The Full Monty: The Full Monty
by Monty PanesarThe autobiography of &“a left-arm spinner of immense class and limitless charm . . . an unlikely hero of the English game,&” cricket superstar Monty Panesar (The Guardian). Having spent five years learning his trade in County Cricket, Monty Panesar established himself with England in 2006, quickly becoming a national hero, with his trademark black turban, wide eyes and eager fielding. Monty was a different type of spinner to those which had gone before, here was someone who was not afraid to &‘give it some air&’ and attack batsmen. For a time, he was considered the savior of English spin bowling. His commitment and enthusiasm for the sport made him stand out. His performances encouraged others to hone their skills to the extent that others emerged and took his place. The England team saw glimpses of him after that, most notably when Graeme Swann and Monty combined in Mumbai in November 2012, dubbed the &“dust devils&” as they returned joint figures of 19 for 323, in one of the greatest England spin double acts in history, only the fourth occasion that England spinners had combined to take 19 wickets or more wickets in a Test and the first time for 54 years. As Monty&’s career declined however, so did his health. He struggled with a tiresome shoulder injury before struggling with mental health issues. In The Full Monty, &“there are certainly some dark corners opened up and explored, but Panesar&’s is a fascinating story . . . the book is difficult to put down.&” (Cricket Web).
A Full Net: Fishing Stories from Maine and Beyond
by Susan DaignaultSusan “Sue” Daignault was practically born with a rod and reel in her hand. Nearly from her birth, she and her family spent entire summers surfcasting for striped bass along the coasts of Massachusetts and Rhode Island. That love has followed her through her days in the Coast Guard and to her home on the coast of Maine and to some of the most beautiful, and fishy, places in the world. In her fun and fascinating new book, A Full Net, Sue shares with readers how she became “fish-brained,” and a woman increasingly driven to pursue everything from bonefish and tarpon to bass and, of course, stripers—wherever and whenever she could. What shines through all of her stories of success, failure, and friendship is a love for the waters of the world and the respect and admiration for the fish who call them home.

Fully Alive: Discovering What Matters Most
by Timothy ShriverOn a quest for what matters most, Timothy Shriver discovers a radically different, inspiring way of life. At a time when we are all more rudderless than ever, we look for the very best teachers and mentors to guide us. In Fully Alive, an unusual and gripping memoir, Timothy Shriver shows how his teachers have been the world's most forgotten minority: people with intellectual disabilities. In these pages we meet the individuals who helped him come of age and find a deeper and more meaningful way to see the world. Shriver's journey begins close to home, where the quiet legacy of his aunt Rosemary, a Kennedy whose intellectual disability kept her far from the limelight, inspired his family to devote their careers to helping the most vulnerable. He plays alongside the children of Camp Shriver, his mother's revolutionary project, which provided a space for children with intellectual disabilities to play, and years later he gains invaluable wisdom from the incredible athletes he befriends as chairman of the organization it inspired, Special Olympics. Through these experiences and encounters with scholars, spiritual masters, and political icons such as Nelson Mandela, Shriver learns how to find humility and speak openly of vulnerability and faith. Fully Alive is both a moving personal journey and a meditation on some of the greatest wisdom and the greatest contradictions of our society. Is disability to be feared or welcomed, pitied or purged? Shriver argues that we all have different abilities and challenges we should embrace. Here we see how those who appear powerless have turned this seeming shortcoming into a power of their own, and we learn that we are all totally vulnerable and valuable at the same time.

