  The definitive history of Sunderland AFC.
  
  Formed by a group of teachers nearly 150 years ago in 1879, Sunderland AFC have a long and storied history in English football. The club has won six top-flight titles, only five other teams have won more, and they have lifted the FA Cup twice - once in 1937 and once in 1973.
  
  The Black Cats are renowned for having one of the largest and most loyal fan bases in the country, and records have regularly been broken for attendance figures at the Stadium of Light. After hitting a nadir with back-to-back demotions from the Premier League down to the third division in 2018, the club is now back on the ascendancy and plotting a return to the top-flight.
  
  Drawing on interviews with key players, managers and staff members, esteemed club historian Rob Mason delves into Sunderland's 150-year history, charting the glorious highs and the ignominious lows to trace how the Black Cats have come to dominate football in the North-East.

  A guide to self-mastery and other lessons based on the principles of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, by the sport's greatest practitioner of all time. This program includes a foreword written by actor Tom Hardy and read by Mark Meadows.As a ten-time Brazilian jiu jitsu World Champion and a former MMA World Champion, Roger Gracie is widely considered to be the greatest practitioner of Brazilian jiu jitsu of all time.His grandfather, the great Carlos Gracie, was the architect of modern day Brazilian jiu jitsu and for Roger, growing up in the famous Gracie family, every conversation seemed to be about fighting,Within this family of supermen, this self-contained, chubby kid promised little; in fact, nobody expected Roger to become the warrior he later did. But once he had made up his mind as a teenager to become the greatest, Roger's star was firmly aligned with his purpose. Over time, he gradually became unstoppable, both in his thirst for jiu jitsu knowledge and in his single-mindedness to strip back overly complex moves to their simplest most effective forms, just as his grandfather had done before him.In Warrior Mindset: The Tao of a Champion, for the first time, Gracie shares lessons from a career of fighting at the highest level including:-'Learning to breathe',-'Controlling your emotions',-'Mastering your thinking', and '-'Developing Quiet Inner Grace'.Going far beyond the mat, this hard-won wisdom is applicable to everyone from any background and in any walk of life who longs to find strength, courage, health, and peace.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press
