Sinopse

"Extreme Endurance" explores the science behind human limits, contrasting real-world athletic feats with the often-exaggerated portrayals of survival in manga. The book delves into the physiological adaptations enabling extreme endurance and the psychological factors driving individuals beyond perceived limitations. Intriguingly, the cardiovascular system's role in oxygen delivery is vital, alongside metabolic processes and thermoregulation in maintaining body temperature under stress. By critically comparing manga depictions with scientific findings, the book aims to demystify endurance. The book presents information accessibly, building from fundamental principles and examining scenarios from ultra-marathon runners and free divers to survival in harsh environments. It analyzes the science involved, drawing from peer-reviewed articles and expert interviews, while also acknowledging manga's cultural impact. "Extreme Endurance" is structured in three parts: introducing key physiological concepts, examining specific examples, and synthesizing findings to discuss future research and ethical considerations. This unique approach provides a deeper appreciation for the body’s inherent capabilities and the representation of human potential in popular media. Readers gain insights into sports medicine, psychology, and cultural studies, enhancing a holistic understanding of endurance. It connects to sports medicine by examining injury prevention and psychology by exploring mental strategies used by athletes.

    The inspirational story of an amazing group of soccer-playing South African “grannies”. 
    In rural South African, beloved humanitarian “Mama Beka” defied social convention and started a soccer team for the women in her community. The Soccer Grannies, as they came to be known, won over their families and villages who at first rejected the idea of older women playing soccer, and that single team quickly grew into dozens. Soon, the strength, tenacity, and pure joy of the Soccer Grannies had captured the attention of the world. 
    In Soccer Grannies: The South African Women Who Inspire the World, Jean Duffy, a soccer-playing mom herself, recounts how she and her team set to work to bring the Soccer Grannies to the U.S. after hearing their incredible story. Despite many obstacles that stand in their way, the Soccer Grannies finally arrive, and Jean describes the wonderful friendships and cultural exchanges that follow. But Soccer Grannies tells more than just the physical journey of the South African women; it also details the Grannies’ personal journeys, sharing poignant insights into the realities of women living in South Africa. 
    Life beyond the pitch has not been easy for the Grannies. They have persevered through apartheid, rampant poverty and unemployment, the loss of children to AIDS, domestic abuse, and more. But with the friendship and support of their fellow Soccer Grannies, these women face life’s challenges with dignity, humor, and hope. Their stories show to the world the power of sport and its unique ability to bring people and cultures together.

    The charming and joyful follow-up book from ‘the nation’s taster in chief,’ Felicity Cloake. 
    If there’s one thing that truly unites Britain, from Aberdeen to Aberystwyth, St Ives to St Pancras, it’s an obsession with breakfast. 
    We all have an opinion on the merits of brown sauce versus ketchup on our morning bacon sarnie. In this eagerly awaited follow-up to One More Croissant for the Road, the nation’s favourite taster-in-chief Felicity Cloake sets off on a cycle trip of condimental proportions to investigate and celebrate the legendary Great British Breakfast. Travelling the length and breadth of the UK to establish once and for all what makes a perfect fry-up, she rates them on criteria from the crispness of the bacon to how long they keep her pedalling. But a woman cannot live by All Day Breakfast alone, so as well as recipes for the Savoy's Omelette Arnold Bennett and proper Scottish porridge, she lavishes her attention on the regional specialities she encounters along the way, from a desi breakfast in Birmingham to a Greggs Geordie stottie cake. This is a freewheeling gastronomical tour like no other. 
    Eaten with as much relish in The Wolseley on Piccadilly as in Glasgow’s University Cafe, Britain loves nothing more than a good breakfast. The only question is: what do you have with yours? 
    In RED SAUCE BROWN SAUCE, Felicity Cloake, the nation's favourite taster-in-chief, combines her love for cycling and cooking to present a unique travelogue. She explores the best of British breakfasts, from the Welsh desi breakfast to the Scottish stottie cake, making it a top pick for food and travel enthusiasts. 
    For fans of Anna Mcnuff (Barefoot Britain), David Lebovitz (My Paris Kitchen), Janine Marsh (My Four Seasons in France), Jane Bertch (The French Ingredient), and Samin Nosrat (Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat).
