Book Description
I have run one hundred marathons. I am the first Australian female to do so. I want to share my experiences with you. I want you to see what it has been like to compete in more than seventy locations all over the world, including many in Australia, over a thirteen year period. More people have climbed Mount Everest or swum the English Channel than have run a hundred marathons. It has been a major achievement to run this big distance, under race conditions, over and over again. Yet I am not blessed with a special athletic talent. I did not play sports as a child. I came into running relatively late in life and ran my first marathon the year I turned forty.

Book Description
This book will show you the best way to have a long-distance relationship, thereby providing you with the right guide to overcome some LDR issues. The easy to follow tips and guidelines stated in this book will help your long distance relationship not just survive the huge gap, they'll additionally help you establish a solid framework for a relationship that is fun, satisfying and fruitful! This book is a guide that covers many aspects of a long distance relationship. It takes a look at how long distance relationships are born, dangers to watch out for, how to keep the flame alive while separated, building communication and trust, battling fighting and jealousy, relocating and immigration issues, and starting a family with your long distance partner. So how should you spend your valuable time? 1) Read snippets of advice on the internet? 2) Keep doing what you’re doing with no measurable change? 3) Go through more stress and strain and still not see a clear difference? None of these options will get you to where you need to be, although they are some alternatives. The most powerful option is learning the basics of making your relationship grow and get even closer via the phone and other modes of communication. This book was written because I found myself in the same place as you. Perhaps you are looking at the book for a friend or a relative who fears their relationship is falling apart. Whatever the reason, the advice given has been tried and tested and works. The book is also split into separate topics to help you to find all of the advice that you need so that your relationship can survive that distance that life puts between you as a couple. If you truly believe that your partner is “the one” and that he touches your heart like no one else, be strong and do not let the distance between you interfere with what the end result could be. Don’t fear your long distance relationship. Embrace it! This gem of a book will show you how.

Book Description
In one of his most ambitious physical efforts to date, Dean Karnazes attempted to run 50 marathons, in 50 states, in 50 days to raise awareness of youth obesity and urge Americans of all fitness levels to "take that next step." "UltraMarathon Man: 50 Marathons - 50 States - 50 Days", a Journeyfilm documentary, follows Dean’s incredible step-by-step journey across the country. Ultrarunning legend Dean Karnazes has run 262 miles-the equivalent of ten marathons-without rest. He has run over mountains, across Death Valley, and to the South Pole-and is probably the first person to eat an entire pizza while running. With an insight, candor, and humor rarely seen in sports memoirs (and written without the aid of a ghostwriter or cowriter), Ultramarathon Man has inspired tens of thousands of people-nonrunners and runners alike-to push themselves beyond their comfort zones and be reminded of "what it feels like to be truly alive," says Sam Fussell, author of Muscle. Ultramarathon Man answers the questions Karnazes is continually asked: - Why do you do it? - How do you do it? - Are you insane? And in the new paperback edition, Karnazes answers the two questions he was most asked on his book tour: - What, exactly, do you eat? - How do you train to stay in such good shape?

Book Description
I wanted to be a distance god. There. I said it. I would've broken out of the lead pack and surged away, thrown down some impossible splits, devastated the elites as I stretched my lead, merciless, alone...almost floating. The field would've strung out and withered behind me as I burned and buried the best runners on the face of the planet. I would've become immortal. Was that too much to ask? See, running consumed me—sometimes like love, sometimes like cancer.

Book Description
In July 2006, a major international conference was held at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, Canada, to celebrate the career and work of a remarkable man of letters. Abner Shimony, who is well known for his pioneering contributions to foundations of quantum mechanics, is a physicist as well as a philosopher, and is highly respected among the intellectuals of both communities. In line with Shimony’s conviction that philosophical investigation is not to be divorced from theoretical and empirical work in the sciences, the conference brought together leading theoretical physicists, experimentalists, as well as philosophers. This book collects twenty-three original essays stemming from the conference, on topics including history and methodology of science, Bell's theorem, probability theory, the uncertainty principle, stochastic modifications of quantum mechanics, and relativity theory. It ends with a transcript of a fascinating discussion between Lee Smolin and Shimony, ranging over the entire spectrum of Shimony's wide-ranging contributions to philosophy, science, and philosophy of science.
