Injury-Free Running: Your Illustrated Guide to Biomechanics, Gait Analysis, and Injury Prevention
This no-nonsense guide shows you how an understanding of anatomy and biomechanics, coupled with the latest strengthening exercises and rehab protocols, can keep you running injury free for a long time to come.
Each time your foot hits the ground while running, an impact force averaging three times your weight travels through your body at more than 200 miles per hour, causing your bones to vibrate and tendons to stretch. When you consider the average runner strikes the ground more than 10,000 times per hour, this translates into a remarkable amount of force that needs to be absorbed, and explains why nearly 50% of recreational runners are injured each year.
The purpose of this book is to show you that impact forces are not necessarily harmful. By modifying your running form and doing specific exercises to improve tendon resiliency, not only can you effectively absorb these forces, but you can also store and return a significant percentage of them in the form of elastic recoil. Besides reducing your risk of injury, efficiently storing and returning energy can allow you to run faster with less effort.
With more than 200 illustrations and 300 references, this book reviews how to:
- Perform an at-home gait analysis to make specific changes in your running form that can reduce impact forces and improve performance.
- Decrease your risk of injury by identifying problems with strength, flexibility, and/or neuromotor coordination using specific functional tests.
- Incorporate new exercises to enhance the storage and return of energy in your tendons.
- Select the running shoe that is right for you.
- Treat 25 of the most common running-related injuries with the most up-to-date, scientifically justified treatment protocols available.

Brutal Score: A Single Dad/Nanny Hockey Romance
***A Single Dad/ Nanny, Steamy Hockey Romance***It was only supposed to be one-hot-night in Vegas with a total stranger. We even agreed not to exchange names or occupations. So how in the hell did I end up in Seattle standing on the front stoop of his mansion as the new live-in nanny two weeks later?
Well, turns out Karma works quick because I stole something that night off the sexy stranger’s nightstand before I snuck out of his room without saying goodbye and now, I’m going to pay for it.
I never steal! I’m practically an honorary Eagle Scout but he said it was his lucky charm and as of lately, my life has seemed void of any luck for quite some time. But now with his ruggedly handsome face sporting a brutal scowl that’s usually reserved for his opponents on the ice, I think I’m going to need that lucky charm to do it’s magic.
I’d happily turn right around and walk back down the driveway but unfortunately… I need this job to buy me a little more time after completing draining my savings to avoid my ex-fiancé and his new girlfriend.
Kaenan only needs help until the end of the hockey season and then I’ll head back to face the music and return to my old life in Colorado…

When ‘Jesus’ Came to Hong Kong: The Remarkable Story of the First European Football Star in Asia
It took balls to go to Hong Kong. When Scottish footballer Derek Currie was made an offer to travel to Hong Kong to play against the one sportsman he had dreamed of meeting on the field, he couldn’t say no. From apprentice printer in Glasgow to playing football against Pelé in the Far East, singing with Stevie Wonder and shadow-boxing with Marvelous Marvin Hagler, Currie enjoyed a magical life as one of the first three European professional footballers in Asia. He was quickly nicknamed ‘Jesus’ by Hong Kong football fans. Here he traces the early development of professional football in the then-British colony through his own career – the games, the places and the characters he met along the way – as well as a season playing for the San Antonio Thunder in Texas. Given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he didn’t think twice – traveling 6,000 miles across the world to pursue his dream of professional football. In the years that followed, he met international stars from music, showbusiness, boxing and horse racing. Here in words and pictures is his amazing story – if not for the photographic proof you could be forgiven for thinking it might be a fairy tale! It isn’t.Read more

While there are plenty of camping sites across the US, some have charges while others are not in good condition. Being a traveler ourselves, we have visited hundreds of camps across the US and will be telling you which ones are worth your time and the ones that should be avoided at all costs.
These camping destinations are the BEST!
The book mainly covers the best free campgrounds in terms of their location, accessibility, facilities and the natural attractions they have to offer. We will also consider the security of each site and, most importantly, the climate of the area in which the camp is located. The book will also consider the possibility of camping in an RV at most of the locations.
Our book is detailed.
This book is all-around and does not focus on one part of America. The book covers at least two of the best free camping destinations in each state of all 50 states, making it one of the most comprehensive and detailed camping directories you will come across.
In this book, you will see that the camping destinations are divided by state. In each listing, you will find:
- Location by address or GPS coordinates
- Contact information, if applicable
- A concise explanation of directions on how to reach the site
- A brief description of the camping spot
- A list of Key Factors and features of each campsite
In addition to the list of campgrounds, I have included bonus chapters on relevant camping information.
- Camping Terms
- Introduction to Boondocking
- Some helpful camping tips listed in the Conclusion
Shirley and I wrote this book to hopefully assist you on your nomadic journey across the glorious United States. If you’ve already made the investment in an RV and camping gear, you might as well get your money’s worth in finding free places to set up camp.
If you enjoy RVing, you may want to check out our other book A Practical Guide to Full-Time RV Living: Motorhome & RV Retirement Startup.
Just purchased a new to us Class A RV a few months ago. This book answered many questions we had…and many we didn’t know should ask! Great reference material and plan to re-read it from time to time. – Bev B
So complete it may cause some people to be turned off from RVing :). Lots of detail on maintenance and upkeep which I found useful. Sad that so much of what owners have to do is the direct result of horrible RV manufacturers, but it appears to be a common problem even among high end builders. Good job by this couple who have a lot of experience to share. – ychuck46