Fun and Games: My 40 Years Writing Sports
by Dave Perkins&“Covering many of the biggest names and greatest events in sports, it&’s a wonderful collection of yarns and reminiscences, told in Perk&’s inimitable style&” (Postmedia News). Dave Perkins was once told by a bluntly helpful university admissions officer: &“You don&’t have the looks for TV or the voice for radio. You should go into print.&” Which he did, first at the Globe and Mail, and then for thirty-six well-traveled years at the Toronto Star. In Fun and Games, Perkins recounts hysterical, revealing, and sometimes embarrassing personal stories from almost every sport and many major championships. After forty years of encountering a myriad of athletes, fans, team managers, and owners, Perkins offers unique observations on the Blue Jays and Raptors, fifty-eight major championships&’ worth of golf, ten Olympic Games, football, hockey, boxing, horse racing, and more. Learn why Tiger Woods asked Perkins if he was nuts, why he detected Forrest Gump in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, and why Super Bowl week is the worst week of the year. Perkins exposes the mistakes he made in both thought and word—once, when intending to type &“the shot ran down the goalie&’s leg,&” he used an &“i&” instead of an &“o&”—and to this day, he has never found a sacred cow that didn&’t deserve a barbecue. &“Few can spin a yarn with the wit and clever turns of phrase that Perky can.&” —Shi Davidi, Sportsnet &“Anyone who has ever spoken to Dave Perkins, or read Dave Perkins, remembers his voice. This book is a delightful way to experience it all again, through the wise, funny man&’s eyes.&” —Bruce Arthur, Toronto Star sports columnist
Fun City: John Lindsay, Joe Namath, and How Sports Saved New York in the 1960s
by Sean DeveneyOn January 1, 1966, New York came to a standstill as the city’s transit workers went on strike. This was the first day on the job for Mayor John Lindsay--a handsome, young former congressman with presidential aspirations--and he would approach the issue with an unconventional outlook that would be his hallmark. He ignored the cold and walked four miles, famously declaring, "I still think it is a fun city. ” As profound social, racial, and cultural change sank the city into repeated crises, critics lampooned Lindsay’s "fun city. ” Yet for all the hard times the city endured during and after his tenure as mayor, there was indeed fun to be had. Against this backdrop, too, the sporting scene saw tremendous upheaval. On one hand, the venerable Yankees--who had won 15 pennants in an 18-year span before 1965--and the NFL’s powerhouse Giants suddenly went into a level of decline neither had known for generations, as stars like Mickey Mantle and Whitey Ford on the diamond and Y. A. Tittle on the gridiron aged quickly. But on the other, the fall of the city’s sports behemoths was accompanied by the rise of anti-establishment outsiders--there were Joe Namath and the Jets, as well as the shocking triumph of the Amazin’ Mets, who won the 1969 World Series after spending the franchise’s first eight seasons in the cellar. Meanwhile, the city’s two overlooked franchises, the Knicks and Rangers, also had breakthroughs, bringing new life to Madison Square Garden. The overlap of these two worlds in the 1960s--Lindsay’s politics and the reemerging sports landscape--serves as the backbone of Fun City. In the vein of Ladies and Gentlemen: The Bronx is Burning, the book tells the story of a remarkable and thrilling time in New York sports against the backdrop of a remarkable and often difficult time for the city, culturally and socially. The late sixties was an era in which New York toughened up in a lot of ways; it also was an era in which a changing of the guard among New York pro teams led the way in making it a truly fun city.
Fun & Games with Alistair Cooke: On Sport and Other Amusements
by Alistair Cooke Michael ParkinsonFrom Duke Ellington to Churchill Downs, championship golf to Greta Garbo, Alistair Cooke reports on the popular sports and entertainments he loved the most This delightful anthology, drawn from Alistair Cooke's Letter from America BBC broadcasts as well as his reporting for the Guardian, showcases the legendary journalist's wide range of sporting pleasures, which include golf, tennis, baseball, and horse racing, and records memorable fun he had with favorite movies, theater productions, and jazz performances.

Filled with Cooke's infectious enthusiasm for fun and games of wide variety, the lighter side of the legendary journalist's output will be enjoyed by devotees of popular culture.

El funcionamiento general del mundo
by Eduardo SacheriLa nueva novela de Sacheri, Premio Alfaguara de novela: Una historia emocionante sobre la adolescencia «donde lo cotidiano se vuelve épico» (Juan José Campanella) «—Me gusta tu idea, Benítez. —¿Cuál idea, profe? —Esa: que jugar es como entender el funcionamiento general del mundo.» El viaje a las Cataratas del Iguazú de Federico Benítez y sus hijos ya está arreglado, pero una llamada de último momento altera los planes: una deuda de gratitud, vieja e impostergable, lo obliga a cambiar de rumbo y encaminarse, con esos dos disgustados adolescentes a la rastra, hacia la lejana Patagonia. En cuatro días de viaje este hombre ensimismado y torpe les contará a los jóvenes una historia oculta que es la suya, la suya y la de su desangelada adolescencia, la suya y la del Primer Torneo Interdivisional de Fútbol del Colegio Nacional Normal Superior Arturo Del Manso, jugado en 1983. Y ese torneo de fútbol, con sus arbitrariedades, con sus trampas, con sus mezquindades pero también con sus grandezas, con sus luces y con sus sombras, será para este muchacho de quince años un laboratorio de la vida, del que saldrá transformado. Bajo la forma de un relato de viaje, de una novela de iniciación, Eduardo Sacheri nos atrapa en una historia emocionante sobre los vínculos humanos y nos muestra cómo en el inmenso friso del poder puede recortarse de pronto una figura generosa capaz de cambiar el curso de una vida. La crítica ha dicho:«Sacheri ha revivido el relato futbolístico en tanto género literario importante con cautivadores cuentos que usan el deporte como prisma para mostrar las idiosincrasias de su nación.»Jonathan Gilbert, The New York Times «El argentino Eduardo Sacheri hace de las historias cotidianas lecturas conmovedoras, de los lugares comunes situacionesuniversales.»Rocío Huerta, El País «Es la presencia de Sacheri en los guiones lo que hace que las películas de Campanella tengan un importante toque de humor, un humor muy de Buenos Aires, rápido y algo negro.»Soledad Gallego-Díaz, El País «La literatura de Eduardo Sacheri ya se instaló a través de la vida, la verdad o el fútbol, en un lugar que todos reconocemos y al que nos aferramos porque el mensaje final es que la derrota es sobre todo una señal que nos prepara para una próxima victoria.»Alejandro Apo «El registro coloquial es una marca tradicional que acompaña a este escritor al que no le caería mal el mote de costumbrista. Es que a Sacheri no le interesan tanto los héroes universales, sino las aventuras pedestres de los seres más mundanos, esos que uno se encuentra en los andenes cargados de cualquier estación del Sarmiento.»Revista Ñ, Clarín (Chile) «Eduardo Sacheri lleva cerca de 25.000 libros vendidos yse ha convertido en todo un éxito editorial al otro lado de la cordillera. Su pluma extrae una radiografía de la sociedad bonaerense a través de la pasión por el fútbol.»Vladimir Coppo G., La Nación (Chile) «Esa vida que transmite tiene la emoción de la vida en serio. No se nos ocurre que las lágrimas, las alegrías, las tristezas puedan ser ficción. Sacheri nos convence de que lo que el narra realmente ocurrió.»Tiempo perdido «Sacheri, a riesgo de caer en clichés, hace extraordinario lo ordinario. Lo mucho que te amé es una novela estupenda para lectores que, en días de aislamiento, buscan libros que le hagan escapar, aunque sea por un rato.»Jorge Raya Pons, The Objective «Argentina es un país proclive a psicoanalizarse a través del fútbol. La prueba: Osvaldo Soriano, Jorge Valdano y, sobre todo, Eduardo Sacheri, autor de Esperándolo a Tito, libro imprescindible que incluye un homenaje a Maradona sin nombrarlo y

