Super Guide to Snowmobiling - The Best Places to Have a Great Time

Jim Stephens

Sinossi

Once an individual overcomes their dislike for winter weather, piloting a snowmobile can become an addicting winter pastime. For first-time snowmobilers, being in the wide-open terrain coated in a fresh layer of white, pure snowfall can be breathtaking and even fascinating. Additionally, it is an excellent method for families to spend time together while being active during the winter months, rather than congregating around the television for a few hours each night. After mastering the fundamentals of snowmobile operation, overcoming the white blanket of fresh snow will be an enjoyable pastime that families and friends will certainly share.
Always remember to put on your safety equipment before using your snowmobile. A regulation helmet and eyewear intended for cold weather activities are required for safety. It is critical to secure this equipment properly or it may cause complications throughout the snowmobiling expedition. Additionally, it is prudent to wear a snowmobile suit that is specifically designed to protect the body from the freezing elements of winter – such as one with a waterproof inner lining – to avoid hypothermia. A good pair of gloves is also necessary, as the hands will be controlling the majority of the machinery's activities. Due to the fact that cold hands impair reaction time, winter gloves are an imperative necessity.
Following that, familiarize yourself with the machinery. Sit on it, move around, and get a feel for the fine nuances of the snowmobile. Adjust the seat to the proper distance from your body so that the handlebars are within an acceptable reach. Stretching to reach the handlebars is ineffective, as is sitting too close to them. Keeping the handlebars at arm's length is optimal, as long as the distance is comfortable. Additionally, place your feet in the stirrups located on the snowmobile's front lower section. Develop a feel for the stirrups and never remove your feet from them when snowmobiling. They are designed to assist you in maintaining control of the motorcycle when making abrupt bends over snow-covered terrain.

Without Helmets or Shoulder Pads...

Irvin Muchnick

By now, football's concussion crisis is well known: every year brings headlines of our Hall of Fame heroes behaving erratically and dying young. But did you know that several kid players across the continent drop dead every year before a single ball is snapped—just from extreme conditioning drills directed by all-powerful coaches? Without Helmets or Shoulder Pads takes the conversation about football and public health to a new level with investigations of the sport's underreported worst tragedies and their cover-ups, at major universities, obscure junior colleges, and high schools. These add up to a kind of quiet pandemic—a socially induced one enabled by our thirst for spectacle and by a skewed vision of masculinity. 
 
 
 
Here are the shocking stories of young men who get struck down by exertional heatstroke and other causes sometimes not even acknowledged (such as the sickle cell trait syndrome that afflicts many African Americans). When the worst happens, the football world simply buries the evidence, pays off victims' families, and moves on. 
 
 
 
No matter how much we enjoy America's most popular sport at elite levels, this book makes the case that it belongs out of our public schools and off our public fields.

Gallus - Scotland England and...

Michael McEwan

There are two kinds of people in this world. Those who insist that football is just a game, and those who know better. Take the April 1967 clash between England and Scotland. Wounded by their biggest rivals winning the World Cup just nine months earlier, Bobby Brown's Scots travelled to Wembley on the mother of all missions. Win and they would take a huge step towards qualifying for the 1968 European Championship, end England’s formidable 19-game unbeaten streak, and, best of all, put Sir Alf Ramsey’s men firmly back in their box. Lose? Well, that was just unthinkable.  

Meanwhile, off the pitch, the winds of change were billowing through Scotland. Nationalism, long confined to the margins of British politics, was starting to penetrate the mainstream, gaining both traction and influence. Was England’s World Cup victory a defining moment in the Scottish independence movement? Or did it consign Scotland to successive generations of myopic underachievement?

Michael McEwan, author of The Ghosts of Cathkin Park, returns to 1967 to explore a crucial ninety minutes in the rebirth of a nation.

Red Sauce Brown Sauce: A British...

Felicity Cloake

The charming and joyful follow-up book from ‘the nation’s taster in chief,’ Felicity Cloake.
If there’s one thing that truly unites Britain, from Aberdeen to Aberystwyth, St Ives to St Pancras, it’s an obsession with breakfast.
We all have an opinion on the merits of brown sauce versus ketchup on our morning bacon sarnie. In this eagerly awaited follow-up to One More Croissant for the Road, the nation’s favourite taster-in-chief Felicity Cloake sets off on a cycle trip of condimental proportions to investigate and celebrate the legendary Great British Breakfast. Travelling the length and breadth of the UK to establish once and for all what makes a perfect fry-up, she rates them on criteria from the crispness of the bacon to how long they keep her pedalling. But a woman cannot live by All Day Breakfast alone, so as well as recipes for the Savoy's Omelette Arnold Bennett and proper Scottish porridge, she lavishes her attention on the regional specialities she encounters along the way, from a desi breakfast in Birmingham to a Greggs Geordie stottie cake. This is a freewheeling gastronomical tour like no other.
Eaten with as much relish in The Wolseley on Piccadilly as in Glasgow’s University Cafe, Britain loves nothing more than a good breakfast. The only question is: what do you have with yours?
In RED SAUCE BROWN SAUCE, Felicity Cloake, the nation's favourite taster-in-chief, combines her love for cycling and cooking to present a unique travelogue. She explores the best of British breakfasts, from the Welsh desi breakfast to the Scottish stottie cake, making it a top pick for food and travel enthusiasts.
For fans of Stanley Tucci (What I Ate in One Year), Peter Mayle (My Twenty-Five Years in Provence), Nigella Lawson (Cook, Eat, Repeat), Max Halley (Max's Sandwich Book), and Janine Marsh (My Four Seasons in France).
