Sinopse

Mountain Climbing explores the demanding world of mountaineering, detailing the skills, challenges, and inherent risks involved in scaling towering peaks. It examines the physical and mental strength needed, and the importance of teamwork in extreme environments. The book highlights intriguing facts such as the physiological effects of high altitude on the human body, including reduced oxygen levels and intense UV radiation, requiring climbers to understand acclimatization strategies.

 
The book progresses from a historical overview of mountaineering to the science behind high-altitude climbing, underscoring the necessity of understanding both technical aspects and environmental factors. Case studies of famous climbs and disasters provide valuable lessons. It emphasizes the importance of preparation, respect for the mountain, and ethical decision-making.

    A Raw Story and Real Advice to Change Your Life 
    What if your life began in a place where violence was normal, alcohol was survival, and every friendship could end in a fight? 
    This is the brutally honest memoir of a young man from Eastern Europe who grew up surrounded by chaos — and refused to stay in it. 
    Fistfights in the streets. Addiction to computer games. Betrayal in love. Cold nights without food or heating. 
    Every chapter is a punch to the gut — and a lesson in survival. 
    But this story isn't just about pain. 
    It's about the power of change. 
    About escaping the darkness and building a new life — through discipline, education, and belief in yourself. 
     Inside this book: 
    ✅ A true coming-of-age story filled with raw experiences, 
    ✅ Powerful lessons on overcoming poverty, addiction, and broken relationships, 
    ✅ Real-life motivation for teens, young men, and immigrants trying to rebuild, 
    ✅ No excuses. No sugar-coating. Just the truth. 
    You will follow Roman Kartashevsky's journey: 
    – from forgotten villages to brutal jobs, 
    – from street fights to the kickboxing ring, 
    – from part-time studies in Belarus to earning a master's degree in Poland. 
    He didn't have perfect parents, money, or luck. 
    But he had something else: the will to fight for a better future. 
     This book is for: 
    Boys and men growing up without role models 
    Teens trapped in toxic environments 
    Immigrants trying to start again 
    Anyone who needs a wake-up call to fight for their life 
    Readers of gritty, motivational memoirs like Can't Hurt Me, The Way of the Fight, or Man's Search for Meaning 
    You don't need money, privilege, or a lucky break. 
    You need courage. 
    And someone to tell you: 
     I crawled out of hell. Now it's your turn!

They'd better spend it fishing . . .So they dusted off  their kits, chucked on their waders and ventured into the achingly  beautiful British countryside to fish, rediscover the joys of their  friendship and ruminate on some of life's most profound questions, such  as: How did we get so old?

What should we do if we find a corpse?Following the success of the BBC's Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing  series, this wonderful audiobook by two lifelong friends is a love  letter to the joys of angling, the thrill of the catch and the virtue of  having a right daft laff with your mates.

    Essential listening for every runner – it's time to find out, could you too be a Running W*nker? 
    Alison Stankard is a Running W*nker. 
    But it didn’t happen overnight. A few morning stumbles around the block in a bid to become pert-bottomed somehow turned into something else: 5ks, 10ks, marathons and even ultra marathons. Then one day, whilst looking at her at her lack of toenails, embarrassingly large collection of training shoes and collection of buffs, it dawned on her: she had become a Running W*nker. 
    Some people can go out for an occasional run and not obsess over every little detail. They might not think to take a photo of their hill sprints to post on social media or be able to recite their splits from the race that got them a PB to anybody who ’ ll listen. All impossible if you’re a true Running W*nker. 
    There are a lot of books about running. Serious books with marathon plans, advice on nutrition and injury prevention. This book isn’t that. It’s a sweary, honest celebration of all the things that Running W*nkers new and old get up to: shitting in bushes, going down the stairs on your arse because your legs won’t bend the day after a marathon, lying about how much trainers cost and plotting how to rig the London Marathon ballot. 
    The question is: are you a Running W*nker too? 
    For runners who pretend it’s all about health and fitness, this non-fiction humour story nails the topic with the best, most top-tier stories of sports-and-exercise madness. From jogging “for recreation” to living for the latest running obsession, it’s a brutally honest celebration of what you do when you’re definitely a Running W*nker.

    Water Borne - A 1200-Mile...

    In June 2023, writer Dan Rubinstein lashed camping gear to his stand-up paddleboard and embarked on an improbable solo voyage from Ottawa to Montreal, New York City, Toronto, and back to Ottawa along the rivers, lakes, and canals of a landlocked region. Over 1,200 miles and 10 weeks, he explored the healing potential of “blue space” — the aquatic equivalent of green space — and sought out others drawn to their local waters.
    		 
    But the farther Rubinstein paddled, the more he realized that being in, on, or around water does more than boost our mental and physical health and prompt stewardship toward the natural world. He discovered that blue spaces are also a way to connect with the kaleidoscopic cross-section of people he met and the diverse geographies and communities he passed through.
    		 
    Weaving together research, interviews, and an unmacho, malodorous, anticolonial adventure tale, Water Borne shows us that we don’t need an epic journey to find solutions to so many modern challenges. Repair and renewal may be close at hand: just add water.