Functional Exercise Anatomy and Physiology for Physiotherapists
by Cetin Sayaca Özden Özkal Abdulhamit Tayfur Filiz Erdem Eyüboğlu Mahmut CalikThis book aims to create a bedside resource for physiotherapists and exercise specialists dealing with a defined movement problem and plan and apply functional therapeutic exercises that can be diversified for the patient.For physiotherapists, exercise is undoubtedly the greatest weapon in treating diseases and improving health. Functional exercise approaches aim to improve physical performance and activities of daily life by adapting exercise prescriptions to the movements that the individual makes frequently in daily life or in sports. The daily activities vary from person to person due to our different habits and lifestyles. Therefore, functional exercise training should be designed differently for everyone. When designing a functional exercise prescription, physiotherapists should consider previous injuries or surgeries that may limit physical activity, as well as general health, muscular strength, endurance and strength, aerobic capacity, and activities that the patient should do in daily life. The functional exercise prescription should be customized considering both the fragility of the patient due to injury or surgery, and the strengths of the patient such as sports/exercise history and healthy eating habits.The book consists of four different parts: the concepts of exercise and physical activity, exercise types, and prescriptions are presented in the first part. The second part is dedicated to musculoskeletal anatomy specific to functional exercise, while the third part explores functional exercise-specific systems physiology and illustrates the compliance of each system with exercise, basic exercise physiology information, and the evaluation and treatment of individuals who are healthy and have diseases that affect each system. Finally, the book has the part of a special topic dealing with nutrition/nutritional supplements affecting recovery in the rehabilitation process after injury or surgery and supporting physical performance during exercise/sports. This book will be of interest to physiotherapists as well as health and sports professionals.

Functional Exercise Prescription: Supporting rehabilitation in movement and sport
by Eyal LedermanIn Functional Exercise Prescription, Eyal Lederman presents a revolutionary new approach for exercise prescription that uses the individual's own movement repertoire. The book demonstrates how daily activities (the life gym) can be amplified to provide the necessary movement challenges to support movement rehabilitation in many musculoskeletal and pain conditions. Hence, all activities can become remedial without the need to prescribe unfamiliar exercise; in other words, 'how to exercise without exercise' or 'how to rehabilitate without exercise'.People recover from most musculoskeletal and pain conditions through three key processes: repair, adaptation, and alleviation of symptoms. The author explains how to identify the individual's recovery process and how to select the appropriate daily or sporting activities, and, how they can be modified to support recovery.Functional Exercise Prescription is a dramatic departure from the traditional strength and conditioning models that have been used for rehabilitation. The book explores the limitation of these models and explains how they can be replaced by functional daily activities ('functioncise'). It provides the practitioner with practical tools to construct a tailor-made plan for each individual to help expedite and optimize their recovery. Most rehabilitation can be constructed from a small familiar set of daily or sports activities.All human physical activity is exercise. Life is your gym.
