Chris Stewart comparte con el lector una de las experiencias más insólitas de una vida ya de por sí asombrosa. Todo comienza de forma fortuita cuando una amiga le ofrece un trabajo tentador: ser el patrón de un velero para navegar en las islas griegas. La propuesta parece un sueño hecho realidad, si no fuera por un pequeño inconveniente: Chris no ha navegado en su vida, ni sabe por dónde empezar. Con abundantes dosis de ingenio e hilarante autocrítica, Chris narra su iniciación a la vela, desde un neblinoso puerto de la costa inglesa hasta su particular odisea por aguas mediterráneas rumbo a la isla de Spetses. Y como guinda, una inolvidable peripecia a través del Atlántico Norte por la ruta del legendario explorador escandinavo Leif Eriksson. Reseñas:«Chris escribe con un vitalismo optimista, rebosante de gracia y franqueza.»Jordi Pigem, Culturas «Tres maneras de volcar un barco [...] nos recuerda que la vida es una oportunidad maravillosa y nos incita a exprimirla.»Pascual Perea, Territorios

When Dougie Lampkin was born, his father had placed a motorcycle next to his cot before he returned from hospital - if anyone can say that they were destined for a career in motorbiking it was him. So far, nine members of the Lampkin family have competed at a high level of the sport, but it was Dougie who set new standards, winning seven consecutive outdoor world titles and five indoor world titles, earning him the MBE at the age of 25.

In this superb memoir, Lampkin brings the excitement of his sport vividly to life. He also shares the behind-the-scenes drama behind some of his most famous Red Bull challenges - such as the day he took his trials bike for a ride through Red Bull's Formula One factory, with Christian Horner looking on in sheer amazement as he rode his bike over a multi-million-pound F1 car, leaving it without a scratch. To date, almost 12 million people have watched this episode on YouTube. For anyone who enjoyed the books of Guy Martin or Michael Dunlop, Trials and Error is a compelling read and one ride you won't want to miss.

Tribal Identities: Nationalism, Europe, Sport (Sport in the Global Society)
by J. A. ManganSport is far more than a national and international entertainment: it is a source of political identity, morale, pride and superiority. Tribal Identities explores the influence of sport on the nations of Europe as a mechanism of national solidarity promoting a sense of identity, unity, status and esteem; as an instrument of confrontation between nations, stimulating aggression, stereotyping, and images of inferiority and superiority; and as a cultural bond linking nations across national boundaries, providing common enthusiasm, shared experiences, the transcendence of national allegiances, and opportunities for association, understanding and goodwill.
Tribal: College Football and the Secret Heart of America
by Diane RobertsOne overeducated Florida State fan confronts the religiously perverted, racially suspect, and sexually fraught nature of the sport she hates to love: college football.Diane Roberts is a self-described feminist with a PhD from Oxford. She's also a second-generation season ticket holder—and an English professor—at one of the elite college football schools in the country. It's not as if she approves of the violence and hypermasculinity on display; she just can't help herself. So every Saturday from September through December she surrenders to her Inner Barbarian. The same goes for the rest of her "tribe," those thousands of hooting, hollering, beer-swilling Seminoles who, like Roberts, spent the 2013–14 season basking in the loping, history-making Hail Marys of Jameis Winston, the team's Heisman-winning quarterback, when they weren't gawking, dumbstruck, at the headlines in which he was accused of sexual assault.In Tribal, Roberts explores college football's grip on the country at the very moment when gender roles are blurring, social institutions are in flux, and the question of who is—and is not—an American is frequently challenged. For die-hard fans, the sport is a comfortable retreat into tradition, proof of our national virility, and a reflection of an America without troubling ambiguities. Yet, Roberts argues, it is also a representation of the buried heart of this country: a game and a culture built upon the dark past of the South, secrets so obvious they hide in plain sight. With her droll Southern voice and a phrase-turning style reminiscent of Roy Blount Jr. and Sarah Vowell, Roberts offers a sociological unpacking of the sport's dubious history that is at once affectionate and cautionary.
