  • 0

  Murray's History of Chess is regarded as the most authoritative and most comprehensive history of the game. Murray's aim is threefold: to present as complete a record as is possible of the varieties of chess that exist or have existed in different parts of the world; to investigate the ultimate origin of these games and the circumstances of the invention of chess; and to trace the development of the modern European game from the first appearance of its ancestor, the Indian chaturanga, in the beginning of the 7th century. The first part of the book describes the history of the Asiatic varieties of chess, the Arabic and Persian literature on chess, and the theory and practice of the game of shatranj. The second part is concerned with chess in Europe in the Middle Ages, its role in literature and in the moralities, and with medieval chess problems, leading up to the beginning of modern chess and the history of the modern game through to the 19th century.

That being one of the 120(now about 140) worldwide hunters to receive the award from Safari Club international for collecting and registering all 29 species, thus "The North American 29 award".

  You get an actual Audiobook about the history of mixed martial arts and MMA figures as well as a mixed martial arts figures price guide combined in one book. 
  MMA, or mixed martial arts, is the hybrid contact sport that combines the best set of techniques from Muay Thai, karate, jujitsu, judo, wrestling, and boxing - just to name a few of the disciplines. Initially, MMA was considered to be a brutal blood sport because of its critics, but it slowly transitioned into a no-holds-barred competition, and it has maintained this persona to date. Nowadays, it has managed to move past 'the fastest-growing spectator sport' title into an internationally recognized and prosperous source of entertainment. You'll find MMA events being sanctioned in so many countries all over the world, along with all 50 states of the US. 
  Action figures aren't only for kids now. Popular shows like The Toys that Made Us illustrated the effect these collectibles have on cultures and people in recent times. This is why it is difficult to deny the fact that adults may drool over MMA action figures just as children would. Now, we aren't saying every MMA toy has achieved the status of a collector's item. We're trying to tell you that the ultimate collector's items are those that have managed to become somewhat of a modern cult phenomenon. So much so that there are already multiple fan groups across a wide array of international markets for these collectibles. 
  What some people may see as lumps of plastic are actually sources of joy and nostalgia for the millions of UFC fans out there. All of these people would agree that each of these items qualifies as a great trade-off for all the memories that were made on the mats and the octagon.

  What are the rules of etiquette in a bothy full of strangers?How cold, exactly, can a Scottish summer get?And how many cans of beer can a man carry whilst fording a swollen river?
  Second Man on the Rope tackles all these questions and more, a celebrating Scotland's mountains come sun, sleet or snow, through the stories of a great climbing partnership.
  Ranging from the Cairngorms to Glencoe, from Nevis to Knoydart and from the Cuillin to the Cobbler, this book weaves the story of a friendship amongst witty – and often alarming – tales of mountaineering mishaps. These richly entertaining tales will delight all who love the Scottish hills – be they mountaineers, day-outers, Munro-baggers (like the author) or merely armchair ramblers.
  Written with a wealth of knowledge, this mountaineering classic is a warm and witty celebration of friendship, forged over many years, between the author and his 'first man' – Davie. Together they form one of the great double acts of climbing literature. They face with humour and fortitude all that the mountains can pit against them – winter avalanches, raging rivers, rats in bothies and Brummies in baseball boots.
