Dark, Salt, Clear Life in a Cornish Fishing Town
epub | 853.5 KB | English | Lamorna Ash | 2020 | Bloomsbury Publishing | Page: 336
About Dark, Salt, Clear Life in a Cornish Fishing Town :
A BBC RADIO 4 BOOK OF THE WEEK
'A bracing account of discovery ... Glistens with deftly told snippets and character-rich stories' Financial Times
'Marks the birth of a new star of non-fiction' William Dalrymple
A captivating, lyrical and deeply discerning portrait of life in the Cornish town of Newlyn, the largest working fishing port in Britain, from a brilliant debut writer
There is the Cornwall Lamorna Ash knew as a child - the idyllic, folklore-rich place where she spent her summer holidays. Then there is the Cornwall she discovers when, feeling increasingly dislocated in London, she moves to Newlyn, a fishing town near Land's End. This Cornwall is messier and harder; it doesn't seem like a place that would welcome strangers.
Before long, however, Lamorna finds herself on a week-long trawler trip with a crew of local fishermen, afforded a rare glimpse into their world, their warmth and their...

The Restaurant, A Geographical Approach From Invention to Gourmet Tourist Destinations
pdf | 33.73 MB | English | Olivier Etcheverria | 2020 | Wiley-ISTE; 1 edition | Page: 290
About The Restaurant, A Geographical Approach From Invention to Gourmet Tourist Destinations :
This book analyzes the way in which restaurants are geographical objects that reveal locational logics and strategies, and how restaurants weave close relationships with the space in which they are located. Originating from cities, restaurants feed off the urban environment as much as they feed it ? participating in the qualification, differentiation and hierarchy of cities. Indeed, restaurants in both the city and the countryside maintain a dialogical relationship with tourism. They can be vital players in the establishment of emerging types of gourmet tourism, sometimes even constituting as gourmet tourist destinations in their own right. They participate in the establishment of necessary conditions for local development. Some restaurants are even praised as historic sites, recognized as part of the local heritage, which reinforces their localization and their identity as a gourmet tourist destination.

The Push A Climber's Journey of Endurance, Risk, and Going Beyond Limits
epub | 26.79 MB | English | Tommy Caldwell | 2017 | Penguin Publishing Group | Page: 344
About The Push A Climber's Journey of Endurance, Risk, and Going Beyond Limits :
A dramatic, inspiring memoir by legendary rock climber Tommy Caldwell, the first person to free climb the Dawn Wall of Yosemite's El Capitan
"If you want to be inspired by a great leader, if you want to feel what it takes to do what no one thought possible, if you want to be absorbed by a heroic journey-Tommy Caldwell's story is one of the best you could ever hope to find." - Jim Collins, author of Good to Great
On January 14, 2015, Tommy Caldwell, along with his partner, Kevin Jorgeson, summited what is widely regarded as the hardest climb in history-Yosemite's nearly vertical 3,000-foot Dawn Wall, after nineteen days on the route. Caldwell's odds-defying feat was the culmination of an entire lifetime of pushing himself to his limits as an athlete.

Apple Interface Mysteries
epub | 17.92 MB | English | Michael E. Cohen | 2020 | Take Control Books | Page: 202
About Apple Interface Mysteries :
Solve usability puzzles on Macs, iPhones, and iPads!
When Apple introduced the Mac in 1984, its novel graphical interface revolutionized the way people thought about computers. Thanks to the Mac's graphical user interface, people quickly realized a computer could be both powerful and easy to use. That legendary ease of use, which carried on through the iPod, iPhone, iPad, and other products, helped Apple become the huge cultural force it is today.
And yet, millions of people struggle to make sense of their modern Apple devices. (Indeed, that's the whole reason Take Control Books has existed since 2003!) Users wonder how to accomplish seemingly basic tasks, where to find important menu commands, why the screen is scrolling the "wrong" way, how to type characters that aren't on the keyboard, what gesture they can use to perform common operations on an iPhone or iPad, and why controls they want to use frequently are hidden. What happened to that ease of use, and why have Apple's user interfaces become so.mysterious?
Apple Interface Mysteries aims to answer all those questions and many more. Michael E. Cohen, who is a Certified Usability Analyst (really!) as well as the author of numerous books on Apple products, also loves a good mystery. So he has done extensive research into the evolution of Apple's interfaces in an effort to explain how and why things are the way they are today-and more importantly, how you can find hidden controls and capabilities, solve the puzzles of Apple's seemingly opaque interfaces, and become a happier user in the process.
After an introduction to basic concepts of usability (such as affordances, or cues that tell you how to use a control), Michael takes you on a fascinating journey through mysteriously complicated Mac interfaces such as menus, keyboards, mice, and the desktop. He then turns his attention to iOS/iPadOS, discussing the unique capabilities and limitations of small-screen, touch-oriented devices, including gestures, hidden buttons, and inscrutable onscreen keyboards. The book concludes with a chapter of "crime fighting tips" that help you unravel new perplexities as you encounter them.
Unlike most of our books, the title of this one doesn't begin with the words "Take Control of.." That's because the focus is more on why than on how to, and it makes no attempt to be exhaustive. Rather, it's an explanation of some of the historical and technological factors that led to Apple's current user interfaces. But don't worry, you'll still learn tons of practical skills-along with lots of tips about hidden or hard-to-discover features.

