Scenes of Wonder and Curiosity in California
The Shelf2Life Mountaineering Collection provides a unique glimpse into the history and evolution of mountaineering through the late 19th and early 20th centuries. From historical maps, first-hand accounts of early summits, descriptions of peaks and wilderness areas to detailed mountaineering proofs, enthusiasts can now experience the thrill of the greatest peaks as they were in the early part of the century. Further, in-depth discussions of traditional equipment, technique and routes are a fascinating study in the evolution of the sport. Given the recent explosion of interest in mountaineering, these books are an excellent opportunity to revisit the roots and origins of the sport: they offer a valuable historical perspective as well as important information about the landscape and geography of the past.

Man-Eaters of Kumaon
First published in 1944, this is really something different in the field of hunting adventure -- and very good reading it makes. Some of it is most exciting -- all written with a truly amusing straight-face, dispassionate coolness. It's a true account of the famous hunter's experiences with man-eating tigers in the jungles of India. He describes in detail the stalking, the tigers' victims, and some of the most hairbreadth escapes that have been recorded -- all the more harrowing because of his calm detachment. Good armchair adventure -- not just for hunting enthusiasts, but for men and women -- boys and girls -- who like straight adventure, even though it's a bit gory at times.Once you start reading, it will whet the appetite for more until the last page.
Sports and Society in the Middle East
A set of studies looking at the history, politics, and sociology of sports in the Arab world The sociology of sports in the Middle East has been neglected compared to other world regions. This volume aspires to encourage a greater focus on this topic. Here are assembled papers that discuss various aspects of this subject. As it happens all deal with football (soccer) largely in Egypt but including other Middle Eastern countries. Some are historically or politically oriented while others take a more sociological approach. Papers deal with the relation between organized sports and fans, with the special place of youngsters and women in sports, or with the role of sports in a more general understanding of culture and society as indicators of modernization and other facets of social change. Sportive competitions arouse keen passions around such issues as gender, class, and nationality, while they raise questions about leadership on and off the field, and about the economic impact of the games. The topic needs more research. Contributors: Deena Abdelmonem Zeinab Abul-MagdYasmine AhmedSandrine GamblinEllis GoldbergNicholas S. HopkinsClement M.

First Elevens
This is the story of how international football began, culminating in the Scotland v England match of 30 November 1872.That match had its origins in 1870, when two teams of English and Scots footballers kicked a ball about for 90 minutes in the outfield of a London cricket ground. They were cheered on by 'an assemblage of spectators such as is rarely seen', which was about 500 spectators.Over the next two years, international football took the first faltering steps on a journey of passion and emotion that now captivates hundreds of millions of football fans around the world.In this ground-breaking work, football historian Andy Mitchell explains why the pioneers came up with the idea, what challenges they faced, how the rugby and association codes fought for supremacy, and who the key players were. Following exhaustive research, he outlines in detail the events that led to the first internationals, and tells the surprising stories of the men who took part in the early internationals: from convicted killer to Prime Minister's son, the tragic deaths and the outstanding careers.This book shines new light on the birth of international football rivalry, and is a valuable addition to literature on the world's greatest sport.Chapters 1-5 describe the events of the five unofficial internationals between 1870-72, the first rugby international in March 1871, and the first official Scotland v England association football international on 30 November 1872.Chapters 6-8 tell the amazing stories of the football pioneers, their triumphs and disasters, with many photos never before published.The book concludes with an indispensible biographical dictionary of the 75 association football players and 40 rugby players who took part in the matches, including birth and death details, sporting and career highlights, and family background.There is also a timeline, bibliography and index.
Through the Netherlands via the Standing Mast Routes
The Staande Mast Route (Dutch for Standing Mast Route) enables yachts with their masts up to transit nearly 1,000 kms of inland waterways in the Netherlands leading from Vlissingen close to the Belgian border as far as Delfzijl near the border with Germany. Although often described as a single route, parts of it can in fact be transited via several alternative routes. Authorities responsible for the various sections of the Staande Mast Route co-ordinate bridge and lock opening times to provide smooth passage for users, which include numerous commercial vessels as well as leisure craft - or 'sport boats' as they are known in the Netherlands. Several hundred yachts (both sail and motor) use the Route each year as an alternative to braving the exposed west and north coasts of the Netherlands, where ports of refuge are not plentiful. This guide to the Route is produced and edited by the European Inland Waterways Section (EIWS) of the Cruising Association (CA) and relies on regular updates from its members, many of whom cruise all or parts of the Route each year. It also includes a 25 per cent discount offer on first year's CA membership to purchasers joining online during the year. Members have access to the CA's proprietary CAptain's Mate app, enabling them to access the most up-to-date information on routes and moorings locations.

Deer Stalking in the Scottish Highlands
The Red Deer is one of the largest deer species and can be found across most of Europe, and in other parts of the world too. The meat of a red deer, venison, is widely used as a food source to the extent that red deer farming now exists. In Scotland, there is a healthy red deer population. Figures vary, but there are estimated to be between 500,000 - 750,000 red deer in Scotland. Although red deer traditionally lived in forests, they have adapted their habitat and behaviour in Scotland as the forests declined. They are now found mostly in glens and on mountains across the Highlands, Islands and Lowlands of Scotland. This vintage book contains accounts of the authors' experiences hunting for deer in the Scottish Highlands, making it highly recommended for those with an interest in historical Scottish hunting. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on deer hunting and stalking.

The World’s Worst Sailor
S.D. "Doc" Regan, writer of maritime and nautical affairs, ineptly taught himself to sail upon his retirement as a professor and university dean. His original dinghy provided ample opportunity to capsize, founder on rocks, end up on the lee shore, and embarrass the alleged scholar in front of large crowds. Despite his scholarly papers and books, Doc sardonically proffers a humorous voyage through his trials and tribulations manning the helm. Described as the "worst sailor still alive to tell the tale", Doc and his dinghy, ZONONA, and his West Wight Potter, GENNY SEA, have plied the lakes, rivers, and ponds of Iowa and Minnesota creating an inundation of laughable experiences. Boat builders and skilled sailors shake their heads and mutter that no one is THAT stupid. Always considered a bit of a class clown, Regan has baffled nuns, teachers, professors, and academia with his humor and self-deprecation. He has regaled many dock-side bars with his hilarity and wit as well as university gatherings. He is often sought as a speaker, especially by military and veteran groups. Doc has written "In Bitter Tempest: the biography of Admiral Frank Jack Fletcher", "Pioneering Spirit: the history of Upper Iowa University", and multitude of naval historical articles ironically because his doctorate and specialty is educational psychology to which he has written two dozen professional papers.
