Sinopsis

Ridge Edge Movements explores the art and science of safely navigating knife-edge ridges, drawing parallels between mountaineering and scouting. It reveals how balance, environmental awareness, and gear management are crucial for success. Readers will discover how mastering equilibrium under pressure and understanding wind dynamics can significantly reduce risk. The book uniquely blends practical climbing instruction with environmental science, emphasizing safety protocols and risk management, essential for both climbers and scouts.

 
The book challenges the idea that ridge travel is purely about physical strength, arguing it requires calculated precision. It begins by examining the physics of balance and the psychology of risk, then investigates weather impacts on movement. Subsequent sections detail rope techniques and safety systems.

 
Case studies of successful and unsuccessful ridge crossings provide actionable guidelines, making this a valuable resource for anyone looking to master ridge travel.

    We live in a world that all too often operates under the overriding template of self-promotion, embracing a "hooray for me" attitude, and which measures success in increasingly small timeframes dotted with markers of temporal value. Millions of viewers know James Brown as a sports commentator and former athlete. With ROLE OF A LIFETIME, James reveals a different side of his character. Part memoir and part self-help, this book draws on James' lessons from his life experiences to guide readers to find fulfillment and significance. He offers values and encouragment to others of all generations, assisting them in their search for meaning in navigating a world that increasingly promotes transient values, if any at all. His message that shortcuts and gimmicks are counterproductive to a person's success provides hope that there is a God who cares about them and their futures.

    +++ WINNER CHARLES TYRWHITT SPORTS BOOK AWARD 2026 ++++++ SHORTLISTED WILLIAM HILL SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR 2025 ++++++ SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR IN THE TIMES AND THE GUARDIAN +++'A masterful work that will challenge your views on the physical capabilities of all women' – Sue Anstiss, authorWhat happens when women run beyond the marathon—and refuse to stop? Ultra Women is a gripping, behind-the-scenes journey into the high-stakes world of female endurance, where athletes race across deserts, over mountains, and through the night for 50, 100, even 200 miles at a time. Blending intimate profiles with cutting-edge science, it reveals how women runners, swimmers and cyclists are smashing records, shattering stereotypes, and redefining what "strong" looks like at every age and stage of life.Meet the mothers balancing midnight feeds with dawn training runs, the champions who learned to turn pain into data, and the late starters who discovered their prime years—post-40, post-menopause—on the trail. Along the way, you'll learn how mindset, fueling, hormones, and smart recovery result in extraordinary performance.Whether you're a curious newcomer, a seasoned marathoner eyeing your first 50K, or a reader who loves true stories of grit, Ultra Women will leave you inspired—and equipped—to go further than you ever thought possible.Perfect for fans of Born to Run, Good for a Girl, and Endure —and for anyone who believes the horizon is just a starting line.Take the long way. Find your edge. Join the Ultra Women.ReviewsWhy do women sometimes manage to beat men in ultramarathon races? Why does the gender performance gap begin to shrink with longer distances? Spoiler alert: we don't know for sure. But Ultra Women is as close as we're getting for now: a meticulous and occasionally startling study of how modern sport is still shaped by a male perspective, from media coverage to bra design to scientific research. Most of all, though, it's a celebration of female bodies, female pioneers and female endurance. – Jonathan Liew, Guardian Sports Book of the YearThis absorbing book, shortlisted for the 2025 William Hill sports book of the year, combines history, reportage, science and polemic. Most enjoyable of all are the mini-biographies of endurance athletes, such as the British fell-running champion Jasmin Paris, who can "push on and endure" like few others. – Jason Cowley. Sports Books of the Year, The TimesThis is the book we've been waiting for. A timely acknowledgement of the challenges faced by women in the world of ultra events and a celebration of their trailblazing, record-breaking successes. – Helen Mort, author, A Line Above the SkyA triumph! A page-turning tribute to female ultra-runners everywhere. Move over Born to Run – this insight into the world of the world's toughest races and the incredible women who run them is spine-tingling.
