    The classic guide to living amid wild, unspoiled nature by a legendary outdoorsman and an experienced survivalist.     A longtime Army colonel, Townsend Whelen later became renowned for his passion for wilderness exploration and his skills as a rifleman. Bradford Angier, inspired by Henry David Thoreau and possessing the same adventurous spirit, advocated for back-to-the-land living and wrote extensively on outdoor survival skills.

If the wilderness calls you, they invite you to join them and talk about how to live in it. They explain what from their experience they found to be the best ways of entering wild and unspoiled country, of finding their way through it with the right knowledge and equipment, and of living there in comfort and safety. On Your Own in the Wilderness is their explicit direction on how to escape to an earthly paradise.

    Football’s roots run deep, tracing back to ancient civilizations that played rudimentary games involving a ball and teams. These early sports, like harpastum in Rome or cuju in China, laid the foundation for modern team-based games. However, the gridiron game we recognize today began to take shape in the 19th century. 
    The origins of American football lie in two English sports: soccer and rugby. In the mid-1800s, colleges in the United States began to play their own variations of these games. Harvard, Princeton, and Yale were instrumental in experimenting with the rules, gradually distinguishing their style of play from soccer and rugby. The first intercollegiate game, played in 1869 between Rutgers and Princeton, resembled soccer more than the football we know today. Over the next few decades, the sport evolved significantly. 
    Walter Camp, often called the “Father of American Football,” revolutionized the game in the late 19th century. He introduced the line of scrimmage, the down-and-distance system, and the concept of the quarterback position. These changes brought structure and strategy to the game, creating a unique identity distinct from its English predecessors.

    A “brilliantly hilarious” and accessible guide to the rugby law book (Ben Shepherd). The laws of rugby are as extensive as they are confusing, their nuances and interpretations argued over relentlessly by rugby fans around the world and virtually impenetrable to those who are new to the game. In an effort to provide some much-needed clarity, Paul Williams takes an irreverent, hilarious, p*ss-taking tour through the labyrinth that is rugby’s rule book—or, for the pedantic, rugby’s law book. Hilarious, off-beat and (surprisingly) insightful, this is the perfect gift for rugby fans all around the world.Praise for Rugby Has F***ing Laws, Not Rules “This is great fun . . . you’ll learn about rugby’s laws with a big smile on your face.
