  Running Challenges by Keri Wallace showcases 100 of the best runs across Great Britain, from inspiring 5Ks through to epic multi-day ultras. Split into three sections – England, Scotland and Wales – and featuring a mixture of marked trails, organised races and unmarked self-navigated challenges, the runs ramp up in difficulty as you go through each section, so, whether you are a beginner or a more experienced trail, fell, mountain or ultra runner, you can find something achievable, accessible or aspirational.
  Keri draws on her experience as a mountain runner and running guide for Girls on Hills to hand pick the best and most interesting runs across Great Britain, starting with some first-rate parkruns and short trail runs, including the Loch Coruisk loop and the Hampstead Heath circuit, working up to tough and demanding routes and races, such as the Welsh 3000s and the Bob Graham Round. Use this book to tick challenges off, or as a tool to plan where to run next – wherever you are in the UK there will be a run nearby.
  Each run has handy details to help with planning your adventure – start and finish points, distance and ascent, navigational difficulty, public transport, parking, route profile and overview map – along with inspirational text and stunning photography to give you a flavour of what the run is like. Other options nearby are included, along with suggestions for other similar challenges throughout Great Britain.

  ‘A seven-year old girl on a seventy-foot yacht, for ten years, over fifty thousand miles of sailing’ SIMON WINCHESTER 
  ‘A seven-year old girl on a seventy-foot yacht, for ten years, over fifty thousand miles of sailing … a fantastic story of a truly Odyssean journey across all the world’s great oceans – but is also the inspiring story of the developing of a restless and inquiring mind’ SIMON WINCHESTER 
  'An astonishing almost day-by-day account of [a] hazardous journey and its legacy’ TELEGRAPH 
  ‘This is a story of an epic childhood journey, so exciting and so shocking it is hard to know whether you’re reading about a dream or a nightmare… Wavewalker is thrilling, horrifying, beautifully written – I couldn’t put it down’ ED BALLS 
  Aged just seven, Suzanne Heywood set sail with her parents and brother on a three-year voyage around the world. What followed turned instead into a decade-long way of life, through storms, shipwrecks, reefs and isolation, with little formal schooling. No one else knew where they were most of the time and no state showed any interest in what was happening to the children. 
  Suzanne fought her parents, longing to return to England and to education and stability. This memoir covers her astonishing upbringing, a survival story of a child deprived of safety, friendships, schooling and occasionally drinking water… At seventeen Suzanne earned an interview at Oxford University and returned to the UK.

  Discover the answer to life's most pressing problems through the joy of fly-fishing from master philosopher John Gierach. 
   
   
   
  Once again, John Gierach tells the world why the pastime of fly-fishing makes so much sense—except when it doesn't. In sparkling prose, with more than a touch of humor, he recalls the joys of landing that trout he's been watching for the last hour—and then losing an even fatter one a little later. Joy and frustration mix in Gierach's latest appreciation of the fly-fishing life as he takes us from his home waters on the Front Range of the Rockies in Colorado to fishing meccas all over North America. From fishing lodges in Alaska to memories of the local creek in the Midwest where he grew up, Gierach reminds us about the indispensability of the natural world around us.

  Safety and Disaster Management -...

  In the complex ecosystem of urban environments, the twin imperatives of safety and resilience represent some of the most fundamental challenges facing modern cities. As urban populations grow and densify, the vulnerability of metropolitan regions to both human-made threats and natural disasters intensifies, creating unprecedented challenges for governance, planning, and community response. This comprehensive exploration delves into the multifaceted domains of Urban Crime and Safety, Urban Disaster Management, and City Resilience—examining how cities develop systems, strategies, and social infrastructures to protect their inhabitants from harm while building capacity to withstand, recover from, and adapt to catastrophic events. 
  The narrative of urban safety and disaster response transcends technical systems; it encompasses the intricate relationships between built environments, social dynamics, institutional preparedness, and community cohesion that collectively determine how effectively cities can protect their populations. By examining the complex intersections of crime prevention through environmental design, comprehensive disaster risk reduction frameworks, and holistic approaches to urban resilience, this book illuminates how cities are evolving from passive settings where hazards occur to active agents of protection and adaptation. Readers will journey through diverse urban contexts—from crime prevention strategies in high-density neighborhoods to disaster management systems in seismically active regions and resilience-building initiatives in climate-vulnerable coastal cities—discovering how safety and security emerge not merely from technological solutions, but from integrated approaches that strengthen social connections, institutional capabilities, and physical infrastructure simultaneously.
