crescita personale, delle interazioni tra altri avventurieri? Donne sulla Via: abbracciando il Cammino combina con successo tutti questi elementi in un racconto sincero e personale del pellegrinaggio lungo il Cammino di Santiago di cinquecentocinquanta chilometri di Jane V. Blanchard, che ha attraversato i Pirenei partendo da St-Jean-Pied-de-Port in Francia fino ad arrivare a Roncisvalle in Spagna, e poi ha continuato verso ovest attraverso la Spagna settentrionale fino a Santiago di Compostela. Per oltre un millennio, i cristiani hanno fatto questo pellegrinaggio alla cattedrale di Santiago, dove sono sepolti i resti dell’apostolo San Giacomo. Oggi, questo viaggio è noto come un itinerario culturale europeo che attira persone da tutto il mondo. Nel 2011, più di 183.000 persone hanno completato il pellegrinaggio; il 44% di questi pellegrini erano donne. Anche se Donne sulla Via parla del viaggio di Jane sul Cammino di Santiago (noto anche come la “Via”) e delle discussioni con le donne incontrate durante il pellegrinaggio, questo non è un libro per “ragazze”. Si tratta di abbracciare il Cammino, i cambiamenti personali, la bellezza e il fascino del più popolare tra tutti i pellegrinaggi a Santiago di Compostela, il Camino Francés. - Scopri perché persone da tutto il mondo percorrono il Cammino. - Impara come prepararti per il Cammino, i riti quotidiani per il percorso a lunga distanza e il cameratismo condiviso tra questi pellegrini moderni. - Visualizza la bellezza del nord della Spagna attraverso le vivide descrizioni di Jane. - Comprendi perché così tante persone abbracciano il Cammino. “Uno sguardo articolato, ben osservato e ponderato per percorrere il Cammino”. ~ Adam Nathan “Mi sentivo come se fossi anch'io una pellegrina mentre visualizzavo iThe Ultimate Book of Boxing Lists

By V. Paul Reynolds. 2013
In Backtrack, former naval officer, avid outdoorsman, sportsman, editor, and award-winning journal- ist V. Paul Reynolds journeys back along the…
path of his life to revisit and share with readers many of his outdoor experiences. Reynolds was introduced to the outdoors by his father, Harvard Reynolds, in the 1940s. Harvard took his son to many of his own favorite hunt- ing and fishing spots, helping give birth to his son's lifelong love affair with the outdoors. Later, Harvard eventually took his son to his first smoke-filled hunting camp, where amber liquid flowed and profanity filled the room. Reynolds would soon understood how the out- doors could bestow both the love of nature and the joy of friendship. Reynolds' journey has since car- ried him from the brooks of Maine to hunting grounds across North America, as well as indoors to the hallways of Augusta, where he worked for the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, and the editorial offices of the Northwoods Sporting Journal where he serves editor and publisher. Reynolds' life has been a great outdoor adventure; now the eloquent and thoughtful writer brings readers along on the trail to skin a deer in the field, fish with his dad, and hunt with his wife, Diane, herself a dedicated outdoorswoman.Accidentally Overweight: The 9 Elements That Will Help You Solve Your Weight-Loss Puzzle

By Kelly Traver, Betty Kelly Sargent. 2009
WHY IS THE PROGRAM DIFFERENT FROM EVERY OTHER HEALTH, DIET, AND FITNESS METHOD? BECAUSE IT WORKS. Dr. Kelly Traver understands…
that the human brain resists change. Only when we learn the secrets of how to get our brain to work for us, not against us, can we make healthy, permanent lifestyle changes. She teaches us what those secrets are and shows us how to use them in this mind-expanding and waistline-shrinking system for getting into shape and staying that way. By combining cutting-edge discoveries in neuroscience with the latest information in medicine, nutrition, and fitness, Dr. Traver developed The Program and initially tested it on her patients, who ranged in age from 20 to 81. Her results were astounding. Among those who were overweight, the average weight loss was 19 pounds. Among those who were diabetic, 80 percent achieved a reduction in their blood sugars. Among those with high blood pressure, 87 percent returned their blood pressure to normal. Some 80 percent of the smokers success-fully kicked the habit. In the course of twelve short weeks, readers can achieve similar success by following Dr. Traver's simple, straightforward instructions for working with the stubbornly change-resistant brain so that it not only accepts new, healthy lifestyle habits but actually embraces them. Google, Target, and Stanford University have already adopted Dr. Traver's system to achieve better health for their employees. You are in the driver's seat of your health. By personalizing The Program's powerful tools you can learn to change your body and your life, simply by understanding and working with your brain.The Bicycle Book: Wit, Wisdom, & Wanderings

Mega Events in Post-Soviet Eurasia

The edited volume explains why sport mega events can be discussed from the viewpoint of politics and power, and what…
this discussion can add to the existing scholarship on political regimes, international norms, national identities, and cultural narratives. The book collects case studies written by insiders from different countries of post-Soviet Eurasia that have recently hosted-- or intend to host in the future --sporting events of a global scale. Contributing authors discuss cultural, political, and economic strategies of host governments, examining them from the vantage point of an increasing shift of the global sport industry to non-Western countries. Mega-events often draw domestic lines of cultural and social exclusion within host's polities. It is these ruptures and gaps this volume explores, contributing to a better understanding of the intricate interconnections between global institutions and national identities.Captain Phil Harris: The Legendary Crab Fisherman, Our Hero, Our Dad
By Steve Springer, Josh Harris, Jake Harris, Blake Chavez. 2013
The electrifying behind-the-scenes story of the late Deadliest Catch star, from his own two sons.Prior to his untimely death in…
2010, Captain Phil Harris was a star of Discovery Channel's Deadliest Catch, the hit show that follows the exhilarating lives of Alaskan crab fishermen as they brave the vicious Bering Sea. He led his crew through hurricane-force winds and fourstory- high waves, hauling in millions of pounds of crab and raking in millions of dollars. Phil worked hard, but he played even harder. His life on shore--from his rebellious days to his tempestuous marriages, from his addictive habits to his fundamental American success story--could serve as a reality show in itself. He lived his life at Mach speed: the blitz of crab season, the six-figure paydays, the thunderous motorcycles, and the drug-fueled parties. High-speed chases and all-night blackjack binges were par for the course. But as wild as Phil could be, he was always openhearted and infectiously friendly. He was a devoted friend, a loving father, a steadfast captain, and a hero to audiences across America and around the world. His death in 2010, the result of stroke and heart failure at the age of fifty-three, left a hole in the hearts of millions. In this exclusive authorized biography, Phil's two surviving sons, Josh and Jake Harris, team up with bestselling author Steve Springer and coauthor Blake Chavez to share the thrilling story of Phil's remarkable life.La Colección de Guías de Supervivencia para Toda Situación

The microbiome is a whole inner world that lives within your intestines--trillions of tiny microbes that help you extract the nutrients from your food, balance your mood, and sharpen your clarity and focus. These beneficial bacteria make up a separate ecology within the body and have an enormous influence on your metabolism, your hormones, your cravings--even your genes. The microbiome's health is intimately involved with yours: when it flourishes, you flourish. When it craves sugar, so do you. When it operates at peak efficiency, so does your metabolism. And when your microbiome is out of balance, you might find yourself gaining weight or unable to lose weight, no matter how much you exercise or how carefully you eat. To achieve your ideal weight, you need the help of your microbiome. Now, drawing from nearly two decades of experience as a specialist in functional medicine and intestinal health, Raphael Kellman, MD, has developed the first diet based upon on these scientific breakthroughs.
