A former supermodel who eventually embraced Eastern thought, Turlington recounts how yoga has affected her life and offers explanations for the philosophy underlying the practice.
Supermodel Turlington, whose angelic face has graced the pages of Vogue, Elle and other fashion glossies since the 1980s, has lately been lending her image to a more profound pursuit: yoga. The 33-year-old has been practicing yoga for 15 years, has her own yoga clothing line, is a Yoga Journal contributing editor, and-with the publication of this book-becomes the first mainstream celebrity to write a book about yoga and how it’s affected her life. There’s a lot to digest here, between the historical and technical explanations about yoga and Eastern philosophy and the anecdotal asides from Turlington’s life, but the book’s clean, Zen-like layout and simple prose help make it accessible. Turlington’s aim is to help students who may be overwhelmed by the unlimited information available on yoga and to emphasize reasons to practice that go beyond getting a nice butt. She attempts to understand yoga’s universal spiritual appeal, examining the basics of Hinduism (Turlington is a practicing Catholic), and draws parallels between chanting and saying the rosary. She shares a bit of personal information about her modeling career, her father’s death from lung cancer and her relationship with her sisters, and includes the obligatory photographs of her scantily clad self doing salamba sirsasana (headstand) and bakasana (crow pose). The combination of serious yoga talk with memoir-like reminiscences make for an engrossing and inspiring overview of yoga.

When Valentino Rossi dedicated his 2005 World Championship win to Barry Sheene, it was a fitting memorial to the man who perhaps more than any other made motorcycling the hugely successful sport it is today. Sadly, he died of cancer in 2003, only aged 52. Barry Sheene won the British motorcycling 125cc championship at the age of twenty and twice became World Champion in the 500cc class, despite two life-threatening crashes, both of which he overcame with great courage and determination. BARRY is an intimate and revealing account told by three people who knew him better than most. Steve Parrish, fellow bike racer and now BBC commentator, admits that Barry completely changed his life, and reveals just what he got up to with his ‘partner in crime’…Nick Harris, one of Barry’s greatest fans, wrote and broadcast on all his major successes, and ended up by working alongside Barry as a television commentator. Barry’s widow, Stephanie, has collaborated fully and written a foreword. She reveals Barry’s great insecurity, their family life and his long and brave fight against cancer.

“Because it is there.” These simple words, spoken by pioneer mountaineer George Leigh Mallory to explain why we feel compelled to climb mountains, have become the mantra of many generations of trekkers. Veteran climber Stefano Ardito explores the enduring lure of the world’s highest and most beautiful mountains and chronicles the most outstanding climbs through dramatic photographs, gripping accounts, and fascinating descriptions of the preparations, equipment, and conditioning necessary to make these historical treks. Beginning with a concise chronology of mountaineering, this compelling volume places mountaineering adventures in a historical context, starting with the conquest of Mt. Blanc, the highest peak in the Alps, in 1786. The book progresses to other milestones in mountaineering–the Himalayas, Mt. McKinley, the sheer granite slabs of El Capitan in Yosemite, and many more. Archival photographs juxtaposed with specially commissioned pictures document the hardships, victories, and defeats of these outings. Readers meet the early adventurers who dared to venture where no man had been before and the contemporary trekkers who, equipped with state-of-the-art technology and benefiting from the experience of those who went before them, have taken the art of mountain climbing to new extremes.

Puskas of Hungary in the ’50s; Pele of Brazil and Gianni Rivera of Italy in the ’60s; Platini of France in the ’70s; Diego Maradona of Argentina in the ’80s; Baggio and Zidane in the ’90s - the most magical, supremely talented footballers of the post-war period have all worn the Number 10 shirt. Puskas presided over the regal Real Madrid side that won five consecutive European Cups between 1955 and 1960 and like his fellow number 10s in the football hall of fame and infamy, shares the uncanny ability to transcend the role of mere ‘player’. The terms ‘inside forward’, ‘playmaker’ or ‘fantasista’ fail to capture the instinct for genius that characterises all great Number 10s.

In ten mini-biographical essays on some of the greatest players the world has ever seen Richard Williams explores the astonishing creative influence of the most celebrated players to wear the shirt and recreates some of the most memorable moments witnessed on a football field.
