In horse racing greatness is defined by speed. Being the second fastest counts for little. You have to win. And win. And keep winning until every challenger of your generation is put to the sword. Of the twelve horses lined up on Newmarket Heath that 2011 day, one would do just that. And more. To become the greatest racehorse that has ever lived.Frankel was born on 11 February 2008, with four white socks and a blaze, from impressive equine lines on both his parents’ sides. Simon Cooper revisits the whole of the horse’s life, giving readers an inside tour of the calm oasis that is life a stud farm, where a foal will live with his mother for the first year of his life. Next, the atmosphere of heady possibility that marks the early days of training. Roadwork. Gallops. Trials. Turning raw potential into something more. Frankel begins to set himself apart.A detailed and fast-paced narrative breathlessly recounts the racing career of the horse who, by his retirement to stud at the age of 4, would be rated the greatest of all time. Cooper weaves the horse’s tale with those of his trainer, battling cancer, the stablehands who coped with his explosive nature, the work rider who tamed him, the the jockey who rode in all fourteen of his races, and the owner who saw his potential from the very beginning. The result is a rich and multifaceted tale of modern horse racing, the lives of everyone involved, human and equine, and the unadulterated glory of winning. And winning everything.

Her partner Michael Maddison would back her up all the way to hell itself – and that just may be where this case ends up.Deucalion, Frankenstein’s original and flawed attempt at replicating life, has travelled for two centuries with a secret worse than death. When he returns to New Orleans, his path leads him to O’Connor. Together, they must destroy a monstrosity that even Dr Frankenstein could not imagine. And Deucalion’s journey is fated to end in the ultimate confrontation between a damned creature and his mad creator.

Автор: Dr. Self Mary

The incredible story of how one doctor won her own personal battle against cancer through the power of prayer.Mary Self was first diagnosed with bone cancer in 1983 and underwent above-knee amputation and intensive chemotherapy. Believing that she had beaten the disease she went on to complete her studies in medicine, married her college sweetheart and, in defiance of medical assertions that she was sterile, gave birth to two beautiful children.In February 1999 however, her nightmare was to return as cancer once again ravaged her body. After surgery to remove an affected part of her lung, investigations revealed another tumour in her pelvis. Mary was told that the cancer would no longer respond to treatment and that she was terminally ill. She returned home to her family to make final arrangements, and fulfilled a wish to take her son back to Australia to show him where he had been born.After coming home from Australia, Mary's condition rapidly worsened and she was admitted to a hospice for pain control. She asked the elders of her church to visit and pray for her. They in turn asked the members of other churches to pray for Mary. Still in terrible pain she was admitted to the Birmingham bone care unit but told that there was nothing anyone could do for her. In extreme despair, Mary began to drink heavily in an attempt to blot out the prospect of death, she cried out to God for help.Shortly afterward, Mary received a call from the hospital to say that her most recent bone scan showed a shrinking of the tumour. Over the next three weeks the symptoms vanished and the pain disappeared. When she returned to Birmingham for a repeat bone scan the test was completely clear! The doctors were amazed and agreed that there was no medical explanation for her complete recovery. When she suggested to her specialist that the healing had occurred because of the prayers made on her behalf, he could only reply, 'I'll buy that!'This is a remarkable and uplifting story of how one woman looked into the face of death and survived. Her courage and faith are inspirational.

The bestselling author of Head Strong and The Bulletproof Diet answers the question «How do I kick more ass?»—providing proven techniques for becoming happier, healthier, and smarter, culled from the wisdom and insight of world-class thought leaders and mavericks of science and business.When Dave Asprey started his Bulletproof Radio podcast more than five years ago, he sought out thought leaders and influencers in an array of disciplines, from biochemists to business titans to mediation masters. These folks were some of the top performing humans in the world, people who had changed their areas of study or even pioneered entirely new fields. Dave wanted to know: What did they have in common? What mattered most to them? What makes them so successful at what they do—and what makes them happiest? And so, at the end of each interview, Dave began asking the same question: «What are your top three recommendations for people who want to kick more ass?» Combing through the recordings, looking for patterns and common threads, he found that the wisdom gleaned from these highly successful people can be distilled into three main categories: body, mind, and spirit. Game Changers is the culmination of Dave’s years-long statistical analysis of these conversations, offering thirty-six science-backed, high performance «laws» that are a virtual playbook for how to become not only more successful, but also happier and healthier. Each chapter of Game Changers is structured around one of these laws. Dave combines anecdotes from game changers like Daniel Amen, David Perlmutter, Arianna Huffington, Dan Harris, and Tim Ferris with his own research and practical advice that readers can put into action immediately. From practising gratitude and mindfulness to prioritising social connections and sex, taming fear and anxiety to optimising nutrition and movement, Dave brings together the wisdom of today’s game-changers to help everyone optimise their lives.

