Called by the Wild - The Dogs...

Conraad De Rosner, Graham...

The thrilling story of a pioneering conservationist working with dogs to protect wildlife from poachers 
Conraad de Rosner is a pioneering game ranger, working with dogs to protect wildlife against poachers – both ‘bushmeat’ poachers, who use cruel snares to trap animals, and criminal syndicates killing for rhinoceros horn and capturing critically endangered pangolins, the most trafficked animal in the world. 
Con’s life – constantly at risk from poachers, wildlife and even his own fellow rangers – has been saved on numerous occasions by his devoted canine companions. His first dog, Zingela, a Weimaraner, saved Con from near certain death at the hands of two fellow rangers; on another occasion, Zingela alerted Con to a concealed wounded buffalo, one of Africa’s most dangerous animals, about to charge. When Zingela was tragically killed, hit by a car while Con was away, the only meagre consolation was that Con had kept Landa, one of the nine puppies sired by Zingela. Landa followed in his father’s footsteps as the leader of the canine anti poaching team that is still operating today. 
Con’s story is an epic of modern-day African wildlife conservation, filled with courage, adventure and romance. 
Contains descriptions of violence

Black Gods of the Asphalt -...

Onaje X. O. Woodbine

J-Rod moves like a small tank on the court, his face mean, staring down his opponents. "I play just like my father," he says. "Before my father died, he was a problem on the court. I'm a problem." Playing basketball for him fuses past and present, conjuring his father's memory into a force that opponents can feel in each bone-snapping drive to the basket.On the street, every ballplayer has a story. Onaje X. O. Woodbine, a former streetball player who became an all-star Ivy Leaguer, brings the sights and sounds, hopes and dreams of street basketball to life. He shows that big games have a trickster figure and a master of black talk whose commentary interprets the game for audiences. The beats of hip-hop and reggae make up the soundtrack, and the ballplayers are half-men, half-heroes, defying the ghetto's limitations with their flights to the basket.Basketball is popular among young black American men but not because, as many claim, they are "pushed by poverty" or "pulled" by white institutions to play it. Black men choose to participate in basketball because of the transcendent experience of the game. Through interviews with and observations of urban basketball players, Onaje X. O. Woodbine composes a rare portrait of a passionate, committed, and resilient group of athletes who use the court to mine what urban life cannot corrupt. If people turn to religion to reimagine their place in the world, then black streetball players are indeed the hierophants of the asphalt.

How about you try realtraining?...

Martin Pfeifenberger

The playground of sport..

How does efficient, effective and sustainable training really work?
Especially in this day and age, when resilience and the immune system play a greater role than ever before, the contrasts on this topic could not be wider. There are countless "experts" who promise the moon. In no other area are there more of them - except perhaps in politics.

Are content and form out of balance?
Hopes, dreams and desires are processed for marketing purposes and spread like wildfire via social media channels.
Each training method is yet more effective and efficient than the previous one, while taking less time. Self-proclaimed "biohackers" and people who have reinvented physiology are making utopian promises.
It seems that human physiology has changed proportionally with the development of the internet, at least if you believe these promises.
Human physiology has evolved over millennia and will not change significantly in the next hundred years.
This book is not a training manual, it is intended to encourage reflection, questioning and scrutiny - whether in health sports, ambitious hobby sports or competitive sports.
What conditions should be created? What do the many terms buzzing around mean? How does it all really work?
These connections and backgrounds are explained both clearly and logically in this book - why one thing works and another can't work.
Understanding the "why" is one of the most important prerequisites for functional, effective and sustainable training.
Many achievements and medals are the product of a series of coincidences, which are not all that rare - which is why many training systems persist.

The knowledge about the application of biological measurement data for physical training has been around for almost half a century - only the knowledge about the correct application is still largely a mystery.

Considered one of the top three baseball players ever, Cobb finished his career with a .367 batting average, 4189 hits, 897 stolen bases and 1944 RBIs. In this recording, Cobb discusses the best pitchers he ever faced, and life after his baseball retirement.
