Download or read book The Strong Man written by Grant Edwards and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2019-07-22 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A powerful story of life under fire and one man's journey back from the brink Grant Edwards was once an elite athlete, Olympics qualifier and Australia’s strongest man. His Guinness Book of Records feats of strength were acclaimed internationally, and as a high ranking police officer he spent decades protecting vulnerable people around the world. But nothing could shield him from catastrophic harm in the line of duty. Rising above his tough beginnings in 1970s suburbia, where he was bullied for his father’s decision to live as a gay man, Edwards found sanctuary in sport. But he found his true calling with the Australian Federal Police, rising swiftly through the ranks to Commander and personally establishing cybercrime units to fight child exploitation and human trafficking. A highly sought after and disciplined security advisor for governments around the world such as East Timor, Afghanistan and the Americas, Edwards was considered the last person to ‘crack’ – but a narrow escape from a deadly attack in Kabul pushed him to breaking point. This is the story of an extraordinary man and his extraordinary battle back from the brink.
Download or read book The Strongmen written by Hans Kribbe and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2020-10-22 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seven decades after the liberation of Europe, the strongmen of global politics are back, dominating not only the headlines but international relations, the global economy, and the world's security. The strongman has a style and strategy of leadership that is anathema to the liberal democratic norms and practices of Europe. He (it is always he) challenges principles of consensus and collaboration, willingly tears up trade agreements, invades territory, and seeks to provoke and disrupt the status quo in order to achieve advantage. Such behaviour confounds and frustrates his counterparts abroad and yet, as this book shows, it can be anticipated, even understood, offering hope for dealing with and neutralizing it. Hans Kribbe draws on a range of political ideas to provide insight into the strongman's seemingly irrational and idiosyncratic behaviour and to better understand how he wields power and to what end. With the world's largest economies, including Europe's key ally, as well as strategic neighbouring states controlled by strongmen - Xi Jinping, Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and Recep Tayyip Erdogan - Europe must learn to adapt and respond if it is to beat them at their own game.

Book Synopsis The Strongest Men on Earth by : Graeme Kent
Download or read book The Strongest Men on Earth written by Graeme Kent and published by Biteback Publishing. This book was released on 2012-10-03 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They claimed to be the mightiest men in the world. For twenty-five years, before the outbreak of the First World War, professional strongmen were the pop idols of their day. Performing apparently incredible feats of strength, they strutted across stages and topped the bills everywhere, earning thousands of pounds a week. Fans included royalty, heads of state, politicians and leading figures in the literary and artistic worlds, as well as hundreds of thousands of ordinary men and women, all revelling in the antics of these larger-than-life characters. Seeking to outdo each other in death-defying deeds, the strongmen's performances were thrilling and dangerous: lifting elephants, horses, pianos and their players; breaking chains with their biceps; supporting thirty men on a plank suspended on their shoulders. Some strongmen succeeded beyond their wildest dreams. Eugen Sandow, a great self-publicist, was appointed physical culture adviser to King George V. His great rival, the bombastic Charles Sampson, toured the world with his blatant cheating and rigged strongman displays until one day the elephant he claimed to be lifting remained suspended in mid-air. Georg Hackenschmidt, the Russian Lion, was so popular that Theodore Roosevelt himself declared wistfully that he would rather be 'Hack' than President of the USA. In The Strongest Men on Earth, Graeme Kent vividly brings to life the world of strongmen (and women), and shares the stories that defined a sporting and show-business era.
