Crucially, the process accepts that it is important to win but it is more important to thrive. The priority focus is creating a sustainable culture that allows athletes to succeed, over and over again.In How to Win, Dr Kate Hays will show you how her framework isn't a resource solely reserved for elite Olympians or international football teams. In fact, anyone can find long-term and sustainable success using these methods.Work your way through a series of easy-to-understand psychological exercises and challenges; apply the learned lessons and skills to your environment (whether that be in sport, business, family, or any individual or group endeavour); follow the processes set out in 'The Building Blocks of Success' to create a greater understanding of self and of the people working, playing or striving alongside you.How to Win will help you find your purpose, fulfil your potential, and thrive.

How to Win

This timely exploration of social geography reveals how inequality and justice unfold across interconnected scales around the globe. Through embodied, relational encounters, the book unpacks how everyday spaces shape who we are and what we might become. Grounded in care and hope, it invites readers to imagine fairer futures and remain committed to meaningful, long-term change.The text offers a dynamic, case-driven and sometimes image-driven exploration of pressing social issues in our increasingly unequal, post-pandemic world. Designed for student engagement, the book provides real-world case studies that span the globe, critical concepts, and thought-provoking questions to help readers analyse injustice, build conceptual "toolkits," and imagine routes toward meaningful social change. Rather than offering easy answers, this book equips readers with flexible, practical frameworks-encouraging selective, critical thinking to better understand and communicate complex social problems. Ideal for classroom use and independent study, it empowers students to connect theory with action and to think like geographers committed to justice. The book also includes Engagement Questions, encouraging readers to reflect on the subject of the chapter and the wider topics within the field of social geography.This book is essential reading for students of social and political geography, and allied fields of urban, health and wellbeing, and political geographies.

Time wants you dead. Not just you, but your friends, family, pets - everyone you've ever met...

'A beautifully written book about life and death: busts myths, explores the stories of science and history, and ultimately is rich and uplifting.' Dr Adam Rutherford

With over 17,000 known diseases affecting humans, and countless poisons, carcinogens and toxins in our environment, it's a miracle that our bodies manage to keep us alive. And that is, of course, if they don't betray us themselves, whether through cancers or autoimmune conditions.

Biomedical researcher Professor John Tregoning tells the unlikely story of how, against all odds, we manage to stay alive. Taking an organ-by-organ tour of the human body, Tregoning embarks on his own experimental quest, testing 'life-extending' diets and exercise regimes to separate fact from fad. Exploring the multitude of ways our bodies can kill us, from inherited genetic conditions, through heart attacks, arrythmias and angina, onto the delicate workings of the brain, Live Forever?&nbsp;offers compelling insight into how our bodies work, how we can best look after them - and ultimately live longer, healthier lives.

'I heartily recommend this deep dive into wellness... It turns out that none of us are getting out of here alive, but John has bravely put his mind and body on the line to discover the secrets of staying healthy and happy as we get older. A funny, fascinating and educative book.' Ben Willbond, co-creator of Ghosts

'The idea that a book about death and dying could be a delightful read seems ridiculous, and yet John Tregoning has pulled off this trick with humour, flair and elegance.' Nessa Carey, author of The Epigenetics Revolution

'An enjoyable and entertaining mixture of scientific facts about ageing and completely unscientific self-experimentation... recognizing that although none of us will live forever, there are ways we can improve our chances of living well while we are still around.' Dame Sarah Gilbert

Countries across the world are facing issues such as poverty, climate change, population ageing, issues related to immigration, migration, COVID-19 and intergenerational historic trauma, mental illness and rising income inequality. The established world order and global dominance of the Western-centric development agenda and modernity and the unequal distribution of world’s resources have created tremendous problems for many people living in global as well as local communities, both in developed and developing countries.&nbsp;
<div>
This major reference work handbook discusses global social problems across social, political, economic and geographical boundaries.&nbsp;By bringing together contributions that approach social problems at different levels of society (local, regional, national, transnational, or at the macro, meso and micro levels), it&nbsp;considers them as globally interconnected and mediated by new geopolitical and market logics.&nbsp;
</div>
<div>
This volume showcases new approaches to social problems, it is multidisciplinary in its approach and thematically organised.&nbsp;

Was machen Kirchen mit Menschen und Menschen in Kirchen? In welche Verbindung treten sie mit den in diesen Räumen verteilten Dingen? Und was erfahren wir daraus über Religion in der Gegenwart? Ausgehend von Feldbesuchen in Hamburger Kirchenräumen erschließen&nbsp;die Beiträger*innen aus Religionswissenschaft, Religionspädagogik und Praktischer Theologie das Wechselverhältnis von Dingen, Räumen und Menschen.&nbsp;Sie dokumentieren ethnographisch und fotodokumentarisch erschlossene Praktiken und Konstellationen, erkunden die Beobachtungen praxeologisch sowie im Sinne eines neuen Materialismus und ziehen Schlussfolgerungen für den Religionsdiskurs und Fachdebatten.

A new perspective on postwar New York City baseball, including the city's Negro League teams In the golden age of baseball, three Major League Baseball teams in New York City vied for supremacy on the diamond, with the New York Giants, Brooklyn Dodgers, and New York Yankees each winning at least one World Series. Too often overlooked, the Negro Leagues had five teams in the city fighting for primacy in the sport: the Brooklyn Royal Giants, the New York Lincoln Giants, the New York Black Yankees, the New York Cubans, and, albeit very briefly, the Brooklyn Eagles. In The Heyday of Willie, Duke, and Mickey: New York City Baseball's Golden Age Amid Integration, Robert Cottrell highlights a unique period in history when New York City baseball was at its height of dominance, spanning over a decade in postwar America. Cottrell includes detailed coverage of the three years in succession when the Giants, Dodgers, and Yankees won the World Series in the 1950s, featuring star players Willie Mays, Duke Snider, and Mickey Mantle. He also examines the major Black teams of the era, melding the story of New York City baseball with that of the Negro Leagues, Jackie Robinson and the Great Experiment, and the remarkable Black athletes who braved racism and threats to integrate the game. New York City baseball flourished in the postwar years, but its era of dominance wound to a close amid struggles to transform playing fields and America itself. The Heyday of Willie, Duke, and Mickey is a fascinating perspective on the city's teams, players, and integration of the sport.
