Foundational Strength
The Basics for Starting Training
By John Flagg
The first step in building anything is to start with a solid foundation. That is as true for strength training as it is for construction. A program built on sound principles, anchored by science and proven effective time and again, will reward you with true and tangible results and lifetime of lifting success. Focusing on the most essential information you need to know to start a safe and effective strength training program, this book provides step-by-step explanations of the key elements and phases of the four essential lifts: squat, bench press, deadlift, and overhead press.
Each lift is accompanied by photos that walk you through the lift from start to finish, detailing the proper mechanics and purpose of the lift. Variations for each lift are included, helping you identify your individual starting point to ensure success, and common errors are identified to help avoid injury. Warm-up exercises ensure your body is ready for each main lift, and an assortment of accessory exercises helps you progress over time. The book also takes the guesswork out of creating workouts, providing the basics of programming and information on how to create your own programs based on your situation, needs, and goals. More than just a bullet-point list of movement descriptions, it gives you a personal coach to guide you on the first steps of your lifting journey. Get the know-how you need to build confidence and success in the gym!

After developing his own Run Walk Run (R) method, which has a more than 98% success rate, Jeff Galloway has helped hundreds of thousands of walkers and runners achieve their goals.
Jeffs plan uses a combination of running and walking intervals that help each person run their desired distance-whether it ’s a 5K race or a half marathon-and achieve their goal times. The method is low milage and can be fit into any schedule. In this book, Jeff not only outlines how to follow the Run Walk Run (R) method, but he also explores the principles of training as well as its mental and physical benefits. He includes a training plan to get beginners started, and he provides tips on how to find one’s own Magic Mile time, how to set up a running strategy, and how to train mental strength.
He also includes advice on running with proper form and technique, using drills to run better, troubleshooting aches and pains, preparing for and finishing a race, and more. Jeff Galloway believes everyone is designed to run and walk, and he helps them to keep moving and enjoy the exercise within his book

Sparring with Smokin' Joe
Joe Frazier's Epic Battles and Rivalry with Ali
By Glenn Lewis
An intimate portrait of Joe Frazier, whose ferocious rivalry with Muhammad Ali made them both boxing legends and cultural touchstones for an era. Just in time for the fiftieth anniversary of the Fight of the Century (Ali-Frazier I), this book provides a penetrating, at times brutally candid, look at legendary champion Joe Frazier. Glenn Lewis spent several months in the gym, on the road, and in verbal tussles with Frazier in 1980, when Frazier was at a crossroads in his life and career. Lewis recounts Frazier's candid takes on his still-recent Hall-of-Fame career, wars with Ali, and hard-scrabble roots. Frazier also reflects on Ali's upcoming comeback fight against Larry Holmes, his own possible return to the ring, preparing his son Marvis for a pro boxing debut, and the impact of racial tensions and cultural upheaval on his fighting legacy. It reveals compelling, never-before-heard anecdotes that give new insight into the usually private Frazier, including how Ali's verbal attacks on Frazier alienated him from his own people and continued to trouble him long after retiring from the ring. An intimate portrait of a legendary fighter, it finally shares Frazier's side of an unforgettable rivalry.

A History of Western Music
Poems
By August Kleinzahler
In a career-spanning selection of poems, August Kleinzahler captures the essence of the Wests greatest music. August Kleinzahlers rhythmic, wry, kinetic style captures the ineffable power and beauty of great songs and artists, as well as the potency of our response to them. In this collection, music is inextricable from life, from landscape, and from the people we remember through it. The poet inhabits the minds and milieus of musicians; he hears arpeggios in the salon of Princesse Edmonde de Polignac and listens to the vibrations of a hummingbird through Bela Bartok. Kleinzahlers verse not only contains the same sonorous beauty as the compositions he writes of but also the vitality and complexity of the moments we associate with them-the way the soundtrack of one’s life becomes defined by the scenes it scores, and vice versa.
Father's Father's Father
By Dane Holt
Dane Holts subject is often the aftermath of tragedy - ecological, personal or social - but these poems grieve in surprising ways. Deflection, displacement and refracted voices combine to animate a world of brilliantly realised situations. And Holts characters, though always articulate, do not precisely comprehend their own relation to what they inherit. Compelling, funny, endlessly inventive, this bold debut collection explores the formation and disillusion of masculinity and community, exposing just how tender and brittle these constructs are.
Plenitude
By Thomas McCarthy
This marks a moment of completion and buoyant plenty in a very real and contemporary Irish world. Enriched at all times by a sense of history - the precise histories of heritage gardens, of novelists such as Molly Keane and Waterford neighbours who had gone to the Great War - his is a poetry of both brief formal lyric and longer historical meditation. A working gardener since early childhood, his thoughts return constantly to images of seasonal change within humanised landscapes, to flowers, trees and changing seasons. The plenitude of the present moment in Ireland, its unexpected prosperity, is constantly prised open to reveal painful childhood memories and stressful political meditations.

