Bestselling author and award-winning adventurer Ross Edgley has been studying the art of resilience for years, applying all he has learned to become the first person in history to swim around Great Britain, breaking multiple world records. Now Ross focuses on mental strength, stoicism and the training needed to create an unbreakable body.

Ross Edgley famously ran a marathon pulling a 1.4-tonne car and climbed a rope the height of Everest (8,848m), after living with Yamabushi warrior monks in Japan and partaking in Shamanic pain rituals with fire ants in the Amazon jungle. On his epic 1,780-mile journey around Great Britain, which lasted 157 days, Ross swam through giant jellyfish, arctic storms, 'haunted' whirlpools and polluted shipping lanes, going so hard, and so fast, his tongue fell apart.

Ross's previous book, The World's Fittest Book, was a Sunday Times bestseller and explored the science of physical fitness. Now, in The Art of Resilience, Ross uses his swim experience and other amazing endurance feats, where he managed to overcome seemingly insurmountable pain, hardship and adversity, to study the performance of extreme athletes, military and fitness specialists and psychologists to uncover the secrets of mental fitness and explore the concept of resilience, persistence, valour and a disciplined mindset in overcoming adversity. This ground-breaking book represents a paradigm shift in what we thought the human body and mind were capable of and will give you a blueprint to become a tougher, more resilient and ultimately better human—whatever the challenge you face. 9780008356958

"This book contains beneficial points that can help us achieve one important dream in our lives - Happiness"

This book shows that Islam offers practical propositions for meaningful and positive living that all humans can relate to. These are principles that echo in their own nature.

In his book "The Biggest Prison on Earth," Ilan Pappe, an Israeli historian, argues that the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories since 1967 constitutes a large-scale settler colonial project. He criticizes traditional narratives that portray the conflict as a "clash of civilizations" or a territorial dispute, instead focusing on the systematic control and dispossession of the Palestinian people.

Overall, Ilan Pappe's book offers a critical and challenging perspective on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, arguing that the occupation is not a temporary situation but a deliberate and long-term project of settler colonialism. He calls for a shift in discourse and proposes a new approach based on international law, human rights, and Palestinian self-determination. 9781786073419
