Story
Binaural beats are an auditory phenomenon that occurs when two slightly different frequencies are presented to each ear, creating the perception of a third frequency—a "beat"—within the brain. This beat is not an actual sound but a result of the brain interpreting the difference between the two frequencies. This process can influence brainwave activity, guiding the mind into various states, such as relaxation, focus, or deep sleep.

Story
When Edmund Hillary first conquered Mt. Everest, Sherpa Tenzing Norgay was at his side. Indeed, for as long as Westerners have been climbing the Himalaya, Sherpas have been the unsung heroes in the background. In August 2008, when eleven climbers lost their lives on K2, the world’s most dangerous peak, two Sherpas survived. They had emerged from poverty and political turmoil to become two of the most skillful mountaineers on earth. Based on unprecedented access and interviews, Buried in the Sky reveals their astonishing story for the first time.

In Wildlife Wars, Terry Grosz serves up fascinating stories - alternately hair-raising, hilarious, and heart-wrenching - from his 30-year struggle to protect wildlife in America. A natural storyteller, Grosz writes about the remarkable characters he met - on both sides of the law - as he matched wits with elk poachers, salmon snaggers, commercial-market duck hunters, and a host of other law-breakers. Best of all, though, these stories are so remarkably entertaining you won't want to put them down.

On the playing field, natural talent isn’t enough—there’s a mental component that determines whether athletes win the race or wipe out before the finish line. But what separates standout sports stars from the rest? In a paradigm-shifting new theory, acclaimed sportswriter Matt Fitzgerald identifies two key traits behind athletic success: strict self-regulation over thoughts and emotions and an unquenchable psychological need to pursue victory—even when it means enduring extreme mental and physical suffering.

When Ball Four was published in 1970, it created a firestorm. Bouton was called a Judas, a Benedict Arnold and a “social leper” for having violated the “sanctity of the clubhouse.” Baseball commissioner Bowie Kuhn tried to force Bouton to sign a statement saying the book wasn’t true. Ballplayers, most of whom hadn’t read it, denounced the book. It was even banned by a few libraries. Almost everyone else, however, loved Ball Four.

Empowering Fitness Guide for the Golden Years
As a 35-year-old with an aging mom, I picked up this book to help them stay active and independent. I'm impressed by how well it breaks down strength training for seniors. The exercises are clearly explained and adaptable for different fitness levels, which is perfect for my mom who's hesitant about working out. I appreciate the focus on practical, functional strength that translates to everyday activities. The sections on balance and mobility are particularly valuable, addressing concerns my parents have expressed about falling. While I'm not the target audience, I've found myself incorporating some of the gentler exercises into my own routine on recovery days. The book's tone is encouraging without being patronizing, which my parents appreciate. It's not a miracle cure for aging, but it offers a solid, achievable approach to maintaining strength and independence in later years. A great resource for seniors or anyone looking to help their older loved ones stay active and healthy.

Excellent Tool
Well, this one is certainly worth sharing with our ageing loved ones! It is narrated in an engaging way and the information is on-point. It covers all the basics such as breaking down myths about strength training and explains how and why we must continue to develop muscle mass as we age. This book makes it easy to set up your equipment at home and get started in your own safe space. It is an overall very complete tool that is worth a listen.

Ready to get in shape
Of all the books on strength training, i gravitated to this one because the authors approach matched my current fitness level. I am not a senior, but my poor body is not too happy with me. This book was right up my alley, and I found the exercises to be the right fit. The four-week program is perfect as it is not too long or overwhelming. I highly recommend