In Crocodile Land
Wandering in Northern Australia
By Ion Idriess
The story of travels by lugger through northern waters and into slimy creeks where the huge crocodiles abound. The author took part in many hunting expeditions and enlightens us on the various methods adopted for catching these fearsome creatures… We journey next into the country of the buffaloes. Here on sunlit clearings through thickets of pandanus palms the buffaloes were to be found in hundreds…A man must have a fine horse, intelligent and sure-footed: he must be a perfect shot, for there is only one sure way of killing a buffalo with the first shot-a bullet into the backbone where the hide is thin. Once the shooting starts, the horse must continue his gallop, faster than the buffaloes and alongside them, keeping them going. One stumble and the end is near for horse and rider.

The Tide Is Rising, So Are We! A Climate Movement Anthem
By Shoshana Meira Friedman, Kiki Kita
An inspiring picture book in verse that invites readers into the sweeping story of the climate justice movement and offers a framework for hope and action. Written by climate activist Rabbi Shoshana Meira Friedman, this book speaks to readers spiritual and emotional needs. How do we grieve, organize, and express our love for the world all at once? How do we find our own place in the climate movement at this late hour? With climate anxiety at an all-time high, this book does not put the solution to the environmental crisis on the child-readers shoulders. Instead, it tells the story of an already-vibrant movement the child can join in their own way. Readers will discover a sense of interconnection with the natural world and the millions of people around the globe fighting for a liveable planet. Friedmans uplifting text and Kiki Kitas lush illustrations will propel readers to move into action from a place of joy. This book is an indispensable companion for new and seasoned activists of all ages, and for anyone concerned about the climate crisis. It is based on the song "The Tide Is Rising," a popular climate anthem Rabbi Shoshana Meira Friedman co-wrote with her husband, Yotam Schachter. Simple sheet music is included in the back matter so readers can learn to sing the original song too. "The Tide Is Rising" has been sung at countless protests, marches, religious conferences and congregations, and community gatherings. From Standing Rock to holding cells in police stations and across at least three continents, "Tide" spreads a message of radical empowerment, devotion, and active hope.

A Planet for Life
By Abbie Mitchell
Billions of interactions between animals, plants, ocean, earth and sky keep our planet ticking over. Ecosystems offer habitats that sustain life. Without nature, humans would not exist. Humans are facing the biggest challenge in our history. Biodiversity loss and global warming are changing the way the planet functions. Humans have caused this. However, humans can also correct this. We know how. Every single one of us can make a difference every single day. Choice by choice. Action by action. We can create a sustainable world. You and me. To look after our future, we need to look after nature. We need to understand it. We need to nurture it. We need to respect it. We need to prioritise it. Not sure where to start? Find out how in the pages of this book.

Our Marine World
The Diversity and Conservation of the Earth's Oceans
By Stewart McPherson, Robert Irving
In this book we will explore many of the marine ecosystems and species that make our oceans so biologically rich. It is impossible to explore and explain every niche habitat in 160 pages. However, the intention of this work is to open young readers minds to some of the main marine ecosystems which are found around the world. As we journey through the world's different marine environments and habitats, many of the occupant animals and plants are briefly documented and accompanied general conservation indicators.

The Parent's Guide to SEND
Supporting Your Child with Additional Needs at Home, School and Beyond
By Gary Aubin, Stephen Hull
There is no handbook to being a parent. Much less being a parent of a child with special educational needs. How do you support your child in school? Where do you even begin to try and access local services? What can you expect from your local authority? Co-written by a parent who has been there and a SEND professional who understands the other side of the SEND system, this must-have book answers all of your questions and more. Focusing on the needs of your child rather than diagnostic labels, this easy-to-use guide includes suggestions that you can dip in and out of and includes explanations of language used in this book around SEND. It guides parents through situations at home, from settling at bedtime and understanding instructions, to navigating the school and the SEND system. Perhaps most importantly, it helps you understand your legal rights with practical advice for EHC Needs Assessment, accessing support and much more.
