  In recent years, there has been a huge influx of interest in climbing. Climbing gyms are popping up all over the place and new climbers are taking to the outdoors, but there aren’t enough old timers to pass on all of the necessary knowledge that comes with taking on such a sport. There is more to climbing than just going up a rock. Once you join the sport, you become part of a community, a family, and there are certain unwritten rules that should be adhered to. You wouldn’t want to give your new community bad name, just because you didn’t want to take the time to learn the ropes, pun intended. 
  Climbing isn’t about muscling your way up the wall. There are techniques you can learn that will make you more efficient and a better climber. In this book, you will learn the fundamentals of climbing and on what makes you a better climber. If you were to take one message out of this book, it is that there is a difference between being a better climber and a stronger climber. You want to be a better climber. Strength comes after. Employ the basics in this book and build a solid foundation of skill. Start slow to avoid any injuries. Be patient. And most importantly have fun!

  46 Things You MUST Know About...

  You see yourself playing overseas at some point, which is why you got this audiobook. Good. 
  Here, I’m sharing essential tips about playing overseas basketball that you may never otherwise have been told - until you were on the wrong end of this information (which is how I learned all this stuff). 
  Wouldn't it be much better to know some things ahead of time? 
  I created my pro basketball career after graduating an NCAA Division III school, were I was a six-foot-four power forward/center who didn’t even play on the basketball team as a senior. 
  I knew less than nothing about playing overseas when I got out of college. I went through many years and thousands of dollars of learning to know what I now share with millions of athletes worldwide. That learning, fortunately, paid off in me putting together a nine-year resume that took me through eight countries playing basketball professionally. Though it was never a perfectly smooth ride, the successes more than made up for the down times. 
  If I could do it coming from less than nothing and keep it going for nine years, you can, too. 
  You can read more about me on my website or the Overseas Basketball Blueprint course page if you wish; this audiobook is about and for you. 
  A lot of players ask me a lot of questions about how to play professional basketball abroad; this is your primer for doing just that. When you’re ready to get the full-course meal, see The Overseas Basketball Blueprint for the entire nine-module course, which covers everything in detail.

  The island of Britain has over 10,000 miles of coastline, steeped in history and constantly shifting, changing, adapting and providing. The Restless Coast is a moving and beautiful account of a journey around it, during which the author travels its length to discover its challenges and opportunities, and to talk to the people trying to protect it.
  
  
  At once delightful travelogue and passionate defence, The Restless Coast shines a powerful spotlight into the thin line that surrounds us, and defines our status as islanders. Overarching the journey is the extraordinary natural history of the coastline, together with the story of how man has imprinted himself on its very geology and shape for countless centuries. Into the account, Roger Morgan-Grenville threads the modern challenges that the shoreline faces, and the people who are trying to protect it. At once informative, angry and funny, The Restless Coast is a very personal love letter to our island edge.