World in their Hands: The Story of the First Women’s Rugby World Cup
World in their Hands recounts the remarkable events that led to a group of friends from south-west London staging the inaugural Women’s Rugby World Cup in 1991. The tournament was held just 13 years after teams from University College London and King’s contested a match that catalysed the growth of the women’s game in the UK, and the organisers overcame myriad obstacles before, during and after the World Cup. Those challenges, which included ingrained misogyny, motherhood, a recession, the Gulf War and the collapse of the Soviet Union, provide a fitting framing device for a book that celebrates female achievement in the face of adversity.
Although ostensibly a story about women’s rugby, this is a tale that has rare crossover appeal. It is not only the account of a group of inspirational women who took on the institutional misogyny that existed in rugby clubs across the globe to put on a first ever Women’s Rugby World Cup. It is also the compelling and relatable tale of how those women, their peers and others in the generations before them, reshaped the idea of what it means to be a woman, finding acceptance and friendship on boggy rugby pitches. At the time, with the men’s game tying itself up in knots about professionalism and apartheid, these women were a breath of fresh air. Three decades on, their achievements deserve to be highlighted to a wider audience.

The Last Amateurs: The incredible story of Ulster’s 1999 European champions: The Incredible Story of Ulster Rugby’s 1999 European Champions
****SHORTLISTED FOR THE TELEGRAPH SPORTS BOOK AWARDS 2019 RUGBY BOOK OF THE YEAR****In 1999 Ulster became the most unlikely European champions in rugby history. A squad that included builders, students and lorry drivers, mixed with a handful of players of international quality, overcame the odds and helped to unite a divided nation through the power of sport.
‘The Last Amateurs’ tells the story of how a team went, in just fourteen months, from a record-breaking 56-3 defeat to Wasps, to securing their place in Irish history as the first European champions from Ireland.
Based on interviews with all the key members of the squad – including David Humphreys, Mark McCall, Simon Mason, Andy Ward and Jonny Bell – the book focuses on the players, their varied backgrounds and how the team came together. It also highlights the very different nature of the game, which has become increasingly monetised and sanitised in the years since.
‘The Last Amateurs’ is a celebration of the 1999 victory, and of a campaign that, in the end, managed to bring together the whole island of Ireland – Protestants and Catholics; rugby die-hards and GAA converts. United for eighty minutes, they created one of the most passionate and vibrant scenes the Heineken Cup competition had ever seen, as David Humphreys, alongside the injured Mark McCall, fought through the throng of jubilant pitch invaders to lift the trophy and crown Ulster kings of Europe.

Classic Rugby Clangers: Fluffs, fails and foul-ups from the world’s rugby pitches
A highly amusing collection of rugby’s most cringeworthy moments, from messed-up tries and fluffed penalties to post-match hi-jinks.
This hilarious collection of stories taken from over 130 years of rugby history recounts some of the moments their perpetrators would rather forget. A relentlessly high-speed game, rugby is particularly prone to crucial split-second tests of human fallibility and eccentricity, and for every player snatching victory at the last gasp there is somebody whose overconfidence or moment of self-doubt leaves the spectator clutching his head in disbelief. And on top of that, rugby players are notorious for their off-the-pitch shenanigans, many examples of which are featured here.
Specially updated and revised with brand-new material for the 2015 Rugby World Cup, taking place in England for the first time in over 20 years, this book is a must-buy for the rugby nut in your life.

Calon: A Journey to the Heart of Welsh Rugby
This paperback edition has been fully updated to include the 2013 Six Nations and the British and Irish Lions Tour.
What does rugby mean to Wales? Where does the heart of Welsh rugby lie? In Calon, Owen Sheers takes a personal journey into a sport that defines a nation. Drawing on interviews and unprecedented access with players and WRU coaching staff, Calon presents an intimate portrait of a national team in the very best tradition of literary sports writing.
At the 2011 Rugby World Cup a young Welsh side captained by the 22-year-old Sam Warburton, captured the imagination of the rugby-watching world. Exhibiting the grit and brilliance of generations past, an ill-fated semi-final ended in heartbreak. But a fledgling squad playing with the familiarity of brothers had sent out an electrifying message of hope: could this be a third golden generation of Welsh rugby?
It was with this question hanging in the air that Owen Sheers took up his position as Writer in Residence for the Welsh Rugby Union. Calon is the document of a year spent at the heart of Welsh rugby; the inside story of a 6 Nations campaign that galvanised a nation and ended in Grand Slam success for the third time in 8 years.