Автор: Gavin Henson

Silver boots, perma-tanned skin, shaven legs and gravity-defying red spikes in his hair – Gavin Henson is Wales’s hottest new celeb and rugby’s golden boy. This is his story of a momentous year in rugby, starting with an epic Six Nations Grand Slam for Wales, followed by the toughest of all tours, the British Lions in New Zealand.After kicking the 50-yard goal that sent England to shock defeat in the 2005 Six Nations, the 23-year-old Gavin Henson demonstrated that here, at last, was a Welsh sportsman who was ready to put his proud rugby nation back on the world map.Wales’s Grand Slam triumph – their first since 1978 – was done the hard way, with dramatic victories against the world champions followed by France in Paris, and climaxing in the Millennium stadium against Ireland, amid a crescendo of noise and passion-fuelled expectation.The flamboyant Henson relives those special moments on and off the field: the build-up to the games and the stories from within the inner sanctum of the Welsh dressing room; the pressure of suddenly becoming favourites to win the trophy; the nail-biting victories over England and France; and the moment when Henson knew that life would never be the same again.Fast forward to summer 2005. Wales’s No 12, the inside-centre whose clever running, booming kicks and crunching tackling make him a genuine all-rounder, is the favourite to play alongside captain and Irish phenomenon Brian O’Driscoll in the Lions team against the All Blacks in this most eagerly awaited clash of the Northern and Southern hemispheres.Henson’s insight into this defining tour, his views on coach Clive Woodward and his home nation colleagues (including a fit-again Jonny Wilkinson), and the eye-opening stories away from the rugby – plus all the other highlights of an unprecedented season for Wales’s new generation of talent – will make this book essential reading for the autumn.

Wenn es einen Gott gibt, warum l?sst er dann all die grausamen Dinge zu, die Menschen anderen Menschen antun? Wenn sich Menschen der N?chstenliebe verschreiben, warum vergewaltigen sie dann Kinder? – In diesem vorliegenden Werk wird in erster Linie das Christentum betrachtet, wobei Woods vorwegnimmt, dass es in anderen Religionen ?hnliche unbeantwortete Fragen gibt.

Schriftleiter Christoph Benke er?ffnet Heft 4 mit seiner Notiz, die im Zeitalter der Emp?run-gen und «Shitstorms» f?r die Wiederaneignung einer wohltuenden Unaufgeregtheit pl?diert. Anl?sslich des heurigen Gedenkjahres des hl. Josef gew?hrt Rob Faesen SJ unter der Rubrik Nachfolge interessante Einblicke in die unkonventionelle Josefs-Verehrung des Jesuiten Jean-Joseph Surin. Auch der W?rzburger Bischof Franz Jung begibt sich auf die Spur des hl. Josef, indem er nach einer zeitgem??en Relekt?re des Begriffs Keuschheit fragt und sie schlie?lich als Schule der Beziehungsf?higkeit versteht. Marc Paulys Beitrag widmet sich der politischen Theologie Martin Bubers und Vernard Ellers, die von einer Haltung radikaler Ohnmacht ge-pr?gt ist. Der Themenbereich Kirche zeichnet sich in diesem Heft durch einen eucharistietheologi-schen Schwerpunkt aus. So deutet Jens Br?ckner die eucharistische Anbetung der gebroche-nen Hostie als Zeichen g?ttlicher wie menschlicher Vulnerabilit?t. Die K?lner Fundamen-taltheologin und Religionsphilosophin Saskia Wendel beleuchtet unterschiedliche Spielarten von Leib-Christi-Kosmologien und weist auf die theologischen Problematiken hin, die sich aus einem Verst?ndnis des Universums als K?rper Gottes ergeben. Markus Kneer berichtet von einer Online-Tagung zum marokkanischen Kloster Toumliline, das in den 1950er-Jahren als Ort interreligi?ser und interkultureller Begegnung weltweite Bekanntheit erlangte. In der Jungen Theologie verdichtet Saskia L?ser ihre Erfahrungen mit den ver?nderten Formen von Liturgie w?hrend der Corona-Pandemie. Unter Reflexion lenkt Marc R?bel die Aufmerksamkeit der Leser(innen) auf das bewegte Leben der franz?sischen Philosophin Simone Weil (1909–1943). Sie hat aus ihren Denkerfah-rungen zu den Totalitarismen des 20. Jahrhunderts drei Grundannahmen entwickelt, die auch in unserer Zeit zu einer ad?quaten Kultur der Kontroverse beitragen k?nnen. Benedikt Poetsch stellt sich die Frage, was Berufung im Anschluss an das Zweite Vaticanum bedeutet und referiert dabei wichtige Einsichten seiner im letzten Jahr ver?ffentlichten Dissertation. Andreas Wei? stellt den zweiten Teil seines Beitrags zur «Radical Orthodoxy», der ihre theo-logischen Schieflagen in den Blick nimmt, zur Verf?gung. Der Bochumer Fundamentaltheo-loge Markus Knapp geht der Frage auf den Grund, was die Kirchen den Menschen zur Zeit der Corona-Pandemie ?berhaupt noch zu sagen haben und inwiefern Dietrich Bonhoeffer hier ein hilfreicher Impulsgeber sein k?nnte. Schlie?lich versammelt die Rubrik Lekt?re ein von Michel de Certeau SJ verfasstes Portrait der Gr?nderin der Helferinnen, Eug?nie Smet, sowie einen poetisch inspirierten Nachruf auf den in diesem Jahr verstorbenen Dichter und ehemaligen Prior der Abtei Maria Laach Drut-mar Cremer OSB von Georg Langenhorst.

