Sinopsis

Crag Winds Defy tackles the critical yet often misunderstood aspects of climbing safety, focusing on rope and anchor systems. It bridges the gap between theoretical physics and practical climbing, highlighting how a deep understanding of dynamic forces and material properties can significantly reduce the risk of accidents. Unlike rote memorization of techniques, the book emphasizes critical thinking and informed decision-making, crucial in unpredictable climbing environments.

 
Did you know that even a seemingly simple knot can drastically reduce a rope's strength? Or that anchor selection varies greatly depending on rock formations and loading scenarios?

 
The book’s structure systematically builds from basic rope mechanics to complex anchor systems and real-world applications like lead climbing and rescue scenarios. By using experimental data, accident reports, and expert opinions, Crag Winds Defy offers a rigorous analysis of climbing safety. It's a valuable resource for climbers, instructors, and safety professionals seeking a science-based approach to minimizing risk in this exhilarating sport.

    Now a major motion picture!  
    Everyone deserves a second chance on the course--and in life. Join golf pro Wally Armstrong and author Ken Blanchard as they condense decades of practical know-how into a simple book with an incredible, inspiring message: sometimes we all need a mulligan.  
    Meet Paul McAllister. An Ivy League-educated founder of a multimillion-dollar business, Paul was a success in almost everything except life and golf. It only took one Pro-Am afternoon, one short putt, and one airborne putter to send his world flying in a different direction: a mulligan! 
    Golf's gracious do-over, a mulligan, was the beginning of Paul's own second chance. Guided by the wisdom and advice of an old pro, Paul learned about priorities, self-confidence, and playing a good game both on and off the course. You'll learn all about:The importance of friendshipsThe true meaning of forgivenessDetaching from outcomes and embracing positivityThe value of having mentors to guide you along the way 
    Written in a parable style, The Mulligan will give you a second chance to change it all, improving your life and your golf game along the way. 
    Praise for The Mulligan:  
    "Wally Armstrong and Ken Blanchard not only understand golf, but life and the value of relationships. They have put together a story that should warm your heart, help your golf game, and just may touch your life." 
    --Jack Nicklaus, golf legend and 1974 inductee to the World Golf Hall of Fame 
    "For those who have learned that golf is more than just a game, The Mulligan will be welcome reading that will provide helpful insights not just for their golf game, but for their lives as well." 
    --Ben Crenshaw, two-time Masters Champion and 2002 inductee to the World Golf Hall of Fame

    Loss. Defeat. Hardship. Suffering. Pain. They're at the center of the experience of being human. And yet, these experiences can cripple-unless they result in strength.  When a sudden accident resulted in multiple fractures to his leg and threatened to take him out of soccer permanently, Steve Zakuani faced his biggest challenge yet. The road to his soccer success hadn't merely involved athletic challenges; in the years leading up to his position with the Seattle Sounders, Zakuani had overcome an upbringing in one of London's roughest neighborhoods, battled personal apathy, and learned to not only walk but run after an accident that left doctors without hope for his future in soccer. He found renewed purpose through the influence of a mentor and, through that mentor, found his purpose in God's call on his life.  Yet his early challenges began to look small after Zakuani suffered another injury that broke his leg-and, this time, threatened his career. That injury-and the 500 days of recovery before he returned to the field-forced him to grapple with who he was when his identity in soccer and his personal goals were taken out of his hands. This book, drawn from journals written during his recovery, gives readers a raw, honest look into Zakuanis story-and coach readers how to face tragedy with a positive mindset, how to set goals that are bigger than their adversity, how to remain hopeful in their darkest moments, and how to help others in their life overcome their own adversities.  Includes a study guide to aid in personal reflection or group discussion

    Love them or hate them, what the New England Patriots have been able to do over the past fifteen years is nothing short of remarkable. In addition to their four Super Bowl championships, the Patriots have the best coach in the league, a smart and savvy front office, and a future Hall of Fame quarterback who is internationally recognized as the face of the NFL. The longer the Patriots continue to dominate on the field as well as in the media and the American pop culture landscape, the harder it becomes for anyone to remember them as something other than a model franchise and the ultimate paradigm of success and accomplishment. 
    Anyone, that is, except for Jerry Thornton. It wasn’t always sunshine and roses for the Patriots; in fact, for the bulk of their existence, it was exactly the opposite. Though difficult to fathom now, the New England Patriots of old weren’t just bad—they were laughably bad. Not so long ago, the Pats were the laughingstock of not only the NFL but also the entire sporting world. 
    From Darkness to Dynasty tells the unlikely history of the New England Patriots as it has never been told before. From their humble beginnings as a team bought with rainy-day money by a man who had no idea what he was doing to the fateful season that saw them win their first Super Bowl, Jerry Thornton shares the wild, humiliating, unbelievable, and wonderful stories that comprised the first forty years of what would ultimately become the most dominant franchise in NFL history. 
    Witty, hilarious, and brutally honest, From Darkness to Dynasty returns to the thrilling, perilous days of yesteryear—a welcome corrective for those who hate the Patriots and a useful reminder for those who love them that all glory is fleeting.

    Jan Ullrich: The Best There Never Was is the first biography of Jan Ullrich, arguably the most naturally talented cyclist of his generation, and also one of the most controversial champions of the Tour de France.In 1997, Jan Ullrich announced himself to the world by obliterating his rivals in the first mountain stage of the Tour de France. So awesome was his display that it sent shockwaves throughout the world of cycling and invited headlines such as L’Équipe’s ‘The New Giant’. He went on to become Germany’s first ever Tour winner, storming to victory in that edition by almost ten minutes, a result that was greeted as an era-defining changing of the guard. Everyone agreed: Jan Ullrich was the future of cycling. He was soon also voted Germany’s most popular sportsperson of all time, and his rivalry with Lance Armstrong defined the most controversial years of the Tour de France.Now, Daniel Friebe – who has covered twenty-one editions of the Tour de France – has gone in search of the man who was said in 1997 would go on to dominate his sport for a generation, but never quite managed it.Just what did happen to the best who never was?This is a gripping account of how unbearable expectation, mental and physical fragility, the effects of a complicated childhood, a morally corrupt sport and one individual – Lance Armstrong – can conspire to reroute destiny.Daniel Friebe takes us from the legacy of East Germany’s drugs programme to the pinnacle of pro cycling and asks: what price can you give sporting immortality?
