Summary

Most incidents and accidents are down to 'human error'. Unfortunately, 'human error' is normal and we can't get rid of it. However, we can reduce the likelihood of one of those, 'Oh s***t moments' if we have an understanding of human factors and develop our non-technical skills. 
This is a globally-unique book containing decades of research and practice from high-risk domains translated into the world of recreational and technical diving. This is done through the use of numerous detailed case studies to highlight the value and applicability of these skills. This book is a must for all divers who want to manage their risks more effectively and have fun in the process.

    Get on the express for Survival Skills: Know How to Prepare for Common Disasters at Home and Learn Survival Skills to Survive in the Wild on Your Own.  
What is the purpose of a human's life? We'll get to that later.  
But first - would you know what to do when a wildfire sets ablaze, a flood happens, a hurricane strikes, a tornado hits, or an earthquake occurs or when there is a world crisis of food shortage and everybody in your household is starving?  
Or what about if you were in an accident and lost in the middle of nowhere, or worse...stranded on a deserted island on your own with no form of human contact or communication away from civilization?  
Just how are you going to handle yourself in these situations?  
Sounds extreme? Perhaps. But thinking it can't happen to you? Think again!  
The biggest mistake is to assume such incidents can't happen to you because they certainly can to anyone when least expected, and if you haven't thought about what to do by then, it may be too late and you won't survive.  
The key to survival is to always be prepared and already possess the foundational knowledge of basic survival skills.  
By taking the Survival Skills Express, your destination includes:  
How to survive out in the wilderness with bushcraft skills using only whatever you can find in your environment. How to live off the grid with homesteading for self-sufficiency and self-sustainability without ever relying on anybody else. How to manage natural and man-made disasters at home to keep you and your family safe and away from harm. How to do prepping the right way so you're always prepared to have what you need during any emergency. How to get your body to peak performance shape to strive in the most extreme living conditions and situations

The book explores secluded wild swimming locations in the tourist hotspots of Windermere and Derwent Water and takes you to the tranquil hidden gems of Bassenthwaite, Crummock Water and Devoke Water, with the emphasis on taking time to enjoy the stunning surroundings. Imagine yourself gliding through clear, still water, surrounded by rugged fells, with only the sound of birdsong to accompany you. The book is full of useful tips for both new and experienced wild swimmers; it contains sections on getting started in wild swimming, how to look after your own safety and impartial advice on all the essential kit you'll need, as well as what you don't need.
Illustrated with stunning photography, and featuring overview maps, the book has all the practical information you need to plan your wild swimming adventure, including access to the lakes by car or public transport where possible, thorough information about the best wild swimming locations on all the featured lakes and details of the best pubs and cafes for a much-needed post-swim drink or meal.

    Massively Violent & Decidedly...

    Lee Howey

    Lee Howey was inspired to write this book after reading the autobiographies of other footballers. These were household names with glory-laden careers whose exploits on the pitch will never be forgotten. Yet, despite access to such fabulous raw material, they have mostly produced bloody awful books – predictable, plodding, repetitive, self-important and just plain boring. They may have been better footballers than Howey, but he has written the most entertaining football memoir you are ever likely to read.


Not that Lee Howey's football career is in any way undistinguished. He won the First Division Championship with his beloved Sunderland in 1995 and played in the Premier League against some of the most celebrated names in English football, including Jürgen Klinsmann, Ryan Giggs, Eric Cantona, Gianfranco Zola, Peter Schmeichel, Ian Wright, Alan Shearer and Fabrizio Ravanelli – and not always unsuccessfully. It wasn't all assaults upon the kneecaps on wet Tuesday nights in Hartlepool (though there is plenty of that too).


This honest, thoughtful and hilarious book may not end with an unforgettable game at Wembley, or a 100th England cap. However, it will amuse and delight fans of all teams in its portrait of the game of football before it disappeared up its own backside.

    The rip-roaring story of Manchester City's red-hot goalscoring hero Erling Haaland. 
Unlike his seafaring forefathers, Haaland arrived in England peacefully in 2022. But the result was the same with the Viking running riot before heading to European shores to rampage through even the most stubborn defences. 
Haaland helped sweep Manchester City to a record-equalling treble of Champions League, Premier League and FA Cup glory. The Striking Viking smashed home a record-breaking 36 Premier League goals and continued his incredible Champions League record to make it 35 in 29 games. 
This book is packed with exclusive unpublished material, including the story behind his transfer to England. It features the words of the great man himself, team-mates, opponents and Pep Guardiola. It explores his early career in Norway, and his later successes in Salzburg and Dortmund, before bringing us up to date with his Man City and international heroics. 
Want to know Haaland the player and the man? This is the book for you.
