By Simon Pridmore. 2019
Se você ainda não pratica o mergulho autônomo, mas está pensando em aprender, então Fundamentos do Mergulho - Comece a…
Margulhar da Forma Correta é para você. Ele o leva da idéia embrionária de que você possa gostar de mergulhar até o ponto em que você tenha feito cerca de 20 mergulhos. Este não é um manual padrão de mergulho. Ele é muito diferente. O objetivo do Fundamentos do Mergulho não é lhe ensinar a mergulhar. Um instrutor de mergulho fará isso. Mas este livro fará com que o processo de aprendizado seja mais fácil. Ele o ajudará a tomar as decisões corretas e evitar as armadilhas que aguardam os mergulhadores novos e desinformados que está iniciando neste esporte. Ele também o ajudará a se tornar um mergulhador capaz e competente para o resto da sua vida. Fundamentos do Mergulho lhe mostra como garantir que esteja preparado para um curso de mergulho e o que um bom curso básico deveria conter. Ele lhe diz como escolher um bom instrutor, como decidir com qual operadora mergulhar após ter terminado seu curso e que tipos de mergulho você deveria estar fazendo quando começar a mergulhar. Você aprenderá as muitas formas com que o mergulho mudará sua vida e adquirá conselhos extremamente valiosos sobre a etiqueta envolvida. Ao longo do livro e especialmente no capítulo "Aconteceu comigo" você irá se divertir, aprender e ser encorajado pelos casos contados por pessoas experientes no mergulho, mas que já foram iniciantes também. Também há um capítulo inteiro dedicado à segurança do mergulho, que cobre aspectos de importância fundamental do mergulho que os manuais de treinamento das agências certificadoras não enfatizam o suficiente ou deixam totalmente de fora. A mensagem do livro é: comece a mergulhar da forma correta e você estará relaxado e pronto para a aventura. Você se divertirá mais, cometerá menos erros e terá confiança de que estará bem informado para tomar as melI campioni di lotta della Killimore High School

By Martin Gitlin. 2019
Perhaps no NBA player today is as exciting and yet enigmatic as Kyrie Irving. Martin Gitlin’s biography chronicles Irving’s brilliance…
on the court as a devastating one‑on‑one talent, examines the influence of his father, the untimely death of his mother, his growth as a basketball player in high school and college, and his journey in the NBA. Nicknamed the “Isolation Assassin,” Irving has earned the distinction as the most incredible isolation player in the league, outperforming rivals such as Stephen Curry and Russell Westbrook with his crossover dribble, drives to the basket, stop‑and‑go moves, and smooth, feathery jumpers, a distinction borne out, moreover, by his championship-clinching shot against Curry’s Golden State Warriors in 2016. Yet while he speaks of maximizing his talent, he has shown reluctance to maximize the production of his teammates by passing the ball, as well as his overall defense. Irving expresses his desire to win championships yet demanded a trade away from the franchise best suited to deliver him a second. Off the court there is no one like Irving either. An educated individual who claims that the earth could be flat and that dinosaurs perhaps never existed, Irving is a man of puzzling contradictions who seeks self-actualization and contentment through a variety of pursuits, including reflection, music, and acting. Gitlin, a veteran writer who has followed Irving’s career from the beginning, has much to tell about one of the most mysterious and sensational athletes of our time whose appeal transcends his sport.THE MEN WHO MADE MARCHFrom its humble beginnings in 1895 to its modern-day dominance over American culture for the entire…

By Christopher McDougall. 2019
"A delight, full of heart and hijinks and humor . . . McDougall is a gifted storyteller who gets to…
the heart of the human-animal connection." --John Grogan, author of Marley & Me: Life and Love with the World's Worst DogFrom the best-selling author of Born to Run, a heartwarming story about training a rescue donkey to run one of the most challenging races in America.When Chris McDougall agreed to take in a donkey from an animal hoarder, he thought it would be no harder than the rest of the adjustments he and his family had made after moving from Philadelphia to the heart of Pennsylvania Amish country. But when he arrived, Sherman was in such bad shape he could barely move, and his hair was coming out in clumps. Chris decided to undertake a radical rehabilitation program designed not only to heal Sherman's body but to heal his mind as well. It turns out the best way to soothe a donkey is to give it a job, and so Chris decided to teach Sherman how to run. He'd heard about burro racing--a unique type of race where humans and donkeys run together in a call-back to mining days--and decided he and Sherman would enter the World Championship in Colorado.Easier said than done. In the course of Sherman's training, Chris would have to recruit several other runners, both human and equine, and call upon the wisdom of burro racers, goat farmers, Amish running club members, and a group of irrepressible female long-haul truckers. Along the way, he shows us the life-changing power of animals, nature, and community.James Taylor: Cut Short (Artist Songbooks Ser.)

By Howard Bryant. 2020
A bold and impassioned meditation on injustice in our country that punctures the illusion of a postracial America and reveals…
it as a place where authoritarianism looms large.Whether the issues are protest, labor, patriotism, or class division, it is clear that professional sports are no longer simply fun and games. Rather, the industry is a hotbed of fractures and inequities that reflect and even drive some of the most divisive issues in our country. The nine provocative and deeply personal essays in Full Dissidence confront the dangerous narratives that are shaping the current dialogue in sports and mainstream culture. The book is a reflection on a culture where African Americans continue to navigate the sharp edges of whiteness--as citizens who are always at risk of being told, often directly from the White House, to go back to where they came from. The topics Howard Bryant takes on include the player-owner relationship, the militarization of sports, the myth of integration, the erasure of black identity as a condition of success, and the kleptocracy that has forced America to ask itself if its beliefs of freedom and democracy are more than just words.In a time when authoritarianism is creeping into our lives and is being embraced in our politics, Full Dissidence will make us question the strength of the bonds we think we have with our fellow citizens, and it shows us why we must break from the malignant behaviors that have become normalized in everyday life.Sport Facility Operations Management: A Global Perspective

own expectations of what it means to be a ‘good’ father. There is little doubt that today’s fathers are responding to new expectations about fatherhood and fathering practices. The remote, detached, breadwinning father of the past, once lauded as a masculine ideal, has faded, and men are now expected to be ‘involved’, ‘intimate’, ‘caring’ and ‘domesticated’ fathers. Using a family practices lens and a case study of sport, Fletcher elucidates the changes and continuities in family and fathering practices in different historical periods and contexts. Negotiating Fatherhood will be of interest to students and scholars with an interest in family and fathering practices, sport, leisure, and gender.Have you been feeling way too stressed out, pushing yourself too hard, thinking about all the things you can't do,…
