Beyond the Ropes
Mixed martial arts was once a shadowy, misunderstood spectacle-bare-knuckle brawls in smoky halls, unregulated clashes between martial artists who had never tested their skills outside their own disciplines. Over the course of just a few decades, it has become one of the fastest-growing sports in the world, commanding sold-out arenas, global media rights deals, and an audience that spans continents.Beyond the Ropes traces this remarkable transformation, from the underground vale tudo fights of Brazil and the martial arts challenge matches that set the stage, to the birth of the UFC, the rise and fall of Japan's Pride Fighting Championships, and the sport's spread into every major market. Along the way, it captures the stories of the fighters, promoters, and visionaries who built MMA's global presence-inside the cage and in the boardroom.This is the definitive, fact-driven chronicle of MMA's rise, told through the key moments, business moves, cultural battles, and international milestones that shaped its journey. Spanning from the first Gracie challenges to the pandemic-era fight islands, it reveals how a once-maligned spectacle became a worldwide sporting empire.

Holy Ghost Creek
"Solitude and fine fishing can often be found together on small streams. They seldom coexist on big rivers."-from Holy Ghost CreekFrank Weissbarth's beautifully written fishing memoir evokes the private pleasures and the mystery of angling in small streams, beginning on a Rocky Mountain creek known as Holy Ghost. He shares the wisdom he has accumulated on countless days fishing this and other streams, presenting his knowledge with wit and a profound reverence for the beauty of the sport and the places it is practiced. He offers detailed descriptions of Holy Ghost Creek and other waters, named and unnamed, but this is by no means a guidebook or a how-to book. Rather, it is a celebration of the joys of small streams and quiet adventures."There are things beneath the surface of the river that I will never know. There is not time enough to learn them and the river is always changing. But sometimes, on a rare day, for a few moments or hours, the barrier between water and land vanishes, and I see the trout in their watery world and hear the sound of the stream and the wind in the trees and watch as insects hover over the water and a mink slips silently along the bank. It is an intimacy born of long hours on the water, of study and of love. It is why I fish."--from Holy Ghost Creek

Signed, Traded, Sold
From football's billion-euro buys to blockbuster NBA trades and franchise-altering NFL signings, Signed, Traded, Sold peels back the velvet curtain on the financial, legal, and cultural machinery driving the modern sports world. This is not just a book about athletes-it's a forensic narrative of contracts, clauses, and consequences.Across continents and across codes, the book chronicles the rise of player power, the evolution of super agents, and the transformation of clubs and franchises into global brands. It explores how nations like Saudi Arabia and China have redrawn competitive maps, how analytics and AI now define value, and how even legends like Tom Brady, Wayne Gretzky, and Cristiano Ronaldo became part of a system that increasingly sees athletes as assets.With deep dives into record-breaking transfers, legal battlegrounds, moral quandaries, and the shadowy fine print behind loyalty bonuses and release clauses, this book is both a history and a guide to the modern transfer market. Signed, Traded, Sold is essential reading for fans who want to understand not just who moved where-but why it mattered.
The Quiet Mountains
Readers who believe as Herman Melville's Ishmael, that "meditation and water are wedded for ever," will be entranced by Rex Johnson, Jr.'s, account of his travels to the upper Bavispe River in Mexico's northern Sierra Madre. Combining travel observations, natural history, ethnography, ecology, and ichthyology, Johnson's narrative plunges the reader into a world that is so far from the twenty-first-century United States that it is difficult to believe how physically close the two countries actually are. Johnson goes in search of an ancient species of trout, the Bavispe, at least 3 million years old. It has been easier for the Bavispe to remain unchanged for millennia than for the human inhabitants of the Sierra Madre to endure for mere centuries. Johnson notes the area's Indian descendants are in the process of becoming modern, and the needs of the ancient trout, dependent on pure, unpolluted water, collide at times with the choices of people scratching out an existence in a challenging environment. The parallel stories from natural and human history are a central theme in Johnson's account of environmental change and its consequences, layered with the personal, contemplative meaning he finds in the quest for the seldom-seen fish.

From Out of the Smokies
Knoxville native Charlie Tombras may be best known for his fifty-seven-year leadership of the nationally recognized advertising firm the Tombras Group, but in his moving memoir, From Out of the Smokies: Stories of Fly Fishing and Life, he chronicles his personal journey, letting business take a backseat. Born and raised in the Smokies, Tombras grew up exploring mountains and streams, fostering an appreciation for nature and fly fishing that would follow him through a tour of duty in Vietnam and into adulthood. With a relatable, often humorous style, Tombras recollects adventures spanning eight decades and the resulting lessons of friendship, loss, and love that he learned along the way. Emphasizing the value of hard work and perseverance, Tombras thoughtfully examines his lifelong love of fly fishing and leaves no stone unturned as he takes readers from childhood to adulthood in vivid memories and captivating prose. From exhilarating tales of white-water canoeing in Northern Labrador to grief-stricken seasons of loss, Tombras's memoir of spirit and adventure provides a nuanced portrait of a successful man--in business and in life. Through his sporting adventures and other personal experiences, Tombras continues to learn how to weather storms in whatever shape they may take and how to grow in the face of adversity. Much like the wild rivers that Tombras explored and loved, From Out of the Smokies will inspire readers to accept and marvel at forces beyond our control.

The Wandering Pilgrim
Adventurer John Dunlop's first book in the Wandering Pilgrim series gave gripping accounts of his several journeys in the mountains of the Himalayas and New Zealand. In this second volume he turns his attention to escapades closer to home but none the less challenging.Again he brings to the fore the contents of notebooks in which he recorded incidents, thoughts and impressions as he travelled.They provide a unique on-the-spot record of walks undertaken over several decades. He tells it as it was - the now and then - rather than offering an unreliable memoir based on distant memory.Fresh as when they were written, John Dunlop's diary notes tell of the highs and lows (literally and metaphorically) of facing the rigours of venturing alone into mountainous wilderness where few others have been.There is no striving to impress in his commentaries. They are a highly personal record, almost chatty and straight to the point. The thoughts and experiences of a young man taking his first tentative steps into the mountains, as well as those of his older and more experienced self in the decades that followed.The reality of the moment leaps off the page, whether it is the joy of scaling the heights in summer sun or being sleep deprived, cold and wet while tent-bound for several days as fierce storms batter his flimsy shelter.The writer shares the joys and disappointments, the setbacks and the triumphs of conquering Tasmania's remotest peaks. And for those who may follow in his footsteps he provides useful lists of equipment and food as well as details of flora and fauna seen along the trailsAs with his first book, these detailed accounts of his adventures provide a unique insight into the hows and whys of those who venture far from the beaten track.It is a captivating read for fellow adventurers and armchair travellers alike, written by a quintessential wanderer, explorer and sometime alpinist who now lives in a solar powered pole house in the tropical rainforest of far north Queensland.
