Behind Callouts
Bodybuilding is more than muscles and medals - passion, pain, and purpose shaped over years. But behind every trophy is a decision made in silence, under pressure, by those sitting just beyond the lights. This book opens the door to that unseen world. This book shares what competitors never see: the inner conflicts, emotional weight, and difficult calls that define the judging table.Through real stories, quiet reflections, and brutally honest insights, this book bridges the gap between athletes and judges - not to defend, but to reveal.It also explores what few dare to mention: the business of bodybuilding. The glamour, the deals, the politics, and the quiet controversies that shape the sport from behind the scenes.More than a guide, this is a reflection - of standards, of emotions, and of the weight carried behind every final callout. For anyone who's ever stood on stage or watched from the crowd - this is the other side.
Bark Canoes
"This handsomely illustrated work presents a clear and succinct review of the talented, driven, and irascible [Adney]... Recommended." -- Choice The bark canoe was the method of water travel for centuries, by native people in North America. The canoe made possible hunting, trade, and communication between native groups. Edwin Tappan Adney singlehandedly preserved the fading history of Indigenous bark canoe construction in North America. He built 110 historically accurate canoe models, many based on canoes that were the last remaining example of their type. Adney calculated that his canoe models consumed over 20,000 hours of detailed drawing, research and building. Bark Canoes profiles Adney's life and life's work. Born in the United States in 1868, he lived much of his adult life in Canada. His last years were spent almost penniless in a small bungalow in New Brunswick. Canoe research and model building were only one of the passions that drove this extraordinary man. Respected by scholars for his work with canoes, ethnography and Native languages, he struggled against enormous odds to create and preserve his models and papers. Now owned by the Mariners' Museum in Newport News, Virginia, 110 of his beloved canoe models have been photographed and are presented here in splendid color. This book is a great resource for anyone interested in the history of Indigenous people -- and how they lived -- in North America. The Mariners' Museum holds the largest international collection of maritime artifacts in North America, including ship models, paintings and hundreds of thousands of vintage photographs.

Swimming Pretty
"If you're not strong enough to swim fast, you're probably not strong enough to swim 'pretty, '" said a young Esther Williams to theater impresario Billy Rose. Since the nineteenth century, tensions between beauty and strength, aesthetics and athleticism have both impeded and propelled the careers of female swimmers--none more so than synchronized swimmers, for whom Williams is often considered godmother.In this revelatory history, Vicki Valosik traces a century of aquatic performance, from vaudeville to the Olympic arena, and brings to life the colorful cast of characters whose "pretty swimming" not only laid the groundwork for an altogether new sport but forever changed women's relationships with water. Williams, who became a Hollywood sensation for her splashy "aquamusicals," was just one in a long, bedazzled line of swimmers who began their careers as athletes but found greater opportunity, and often social acceptance, in the world of show business.Early starlets like Lurline the Water Queen performed "scientific" swimming, a set of moves previously only practiced by men--including Benjamin Franklin--that focused on form and exhibited mastery in the water. Demonstrating their fancy feats in aquariums and water tanks rolled onto music hall stages, these women stunned Victorian audiences with their physical dexterity and defied society's rigid expectations of what was proper and possible for their sex.Far more than bathing beauties, they ushered in sensible swimwear and influenced lifesaving and physical education programs, helping to drop national drowning rates and paving the way for new generations of female athletes. When a Chicago physical educator matched their aquatic movements to music in the 1920s, young girls flocked to take part in "synchronized swimming." But despite overwhelming love from audiences and the Olympic ambitions of its practitioners, "synchro" was long perceived as little more than entertaining pageantry, and its athletes would face a battle against the current to earn a spot at the highest echelons of sport.Now, on the fortieth anniversary of synchronized swimming's elevation to Olympic status, Swimming Pretty honors its incredible history of grit, glamor, and sheer athleticism.
Never, Ever Give In!
I would like to take you on a journey. It's going to be a journey across many oceans, over a lot of water but very much a journey of the human spirit. This is not a sailing story. It's much more than that.My seven crew and I participated in the fatal 1998 Sydney to Hobart yacht race in which 6 men tragically died, 55 were rescued and a number of boats sank. On our boat, for 15 hours, we thought that we had found out how we were going to die. By a slim margin, we managed to survive that incredible cornerstone event in each of our lives.1 year and 10 months later, my yacht Solo Globe Challenger, had been rebuilt and in October 2000 I headed back to sea in an attempt to sail solo, non-stop and unassisted around the world.Over the years, I've had more than my fair share of harrowing near death situations. I've leant a lot about myself and what makes me tick. I first thought of writing this book more than 25 years ago and now it is finally done! I've put my heart and soul into every page.I hope you enjoy it.Tony Mowbray.
Adlard Coles Shore Guide: The West Country
From the Isles of Scilly to Portland Bill, this handy travel guide to the West Country ensures sailors make the most of every minute ashore. Arriving ashore somewhere new often raises many questions for even the most experienced sailor: Where are the best anchorages and peaceful places to stop? What are the best routes for walks? How do I keep the family entertained? Where are the best beaches and where can I find laundry facilities? Where can I go for the best cream tea? Sailors need a different kind of pilot guide after arrival and this book is their shore-side companion, helping them to explore and enjoy all the West Country has to offer. Without doubt, this stretch of coastline is Britain's most popular cruising destination. The West Country offers a rich variety of coastline from the rugged, Atlantic feel of Scilly and Land's End, to the traditional Cornish villages between the Lizard Peninsula and Plymouth harbour. After Start Point, the Devon coastline softens and opens out to offer Dartmouth and the Rivers Dart and Exe working their way far inland to provide a wide array of flat-water cruising. Further east, you'll find the Jurassic coast with broad beaches busy with fossil hunters and places to stop if the weather is on your side. Illustrated with beautiful photographs and maps, this guide brings together the key information needed for your trip, along with Paul Heiney's brilliant recommendations, all in one handy place, freeing up valuable holiday time.
