Sinossi

Chess Endgame Tactics transforms the often-dreaded chess endgame into a powerful weapon. This book unveils critical strategies for dominating the final phase of the game, focusing on king activity and pawn structure manipulation. 

 
Endgame mastery is crucial, since the ability to convert small advantages into wins, defend tricky positions, or salvage draws depends on a solid grasp of endgame principles. Without this understanding, even brilliant middlegame play can be undone. The book illustrates how these tactics coalesce to determine victory, even at the grandmaster level.

 
The book progresses systematically, starting with core concepts like opposition, triangulation, and zugzwang. It then delves into specific endgame types, such as king and pawn, rook, minor piece, and queen endgames, all illustrated with grandmaster examples. A key focus is on calculation, providing techniques for visualizing variations and avoiding common errors.

 
What sets this book apart is its practical approach, offering a toolkit of techniques applicable to various endgame situations, helping players avoid costly errors.

Great Sierra Waters The Eastern...

Terry Courtright

Great Sierra Waters, the Eastern Slope is a definitive study of the Truckee River but also includes the Owens and the East Walker. It's a serious fly-fishing book that shows you how to fish these rivers, what to use as far as fly patterns, and how to tie them for your greatest success. In addition to the fishing information which represents 60 years of fishing knowledge by the author, it details the plight of the Lahontan Cutthroat that has existed in the Truckee River drainage for 10 million years. This drainage runs from Lake Tahoe to Pyramid Lake and the Cutthroats have been famous since the 1930's when fishermen flocked from all over the world to fish for them.
In the last twenty years the original strain was found in a few tributaries in the Pilot Peak range of north central Nevada. They have taken hold again in Pyramid Lake and fish in excess of 30 pounds are currently available and they're running up the Truckee to spawn. The demise of the Truckee began with the building of Derby Dam in the early 1900s. The last great spawning run occurred in 1938, and the average fish weighed 18 1/2 pounds. The last great Cutthroat trout was caught in 1949 in downtown Reno, Nevada and weighed twenty-two pounds and ten ounces.
As a boy, author Terry Courtright fished it constantly from the time he was 10 years old until he left for college. He later came back and wrote outdoor columns about fly fishing the Truckee, then moved back to Montana to fish all of the great waters in the West. As we speak, there is a great resurgence of interest in recovering this fish in this fishery and Courtright's last chapter on this book called The Restoration of the Lahontan Cutthroat brings to light the most sophisticated and workable fisheries plan that has ever been developed. Great Sierra Waters is a welcome and timely addition to knowledge of the trout fisheries everywhere.

Growing Hockey

Adam Rothstein

Ice hockey is perhaps the most unique sport ever created. It is one of the few team sports played on ice, and the athletes that play the game have to train very differently compared to most other sports. Hockey players need to master not only going forwards but going backward as well. 
No other sport has changed as much as ice hockey has. From the evolution of goalie techniques, the design of the skates, and the materials used to make the sticks, this game has certainly gone through many phases. In this book, Adam Rothstein goes through the history of the game, the rules, his hockey journey, and how you can become a ref, coach, or player. This audiobook was created to grow the sport of hockey.

Riding Through War and Peace

Michael Pugh

Summer 2014. Crimea has been seized; death and destruction are running wild in eastern Ukraine. Michael Pugh has heard the rumble of dragons awakening, and despite the splendour of life as an expat lawyer in Moscow, decides it is time to go. With a love of Russia dating back to his student days, Michael chooses to leave the slow way: by horse. Riding west through a bucolic Russian landscape of wildflower meadows to monasteries and historic battle sites is like riding back in time. Soon, Dog Friday joins Michael and they ride deeper into a vast wilderness, dotted with forgotten aristocratic estates meeting fascinating characters along the way. There's a change of pace in Belarus when Michael swaps his Kabardin steed Parliament for Marlboro, a stallion with a nose for adventure. Fire, dancing and song envelop him at the midsummer festival of Kupala. Riding on, he explores the vanished lives of the Poles and the Jews. Despite dark warnings about Ukraine, Michael finds a welcoming people, fiercely proud to defend their beautiful country from Russia. Finally, he navigates the complex legacy of Austria-Hungary in Romania. Throughout, his journey is lifted by the antics of horses, guides and stable girls; by the kindness of the strangers and friends and by the great quantities of delicious food and fiery moonshine.

The Cycling City - Bicycles and...

Evan Friss

Cycling has experienced a renaissance in the United States, as cities around the country promote the bicycle as an alternative means of transportation. In the process, debates about the nature of bicycles—where they belong, how they should be ridden, how cities should or should not accommodate them—have played out in the media, on city streets, and in city halls. Very few people recognize, however, that these questions are more than a century old. 
 
The Cycling City is a sharp history of the bicycle’s rise and fall in the late nineteenth century. In the 1890s, American cities were home to more cyclists, more cycling infrastructure, more bicycle friendly legislation, and a richer cycling culture than anywhere else in the world. Evan Friss unearths the hidden history of the cycling city, demonstrating that diverse groups of cyclists managed to remap cities with new roads, paths, and laws, challenge social conventions, and even dream up a new urban ideal inspired by the bicycle. When cities were chaotic and filthy, bicycle advocates imagined an improved landscape in which pollution was negligible, transportation was silent and rapid, leisure spaces were democratic, and the divisions between city and country were blurred. Friss argues that when the utopian vision of a cycling city faded by the turn of the century, its death paved the way for today’s car-centric cities—and ended the prospect of a true American cycling city ever being built.

“There Will Always Be Saturday”...

Stuart MacDonald

As featured in The Times: “The heart and soul of rugby lives here.” 
What readers are saying:   
“This isn’t just a book, this is scripture.” 
“I read it with tears in my eyes — it captures everything special about club rugby.” 
“A love letter to team sports and the friendships that shape us.” 
For more than a decade, the Old Northamptonians 3rd XV fought, laughed, stumbled, and triumphed their way through the heart of Northampton rugby. What began as a scratch side on the brink of collapse became a team that defined a club — and a community. 
In this warm and often hilarious memoir, Stuart MacDonald charts the unlikely rise of the self‑proclaimed best 3rd XV in the UK. From chaotic away days and last‑minute call‑ups to league titles, unforgettable characters, and the quiet heroism of simply turning up, this is grass‑roots rugby in all its messy, brilliant glory. 
Set against the backdrop of Billing Road and shaped by the legacy of those who came before, There Will Always Be Saturday captures what rugby truly means: resilience, belonging, and the unbreakable bond of a Saturday. 
A story of leadership, loyalty, and the team that refused to disappear — and the people who made it unforgettable. 
If you’ve ever laced up your boots, stood on a touchline, or found a home in a club, this story will feel like coming back to the changing room.
