Sinopse

Insane Stunt Performances explores the captivating world of daredevils and extreme stunts, examining what motivates individuals to push the boundaries of human potential. The book delves into the meticulous planning, exceptional physical and mental conditioning, and deep understanding required to execute these feats. It challenges the perception of daredevils as mere thrill-seekers, presenting them as individuals driven by ambition and a desire to redefine limits.

 
For example, the book analyzes how advancements in engineering have enabled new types of vehicular challenges and aerial feats, while also dissecting the failures and miscalculations that can lead to severe consequences. The book takes a unique approach by focusing on the science and psychology behind stunt performances, moving beyond sensationalism to offer a nuanced, fact-based examination.

 
It traces the history of daredevilry from ancient feats to modern extreme sports, highlighting how societal attitudes toward risk-taking have evolved. Organized by stunt categories like aerial feats, vehicular challenges, and underwater endeavors, each section explores iconic examples and analyzes techniques, risks, and consequences. The book synthesizes these findings to provide insights into the psychology of risk-taking and the future of extreme performance.

I diari della Via Francigena -...

Enrico Brizzi, Marcello Fini

Fedeli all'idea che "una strada non domanda altro che essere percorsa" e che lo strumento privilegiato di conoscenza sia l'esperienza diretta dell'andare, Enrico Brizzi e Marcello Fini partono, nell'estate 2006, per percorrere la Via Francigena tra Canterbury e Roma, 1600 chilometri e 33 città sulle orme di Sigerico, l'arcivescovo di Canterbury che per primo tracciò l'itinerario nel 990 d.C. Affrontano, mossi dalla sola forza dei loro piedi, il più importante asse viario dell'Europa medioevale. Camminano sulle orme di viandanti e pellegrini, riflettono on the road sul significato della vita e su quale eredità ci abbia lasciato quell'Europa di mille anni fa, per la prima volta unita nel nome della religione e delle radici culturali. Si chiedono che senso abbia camminare nel XXI secolo sulle tracce di un oscuro vescovo britannico, di masnade armate, di mercanti e falsi bordones mescolati agli autentici uomini di fede diretti verso il sepolcro di Pietro. Sono pronti a raccogliere le parole e le immagini che la strada saprà offrirgli. Al racconto di viaggio è abbinato un ricco inserto fotografico, mappe e un'approfondita guida con tutte le indicazioni per ripetere l'impresa tappa per tappa.

South West Scotland

Tom Atkinson

The lovely land of hills, moors and beaches is bounded by the Atlantic and the Solway. Steeped in history and legend, still unspoiled, it is a land whose peace and grandeur are at least comparable to the Highlands, and yet it is hardly known. No area of Scotland better repays exploration than this.
From the Auld Kirk of Alloway where tales of Tam O'Shanter resound, to the legends of St Ninian at one of Scotland's earliest Christian sites, Whithorn, this region is lovingly described by a local author, who will explore with you the splendour of Culzean Castle and delights of Wanlockhead, Scotland's highest village.
