  This is the story of the adventures of Stobcross Gentlemen's Climbing Club. Against all the odds thrown up by the Scottish weather, faulty map reading and the symptoms of physical decline, they strove to maintain the fine traditions of Scottish mountaineering. They battled through their Munros and Corbetts whilst valiantly trying to celebrate Burns' Night, Guy Fawkes Night and Hogmanay in a ritual calendar of the Scottish Hills.
  
  Alongside these adventures are explorations of a different kind – ones into the history of the bothies and the mountains that make up the present day landscape, as well as the stories of those who have vacated the bens and glens within living memory. Based on Ian Mitchell's research and experiences, Mountain Footfalls adds a new dimension to hillwalkers' appreciation and enjoyment of the Scottish Highlands.

  This book contains three titles, which are: 
  - Cross-Training: Cross-training is a powerful approach to fitness that involves engaging in a variety of exercises and activities to improve overall performance, reduce the risk of injury, and maintain motivation. For athletes of all levels, cross-training provides an opportunity to diversify their workouts, making them more dynamic and enjoyable while enhancing physical and mental resilience. 
  - Strength Training for Runners: Strength training has long been overlooked by runners who often focus solely on logging miles and improving endurance. However, integrating strength training into a runner’s routine is essential for enhancing performance, building resilience, and reducing the risk of injuries. This chapter introduces the foundational concepts of strength training specifically tailored for runners, highlighting why it is a vital component of a well-rounded training program. 
  - Strength Training for Seniors: As we grow older, our bodies naturally lose muscle mass in a process known as sarcopenia. This gradual decline can affect strength, balance, and overall functionality. However, regular strength training can slow, and in some cases, even reverse these effects. By engaging in a consistent exercise routine, seniors can improve their ability to perform everyday activities such as climbing stairs, carrying groceries, or simply getting out of a chair.

  This compendium of minor league shenanigans includes:HOLE IN ONE: In 1942, a Milwaukee Brewers batter hit a low line drive that bounced down the right field line. He rounded the bases while confused Louisville Colonels fielders searched for the ball. They eventually found it inside a gopher hole.MONKEYING AROUND: A chimp's escape turned a Southern Association game into pandemonium on July 17, 1909. "Henry the Chimpanzee," the New Orleans Pelicans' official mascot, busted from his cage and chased players around the field. The chimp then went after fans, who ran from him screaming. The game was delayed a few minutes while Henry was restrained.HEADLESS CRUSHER: A police department in Ohio got a call about a missing head. The Lake Erie Crushers' mascot's head was stolen in 2011, forcing the mascot to miss a few home games.

  Golf is a very hard game to play..."der" everyone knows that. It's also a very technical game and it produces more than its fair share of temper tantrums, self-abuse, expletives and a vast array of emotions. 
  These things can dramatically impact on your game and ultimately your score. 
  So, how do you deal with it? 
  5 Irons Don't Float is written from a golfer's perspective and looks at the more common elements of anger that severely interfere with the game. If you abuse yourself during play, yell, scream, swear like a trooper, throw clubs or allow emotion to spiral out of control, then how can you possibly play well? 
  And, it's a habit...you let this happen, perhaps unknowingly but it was your choice to be a grumpy player. So, let's break that habit today!

  Larry Csonka ran the football with audacity and authority. He lived his off-the-field life with equal abandon. As part of the NFL's 100th Anniversary, he and his undefeated 1972 Miami Dolphins teammates were named the best team in NFL history. 
   
   
   
  In Head On, Csonka shares how they achieved their legendary Perfect Season. From quitting football at a young age, to his often-combative relationship with Coach Don Shula, to brazen exploits with his NFL pals, Csonka narrates a life that is colorful, unbridled, and thrilling. 
   
   
   
  Csonka found himself hanging out with Burt Reynolds, Dick Butkus, Lee Majors, Joe Namath, and Elvis Presley during his football years. But his moments outside the spotlight reveal the most about this larger-than-life figure—raising critters and a little hell in his formative years on an Ohio dirt farm, early run-ins with the law, confronting thieves with a sawed-off shotgun, taking sniper fire on a USO tour of Vietnam, and being adrift at night on the Bering Sea with gale-force winds raging. 
   
   
   
  Csonka's Head On is a captivating account of grit, grace, and gumption told by an iconic Hall of Famer who continues to gain ground—figuratively, literally, and unapologetically—every day.
