Story
In Wildlife Wars, Terry Grosz serves up fascinating stories - alternately hair-raising, hilarious, and heart-wrenching - from his 30-year struggle to protect wildlife in America. A natural storyteller, Grosz writes about the remarkable characters he met - on both sides of the law - as he matched wits with elk poachers, salmon snaggers, commercial-market duck hunters, and a host of other law-breakers. Best of all, though, these stories are so remarkably entertaining you won't want to put them down.

They had emerged from poverty and political turmoil to become two of the most skillful mountaineers on earth. Based on unprecedented access and interviews, Buried in the Sky reveals their astonishing story for the first time.

Story
When Ball Four was published in 1970, it created a firestorm. Bouton was called a Judas, a Benedict Arnold and a “social leper” for having violated the “sanctity of the clubhouse.” Baseball commissioner Bowie Kuhn tried to force Bouton to sign a statement saying the book wasn’t true. Ballplayers, most of whom hadn’t read it, denounced the book. It was even banned by a few libraries. Almost everyone else, however, loved Ball Four.

Many poker players can make good decisions at the table with a reasonable frequency. Nevertheless, there are numerous situations where even very experienced players behave in predictable ways. These deeply-ingrained habits lead them to make mistakes. The problem is that these situations won't often arise at the table by chance - you have to make them happen. Exploitative Play in Live Poker is a ground-breaking work that teaches you how to create the circumstances where your opponents will be likely to blunder and how to exploit them when they do.

Admittedly, I knew nothing about pickleball before this! I kept hearing people talk about it and wanted to see what the hype was about. This audiobook made it really easy to understand with just the right amount of information. It goes over the basics, rules, and strategies, which was super helpful since I had no clue where to start. Very interesting and I actually feel like I'm ready to give it a try. Definitely worth the listen!

A Perfect Guide for Pickleball Beginners
Starting pickleball felt overwhelming at first, but having clear explanations of the rules and strategies made a huge difference. The breakdown of court positioning, serving techniques, and shot selection was easy to follow and practical. I especially liked the fitness tips, which helped me avoid soreness after my first few games. The way it explains common beginner mistakes and how to correct them was incredibly helpful. Now, I feel much more confident stepping onto the court, and I’ve even been able to keep up with more experienced players. A great resource for anyone new to the game!
