Summary

In the heart of the Bible belt, only one thing could drive folks to set aside the good Lord's commandment to love thy neighbor—one of the state's longest and most combative high-school football rivalries. Located about 25 miles west of Chattanooga, hard by the Alabama state line and in an area with more pride than prosperity, the level of football achievement at Marion County and South Pittsburg—separated by just eight miles—has fueled the rivalry's intensity for nearly a century.

 
South Pittsburg is the only school in the state that has played for a state championship in all six decades that Tennessee has held a playoff system, while Marion County once reeled off a streak of 56-1 that included four state titles in five years.

 
The proximity and pride of the communities is what energizes the atmosphere of the games. Familiarity truly does breed contempt across Eight Hateful Miles.

    “Not only a gorgeously photographed guide to the best waves in the world but a lucid introduction to the science behind them.” —The Wall Street Journal    Wave watchers around the world know that no two waves are the same. Yet each and every wave that rises, peaks, and crashes onto the beach is generated by a much larger force originating thousands of miles away. Surf journalist team Evan Slater and Peter Taras capture the essence of waves and the swells that produce them in this breathtaking collection of wave photography.   Slater characterizes four distinct swells from different corners of the globe and traces their journeys throughout the year from storm to seashore. His reflective, informative essays amplify these powerful images of hundreds of waves frozen in time, beautiful, simple, universal, yet wholly unique—and the best thing to watch on the planet.

However, with Thinner Leaner Stronger you can finally obtain the body you have always desired. No more overworking yourself in the gym, no more false hopes created by false promises. Michael Matthews has created the ultimate guide for female bodybuilding. 
(Note: This summary is wholly written and published by Abbey Beathan. It is not affiliated with the original author in any way 
"Cardio can enhance fat loss in two ways—burning calories and speeding up your metabolic rate—but that's it."—Michael Matthews 
Thinner Leaner Stronger is an outstanding book for two reasons, first of all, it will get you great results in a relatively short amount of time but also because there are not many female bodybuilding books and if you take into account that most of them are not teaching what you need to learn, then there are fewer out there. However, there is finally a book that will give to you what was promised if you are willing to put the effort. 
Michael Matthews is happy to show you the path to get the "Hollywood babe" body, if you are willing to take the chance.

    In 1933 Maurice Wilson was a decorated but damaged WWI hero. With no reasonable use of his left arm and a severe case of PTSD Maurice wandered through life seeking direction and purpose. Though highly successful in business, he dreamed of doing something that would inspire the world. At 35 years old he decided on a goal. He he would fly a Bi-Plane from England to the slopes of Mount Everest, crash on the upper slopes and walk to the top and become the first person to stand on the summit of the worlds tallest mountain. His main obstacles were: he didn't know how to fly a plane, and he had no mountaineering experience. Learning to fly and then surviving on the mountain were inconveniences compared to the obstacles put up by the British government and the British mountaineering establishment. This is the story of inspiration, determination and naiveté. This is the story of Maurice Wilson.
