  THE ESSENTIAL NEW HISTORY OF MANCHESTER CITY'S EUROPEAN TRIUMPHS AND TRAGEDIES
  FEATURING A FOREWORD BY CITY LEGEND FRANCIS LEE
  
  
  As one of the first English sides to taste glory in Europe, lifting the Cup Winners' Cup in 1970, City looked set for life among the continent's elite. But as their domestic fortunes went from bad to worse to absolute calamity, the wilderness returned.
  
  Avid City fan and respected journalist Simon Curtis dusts off the details of some truly intoxicating away days. Filled with tales of the club's travelling support and the evocative accounts of the journalists who saw the team of the Seventies, Curtis tells the story of a club steeped in history, defiantly refusing to bow to pomp and ceremony as it goes about lifting the ultimate prize.
  
  After a spectacular rebuild and having achieved all there is to achieve on the domestic stage, including a record-breaking 100-point season in 2017-18, City's deep-pocketed owners have their sights firmly set on European glory once more. Yet for all their recent success at home, they are anything but welcome guests at Europe's top table.

  The world of fitness is constantly evolving, with new trends emerging every year that promise to revolutionize the way we work out, eat, and live. From the introduction of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) to the rise of yoga and meditation practices, the fitness industry has witnessed a whirlwind of changes over the last few decades. While some trends have become mainstream and proven their effectiveness, others have faded away just as quickly as they arrived. In this book, we explore the shocking truth about fitness trends, shedding light on both the benefits and pitfalls of these ever-changing fads.  
    
  Fitness trends are often shaped by a combination of scientific research, celebrity endorsements, social media buzz, and the desires of consumers looking for the next big thing. With so many new trends popping up every year, it can be overwhelming for individuals trying to navigate the fitness landscape. What’s the best approach? How do we know which trends are backed by real science, and which ones are simply driven by marketing hype?  
    
  The influence of social media and influencers has played a significant role in the rise of many fitness trends. Platforms like Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok have allowed fitness gurus and enthusiasts to reach millions of people with their workout routines and fitness tips. As a result, fitness trends often spread quickly, gaining popularity in the blink of an eye. But not all of these trends are created equal. While some are based on proven methodologies, others are fueled by misinformation or are only popular because they look good on camera.

  The Shocking Truth about...

  Zoey Fraisers

  Emergency preparedness is no longer an option—it is a necessity. With the increasing frequency of natural disasters, pandemics, and unforeseen crises, individuals and communities must be ready to respond at a moment’s notice. Whether it’s a hurricane, wildfire, power outage, or civil unrest, the ability to react swiftly can mean the difference between safety and catastrophe. Unfortunately, too many people remain unprepared, relying on the assumption that government agencies or emergency responders will handle everything. While these organizations play a crucial role, personal preparedness is the first line of defense in any crisis.  
    
  One of the most significant misconceptions about emergency preparedness is that disasters are rare or unlikely to happen. However, global trends suggest otherwise. Climate change has intensified storms, heatwaves, and flooding events, making them more frequent and severe. Earthquakes and wildfires continue to threaten communities worldwide. Beyond natural disasters, cyberattacks, supply chain disruptions, and public health emergencies have highlighted vulnerabilities in modern societies. The COVID-19 pandemic was a stark reminder of how quickly daily life can be upended, leaving many scrambling for essential supplies and reliable information.  
    
  Preparedness goes beyond simply stocking up on food and water. It involves understanding risks, developing an action plan, and ensuring that essential resources are available when needed. A well-thought-out emergency plan includes knowing evacuation routes, securing important documents, and maintaining a communication strategy with family and friends. In an emergency, panic and confusion can lead to dangerous decisions. Those who prepare in advance are better equipped to make rational choices and protect themselves and their loved ones.

  The Science of Climbing Training...

  When it comes to training for climbing, there is an overwhelming amount of information out there. In The Science of Climbing Training, top Spanish climbing coach Sergio Consuegra has analysed our sporting needs from the perspective of exercise and sports science to provide an evidence-based approach to training for climbing. It is designed to help us improve climbing performance, whether we're taking the next step in our training as we work towards a project, or if we're a coach looking to optimise our athletes' training. It doesn't contain any 'magic' training methods, because there are none – although you might be shocked by the science behind some popular methods.
  The first part explains what training is and how different training methods are governed by the physiological and biomechanical processes that occur in the body. The second part looks at how to improve specific needs (such as finger strength and forearm muscle endurance) and general needs (such as basic physical conditioning, pulling strength, pushing strength, strength training for injury prevention) for the different demands and types of climbing and bouldering. The third and final part suggests the best ways to fit it all together. It looks at adjusting training volume and intensity, and tapering to encourage supercompensation, all to help us achieve improved performance, whether it's a breaking into a higher grade, ticking that long-standing project or climbing a dream route.
