The Fishing Life is an entertaining anthology of fishing anecdotes and well-researched articles from across Paul Schullery’s research and fishing career. The author offers up stories, essays, farces, daydreams, and ruminations that will engage listeners of all kinds. Of course, being a fisherman and living the fishing life goes beyond just those days spent with rod and reel in hand. It is something that occupies your mind and your heart, not just your hands.

Legendary sportswriter Red Smith characterized Ben Hogan’s comeback from a near-fatal automobile crash in February 1949 as “the most remarkable feat in the history of sports.” Now, more than 60 years later, that statement still rings true. The crowning moment of Hogan’s comeback was his astonishing victory in the 1950 U.S. Open at Merion Golf Club near Philadelphia, where his battered legs could barely carry him on the 36-hole final day.

Fly fishermen everywhere will enjoy these varied, witty, and engaging adventures by one of America’s finest outdoor writers. There is a long section on trout fishing called "Brookies, Browns, and Bows", and another on the challenges and excitement of saltwater fly fishing, and an exciting group of memoirs about fishing near home and in far-flung and often exotic places - like the Minipi, Bighorn, and Norfolk rivers, where the trout can beggar the imagination, and where frustration can be the occupational hazard.

Few books have captured the haunting world of music and rivers and of the sport they provide as well as A River Never Sleeps. Roderick L. Haig-Brown writes of fishing not just as a sport, but also as an art. He knows moving water and the life within it - its subtlest mysteries and perpetual delights. He is a man who knows fish lore as few people ever will, and the legends and history of a great sport. Month by month, he takes you from river to river, down at last to the saltwater and the sea.

From the highly acclaimed author of Ninety-two in the Shade and Cloudbursts comes a collection of alternately playful and exquisite essays—including seven collected here for the first time—borne of a lifetime spent fishing.

Il "Cannibale" Eddie Merckx, il più forte di tutti, e il "Pirata" Marco Pantani, un magnifico testardo che ci ha lasciato troppo presto. Beppe Saronni e la perfetta strategia della fucilata di Goodwood, Claudio Chiappucci e l'impresa tutta istinto del Sestrière. L'indisciplinato Peter Sagan e Laurent Fignon, il "Professore". E poi l'irrequietezza dell'enigmatico Gianni Bugno, l'impetuosa forza tranquilla di Miguel Indurain, il fascino di Fabian Cancellara e la spavalderia di Lance Armstrong, al centro dello scandalo più grande della storia del ciclismo.

Gare Joyce, a sportswriter with the soul of poet and a penchant for trouble, has penned a tell-all memoir that is laugh-out-loud hilarious, savage—and tender at the quick. The media has their stock narratives, but Joyce tells the undiluted, unfiltered truth about the stars and also about his fellow messengers up in the press box.

Diciotto canzoni, diciannove donne straordinarie. Simone Sarasso, autore innamorato della montagna e della fatica, racconta le eroine del trail running con le canzoni che sono diventate, concerto dopo concerto, la colonna sonora della sua vita. Una raccolta di ritratti non convenzionali. Dagli AC/DC ai Green Day, dai Doors ai Metallica passando per le sonorità più ricercate (ma non per questo meno selvagge) delle Bikini Kill e dei Pogues, Sarasso ripercorre le carriere delle atlete più forti del panorama italiano e internazionale.

El Rayo Vallecano es de los últimos equipos de barrio que pueden encontrarse en España. Este hecho lo ha dotado de una particular idiosincrasia que se refleja en este audiolibro, en el que se habla de fútbol, pero también de ideología, de historia y de una ciudad.

No recuerdo cuándo dejé el fútbol. Solo sé que un tiempo después aprendí a controlar el balón con las figuras metálicas de un futbolín. A pocos metros del colegio, en un bar de La Maruca, había uno extraordinario, de madera maciza y mangos que se movían como pistones, mangos pegajosos. Las bolas tenían muescas. La última vale doble en caso de empate. Pasar por debajo al dejar al otro a cero. Cervezas en botellín. Vestidos. Los primeros móviles. Mejillones en salsa para doce. Cigarros.

«El Celta rozó la hazaña», se pudo leer en todas las crónicas deportivas. Si el roce hace el cariño, la hazaña debe de querer muchísimo al Celta porque llevamos décadas rozándola, acariciándola y haciéndole cosquillitas en el sofá. A la hazaña, estoy segura, le hemos provocado algún que otro orgasmo.

The pro football season of 1963 was dominated by the unexpected. In April, months prior to the beginning of play, it was revealed that two All-Star players, Paul Hornung and Alex Karras, were gambling on the sport and would be suspended from play for at least a year. Even worse, in May, one of the league’s bigger-than-life personalities, Big Daddy Lipscomb, was found dead, with police saying he perished from a heroin overdose, something those who knew him best still dispute.

From the twisted and juvenile mind that brought you the national best seller Anchorboy comes another rollicking collection of embarrassing stories that'll make you laugh, cry, and feel just a little bit uncomfortable.

50 runners, from the world's elite to passionate amateurs, share the races they'll never forget. Every runner that enters a race has a unique reason for competing: racing for the challenge, for the achievement, for the health benefits, or for more personal reasons. But whether they are twenty-mile-a-day elite marathoners or twenty-mile-a-week recreational runners, each of them can invariably point to a singular performance as "the best race I ever ran."

On January 1, 1966, New York came to a standstill as the city's transit workers went on strike. This was the first day on the job for Mayor John Lindsay - a handsome, young former congressman with presidential aspirations - and he would approach the issue with an unconventional outlook that would be his hallmark. Against this backdrop, too, the sporting scene saw tremendous upheaval.
