Sinossi

True stories from the University of Arkansas athletics program covering football, basketball, baseball, track and field . . . and more football. 
 
The University of Arkansas and its Razorbacks hold a special place in the hearts of Arkansans—not just because the state has no professional sports teams, but because of the colorful players and coaches who have passed through the campus gates. In this two-books-in-one collection Nate Allen chronicles the good, the bad, and the funny from UA’s athletic history. 
 
Including both Tales from Hog Heaven and More Tales from Hog Heaven, Amazing Tales from Hog Heaven is filled with stories of some of the legendary Razorbacks through the decades—from 1st team All-American Ronnie Caveness to eventual Chicago Bears Hall of Fame player Dan Hampton, and so many others. Allen covers the football program’s adjustment in 1998 from the dour Danny Ford to the upbeat Houston Nutt, and Lou Holtz’s one-liners that seared their targets, but sometimes boomeranged. Fans can meet the legendary track coach who told one of his Irish athletes “to row back home,” and read about sportswriter Orville Henry’s penchant for deflating self-important bowl officials. Amazing Tales from Hog Heaven is a must-have for any Razorback fan. 
 
Includes Tales from Hog Heaven and More Tales from Hog Heaven

    The Muscle Hypertrophy Workout Book: A Helpful Resource Guide on Different Ways To Build Muscles Contrary to popular belief, muscle size does not always correlate directly with muscle strength. In general, stronger athletes will have bigger muscles but this does not always hold true. And perhaps the best example of this can be seen by looking at Bruce Lee, who had relatively thin arms but was capable of performing some incredible feats. When it comes to building muscle, only half of the work is done in the gym. What’s just as important, is what you do in the kitchen and what you eat: eat wrong and you’ll be squandering all the effort you put in and all the opportunities for growth.In this audiobook, you will get useful tips on diet and exercise that will help you build muscles. You will also learn the effect of mindset and your emotions in your quest to achieve bigger and stronger muscles.This audiobook will discuss the following:- How to Achieve Athletic Aesthetics With Powerbuilding- How to Design the Perfect Diet for Building Massive Muscle- How to Get Into Running- How to Increase Your Energy Levels to Supercharge Your Workouts and Your Life- How to Increase Your Testosterone Levels- The Critical Importance of Emotion in Weight Lifting- These Are the Only Three Supplements You Need to Build Muscle- What is the Mind Muscle Connection- Why Training Outdoors is Important- Why You Absolutely Should Include Steady- And many more!If you want to learn more, scroll up and click “add to cart” now!

Giving up (or cutting down) on the beer and tobacco, eating a balanced diet (whatever that is) and taking more exercise than a stroll to the bar. This book contains 20 simple ideas to start you off on the route to total fitness. You’ll find out what to eat, the best exercises for fitness and muscle tone and how to build both of these into your daily life with the minimum of effort. You might even enjoy it!

    The lure of a gold-coloured silicon hat is enough to convince George to sign up once again to the Dart 10k swim. 
    But to get the gold hat, he has to swim it twice. 
    Despite the trauma of the previous year’s Dartmoor Classic, George and Rachel sign up again. This time the weather takes a turn for the worse and Rachel is forced to make some creative wardrobe improvisations. 
    Having completed several long bike rides, George now considers himself a relatively experienced cyclist. 
    On the road. 
    Off-road riding, however, is something completely unfamiliar to him. His body (mostly his more sensitive areas) takes one hell of a beating during his first ever mountain-bike adventure. 
    Did Not Finish is a series of books about George and his family’s adventures in running, cycling and swimming. From ultramarathons to triathlons, 10k swims to European cycling adventures, George promises fun and laughter every step, pedal, and paddle of the way.

    In this deeply entertaining book, philosopher and baseball fan Alva Noë explores the many unexpected ways in which baseball is truly a philosophical kind of game. For example, he ponders how observers of baseball are less interested in what happens, than in who is responsible for what happens; every action receives praise or blame. To put it another way, in baseball—as in the law—we decide what happened based on who is responsible for what happened. Noe also explains the curious activity of keeping score: a score card is not merely a record of the game, like a video recording; it is an account of the game. Baseball requires that true fans try to tell the story of the game, in real time, as it unfolds, and thus actively participate in its creation. 
    Some argue that baseball is fundamentally a game about numbers. Noe's wide-ranging, thoughtful observations show that, to the contrary, baseball is not only a window on language, culture, and the nature of human action, but is intertwined with deep and fundamental human truths. The book ranges from the nature of umpiring and the role of instant replay, to the nature of the strike zone, from the rampant use of surgery to controversy surrounding performance enhancing drugs. Throughout, Noe's observations are surprising and provocative. Infinite Baseball is a book for the true baseball fan.