FOREWORD BY ALI SMITHWITH AN INTRODUCTION BY FRANCESCA WADEWho better to serve as a guide to great books and their authors than Virginia Woolf?In the early years of its existence, the Times Literary Supplement published some of the finest writers in English: T. S. Eliot, Henry James and E. M. Forster among them. But one of the paper’s defining voices was Virginia Woolf, who produced a string of superb essays between the two World Wars.The weirdness of Elizabethan plays, the pleasure of revisiting favourite novels, the supreme examples of Charlotte Bront?, George Eliot and Henry James, Thomas Hardy and Joseph Conrad: all are here, in anonymously published pieces, in which may be glimpsed the thinking behind Woolf’s works of fiction and the enquiring, feminist spirit of A Room of One’s Own.Here is Woolf the critical essayist, offering, at one moment, a playful hypothesis and, at another, a judgement laid down with the authority of a twentieth-century Dr Johnson. Here is Woolf working out precisely what’s great about Hardy, and how Elizabeth Barrett Browning made books a “substitute for living” because she was “forbidden to scamper on the grass”. Above all, here is Virginia Woolf the reader, whose enthusiasm for great literature remains palpable and inspirational today.

Few modern British sportsmen have fascinated the public more than Geoff Boycott. In this first comprehensive and balanced account of Boycott’s life – fully updated to include his battle against cancer – award-winning author Leo McKinstry lifts the lid on one of cricket’s great enigmatic characters.A record-breaking Test cricketer and acerbic commentator, Geoff Boycott has never been far away from controversy during his long career in the game.Based on meticulous research and interviews with a host of players, Test captains, officials, broadcasters, friends and enemies, this definitive biography cuts through the Boycott myth to expose the truth about this charismatic, single-minded and often exasperating personality.What was Boycott like as a schoolboy? How did his England cricket colleagues such as Graham Gooch, Dennis Amiss and Brian Close feel about him as a person? Why was he so unpopular in his early career for Yorkshire? And what is the real truth about the relationships that soured his private world?From his upbringing as a miner’s son in a Yorkshire village, through highlights like his hundredth century at Headingley against Australia, to the low points such as the damaging court case in France, this warts-and-all account of his life makes for captivating reading.

The first major biography (since 1983) of the great movie mogul George Lucas, whose marketing techniques have transformed the film business. His fourth Star Wars film, The Phantom Menace, released in 1999, was perhaps the most eagerly awaited cinematic event of all time.George Lucas is one of the most innovative bigtime players on the movie scene. His three Star Wars films and the trio featuring the action hero Indiana Jones (all six of which Lucas conceived, produced and co-wrote) comprise the most popular group of films ever made. To finance them, he masterminded a revolutionary redrawing of the financial agreements under which films were produced in Hollywood, snatching away control of funding, intellectual content and the distribution of profits from studios, and placing them in the hands of the film-makers themselves.Yet Lucas remains (like Stanley Kubrick, the subject of John Baxter’s recent biography) an enigma and a recluse. He has specially built the Skywalker Ranch a long way from Hollywood – a Victorian village community in a redwood forest where he and his friends can work in splendid isolation, free of studio pressure but with the highest technology.

From the bestselling author of Eats, Shoots and Leaves, a hilarious new book from Lynne Truss about her strange journey through the world of sport and sports journalism.Get Her Off the Pitch! is the story of one woman's foray into the very masculine and rather baffling world of sport. Lynne Truss, author of Eats, Shoots and Leaves, spent four years as an unlikely sports writer for The Times. It was a job that took her around the world (via the most difficult journeys and least glamorous hotels) and introduced her to some of the greatest living sportsmen (and many argumentative men with clipboards).During her time at the newspaper she faced disdain from fellow sports writers; undertook last-minute, pre-fight research into 'The Rumble in the Jungle' (Muhammad Ali won, surprisingly); tried unsuccessfully to interpret bizarre commentary and memorize results statistics; wept at football matches and discovered a lasting love for golf. She was even nominated for Sports Writer of the Year.Get Her Off the Pitch! is the hilarious, perceptive and at times moving account of those four strange years. It is perfect for those for whom sport is a matter of life and death, for those who have no idea what all the fuss is about – and for everyone in between.
