Book Description
Fast bowling is a cricketing skill that now, more than ever, requires a mix of brains and brawn. Twenty20 cricket has resulted in fast bowlers being cannon-fodder for many batsmen. Batsmen are now dominating and are becoming more inventive, as cricket evolves into a game where high scores are the norm and bowlers are almost anonymous. Bigger bats, smaller grounds, flatter pitches and fielding restrictions all point towards one thing: runs. But, it's time for the fast bowler to fight back. In "How to Bowl Faster...and take more wickets" former international cricketer Paul Hoffmann provides a thorough guide to bowling that will help speedsters of all ages take back control. Hoffmann looks in depth at how bowlers can add pace, pinpointing specific physical drills and activities to help achieve this. He also goes into great detail about the technical side of the skill, such as the run-up, delivery, grip, field placements and tactics. This book of nearly 50 chapters is a fresh take on an old, proud and prestigious sporting art, with input from coaches such as Trent Woodhill, as well as advice from current and former international cricketing stars such as: Dougie Brown, Bob Cottam, Gavin Hamilton, Ed Cowan, John Blain, Yasir Arafat, Kyle Coetzer, Calum MacLeod, Sikandar Raza, Shane Burger and George Munsey. Hoffmann also recounts hilarious anecdotes from his time on and off the cricket pitch, and tells the real story behind his infamous 2007 shoulder barge.

Book Description
"Why did I leave the 10-pin on that shot?" "Why isn't my ball hitting the pocket anymore?" "Should I change balls, or move?" "How heavy should my ball be?" "What's the best bowling ball?" "How do I get more hook?" "Why do I keep missing my spares?" Bowlers are faced with endless questions, problems, and choices every time we bowl. Answers and solutions abound, but a great many of them are ineffective or just plain wrong. How do we know what to do? How do we know what to believe? In this book we examine: What doesn't work, and what bowlers have wrong. What's really happening on the lanes, and how things really work. What you need to change to get back to striking. How to properly make that change. We teach you how to figure out exactly what's wrong with your shot. We show you all of the adjustments available to you, teach you what each one actually does, and show you how and when to apply it. We give you strategies that will improve your lane play and your decision making. Finally, we teach you a mathematically sound spare system that will simplify your game and make picking up your spares an easy proposition. We give you all of the knowledge and tools you need to take your game to the next level and become the bowler you want to be.

Book Description
Updated to include a new chapter about the influence of social media and the Internet—the 20th anniversary edition of Bowling Alone remains a seminal work of social analysis, and its examination of what happened to our sense of community remains more relevant than ever in today’s fractured America. Twenty years, ago, Robert D. Putnam made a seemingly simple observation: once we bowled in leagues, usually after work; but no longer. This seemingly small phenomenon symbolized a significant social change that became the basis of the acclaimed bestseller, Bowling Alone, which The Washington Post called “a very important book” and Putnam, “the de Tocqueville of our generation.” Bowling Alone surveyed in detail Americans’ changing behavior over the decades, showing how we had become increasingly disconnected from family, friends, neighbors, and social structures, whether it’s with the PTA, church, clubs, political parties, or bowling leagues. In the revised edition of his classic work, Putnam shows how our shrinking access to the “social capital” that is the reward of communal activity and community sharing still poses a serious threat to our civic and personal health, and how these consequences have a new resonance for our divided country today. He includes critical new material on the pervasive influence of social media and the internet, which has introduced previously unthinkable opportunities for social connection—as well as unprecedented levels of alienation and isolation. At the time of its publication, Putnam’s then-groundbreaking work showed how social bonds are the most powerful predictor of life satisfaction, and how the loss of social capital is felt in critical ways, acting as a strong predictor of crime rates and other measures of neighborhood quality of life, and affecting our health in other ways. While the ways in which we connect, or become disconnected, have changed over the decades, his central argument remains as powerful and urgent as ever: mending our frayed social capital is key to preserving the very fabric of our society.
