Synopsis

"Trekking Legends" explores the captivating stories of adventurers who dared to conquer Earth's most formidable terrains. It delves into the extreme environments, geographical challenges, and personal transformations experienced during iconic treks. The book focuses on what drives individuals to push beyond known limits and how careful planning is as crucial as physical endurance in these long-distance treks.

 
The book examines how historical context shaped these adventures, from early expeditions driven by trade to modern treks motivated by science. It showcases the human spirit's resilience, detailing both the psychological and physiological demands involved in mountaineering and exploration. For instance, early expeditions greatly contrast with contemporary treks, which often prioritize environmental impact. Each chapter analyzes specific treks, highlighting the meticulous preparations made by the trekkers and the critical decisions they faced.

 
Progressing from an introduction to extreme trekking to detailed accounts of treks through the Himalayas, Amazon, and Sahara, the book culminates in a discussion of human resilience and the importance of preserving wild spaces. This approach allows for a comprehensive understanding of the blend of biography and travel, showing how these journeys reshape one's understanding of self and the world.

    ‘A riveting read that skips along at pace. Illuminating and concerning, it lifts the lid on the tawdry world of Westminster powerbroking’ Tim Shipman, The Times 
    YOU THINK YOU LIVE IN A WORLD WHERE THE ELECTED ARE CHOSEN BY THE PEOPLE. 
    THINK AGAIN. 
    When Boris Johnson came to power in 2019, he did so with the largest Conservative majority since Margaret Thatcher. Rewriting the political map, he united a party and shattered Labour’s fabled red wall. And yet, just three years later, he was ousted by the same members who had once greeted his leadership so rapturously. 
    What had gone so wrong? 
    The Plot is the seismic, fly-on-the-wall account of how the saviour of the Conservative Party became a pariah. Told with unparalleled access, from multiple inside sources talking with astonishing candour, it reveals the shocking truth about powerful forces operating behind the scenes in the heart of Westminster and those who became the architects of a Prime Minister’s downfall. 
    This is the story of a damning trail of treachery and deceit fuelled by an obsessive pursuit of power, which threatens to topple the very fabric of our democracy. 
    The Plot is a non-fiction biography that takes readers on a journey through the labyrinth of political parties, ideologies, and the heads that govern them. Penned by Sunday Times bestselling author Nadine Dorries, it's a revealing look at the corruption and misconduct that often goes unnoticed. 
    For fans of Rory Stewart (Politics On the Edge), and Barbra Streisand (My Name is Barbra).

    ‘The game isn’t what it seems from the outside. The game isn’t quite what I was expecting. The game doesn’t always work like the people on television think it does. The game is better, worse and stranger than you can imagine, and that is coming from someone who saw it all with their own eyes.’ 
    Ever wondered what really goes on inside a Premier League dressing room, what it’s like to train under Roy Hodgson, Roberto Mancini and Fabio Capello – and what happens when you kick a sandwich at one of them? 
    When it comes to football, former Manchester City and England star Micah Richards has seen it all – and laughed about most of it. In The Game, Micah shares his funniest and frankest stories from on and off the pitch, be it arriving at his first England training session with two left boots, attempting to supervise the infamous Mario Balotelli or winding up Roy Keane on Super Sunday. From how he spent his first Premier League paycheque and how he prepared – financially and mentally – for the day they stopped coming, to the euphoria of lifting the Premier League trophy and the physical and emotional impact of injury, Micah reflects openly on the many wins and losses in professional football. 
    Full of Micah’s signature cheeky wit, this intimate, unmissable memoir goes behind the scenes of the beautiful game and a remarkable life and career. 
    In this riveting autobiography, Micah Richards delves into the personal growth he experienced in the world of soccer, a sport that is as much a performing art as it is a recreation. His journey to success, filled with both wins and losses, is a testament to his resilience and determination. 
    For fans of Peter Crouch (How to Be an Ex-Footballer), Ian Wright (A Life in Football), Guillem Balagué (Maradona), Gary Neville (The People's Game), and Mark Noble (Boleyn Boy).
