While many falconry books briefly touch on the ethics of the sport, “The Philosophy & Ethics of Falconry” is entirely dedicated to addressing the chief ethical and philosophical questions at the heart of falconry. Readers, whether they are aspiring, new, or experienced falconers (or simply someone intrigued by this unique method of hunting) will be introduced to several philosophical traditions and what wisdom they have to offer for falconry. This book also responds to critics of falconry and offers a robust ethical defense of the sport from an internationally recognized teacher of philosophy and debate. Regardless of the reader’s experience with falconry or style of hawking, everyone will walk away from this book with a richer understanding of what makes the sport worth pursuing and how it fits into an examined, ethical, and worthwhile life.

Hockey is a game where team rivalries are literally sealed with blood into the ice. No other major sport has fans going into the penalty box to fight the players or players going over the boards to fight the fans. Hockey has been known to see team mascots unwittingly cheat death during pre-game entertainment and players escape death mid-action. From benches lined with more coaches than players by game's end to lifetime-ban-inducing penalties worthy of assault charges, this international sport has seen the most bizarre - and often violent - action a broadcaster could only hope to describe. The Voices of Hockey boasts 65 NHL play-by-play broadcasters, past and present, sharing the game's most pinnacle moments of the past 60 plus years. From the Broad Street Bullies to the Bruise Brothers; the great one to the great eight; from flying octopi, catfish, and plastic rats to National Anthem interrupting shouts, these 65 storytellers encapsulate the greatest moments the only sport deserving of the nickname "the fastest game on earth” has to offer. Kirk McKnight is a published American author specializing in sports journalism with an emphasis on broadcasting. He has written three books featuring over 130 play-by-play broadcasters, past and present, for both hockey and baseball. McKnight’s other published books include The Voices of Baseball: The Game’s Greatest Broadcasters Reflect on America’s Pastime and Batting Clean: Why Dale Murphy Belongs in Baseball’s Hall of Fame. Currently serving as editor for The Wahkiakum County Eagle, McKnight lives in Cathlamet, Washington, with his wife, Collette and their child, Adaira.

Featuring contributions from: Emma O'Reilly, the soigneur for the U.S. Postal Service Team and one of the people responsible for bringing Lance Armstrong down as part of David Walsh's investigation; Betsy Andreu, wife of ex-professional cyclist Frankie Andreu and another Lance Armstrong nemesis; and Jen See, who interviews Marianne Vos, arguably the greatest cyclist in the world right now.When Marie Marvingt decided to ride the 1908 Tour de France she was told "absolument, non!" Instead, she rode each stage fifteen minutes after the official racers had departed and finished all 4,488 kms of the parcours--a feat that only 36 of the 110 men who entered the race could equal. Her motto? "I decided to do everything better, always and forever." It's in the spirit of Breakneck Marie that this book has been written.These fresh and vibrant voices examine the sport from a new perspective to provide insights that rarely make it into the mainstream: what is it like to be a top women rider or to work in their support team? Where is the women's sport heading and when will more women be represented at the highest level of sport's governance?

The Tour de France is always one of the sporting calendar's most spectacular and dramatic events. But the 1998 Tour provided drama like no other. As the opening stages in Ireland unfolded, the Festina team's soigneur Willy Voet was arrested on the French–Belgian border with a car-load of drugs. Raid after police raid followed, with arrest after arrest hammering the Tour. In protest, there were riders' strikes and go-slows, with several squads withdrawing en masse and one expelled. By the time the Tour reached Paris, just 96 of the 189 starters remained. And of those 189 starters, more than a quarter were later reported to have doped. The 1998 'Tour de Farce's' status as one of the most scandal-struck sporting events in history was confirmed.Voet's arrest was just the beginning of sport's biggest mass doping controversy – what became known as the Festina affair. It all but destroyed professional cycling as the credibility of the entire sport was called into question and the cycling family began to split apart. And yet, ironically, the 1998 Tour was also one of the best races in years.The End of the Road is the first English-language book to provide in-depth analysis and a colorful evocation of the tumultuous events during the 1998 Tour. Alasdair Fotheringham uncovers, step by step, how the world's biggest bike race sank into a nightmarish series of scandals that left the sport on its knees. He explores its long-term consequences – and what, if any, lessons were learned.

