Sinopse

Cycling? It's one of my life's constants, it feeds my need for beauty, for delight and for aimless exploring . . . I hope to continue pedalling, nice and slowly, for the rest of my life, with the same curiosity that ignited my childhood.

Twelve writers consider the joys and consolations of cycling, whether in a city late at night or along country lanes on a summer's day. Yara Rodrigues Fowler and Xani Byrne write movingly on coming to terms with loss through tandem biking; Jon McGregor takes part in the overnight Dunwich Dynamo. Annie Lord sings the praises of cycling home on Lime bikes from parties, while the late Dervla Murphy regales us with stories of a cycle through Europe.

Freewheeling is a celebration of life on two wheels, and how bikes can become an extension of ourselves, a type of armour, and a route to liberation.

    Ao longo de quase duas décadas, entre 1990 a 2007, tínhamos as duas principais marcas nacionais, que realizavam os principais campeonatos e circuitos nacionais, investiam em pistas e patrocinavam skatistas, que despontam nos campeonatos mundiais subindo ao pódio e levando títulos. Tudo isso inserido em uma ebulição musical e de moda onde o principal público era de adolescentes e jovens, que viam no skate uma forma de expressão. Desde o carrinho até as roupas streetwear, produziam e reproduziam um comportamento e uma identidade própria. Surgiu um estilo de vida, o skate como um lifestyle, e Curitiba reconhecida como a capital do skate brasileiro. A cultura do skate é resiliente, diversa e se reinventa. Desde 1972, quando tudo era desconhecido e novo, os pioneiros do skate paranaense criaram as referências. A nossa essência começou ali. E o skate passou de mão em mão, evoluiu de geração para geração. A criatividade e a liberdade movem nossa história do skate. É o que buscamos expressar neste livro.

    Shortlisted for the Telegraph Sports Book Awards 2020—Rugby Book of the Year. A complete history of the Welsh rugby union team, as told by the players.   Based on a combination of painstaking research into the early years of the Wales team to interviews with a vast array of Test match players and coaches from the Second World War to the present day, Ross Harries delves to the very heart of what it means to play for Wales, painting a unique and utterly compelling picture of the game in the only words that can truly do so: the players’ own.  Behind the Dragon lifts the lid on what it is to pull on the famous red shirt—the trials and tribulations behind the scenes, the glory, the drama and the honour on the field, and the heart-warming tales of friendship and humour off it.   Absorbing and illuminating, this is the ultimate history of Welsh rugby—told, definitively, by the men who have been there and done it.  “A tremendous book. What an array of fantastic characters and insights . . . both laugh out loud and poignant.” —Tom English, BBC Sport  “An epic story by the men who created legends in the Welsh jersey.” —Stephen Jones, The Sunday Times  “Punchy, revelatory, irresistible.” —Alan Pearey, Rugby World  “Ross Harries has written a history book like no other.” —Peter Jackson, The Rugby Paper

    The Cairngorm mountains in Scotland are a magnet for climbers and walkers. John Allen spent more than thirty years in the Cairngorm Mountain Rescue Team saving the lost and injured. This special anniversary edition of his story includes additional photographs and new chapters discussing how mountain rescue has developed over the last decade. 
     
    “The twisting mix of sadness and wit are blended together with perfection” MOUNTAIN RESCUE MAGAZINE 
     
    `A fascinating account of a man of great humility and remarkable courage.' Annie Brown, The Daily Record 
     
     `Makes Touching the Void seem like a pretty routine day on the hill. ‘Iain Macwhirter, The Sunday Herald  
     
    `Cairngorm John is a remarkable piece of work: succinct, moving, compassionate, gripping, technically detailed and yet broad enough in its appeal to hold the attention of general audiences'-Rennie MacOwen, The Scots Magazine 
     
    `Cairngorm John portrays the human side of mountain rescue, clearly demonstrating the emotional roller coaster that's involved, as well as the camaraderie that exists within teams like Cairngorm Mountain Rescue. I wish every 'do-gooder' who insists on full-time professional mountain rescue teams would read the book and recognise that the main ingredients for a mountain rescuer are commitment, concern and enthusiasm. John Allen has all these in abundance. He also tells a very good story.' Cameron McNeish, TGO Magazine

    The Big Red Road To The Rose Bowl: The 1993-94 University of Wisconsin Rose Bowl-Winning Football Season. On New Year's Day 1963, the Wisconsin Badgers played in one of the most exciting Rose Bow games ever, overcoming a 28-point deficit only to fall short against Southern Cal 42-37. Much to the disappointment of Badger players, fans and alumni since that season the Wisconsin program has been absent from the Pasadena Classic. However, that drought came to an abrupt end. Welcome to the 1993-1994 University of Wisconsin football season. A season which once again places Badger football among the elite college programs!
