Waterlog - Roger Deakin

Waterlog celebrates the magic of water and the beauty of wild Britain.In 1996 Roger Deakin set out to swim the British Isles. He swam in the sea, in rivers, in streams, tarns, lakes, lochs, ponds, lidos, swimming pools, fens, dykes, moats, aqueducts, waterfalls, flooded quarries and even canals. This funny, wise, delightful book documents his journey. It inspired a movement, creating wild swimmers out of many readers.Detained by water bailiffs in Winchester, intercepted in the Fowey estuary by coastguards, mistaken for a suicide on Camber sands, confronting the Corryvreckan whirlpool in the Hebrides, Deakin discovered just how much of an outsider the native swimmer is to his landlocked, fully-dressed fellow citizens.Waterlog is a personal journey, a bold assertion of the native swimmer''s right to roam, and an unforgettable celebration of the magic of water.INTRODUCED BY OLIVIA LAING''A delicious, cleansing, funny, wise and joyful book, so wonderfully full of energy and life’ Jane Gardam''''Roger Deakin is the perfect companion for an invigorating armchair swim'' Daily Telegraph

Mary and The Rabbit Dream - Noemi Kiss-Deaki

Mary Toft was just another eighteenth century woman living in poverty, misery and frequent pain. Mary Toft was the kind of person overlooked by those with power, forgotten by historians. Mary Toft was nothing. Until, that is, Mary Toft started giving birth to rabbits... In Mary and the Rabbit Dream, the sensational debut novelist Noemi Kiss-Deaki reimagines Mary''s strange and fascinating story - and how she found fame when a large swathe of England became convinced that she was the mother of rabbits. Mary and the Rabbit Dream is a story of bodily autonomy, of absurdity, of the horrors inflicted on women, of the cruel realities of poverty and the grotesque divides between rich and poor. It''s a book that matters deeply - and it''s also a compelling page-turner. A story told with exquisite wit, skill and a beautiful streak of subversive mischief.

Swimming for My Life - Kim Fairley

In 1970s Cincinnati, Kim''s overwhelmed, financially stressed parents dragged her and her four younger siblings into swimming - starting with a nearby motel pool - as a way to keep them occupied and out of their way. When Kim was eleven, they began leaving the kids at home with a sitter while they traveled the Midwest, where they sold imported wooden ornaments from their motorhome. But when Kim''s six-year-old brother crashed his new Cheater Slick bike and the babysitter deserted the children, what started as an accident became a pattern: Mom and Dad leaving for weeks at a time and the kids wrestling with life''s emergencies on their own. As Kim coped in the role of fill-in mother while dealing with the stresses of elite swimming, she struggled to shape her own life. She eventually found strength, competence and achievement through swimming - and became the second female swimmer to win a full ride to the University of Southern California, where she earned two national titles.

Splash! : 10,000 Years of Swimming

Choose a stroke and get paddling through the human history of swimming!From man''s first recorded dip into what''s now the driest spot on earth to the splashing, sparkling pool party in your backyard, humans have been getting wet for 10,000 years. And for most of modern history, swimming has caused a ripple that touches us all--the heroes and the ordinary folk; the real and the mythic.Splash! dives into Egypt, winds through ancient Greece and Rome, flows mostly underground through the Dark and Middle Ages (at least in Europe), and then reemerges in the wake of the Renaissance before taking its final lap at today''s Olympic games. Along the way, it kicks away the idea that swimming is just about moving through water, about speed or great feats of aquatic endurance, and shows you how much more it can be. Its history offers a multi-tiered tour through religion, fashion, architecture, sanitation and public health, colonialism, segregation and integration, sexism, sexiness, guts, glory, and much, much more.Unique and compelling, Splash! sweeps across the whole of humankind''s swimming history--and just like jumping into a pool on a hot summer''s day, it has fun along the way.

SOME POEMS OF ROGER CASEMENT - Sean Hewitt, Roger Casement

Originally published in 1918 by the Talbot Press in Dublin, two years after his execution by the British Government for his involvement in the 1916 Easter Rising, Some Poems of Roger Casement has long been a collector’s item. In life and in death, Roger Casement appears to contain many contradictions: decorated British diplomat, Irish Protestant and martyred Irish nationalist. He was a humanitarian, essayist and sometime poet, a public gentleman and a private lover. Over the years, Roger Casement’s ghost has been the subject of endless controversies, co-opted into both the queer liberation movement in Ireland and the Republican movement. Predator or saviour, traitor or hero, maligned martyr or gay icon? The question depends on who you ask, and what aspects of Casement’s life they choose to hold in focus, or to dismiss as a lie. —SEÁN HEWITTIncludes a specially commissioned introduction by Seán Hewitt as well as the original 1918 introduction, written by Casement’s cousin, Gertrude Parry.

The Warrior Mindset - Roger Gracie

FOREWORD BY TOM HARDYI fight not just for myself, but for the Gracies... In the heat of the moment, how do you control your emotions and master your thinking?How do you suffer through hardship and grow through failure?How do you develop quiet inner grace?Ten-time Brazilian jiu-jitsu World Champion and former MMA World Champion, Roger Gracie is a martial arts legend and widely considered to be the greatest practitioner of Brazilian jiu-jitsu of all time. His grandfather, the great Carlos Gracie, was the architect of modern day Brazilian jiu-jitsu and for Roger, growing up in the famous Gracie family, every conversation seemed to be about fighting. Within this family of supermen, this self-contained, once chubby kid promised little; in fact, nobody expected Roger to be the warrior he'd later become. But once he had made up his mind as a teenager to become the greatest, Roger's star was firmly aligned with his purpose. Over time, he gradually became unstoppable, both in his thirst for jiu-jitsu knowledge and in his single-mindedness to reach mastery, just as his grandfather had done before him. For the first time, in The Warrior Mindset, Gracie shares secrets and lessons from a career of fighting at the ... Unknown localization key: "more"

A candid and personal insight into the life and work of the philosopher and writer Roger Scruton, by his intellectual biographer Mark Dooley.This book reveals what life was like for Roger Scruton growing up in High Wycombe, how he survived Cambridge and how he came to hold his conservative outlook.

Winter Swimming - Susanna Søberg

A beautifully illustrated exploration of cold-water traditions in Scandinavia and around the world, and a thorough account of why it provides such a boost to body and soul. Whether in lake, lido, river or sea, we know the benefits of swimming outdoors and in nature - environmentally friendly and accessible, it can influence our happiness, our energy and our inner tranquility, and give us that winter glow. Danish scientist Dr Susanna Søberg leads us step by step into the icy water and explains the "cold-shock response", the massive endorphin rush as our body reacts and adapts to very cold temperatures through the winter season. Not only do our circulation, heart, lungs and skin respond positively, but our immune system, metabolism and mental health too. In particular she explains how our "brown fat" is activated to benefit multiple health conditions. Winter swimming is fast becoming one of our most popular pastimes. This beautifully illustrated exploration of cold-water traditions in Scandinavia and around the world shows how it can have a significant positive impact on our physical and mental health, confidence and well-being, providing such a boost to body and soul.Translated from the Danish by Elizabeth DeNoma
