to equine epitaphs; from dressage to showjumping; carriage driving to ploughing matches; pony clubs to polo and much more besides. It's an eclectic mix of fact, moving tales of endurance in the harshest conditions, eccentricity, quotes, amusing anecdotes and 'I never knew that' snippets from both times past and the present day.

    Henry Louis Gehrig (June 19, 1903 to June 2, 1941), born in New York City, was an American baseball player who played 17 seasons for the New York Yankees (1923–1939). Gehrig was renowned for his prowess as a hitter and for his durability, which earned him the nickname the "Iron Horse," and he is regarded as one of the greatest baseball players of all time. Gehrig was an All-Star seven consecutive times, a Triple Crown winner once, an American League Most Valuable Player twice and a member of six World Series championship teams. He had a career .340 batting average, hit 493 home runs, and had 1,995 RBIs. He is also one of 19 players to hit four home runs in a single game. In 1939, Gehrig was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame and was the first MLB player to have his uniform number retired by a team, when his number 4 was retired by the Yankees. The following recording is a radio interview from August 1939 after Gehrig had retired from baseball due to his illness, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), an incurable neuromuscular illness which, since then, is often referred to as "Lou Gehrig's disease."

    An indispensable guide to parents of hockey hopefuls
    		 
    At a time of great change in hockey, Justin Davis exposes the dark underbelly of the journey from the minors to the big leagues 
    		 
    Hockey culture: it’s a commonly used phrase inside the game, glorifying sacrifice, toughness, loyalty, and a sense of identity. Justin Davis viewed this culture as something he was lucky enough to experience. After all, he’d won a Memorial Cup after leading the tournament in scoring, and he’d been drafted by the Washington Capitals. “In my mind,” he says, “I was the normal one.” Unfortunately, after stepping outside the game, he began to recognize the racism, sexual abuse and bullying that was so deeply ingrained in the sport. And then, as his own children grew into teenagers, the curtain was pulled back, the memories came rushing forward, and he was horrified: “Why was I naked in a bus bathroom for four hours with seven teammates? What happened to my brain, and why can’t I remember the simplest things? How did I end up living in a basement where the strangers upstairs were clearly engaged in domestic abuse?”
    		 
    As it navigates the sport’s darkest corridors, Conflicted Scars shares the story of the common Canadian player and offers a guide for parents who need to know how and why a typical teenager with NHL dreams, from a small town, now lives anxiously, introvertedly, and battling emotional detachment.

    The Shocking Truth about Fitness...

    The fitness industry has exploded in recent decades, with billions of dollars spent annually on gym memberships, workout programs, and—perhaps most notably—fitness equipment. From high-end treadmills and weight machines to resistance bands and wearable fitness trackers, the market is flooded with products promising to revolutionize workouts and deliver unparalleled results. But how much of this equipment is truly effective, and how much is just clever marketing?  
      
    The allure of fitness equipment is undeniable. Advertisements often showcase sculpted individuals using the latest machines, implying that simply purchasing the right equipment is the key to achieving similar results. Manufacturers promise that their products can accelerate weight loss, build muscle more efficiently, or provide a more convenient alternative to traditional workouts. However, many of these claims are exaggerated or even outright misleading. The reality is that some machines are unnecessary, others are overpriced, and some may even do more harm than good.  
      
    Beyond questionable marketing, there are also concerns about the safety and practicality of fitness equipment. Poorly designed machines can lead to injuries, while gym equipment harbors bacteria that can pose health risks. Even seemingly harmless devices like wearable fitness trackers raise questions about accuracy and data privacy. Consumers often invest in these products without fully understanding their limitations, leading to wasted money and, in some cases, frustration with their fitness progress.
