| Blood Over Water by David and James Livingston A compelling account of the 2003 University Boat Race in which the Livingstons famously rowed head-to-head in what was the closest, and many say, best Boat Race of all time. It was won, or lost, (depending which brother you are), by less than a foot. It's a story about brotherly rivalry – they were the first brothers to race against one-another in the competition in over 100 years – and about the terrific toll that the Boat Race can take on its participants. Both brothers were also Hampton boys! |

| Strong to the Core: Get on the Ball for a Strong, Lean Physique by Lisa Westlake Using an exercise ball for strength and fitness may be a relatively new concept, but it is not just another fitness fad. The ball has been used extensively in rehabilitation and physiotherapy for more than 30 years. It is now popular in gyms, for personal training and for home programmes. Sporting clubs and trainers recognize its value for injury prevention, sport-specific taining and improved athletic performance. Basic exercise ball principles, combined with strength conditioning, provide a good workout, arguably better than other more expensive, cumbersome or complicated routines and equipment. This book is a comprehensive guide to working out with an exercise ball. It provides effective exercise techniques for strength training, back health and injury prevention. This book is for those seeking muscle tone and definition but who also want a stronger, healthier, injury-free body. With easy to follow instructions and clear photographs demonstrating how to carry out the exercises, this book provides everything you need to know about getting the most out of your exercise ball. |

| A Lifetime in a Race by Matthew Pinsent With his last-gasp victory as part of the Great British coxless four team at the Athens Olympics, Matthew Pinsent clinched his an historic fourth Olympic Gold to add to the three already won with his legendary rowing partner Steve Redgrave. In a uniquely exciting and evocative autobiography Pinsent interweaves the build-up to Athens 2004 with the extraordinary story of his career and unforgettable partnership with Redgrave. Plucked from obscurity at the age of 20, told to partner his hero, and trained to within an inch of his life, Pinsent's story is uniquely revealing about what it takes to be a champion and the mixed blessings of success. Culminating with a nail-biting final chapter detailing the team's extraordinary victory in Athens in blow-by-blow detail, A Lifetime in a Race is a sports book in a different mould. |
