Summary

Trail Signal Codes unveils the often-overlooked yet crucial language of the wilderness, focusing on both established trail markings and the creation of improvised signals. This vital skill set is essential for anyone venturing into the backcountry, especially when verbal communication becomes impossible.

 
The book explores how indigenous populations developed sophisticated navigation systems centuries ago, influencing modern trail marking. It also highlights the psychological aspects of group communication, emphasizing clear protocols for effective decision-making under stressful conditions.

 
The book provides a progressive learning experience, starting with fundamental principles of trail marking, such as understanding blazes and cairns. It then delves into the art of improvised signaling using natural materials and personal gear, showing how to create visual, auditory, and tactile signals.

 
A significant portion is dedicated to group communication, emphasizing the importance of clear roles and pre-planned signals. Trail Signal Codes culminates with practical scenarios, reinforcing learned skills and promoting critical thinking, making it a valuable resource for hikers, backpackers, search and rescue teams, and anyone interested in trail safety.

    Champions: How The Worldcup Was Won

    2 April 2011. After 28 years, the cricket World Cup returned to India when Dhoni's boys beat Sri Lanka on a day that ended in a shower of champagne and confetti. They had started the tournament as favourites, but in the early stages had appeared shaky. Then came the turning point. India were a more purposeful side in the knockout stage, their fielding and bowling efforts now on par with the batting. Led by their captain cool, India took on Australia in Ahmedabad, Pakistan in Mohali and then Sri Lanka in Mumbai with a palpable belief in their own ability. It meant they beat all the former champions. Suresh Menon, easily one of India's best cricketwriters, relives the roller-coaster that was the 2011 World Cup, taking us through the highlights, the disappointments and doubts as well as the triumphs. From Virender Sehwag's boundary off the first ball of the World Cup to Dhoni's final six to the transformation of Yuvraj Singh, it's all here. A running commentary as well as a historical document of one of India's sporting epics.

    Nick Craig's ground-breaking Helming to Win was published 10 years ago to great reviews: "Many sailing books can be recycles of familiar themes and ideas. Not this one! This is a highly personal and radical, fresh view of the subject area." In the following decade since it was published, Nick has won 10 World, 3 European and 20 National Championships! That's winning more championships than most of us have attended over this period. As an amateur sailor, with a senior full-time job, Nick knows how to make the most of his time on the water. Every race is recorded in his notes, every race builds on his knowledge. This new edition of Helming to Win utilises what he has learnt from those 33 championship wins (and many other less successful events), with new learning, new anecdotes, new photos and additional captions on the photo sequences to ensure the key learnings are easy to take on. This updated breakthrough book will help you make the transition from weekend racer to national champion, just as Nick has done. Covering everything from where to look and getting 'in the groove' to mental approaches and championship sailing, you will be working your way up the leaderboard in no time. Packed full of intelligent insight, brilliant top tips and engaging photo sequences, if your goal is to win then this is the book for you!

'A fascinating and insightful read.' - Vir Sanghvi 
'Delightful... A wonderful read.' - Pritish Nandy 
 
Eminent journalist Pradeep Magazine's memoir is a story of lived, real experiences, of joy, sorrow, fear, loss and hope, and about how an uprooted identity shapes one's attitude towards society and the nation. From the Kashmir of the 1950s to terror-stricken Punjab, from the Mandir-Masjid divide and the impact of Mandal politics to the tragic consequences of the Kashmir situation-Magazine paints a fascinating portrait of modern India.  
At the core of the book are accounts of some of the most epochal events in India's cricketing history, woven around personal encounters with several well-known cricketers. The author lays bare the vicious machinations that are a staple diet of sports governance and reveals hitherto unknown facts about the frictions and ego clashes that are inevitable in a game that dominates India's sporting discourse. 
Whether it is cricket that you're keen on, or India's troubled history, Not Just Cricket is a must-listen.
