Summary

This is Manchester City's golden age.
City have a long history of success from being FA Cup winners: In 1904, through the stars of the thirties who won league and cup, the Revie Plan cup winners of the fifties and into the halcyon era when Colin Bell, Francis Lee and Mike Summerbee brought five different trophies to the club in the space of five years beginning in the late sixties. But in the last decade City have emerged as the dominant force of the era.
In 2023 Manchester City achieved the phenomenal success of winning the FIFA Club World Cup, the UEFA Super Cup, the UEFA Champions League, the FA Cup and the Premier League, taking the Premier League for the third season in a row and incredibly a fifth Premier League title in the last six years.
Silverware only tells some of the story. Under Pep Guardiola Manchester City have produced a way of playing that is the envy of the footballing globe. Pace and fluidity of movement characterise City's style and this guide to the Best of Manchester City gives you an at a glance A to Z guide to the story of the most glamorous club of the twenties

    In a little over two and a half minutes on 6 September 2009 Steve Peat cemented his place in mountain biking history, becoming downhill world champion at the seventeenth time of asking and by a winning margin of just five hundredths of a second. But 'Peaty's' road to the coveted rainbow stripes began almost two decades earlier on the woodland trails of Northern England. Born and raised in Sheffield, he narrowly avoided going down the wrong track and instead chose to race cross-country mountain bikes before switching to the rapidly emerging discipline of downhill where he would compete alongside other young British racers including Rob Warner and the late, great, Jason McRoy. Since then, Steve has competed against the greatest riders of all time, including Nicolas Vouilloz, Shaun Palmer and Greg Minnaar, and his name has become synonymous around the world with downhill mountain biking.
In Forged by Speed, Steve shares his incredible story, from the Steel City to the top step of the world championship podium. Honest, compelling and funny, it is the autobiography of a British sporting legend.

In this free sampler we explore 9 locations from three different books. There's a little something in here for everyone, whether you're into waterfalls or mountain views, bushwhacking or staying on the trail and sometimes a little bit of both.

    Seabiscuit (May 23, 1933 to May 17, 1947), foaled in Lexington, Kentucky, on May 23, 1933, from the mare Swing On and sire Hard Tack, a son of Man o' War, was a champion thoroughbred racehorse in the United States that became the top money-winning racehorse up to the 1940s. He beat the 1937 Triple Crown winner, War Admiral, by four lengths in a two-horse special at Pimlico and was voted American Horse of the Year for 1938. Seabiscuit has been immortalized in books and films, including the Shirley Temple film, The Story of Seabiscuit (1949); the book, Seabiscuit: An American Legend (1999) by Laura Hillenbrand, along with the film adaptation of Hillenbrand's book, Seabiscuit (2003), that was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture.

    The ultimate keepsake for every pickleball fan—from a dink shot to the kitchen, everything a pickleballer needs to know in this guide to the world’s greatest recreational sport, packed with lots of joy, good humor, and even a little bit of wisdom. 
 
Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in America. Easy to learn, but impossible to master, it’s no wonder that nearly 5 million people nationwide have picked up their paddles and taken to the court. But people aren’t just dabbling in this up-and-coming activity, they are obsessed; some hit the court as many as five, six, even seven times a week. As Vanity Fair put it, pickleball has “won over everyone, from Leonardo DiCaprio to your grandparents.” 
Pickleball Is Life is the first book of its kind celebrating the weird and wonderful world of pickleball. It will take readers on a journey from the sport’s quirky origins to its modern-day cult following. Along the way, learn more pickleball knowledge, including etiquette tips, a DIY court, obscure rules, and pointers for (good-natured) trash talk. Also included are interviews with members of the three founding families from Bainbridge Island who are still very much involved in the sport and its growth. 
People of all ages, athletic abilities, and backgrounds have fallen in love with pickleball. Sure, it’s a good workout, but it’s also a cheerful way to interact with others—something folks crave now more than ever. So, whether they’re uninitiated or obsessed, this book will help readers find even more to love about the world’s greatest sport. 
Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.
