We Can Boogie - Steve Clarke's Scotland Football Revival

Scott Burns

Beschreibung

Twenty-three long years, 276 tortous months, 1,196 despairing weeks – it's a long time in the wilderness . . . 
After a string of household names failed to deliver, the Tartan Army's foot soldiers finally found a leader who could turn their fortunes round. On his appointment in 2019, former Chelsea stalwart Steve Clarke faced an enormous challenge – but under him nothing feels beyond Scotland's grasp. With the experience of Euro 2020 under his belt and time spent moulding a team capable of going toe to toe with the world's finest, Euro 2024 represents another major milestone.
This book looks behind the scenes of Scotland's remarkable rise and tells the story of the man who has led the revival and how he has transformed the squad. Former teammates and coaching colleagues lend their voices alongside an all-star cast of past and present Hampden favourites in a tale of triumph and hope.

Matchless - Joyce Wethered...

Anonym

Winner of the USGA Herbert Warren Wind Book Award
'Finally – a book that truly captures the inspiring and uniquely gifted women from a largely forgotten golfing age. A wonderful read from start to finish' – Iona Stephen, Sky Sports presenter, commentator and host
From the moment women began hosting championships of their own in 1893, one of golf's burning questions became whether any woman would ever approach the mythical ideal of playing perfect golf. It took three decades of striving – at a time when Suffragettes were stubbornly fighting for women's rights – before Joyce Wethered and Glenna Collett delivered an unequivocal answer to that question.
From their first meeting at Troon in 1925, through a decade highlighted by their breathtaking match at St Andrews, the Englishwoman and the American brought out in one another golf so sublime that rare was the player, man or woman, who could perform as brilliantly.
The rivalry between Wethered and Collett generated such widespread interest and respect that it paved the way for the birth of a women's professional tour. Matchless tells the story of these two incomparable golfers – women who personified the ambitions of their age.

One Mile at a Time - A Memoir of...

Edward M. Rahill

You don't outrun grief. You can't just escape from a dark night of the soul. You have to drive through it…one courageous mile at a time.
Ed Rahill's life has veered off course, and while he dreams of becoming the man his Grandmother taught him to be, he's become haunted by losing the love of his life, and is struggling to have faith in himself.
With his foot on the pedal of GT's since he was a young boy, he enters an outlaw road race across America in the tradition of a Cannonball Run.
Ed and his partner Tim didn't think they stood a chance to win — "We just didn't want to give up on ourselves." Facing the most aggressive, nationwide highway patrol effort in U.S. history, Rahill was presented with the choice we all face at some time in our lives: succumb to our fears of failure and inadequacy, or find the fortitude to go on and leave the world a better place because we are here.
This story is about more than the thrill of speeding through the New Mexico desert at 140mph+. It's about survival, redemption, and discovering who you are when everything else falls away. One Mile at a Time unfolds with heart-pounding adrenaline and deep emotional truth. From Boston to San Diego, Rahill's record-breaking journey becomes a meditation on life, purpose, and the pursuit of meaning in a fast-changing world.
If you loved Ford v Ferrari, this is your next must-read.
Perfect for racing fans, historical memoir readers, road trip lovers, and anyone drawn to stories of resilience, purpose, and redemption.
For everyone who's ever dug their way out of a dark night of the soul, with their heart set on becoming a better version of themselves to leave the world a better place — this is your story.
Get your copy of One Mile at a Time today, and experience the spirit of American endurance racing.

The St. Croix River is a 169-mile ribbon of blue that cleaves the land between Minnesota and Wisconsin. Exploring the St. Croix River Valley provides a tour of the St. Croix Riverway and its 8,000-square-mile watershed. Environmental educator Angie Hong recommends specific places to explore the varied habitats and shows us myriad ways to get out and enjoy by hiking, paddling, biking, skiing, fishing, and more.

With stops at Standing Cedars Community Land Conservancy, Sunfish Lake Park, and the Chequamegon–Nicolet National Forest, listeners will learn about the landscape and its history—groundwater geology and riverside land formations, ephemeral wildflowers and forests lost to logging—and the local fauna such as skinks and osprey, red-headed woodpeckers, grouse, and elk. Along the way, Hong has her own stories to tell, from paddling the Namekagon and wild ricing on the Moosehorn to planting trees with school kids. With its mix of stories and practical information, Exploring the St. Croix River Valley makes an engaging companion for anyone venturing to this extraordinary place.

Secret Carp The (audio)

Chris Yates

The Secret Carp is a fishing book with a difference. As The Independent comments, it is one of the few books that manages to capture the real joy of fishing in such a way that even a non-angler could be seduced. It tells the true story of the events of a single day and night beside an English carp lake in high summer.
When he stumbled upon a long-neglected, overgrown lake holding some monster carp, Chris Yates knew that he had discovered the kind of place about which every carp angler dreams. He set about trying to catch the huge, elusive inhabitants with rod and line. It was a quest that was to reveal many insights into the secretive behaviour of this king of freshwater fish and bring him thrillingly into contact with his quarry.
Waiting, watching and stalking, quite undeterred by the damp sleeping bag and the cold. Yates' enthralling story whispers adventure and promise. And it is punctuated by moments of great drama as monster fish disturb the tranquil world of the angler.
Fishermen of all persuasions will enjoy this masterful angling chronicle.
