    The Muscle Hypertrophy Workout Book: A Helpful Resource Guide on Different Ways To Build Muscles Contrary to popular belief, muscle size does not always correlate directly with muscle strength. In general, stronger athletes will have bigger muscles but this does not always hold true.

When it comes to building muscle, only half of the work is done in the gym. What’s just as important, is what you do in the kitchen and what you eat: eat wrong and you’ll be squandering all the effort you put in and all the opportunities for growth.In this audiobook, you will get useful tips on diet and exercise that will help you build muscles.

    'Bowler's Name' is a tale of a life in cricket's margins. Tom Hicks is no household name, but he often rubbed shoulders with cricketing royalty, going from the village green to walking out as captain at Lord's. As an ambitious youngster, Hicks dreamed of reaching the top. But trying to make it big and balance the demands of university, family, a full-time job and a penchant for post-match fun was no easy feat. Settling for an unglamorous life as a minor county player, cricket took him to all corners of the country, and then across the globe, getting an insight into the nether regions of a cricketing world that was rapidly vanishing. Through the eyes of a cricket nut, 'Bowler's Name' takes us on a journey of success, failure, hilarity and often sheer madness. If you've ever wondered what it's like to face 90mph bowling, to have lunch with Mike Gatting or to infiltrate an England post-match party, Hicks is your man. 'Bowler's Name' is for fans of cricket idiosyncrasies, lovers of the underdog and anyone who has tried and failed.

    Upon that Mountain is the first autobiography of the mountaineer and explorer Eric Shipton. In it, he describes all his pre-war climbing, including his Everest bids of the 1930s, and his second Karakoram survey in 1939, when he returned to Snow Lake to complete the mapping of the ranges flanking the Hispar and Choktoi glacier systems around the Ogre.
    Crossing great swathes of the Himalaya, the book, like so many of Shipton's works, is both entertaining and an important addition to the mountain literature genre. It captures an important period in mountaineering history - that just before the Second World War - an ends on an elegiac note as Shipton describes his last evening at the starkly-beautiful snow lake, before he returns to a 'civilisation' about to embark on a cataclysmic war.

    Disabled as a result of childhood meningitis, Paul Hodgson has written this autobiography in order to challenge the stereotype of the wheelchair-bound victim.
    Far from being a passive spectator, we learn how Paul struggled to care for his mother through several strokes and Alzheimer's disease and of the rift this caused within his family. He also speaks of the Community Care system, his experiences of education and employment, and the loyalty of his friends.
    This is his account of life as a fan of Darlington Football Club which reveals another side to Paul's nature, with its fascinating compendium of mishaps and drink-fueled escapades, which are invariably laced with his own brand of black humour.
    Give Them Wings is a graphic story of one man's fortitude in the face of severe odds, it offers a unique insight into what it means to be disabled in modern society.
    The book ties in with a blockbuster film of his life, Give Them Wings, directed by Sean Cronin and due to be released in summer 2021. The film won the "Best Feature" at The London Independent Film Festival and stars Daniel Watson (as Paul) together with Toyah Wilcox.
