Summary

“Sweeney’s courage and grit shine through her candid memoir . . . This book has the power to inspire countless others as they pace themselves to mental health.” ―Aimee Liu, author of Gaining: The Truth About Life After Eating Disorders   Before she discovered running, Nita Sweeney was forty-nine years old, chronically depressed, occasionally manic, and unable to jog for more than sixty seconds at a time. Using exercise, Nita discovered an inner strength she didn’t know she possessed, and with the help of her canine companion, she found herself on the way to completing her first marathon. In her memoir, Sweeney shares how she overcame emotional and physical challenges to finish the race and come back from the brink.   Anyone who has struggled with depression knows the ways the mind can defeat you. However, it is possible to transform yourself with the power of running. You may learn that you can endure more than you think, and that there’s no other therapy quite like pavement beneath your feet.Depression Hates a Moving Target is a witty and poignant story of rediscovery. Whether you’re born to run or just looking for rebirth, you will:   ·       Be inspired by the powerful story of one woman—and her dog ·       Cheer on Nita as she endures the challenges of a marathon and a mind in turmoil ·       Discover the power of running to overcome obstacles  Winner of the Maxwell Award from the Dog Writers Association of America

    “Another goofy travelogue—and a UK bestseller—by the English writer who, on a dare, once hitchhiked around Ireland with a refrigerator . . . a lot of fun.” —Kirkus ReviewsIt doesn’t take much—“£100 is usually sufficient”—to persuade Tony Hawks to take off on notoriously bizarre and hilarious adventures in response to a bet. And so it is, a pointless argument with a friend concludes in a bet—that Tony can’t beat all eleven members of the Moldovan soccer team at tennis. And with the loser of the bet agreeing to strip naked on Balham High Road and sing the Moldovan national anthem, this one was just too good to resist.The ensuing unpredictable and often hilarious adventure sees him being taken in by Moldovan gypsies and narrowly avoid kidnap in Transnistria. It sees him smuggle his way on to the Moldovan National Team coach in Coleraine and witness (almost) divine intervention in the Holy Land.In this inspiring and exceptionally funny book, Tony Hawks has done it again, proving against all odds that there is no reason in the world why you can’t do something a bit stupid and prove all of your doubters wrong. Or at least that was the idea . . . “Hawks’s comedic talent comes across well in the written form . . . he has a breezy, witty style that makes the book extremely enjoyable . . . Hawks is not only a crazy comic but a keen observer of the human experience.” —The San Francisco Chronicle

    Brewers-Orioles, 6/10/82: “An astounding piece of sports journalism . . . the best book about the best game there is.” —St. Louis Post-Dispatch 
 
A timeless baseball classic, Nine Innings dissects a single baseball game played in June 1982—inning by inning, play by play. Daniel Okrent, New York Times–bestselling author and lifelong fan, chose as his subject a Milwaukee Brewers-Baltimore Orioles matchup, though it could have been any game, because, as Okrent reveals, the essence of baseball, no matter where or when it’s played, has been and will always be the same.  
 
In this particular moment of baseball history you will discover myriad aspects of the sport that are crucial to its nature but so often invisible to the fans—the hidden language of catchers’ signals, the physiology of pitching, the balance sheet of a club owner, the gait of a player stepping up to the plate. With the purity of heart and unwavering attention to detail that characterize our national pastime, Okrent goes straight to the core of the world’s greatest game. You’ll never watch baseball the same way again. 
 
“Informative and amusing . . . we get a little bit of everything and a lot of entertainment.” —TheNew York Times 
 
“Develop[s] a momentum that puts us on the edge of our seats . . . This is one of the best books ever on our national game.” —Ken Burns

We are all climbing where we are and with the gear we use in no small part due to Tony Howard’s quest for adventure.
 
Tony Howard rose to fame in 1965 as a member of a group of young climbers from northern England who made the first British ascent of Norway’s Troll Wall; a climb described by Joe Brown as, ‘One of the greatest ever achievements by British rock climbers’. Tony went on to design the modern sit harness, now used worldwide by most climbers. He founded the company Troll Climbing Equipment but never stopped exploring. Quest into the Unknown is his story.
 
Tony has dedicated his life to travelling the world in search of unclimbed rock faces and remote trekking adventures. The scale of his travels is vast: he has visited all of the North African countries, much of the Arab land of the Middle East, the mountainous regions of Scandinavia, Canada and the rocky spine of the Americas, the Himalaya, remote Indian provinces, South East Asia, Madagascar, South Georgia and Antarctica. This book, the last word in adventure travel, takes the reader from Tony’s youth spent developing the crags of the English Peak District, via whaling ships in the Southern Ocean, thousand-mile canoe trips in the Canadian Arctic, living amongst the Bedouin in the rocky mountains of Jordan, to the isolated opium tribes of Thailand.
 
Tony Howard’s Quest into the Unknown is the jaw-dropping account of a life of adventure that is the very definition of true exploration.
