Sinossi

The island of Britain has over 10,000 miles of coastline, steeped in history and constantly shifting, changing, adapting and providing. The Restless Coast is a moving and beautiful account of a journey around it, during which the author travels its length to discover its challenges and opportunities, and to talk to the people trying to protect it.


At once delightful travelogue and passionate defence, The Restless Coast shines a powerful spotlight into the thin line that surrounds us, and defines our status as islanders. Overarching the journey is the extraordinary natural history of the coastline, together with the story of how man has imprinted himself on its very geology and shape for countless centuries. Into the account, Roger Morgan-Grenville threads the modern challenges that the shoreline faces, and the people who are trying to protect it. At once informative, angry and funny, The Restless Coast is a very personal love letter to our island edge.

    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.

    Fitness challenges are an exciting and empowering way to push the boundaries of your physical and mental capabilities. They offer a structured environment to test your limits and improve your overall health. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or just starting on your fitness journey, taking on a fitness challenge provides an opportunity to grow, overcome obstacles, and develop a deeper understanding of what your body and mind are truly capable of. 
    At its core, a fitness challenge is designed to push you beyond your comfort zone. It’s about stepping outside of the familiar and embracing the unknown. This process not only helps you build strength and endurance but also cultivates resilience. The challenges you face, whether physical or mental, are what drive your progress and teach you valuable lessons that will stay with you long after the challenge is over. 
    Understanding the concept of pushing your limits is crucial in this journey. Our bodies are incredibly adaptable, and with the right training, they can achieve remarkable feats. However, the real challenge lies in the mind. The mental barriers we encounter—self-doubt, fear of failure, or simply the discomfort of pushing past our limits—are often the most difficult to overcome. Fitness challenges teach you how to break through these mental barriers and develop a mindset that thrives on resilience and determination.

    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. And perhaps the best example of this can be seen by looking at Bruce Lee, who had relatively thin arms but was capable of performing some incredible feats. 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. You will also learn the effect of mindset and your emotions in your quest to achieve bigger and stronger muscles.This audiobook will discuss the following:- How to Achieve Athletic Aesthetics With Powerbuilding- How to Design the Perfect Diet for Building Massive Muscle- How to Get Into Running- How to Increase Your Energy Levels to Supercharge Your Workouts and Your Life- How to Increase Your Testosterone Levels- The Critical Importance of Emotion in Weight Lifting- These Are the Only Three Supplements You Need to Build Muscle- What is the Mind Muscle Connection- Why Training Outdoors is Important- Why You Absolutely Should Include Steady- And many more!If you want to learn more, scroll up and click “add to cart” now!

    At the 1984 Olympics, the United States rowing team— for the first time in nearly 30 years— had a serious chance to win an Olympic medal in the single sculls. Four genuine challengers emerged for the opportunity to represent the U.S. They competed fiercely in a sport that held no promise of financial reward. What drove these men to endure a physical pain known to no other sport?
    Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist David Halberstam focuses on these four competitors— Tiff Wood, John Biglow, Brad Lewis, and Joe Bouscaren— in the single sculls trials in Princeton. While one man will win and gain the right to represent the United States in the Olympiad, the losers will have to live with the bitter knowledge that they were not the best, only close to it.