Fightnomics
epub | 23.43 MB | English |978-1939099389 | Reed Kuhn, Kelly Crigger | 2014 | Graybeard Publishing | Page: 142
About Fightnomics :
Fightnomics quantifies the underlying drivers of the world's most exciting and fastest growing sport through deep analysis of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) competition. Part Freakonomics and part Moneyball, Fightnomics is a statistical spotlight on the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) and the fighters who compete in the Octagon.
Does size matter?
Is the Southpaw Advantage real for MMA?
Is it better to be young or experienced in a fight?
How is the UFC Tale of the Tape lying to us?
What makes a strike significant?
What about Ring Rust, Octagon Jitters, or the Home Cage Advantage?
Just how accurate are betting odds?
Theories about how MMA works get put to the test with a little bit of science, and a whole lot of numbers. Fightnomics is the deepest and most complete analysis to date of historical UFC data that answers common, yet hotly debated questions about the sport. The fight game will never quite look the same once you've learned what really matters in a cage fight, and even a few surprising things that don't.
Review- "Analysis is a critical strategic insight for competing at championship levels and Reed is the undisputed champ of MMA analytics." -Greg Jackson, Legendary MMA Trainer and Coach
- "The more I look at this stuff the more I'm impressed. 'Fightnomics' is the fifth cornerman for any serious athlete. Champions handle their careers like CEOs; by the numbers." -Chael Sonnen, UFC Contender and FOX Sports Analyst
- "Preparing for combat requires finding patterns in the chaos of the fight game. I knew the importance of studying my opponents as a fighter and now Reed Kuhn truly allo fans to do the same with 'Fightnomics.' -Kenny Florian. Retired UFC Fighter and FOX Sports Analyst
- "Fightnomics does a fantastic job of tackling the myths of the sport and presenting new and potentially revolutionary theories. There's a ton of information to digest here, but it's worth sifting through to find each golden nugget of truth behind the numbers. Ultimate Fighting Championship just celebrated its 20th anniversary late last year, and with detailed analysis and modern statistics from books like Fightnomics leading the charge, the next 20 years look very bright indeed." -Brian Hemminger, MMAOddsbreaker.com
- "In a sport where everyone has a puncher's chance, you can lose your money literally seconds into a fight. Reed Kuhn is out to dispel this MMA myth through statistics and quantitative analysis. One of the many things he uncovered was a betting trend that could change the way we look at MMA gambling forever." -Marc Raimondi, Fox Sports.com
- "The book is a flat-out must for anyone serious about MMA" -Danny Richards, The Farm BJJ

About The Top of His Game The Best Sportswriting of W C Heinz A Library of America Special Publication :
A timely and empowering book featuring "solid, practical advice for women on how to properly nurture their sons" (Kirkus Revie).
From the moment a mother holds her newborn son, his eyes tell her that she is his world. But often, as he gro up, the boy who needs her simultaneously pushes her away. Calling upon thirty years of experience as a pediatrician, Meg Meeker, M.D., a highly sought after national speaker, assistant professor of clinical medicine, and mother of four, shares the secrets that every mother needs to know in order to strengthen-or rebuild-her relationship with her son.
Boys today face unique challenges and pressures, and the burden on mothers to guide their boys through them can feel overwhelming. This empowering book offers a road map to help mothers find the strength and confidence to raise extraordinary sons by providing encouragement, education, and practical advice about
• the need for mothers to exercise courage and be bolder and more confident about advising and directing their boys
• the crucial role mothers play in expressing love to sons in healthy ways so they learn to respect and appreciate women as they grow up
• the importance of teaching sons about the values of hard work, community service, and a well-developed inner life
• the natural traps mothers of boys often fall into-and how to avoid them
• the need for a mother to heal her own wounds with the men in her life so she can raise her son without baggage and limitations
• the best ways to survive the moments when the going gets tough and a mom's natural ways of communicating-talking, analyzing, exploring-only fuel the fire
When a mother holds her baby boy for the first time, she also instinctively kno something else: If she does her job right and raises her son with self-esteem, support, and wisdom, he will become the man she kno he was meant to be.
