  From the director of the wildly popular Bush Mechanics and Black As - a can-do guide for your next outback adventure filled with practical advice, ripper yarns and road-trip tips. 
    
  Driving around Australia is one of life's biggest adventures, if you're crazy enough to do it. But as anyone who has broken down on the Nullarbor can attest, it's nerve-wracking to head out into the big red. 
  David Batty knows how to get out of hairy situations because he's wound up in a bunch himself. From nearly being washed away by flash floods in the Kimberley to being marooned on an island in the Top End eating stingray, Batty's Bush Bible is chock-full of yarns from David's four decades as a film director in the most remote regions of Australia. He has lived in Alice Springs and Broome longer than he has in the Big Smoke, has traversed the Tanami Track between Alice Springs and Darwin hundreds of times and reckons he's done more laps of Australia than a Qantas plane. 
  This book also contains the wisdom of many of the First Nations people he has worked with throughout his career, including interviews with the original Bush Mechanics and Black As boys. You'll find out how they stuff blown tyres with spinifex, fashion mulga wood into gear sticks and keep cars going long after their used-by date - and learn how to have a whirl yourself. 
  Batty's Bush Bible is your guide to going bush and living to tell the tale. Filled with practical advice, ripper yarns and road-trip tips, it's designed to be picked up, put down, tossed in the glove box or, if you really need it, used for kindling to cook your tailgate dinner. So whether you're a grey nomad, living your best #vanlife or just looking to do a bit of imaginative armchair tourism, this book is your bible for how to stay out of trouble in the outback - and make your own.

  The Race to be Myself

  Caster Semenya

  Aged eighteen, Caster Semenya shot to fame on the global sporting stage for her blistering speed. But shrouding her monumental win were fierce rumours about her physical body rather than her phenomenal performance.
  Called 'a threat to the sport' and 'not woman enough', she found herself at the centre of the debate around the newly drawn line between gender and sport. Throughout the intense speculation, harmful rumours and long legal battle she has remained quiet, letting her running do the talking until she was banned from competing and defending her Olympic title in 2020.
  Now, Caster is ready to own her story and tell it in full. In this book, Caster speaks openly about growing up in a loving family and community that never regarded her as different, just Caster; of her early years understanding her agency, sexuality and athletic ability; and of her infectious spirit and tenacity to be the best.
  Told with conviction and humour, The Race To Be Myselfis the story of a life lived in the spotlight, a manifesto for acceptance and change for all. This is the unforgettable story of one of the most recognisable athletes in the world, and of a woman's journey to run free.
  'A story that makes us all interrogate our humanity and the world we build with our actions every day.' Trevor Noah

  Racing with Rich Energy - How a...

  Formula One has long maintained a glitzy aura that masks dark and strange goings-on in the background. But with the 2019 season came a force louder than Formula One could dream of muffling: William Storey, the founder of British energy drink startup Rich Energy. 
   
   
   
  Storey became a multimillion-dollar sponsor of the Haas Formula One team a year after records showed Rich Energy having a mere $770 in the bank. He equated his doubters to moon-landing truthers and publicly mocked both the Haas team and the entities winning legal disputes against him. But where were actual cans of Rich Energy, and did the supposed sponsorship funds exist? 
   
   
   
  In the six months between Storey's first race as a Formula One sponsor and his very public exit, he stole the spotlight with a loud mouth and an active Twitter account. Haas team boss Guenther Steiner once described the Rich Energy news cycle as: "I'm getting sick of answering these stupid fucking questions on a race weekend. I've never seen any fucking thing like this." No one else had, either. This book uncovers the complete, bizarre story.

  HORSE RIDING FOR BEGINNERS - A...

  Numerous physical and psychological advantages of horseback riding contribute to general well-being. First off, riding calls for strength, balance, and coordination in terms of physical fitness. While riding, riders frequently change their balance, which helps to build stronger core muscles and increase stability in general. Along with improving strength and muscular tone, maintaining a proper riding position engages several muscle groups, including the legs, arms, and back. 
  Horseback riding is also advantageous for your heart. An aerobic workout that stimulates the heart is provided by the rhythmic action of riding, such as the rise and fall of the horse's pace. Regular riding sessions can build endurance, circulate blood more efficiently, and raise heart rate. 
  Horseback riding has advantages for mental health in addition to physical health. The relationship between the rider and the horse fosters friendship and trust. Spending time with horses can be therapeutic because it enables people to get away from the stresses of everyday life and find comfort in their company. 
  Additionally, horseback riding is a rare chance to be in touch with the natural world. Riding a horse allows riders to immerse themselves in the grandeur of the natural world as they explore paths, meadows, and forests. When combined with the rhythmic motion of the horse, the calmness and tranquility of the surroundings can have a relaxing impact on the mind, easing tension and fostering relaxation.

  No origin story of the New York Mets is complete without Ed Kranepool. 
   
   
   
  The lefty first baseman known as "Steady Eddie" made his major-league debut at age seventeen during the team's inaugural season and would eventually depart, nearly two decades later, with his name written throughout the franchise's record books. 
   
   
   
  In this definitive autobiography, Kranepool shares a remarkable life story, including early years playing stickball in the streets of the Bronx, the growing pains the Mets endured as an expansion club, his off seasons working as a New York stockbroker, and of course the miracle 1969 season that ended in an unforgettable World Series victory. 
   
   
   
  He also opens up about the personal miracle which came fifty years after that famous championship: a lifesaving kidney transplant made possible by a Mets fan donor. A month after the surgery, Kranepool threw out the first pitch at Citi Field and boldly offered his services as a pinch hitter. 
   
   
   
  Affable, open, and brimming with knowledge of the game, this thoroughly New York tale will delight baseball fans in Queens and beyond.
