Sinopsis

"Ancient Games" reveals that sports and games in ancient civilizations were more than simple pastimes; they were integral to cultural identity, social structure, and even political power. The book explores the fascinating ways in which games were intertwined with religious rituals, warrior training, and displays of prowess. For example, games in ancient Egypt, like Senet and Mehen, were connected to religious beliefs and royal power. Understanding these games provides a unique lens through which to view the values and beliefs of ancient peoples. The book charts the progression from informal play to structured competition, highlighting the precursors to modern athletic events, such as the Greek Olympics, and the emergence of standardized rules. The book examines ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome, dedicating sections to each civilization and key game categories. Throughout, the book integrates archaeological findings, historical texts, and sociological theories to offer a comprehensive analysis of ancient games, emphasizing their cultural and social significance.

    Drawing from extensive research, personal trials, and client feedback, I have curated the ten most effective exercises for strengthening the back. A strong back not only improves posture and broadens the shoulders, creating a desirable V-shape, but also helps prevent the forward lean that many elderly individuals experience. While some of these exercises may be familiar, others will make back training your favorite part of your workout. Suitable for all fitness levels, these exercises require only a pair of dumbbells and a door frame at a minimum, though access to a gym would allow you to perform all ten. I hope this guide helps you on your journey to achieving an impressive and healthy back. As a certified professional trainer by the National Federation of Professional Trainers (accredited by the NCAA), I bring you this expertise under certificate number 44582. Enjoy your training!

    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!

    A TIMES BEST MEMOIR OF 2023 
    ‘Grippingly vivid and pacey’ THE TIMES 
    ‘A seven-year old girl on a seventy-foot yacht, for ten years, over fifty thousand miles of sailing’ SIMON WINCHESTER 
    ‘A seven-year old girl on a seventy-foot yacht, for ten years, over fifty thousand miles of sailing … a fantastic story of a truly Odyssean journey across all the world’s great oceans – but is also the inspiring story of the developing of a restless and inquiring mind’ SIMON WINCHESTER 
    'An astonishing almost day-by-day account of [a] hazardous journey and its legacy’ TELEGRAPH 
    ‘This is a story of an epic childhood journey, so exciting and so shocking it is hard to know whether you’re reading about a dream or a nightmare… Wavewalker is thrilling, horrifying, beautifully written – I couldn’t put it down’ ED BALLS 
    Aged just seven, Suzanne Heywood set sail with her parents and brother on a three-year voyage around the world. What followed turned instead into a decade-long way of life, through storms, shipwrecks, reefs and isolation, with little formal schooling. No one else knew where they were most of the time and no state showed any interest in what was happening to the children. 
    Suzanne fought her parents, longing to return to England and to education and stability. This memoir covers her astonishing upbringing, a survival story of a child deprived of safety, friendships, schooling and occasionally drinking water… At seventeen Suzanne earned an interview at Oxford University and returned to the UK. 
    From the bestselling author of What Does Jeremy Think?, Wavewalker is the incredible true story of how the adventure of a lifetime became one child’s worst nightmare – and how her determination to educate herself enabled her to escape 
    ‘A classic memoir of childhood. This is a book that every parent should read to consider the consequences of their midlife crises, and every child should read to learn how to deal with impossible mums and dads, as well as boils and barnacles’ Mail on Sunday 5* 
    ‘An electrifying story about an extraordinary childhood, and Heywood tells it with remarkable clarity and assurance . . . an engrossing book that pitches the reader into the highs and lows of a young life spent in the “Wavewalker School of the Sea”’TLS
