Sinopse

In "The Book of Sports," William Martin offers an insightful exploration into the role of physical activity and recreation within society. Structured as both a practical guide and a philosophical treatise, the book elegantly weaves together historical context with contemporary perspectives on sports and play. Martin's prose is accessible yet rich, making profound observations on the cultural significance of sports in fostering community, promoting health, and encouraging personal development. His deep understanding of sports as a unifying force shines through as he articulates how athletic endeavors extend beyond mere competition, serving as a lens through which to examine broader societal norms and values. William Martin, a seasoned author and an ardent advocate for the benefits of physical education, draws from his extensive background in sports administration and community engagement. His commitment to promoting active lifestyles stems from a profound belief in the transformative power of sports, both for individuals and society as a whole. This personal investment in the subject matter not only informs his writing but also inspires readers to consider their own relationship with physical activity. I highly recommend "The Book of Sports" to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the multifaceted role of sports in human lives. Whether you are an athlete, a coach, or simply a passionate spectator, Martin's compelling narrative and thoughtful observations will invigorate your appreciation for the dynamics of sport and its enduring impact on culture.

    Reverence takes on a new meaning in this original memoir of an avid gardener walking the Camino de Santiago.
    		 
    The Camino de Santiago has been a journey for pilgrims for more than 1,000 years, testing—to varying degrees—their spirit, faith, and physical endurance. Lyndon Penner’s attention lies elsewhere. A renowned gardener and lover of literature, he revels in the plants, trees, and flowers that tell the history of the people and ecology of northern Spain.
    		 
    Brimming with wry observations—of nature, himself, and other pilgrims on the road—The Way of the Gardener reveals the beauty and the darkness of the human condition while underscoring the deeply fascinating nature of nature itself. This textured work makes for perfect armchair—or garden—reading.

    Endurance is the ability to sustain physical activity for an extended period without succumbing to fatigue. In sports, endurance is a critical factor for success, especially in disciplines that require prolonged exertion, such as long-distance running, cycling, swimming, and rowing. While many athletes focus on speed and strength, endurance plays a fundamental role in determining overall performance and efficiency. 
    There are two primary types of endurance: aerobic and anaerobic. Aerobic endurance refers to the ability of the cardiovascular system to supply oxygen to muscles over an extended period. This is vital for sports where sustained, moderate-intensity efforts are required. Activities such as marathons or triathlons demand superior aerobic capacity. On the other hand, anaerobic endurance is associated with high-intensity efforts that are of shorter duration, relying on energy systems that do not require oxygen. This type of endurance is essential for sports that involve bursts of intense effort, such as sprinting or weightlifting. 
    The role of genetics in endurance is often debated, as it plays a significant part in an athlete’s ability to develop stamina. Studies have shown that some individuals are naturally predisposed to better endurance due to factors such as muscle fiber composition and cardiovascular efficiency. These genetic traits may give some athletes an advantage, but training and lifestyle choices remain pivotal in enhancing endurance.

    “Telling them what Jimmy did... it’s the most important thing you can tell a young player who is representing Manchester United,” - Sir Alex Ferguson 
     
    This updated, family authorised biography of Manchester United hero Jimmy Murphy celebrates the career of the man who managed the club after the Munich air disaster and took charge of Wales at the 1958 World Cup. 
     
    Alongside Sir Matt Busby and Sir Alex Ferguson, nobody in the long history of Manchester United is as important as Jimmy Murphy. 
     
    As legendary Manchester United manager Busby lay in an oxygen tent in his hospital bed, recovering from the horror of the Munich plane crash, he clutched the friend of his close friend and faithful right-hand-man Murphy. Murphy stepped into Busby’s shoes and answered United’s call in their hour of need. More than that, he provided the spark which would see a phoenix spectacularly rise from the flames. 
     
    Murphy would be at Busby’s side as the club famously conquered England and Europe, driven by a new generation of Babes. Murphy would remain United’s assistant manager up to 1971, going on to become a club scout, unearthing and recruiting famous talents like Gordon Hill and Steve Coppell. In his other role as Wales’ football manager, he would mastermind his country’s appearance in the World Cup finals – taking Wales to the brink of the semi-finals in 1958. 
     
    The Man Who Kept The Red Flag Flying has been written in full cooperation with Murphy’s family, with unique insight from sons Nick and Jimmy Junior. It features contributions and comments from Sir Alex Ferguson, George Best, Tommy Docherty and Ron Atkinson, among many, and rare excerpts from the Daily Mirror and Manchester Evening News archives. This updated title will celebrate the 60th anniversary of Manchester United’s 1965 First Division title and the unveiling of a statue dedicated to Murphy at Old Trafford in 2023 in its honour.

    Have you already tried a million different diets without success?  
    Are you convinced that you will never lose weight?  
    Have you heard about hypnosis to lose weight and would like to learn more? 
    Hey listen, 
    At this time, I assume that you already realize how powerful your mind is. Have you ever heard that 90% of the disease is related to how your brain and mind work? Exactly, and that's the truth. But that's not the subject I am going to talk about today. 
    Today, we're talking about how to use your mind and empower it to help you get in shape and healthy. And how to make it help you instead of constantly pushing you back… Yes, I am talking about those nights when you feel stressed out, sad, anxious, and the only way to push it away that you know about is to get some chips, hamburger, pizza, or any other fabricated food. 
    Just imagine. How would your life change if you have been "IN CONTROL" of every single action you take – and STRONGER than any craving you may experience? 
    In fact, The 1998 Study by Kirsch showed that utilizing hypnosis plus CBT instead of CBT on it’s own for weight loss yielded nearly double the amount of weight loss. Yes, double! 
    And, another study by Cordi & Rasch stated that after listening to the hypnosis the participants experienced up to 80 percent more slow-wave sleep, which hugely improves the overall quality of your sleep. 
    Keep in mind that you don't have to hire some expensive therapist to make these strategies work for you: inside this book, you'll find the knowledge and tools you need to achieve the results you have always dreamed about! 
    Don’t you think it’s time to start your Hypnosis journey?
