Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 145
Book Description
Mental training is scarcely covered in the climbing literature, yet it is as important to performance as strength, flexibility, and technique. In his unique approach to mental training, Arno Ilgner draws essential elements from the rich "warrior" literature, as well as from sports psychology, and combines these with his extensive climbing experience to create The Rock Warrior?s Way.Here is a comprehensive program for learning how to focus your mental resources during a challenging climb. It includes step-by-step guidance on motivation analysis, information gathering, risk assessment, mental focus, and deliberate transition into action.Poor use of attention creates fear, which can manifest itself as anything from performance anxiety to sheer terror. By using attention more purposefully we can understand how fear is created, deal with it effectively, and free ourselves to get back in touch with a far more powerful motivating force: our love of climbing. We can then create the kind of unbending intention that leads to outstanding performance. The Rock Warrior?s Way is a revolutionary program for climbers who want to improve both their performance and their enjoyment of climbing.

Rise of the Warrior Cop
Author: Radley Balko
Publisher: PublicAffairs
ISBN: 1541700287
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 497
Book Description
This groundbreaking history of how American police forces have been militarized is now revised and updated. Newly added material brings the story through 2020, including analysis of the Ferguson protests, the Obama and Trump administrations, and the George Floyd protests. The last days of colonialism taught America’s revolutionaries that soldiers in the streets bring conflict and tyranny. As a result, our country has generally worked to keep the military out of law enforcement. But over the last two centuries, America’s cops have increasingly come to resemble ground troops. The consequences have been dire: the home is no longer a place of sanctuary, the Fourth Amendment has been gutted, and police today have been conditioned to see the citizens they serve as enemies. In Rise of the Warrior Cop, Balko shows how politicians’ ill-considered policies and relentless declarations of war against vague enemies like crime, drugs, and terror have blurred the distinction between cop and soldier. His fascinating, frightening narrative that spans from America’s earliest days through today shows how a creeping battlefield mentality has isolated and alienated American police officers and put them on a collision course with the values of a free society.

Book Description
After saving Ayya in their first challenge instated multiverse-wide by the Dark One, Zreyas Rittak and the Visages celebrate their success. Celebrations are short-lived when Zreyas and Rhom find out about some visage deceptions causing a clash of wills. Zreyas strikes out on his own with no means of transportation to Earth, many Universes away with no modern technology, away from what little technology has learned and still doesn’t understand, and on foot, only to find out the Dark One uses the quantum to cheat in the challenge. As the Dark One unleashes a new weapon from a demon dimension, Zreyas walks right into the den of danger. He knows he must sabotage the Janquar to weaken the Dark One’s effort in the multiverse challenge in order to keep Ayya safe and keep all of existence from blinking out. But Visage Rhom is in trouble and has another problem that needs Zreyas’s help, and it places Zreyas in a difficult position. Burdened by the weight of his Janquar past, Zreyas wants to refuse, but if he does, all might be lost. Can he work through those dark demons in his mind and take on this new role? Will he be able to juggle both problems at once and still sabotage the Dark One’s efforts? NAGODARA is what ishKiia Paige lovingly calls Transformational Science Fiction Fantasy, where you can have fun and take your life to the next level without feeling like you are learning.