Book Synopsis Strongman Contest by : Steven M. Smith
Download or read book Strongman Contest written by Steven M. Smith and published by Kelsay Books. This book was released on 2021-10-13 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has been said we spend all our lives recovering from childhood. Moment by accessible moment, the reader is challenged to reconcile their own growing pains. These poems shine a light on disenfranchised and desperate parents, the ghost of nonage, and layers of one family's coming apart. Mostly, there is no judgement. If it's possible to stop the sins of the father, Smith has done so by becoming a parent with understanding and remembrance. He works to make it right. In Strongman Contest we read what human beings rarely have the audacity to say, let alone leave a trail of poems that ache with truth. Stellasue Lee, author of Queen of Jacks Steven M. Smith's Strongman Contest is a book of fathers and sons, of mothers and wives, of Limburger and onion on paper plates, of violence and redemption. Prepare yourself for an electrifying journey as the speaker navigates his father's rage, risky teenage games, lakes of beer and thunderclouds of cigarette smoke, and his own marriage and parenthood making a home amidst "sugar maples and kneeling weeds." Stand by him as he flinches beside his father who's just shotgunned the family photo album to bits, as he waits with his rake "to gather up the leaves, / the dead pictures, [his] father's empty shell." Recognize the boy in the man as his imagination continues to transform the details of his life into clarity, into magic, as he resists turning into his father, as he bequeaths tenderness upon his own son, as he transmutes life's "barking / Doberman into a white dove." Christopher Citro, author of If We Had a Lemon We'd Throw It and Call That the Sun Family tensions and the enduring poignancy of those relationships are evoked in Strongman Contest. A boy's complicated love for his father is central; that love is tinged with confusion, competition, and even fear. Steven M. Smith's imagery stands out when the boy goes bowling with his dad, catches him with other women, finds him drunk yet again, or is belted by him. The odds might seem stacked against these fallible humans, but what ultimately resonates is empathy and resilience as one generation burdens and enlightens the next.

Book Synopsis The Patriot's Creed by : Kris Paronto
Download or read book The Patriot's Creed written by Kris Paronto and published by Center Street. This book was released on 2019-10-22 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Army Ranger and bestselling author Kris Paronto reveals the values and creed shared by special forces for self-improvement and living a purposeful life. When Kris Paronto began talking with civilians about his experiences fighting the terrorist attack on the US State Department Special Mission Compound in Benghazi, Libya on September 11, 2012, he was surprised at how often people told him that the story of his extraordinary battle gave them courage to face tough times in their everyday lives. "The odds were stacked against us that night but the truth is that we refused to quit and we beat them with faith, teamwork, and the principles that were first instilled in me when I joined the Army. You can find those in the Rangers Creed and the Army Values," he says, "and you don't have to be a Special Operations soldier to use them." In The Patriot's Creed, Kris Paronto uses the seven core Army Values that all soldiers learn in Basic Combat Training, and the experiences of other servicemen and women and First Responders, to explain how anyone can improve themselves, the world around them, and live a heroic life. The stakes are dramatic for the brave men and women who put their lives on the line to fight for America, and too many of their acts of courage and honor are unknown. The examples of their persistence and discipline will be inspiring to anyone facing seemingly insurmountable obstacles. At a time of national polarization, Kris Paronto draws attention to values all readers can share and use, and to the honor, integrity and courage of true patriots who have gone to great lengths to protect and serve. They embody the best of us and make Kris Paronto proud to be an American soldier.
Download or read book Secrets of Giants written by Alyssa Ages and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2023-10-03 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A deep dive into the science and psychology of why pushing our physical limits is so impactful—and how we can achieve so much more than we know. Everyone wants to know if they could do the impossible. Few of us will ever try. Alyssa Ages was the strongest she’d ever been, able to flip monster truck tires and walk with 300 pounds on her back. She felt invincible, until the day her body betrayed her, leaving her vulnerable and grasping for control. Rebuilding her strength slowly brought her back to life. She began to wonder: What if strength isn't about how much we can lift? What if it's about how we manage life’s struggles? In Secrets of Giants, Ages, now a mom of two, embarks on an immersive journey to the fringe of the weight-lifting world, the sport of strongman. She hoists kegs and lifts boulders in suburban parking lots, attempts to pull a 50-ton truck using only a rope, and occasionally frightens her neighbors by dragging a sled full of weights down her quiet tree-lined street. She meets a powerlifter-turned-boxer who shares how lifting taught her to become a master of the mundane. A ten-time World’s Strongest Man competitor is brought to tears illustrating how the gym helped him survive an abusive childhood. A pro strongwoman muses on managing setbacks before stepping on stage to deadlift the weight of a baby grand piano. Psychologists, researchers, and coaches offer insights into the fascinating ways that the pursuit of strength can permeate every aspect of our lives, from building resilience and confidence, to finding joy in discomfort, to teaching us to handle adversity. Part personal narrative, part research mission, part reckless midlife crisis odyssey, Secrets of Giants uncovers why physical strength matters, and how it teaches us that we’re capable of so much more than we know.