He only finds peace running alone on the roads of his small town in Kansas. Russ finally believes that everyone in his life is gone. Feeling abandoned, he gives himself up wholly to the running by setting an impossible goal. But, he needs help. Long ago, Brad Coy was the fastest marathoner on the planet, but a man who also lost everything he valued to a cheating Russian runner named Yuri Grimlov. Finding a kinship, Coy and Russ team up, retreat to the desert, on a quest to shatter the brain’s protective hold on the body that prevents us from reaching our physical limits of speed and endurance. Meanwhile, Grimlov has been charged with restoring Russia’s tarnished reputation for doping its distance runners. He takes two twin boys from their family and subjects them to his special mixture of psychological manipulation, doping, and scientific training. Inevitably, Coy and Grimlov face off again. Russ discovers whether he really ever was alone in the world and the Twins confront the limits of their love for each other.

Il corpo di tre quarti, la gamba destra piegata all’indietro, il tacco che colpisce il pallone e manda fuori tempo gli avversari. Se si potesse fermare la carriera di Roberto Mancini in un attimo, riassumerla in un solo gesto, sarebbe questo. Una vita calcistica trascorsa all’insegna del colpo a effetto, con un bagaglio tecnico sterminato e una personalità dirompente, quella che gli ha permesso di vincere trofei con la Sampdoria, compreso uno scudetto che rappresenta una delle ultime grandi imprese del calcio italiano, e la Lazio. Vittorie significative, arrivate fuori dal giro delle «grandi» storiche. Ma forse quel carattere e quella personalità hanno finito per impedirne un’ascesa ancora maggiore. Marco Gaetani racconta uno dei talenti più limpidi passati per la Serie A negli ultimi quarant’anni, e non ne nasconde gli eccessi caratteriali. «Mancio», esploso ai massimi livelli quando era ancora un adolescente, ha saputo adattarsi presto a un mondo di altissima competitività, senza mai rinunciare al suo modo di intendere la vita e il calcio. Tanti hanno provato a trasformarlo in un centravanti moderno ma hanno dovuto fare i conti con la sua voglia di essere un numero 10, tanti lo hanno amato a prescindere dai suoi improvvisi momenti no. Con la maglia azzurra Mancini è stato atteso invano: il feeling, almeno sul campo, non è mai nato. È poi sbocciato da allenatore, al culmine di un altro percorso, avviato quando ancora non sentiva di aver davvero tolto gli scarpini. E ora, forse, Mancio ha finalmente fatto pace con l’Azzurro.Marco Gaetani (1987) è uno scrittore e giornalista italiano. Come giornalista, si occupa prevalentemente di calcio e basket, scrivendo per giornali e riviste quali Repubblica e L'Ultimo Uomo

Nelle sue 1041 presenze ufficiali ha trasformato il ruolo del difensore, appropriandosi dell’enfasi e dell’estetica del gioco come se fosse un fantasista, caricando alcuni suoi recuperi in scivolata con lo stesso peso emotivo di un gol.Nella storia del calcio sono pochissimi i giocatori che nel corso di una carriera vissuta sempre nella stessa squadra hanno vinto tutto e insieme hanno ridefinito quello che si può fare in campo. Paolo Maldini è uno di loro.Col Milan ha conquistato la sua prima Coppa dei Campioni a vent’anni e l’ultima solo un mese prima di compierne trentanove. Ma il racconto idealizzato e addomesticato di Paolo Maldini ha finito spesso per nascondere la ricchezza di una figura molto più complessa. In questo libro Diego Guido non si è fermato alla superficie. Ha intervistato i protagonisti – Maldini naturalmente, e poi Sacchi, Ambrosini, Prandelli – e ha scelto di raccontare tutte le sfaccettature di un mito del calcio moderno che non ha mai fatto pace con alcuni aspetti di quel mondo.Diego Guido è nato a Mantova nel 1985. Ha lavorato nel marketing di una multinazionale e in un ufficio stampa politico. È head of content dell’agenzia creativa copiaincolla e ha fondato uno studio di naming. Suoi articoli e interviste sono apparsi su Rivista Studio, 'Esquire' e 'L’Ultimo Uomo'. Collabora con Assocalciatori. Paolo Maldini, 1041 è il suo primo libro.
