The Reclamations

Paul Marlais

Summary

In a future that should have never come to be, The Reclamations takes the reader from the Free Pacific State of California in a Balkanized United States to Mexico, North and South Italy to Austria, then to France, Germany, and a Blighty under the control of the English Caliphate, before wrapping up on the East Coast of the former Republic of America.
The demographic situation in the West has come to a head. Nations have fractured. Sweden has fallen. The Union has been revived but the momentum is on the side of the European Reclamation Project. The New Electric Age has arrived, time travel is now a reality — maybe . . . kind of — the Northwest Chinese Province is pushing south, and the Googlopticon still looms over the Old Continent. This is the setting of a novel that shows how the pages can be turned once there is a will among the peoples of the West to reclaim their homelands.
The Reclamations follows an eclectic cast of characters, from soldiers to spies, scientists to saboteurs, magnates to newsmen, and the journey of an amateur golfer named Edmund Loxley, with ties to a famous outlaw, who finds himself torn between Western Civilization's failed multicultural past and its newly demulticulturalizing future as a second chance lands him a spot playing in the Diversity Open, a golf tournament being held to celebrate the natural diversity of the West, that concludes at the birthplace of the game — the Links in Scotland.
What unfolds is not merely a reclamation of soil, but a reclamation of identity, culture, and hope, as fun and wholesome as it is sure to be censored, that breathes new life into fiction, and brings one of our greatest pastimes to the page.

Breathing for Warriors - Master...

Belisa Vranich, Brian Sabin

This program is read by the author. Dr. Belisa Vranich's ground-breaking second audio book teaches the science, techniques, and benefits of breathing correctly and efficiently for warriors in all walks of life.
People are less in touch with their bodies—and especially their breathing—than ever before. Ironically, athletes and others who pride themselves on taking care of their bodies actually put themselves at greater risk. Why? Because they're asking their body to take on next-level demands, but failing at life's most essential skill: efficient breathing.
Proper breathing is the world's most powerful biohack. Learning it will help you feel better, avoid injury, and perform at your very best (including in bed!). Champion gladiators, master martial artists, even spearfishers all had one thing in common: efficient breathing to achieve flawless execution.
An elite few still understand: Navy SEALs who need to make the perfect shot, super-elite weightlifters who truly understand how to harness and channel their energy, free-divers who can spend seemingly impossible amounts of time underwater, and high-profile execs who keep calm before multi-billion-dollar presentations.
You can learn their secrets.
From the corporate athlete to the tactical ninja, Breathing for Warriors is a practical, science-forward audio book that focuses on everything related to breathing and performance—from muscles and workouts to an impenetrable inner game.
A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin's Essentials

Never Mind the Quantocks - How...

Stuart Maconie

In this hilarious and heart-warming collection of essays, the bestselling author reflects on a life spent exploring the British countryside on foot. 
 
From the splendor of the Pennines and the Lake District to the drama of the Dorset coast; from the canals of the Midlands to wildest Scotland, this book is an attempt to explain a passion for walking and the delights it can bring. 
 
Culled from Stuart Maconie’s monthly column in Country Walking, it’s full of the beautiful places, magical moments and wonderful characters he has encountered on his travels. It discusses such intrepid adventures as taking on the famous “Wainwright” fells of the Lake District, walking Hadrian’s Wall with colleague Mark Radcliffe, and why the most important things to carry in a rucksack are a transistor radio and a small bottle of red wine. 
 
Praise for Stuart Maconie 
 
“Maconie makes a jovial, self-deprecating narrator. Sharp and funny.” —The Guardian 
 
“He is as funny as Bryson and as wise as Orwell.” —The Observer 
 
“Stuart Maconie is the best thing to come out of Wigan since the A58 to Bolton.” —Peter Kay 
 
“An heir to Alan Bennett . . . stirring and rather wonderful.” —The Sunday Times

The History of Chess

H. J. R. Murray

Murray's History of Chess is regarded as the most authoritative and most comprehensive history of the game. Murray's aim is threefold: to present as complete a record as is possible of the varieties of chess that exist or have existed in different parts of the world; to investigate the ultimate origin of these games and the circumstances of the invention of chess; and to trace the development of the modern European game from the first appearance of its ancestor, the Indian chaturanga, in the beginning of the 7th century. The first part of the book describes the history of the Asiatic varieties of chess, the Arabic and Persian literature on chess, and the theory and practice of the game of shatranj. The second part is concerned with chess in Europe in the Middle Ages, its role in literature and in the moralities, and with medieval chess problems, leading up to the beginning of modern chess and the history of the modern game through to the 19th century.

In the Shadow of Ben Nevis

Ian Sykes

In 1959, sixteen-year-old Ian 'Spike' Sykes left school and, after a short period of work at Leeds University, joined the RAF. Already a keen climber, he signed up on the promise of excitement and adventure and was posted to the remote RAF Kinloss Mountain Rescue Team in the north of Scotland. It was the beginning of a journey which would see him involved in some of the most legendary call-outs in Scottish mountain rescue history, including the 1963 New Year tragedy on the Isle of Skye. In the Shadow of Ben Nevis tells Spike's story from growing up in Leeds in the aftermath of the Second World War, to his time with the RAF during the cold war. After leaving the RAF, he remained an active member of the Lochaber Mountain Rescue Team and was involved in the first lower down the north face of Ben Nevis - an epic 1,500-foot descent to rescue stricken climbers in the middle of winter. Following a two-and-a-half-year stint on Antarctica with the British Antarctic Survey, he returned to the Highlands and opened the first Nevisport shop with his close friend Ian 'Suds' Sutherland. Together, they brought Sunday trading to Fort William and were one of a small number of shops to revolutionise outdoor retail in the UK. Later, he was a key player in the development of the Nevis Range ski area. Over many years, and against all odds, the project became a reality and a great success. Recounted within these pages are a great many lively tales of adventures and mishaps, told with immediacy and charm. With a foreword by legendary Scottish mountaineer Hamish MacInnes, a close friend of Spike's, In the Shadow of Ben Nevis is a must-read for anyone with an interest in Scottish mountaineering and mountain rescue.
