Menschen, die in fruher Kindheit massiv abgelehnt wurden, entwickeln oft eine Borderline-Storung: Ihr Leben ist gespalten. Alles ist entweder schwarz oder wei, gut oder bose es gibt eine Zwischentone. Die Betroffenen verlieren sich im inneren Chaos, ihr aggressives Verhalten zerstort ihre Beziehungen. Anhand des Grimmschen Marchens Hans mein Igel beschreibt Heinz Peter Rohr die wichtigsten Merkmale der Borderline-Storung und zeigt, wie diese psychische Krankheit bewaltigt werden kann.

From tasting his own blood while running hard as a Notre Dame miler to producing the top US marathon legends in the epicenter of the running boom of the 1970s and into the 80s, Bill Squires not only survived being born with a misdiagnosed, potentially fatal, defective heart, but the latedeveloping skinny kid also amassed numerous track records as a collegiate All-American while struggling academically. As the first coach of the groundbreaking Greater Boston Track Club, Bill Squires was the key figure in the creation of the greatest generation of American distance runners. Coaching for years at all levels, it is with this vast accumulation of first-hand knowledge and experience that legendary Olympians and major marathon champions, such as Bill Rodgers, Greg Meyer, Dick Beardsley, wheelchair champ Bob Hall, and more, individually and with the GBTC dominated the landscape and set the pace for future generations via Bills innovative race simulators and group-training techniques that are still used today. Proof of his determination and perseverance appeared early as he survived the physical and emotional childhood trauma and effects of a misdiagnosis that stunted his emotional and physical growth. He continually pushed himself through personal pain in competition and maturation; found his eventual athletic calling as a record-setting runner; and became the highly sought-after benevolent ambassador of running as a coach. Bill Squires is proof that you should never give up.

At the heart of Born to Run lies a mysterious tribe of Mexican Indians, the Tarahumara, who live quietly in canyons and are reputed to be the best distance runners in the world; in 1993, one of them, aged 57, came first in a prestigious 100-mile race wearing a toga and sandals. A small group of the worlds top ultra-runners (and the awe-inspiring author) make the treacherous journey into the canyons to try to learn the tribes secrets and then take them on over a course 50 miles long.With incredible energy and smart observation, McDougall tells this story while asking what the secrets are to being an incredible runner. Travelling to labs at Harvard, Nike, and elsewhere, he comes across an incredible cast of characters, including the woman who recently broke the world record for 100 miles and for her encore ran a 2:50 marathon in a bikini, pausing to down a beer at the 20 mile mark.

Originell, faszinierend, abenteuerlich: ein Journalist auf der Suche nach dem letzten Geheimnis des SportsSeine Passion: das Laufen, sein Beruf: das Schreiben. Christopher McDougall suchte eine Antwort auf eine vermeintlich einfache Frage: Warum tut mir mein Fu weh? Wie er sind Millionen von Hobbylaufern mindestens einmal im Jahr ernsthaft verletzt. Nach unzahligen Zyklen des Dauerschmerzes, der Kortisonspritzen und immer neuer Hightech-Sportschuhen stand McDougall kurz davor, zu kapitulieren und die Diagnose der Mediziner ein fur alle Mal hinzunehmen: "Sie sind einfach nicht zum Laufen gemacht." Stattdessen hat sich der Journalist weit abseits der kostspieligen Empfehlungen von Arzten und Ausrustern auf eine abenteuerliche Reise zu den geheimnisvollsten und besten Laufern der Welt begeben.Eine Reise, die McDougall in die von Mythen erfullten Schluchten der Copper Canyons in Mexiko fuhren sollte, wo ein Volk lebt, das sich seit Jahrhunderten unter extremen Bedingungen seine Lebensweise bewahrt hat. Die Tarahumara verkorpern den menschlichen Bewegungsdrang in seiner reinsten und faszinierendsten Form. Laufen uber lange Strecken ist fur sie so selbstverstandlich wie atmen. Was wussten sie, was McDougall nicht wusste? In seiner Reportage geht er den vergessenen Geheimnissen der Tarahumara nach. Er verbindet lebendiges Infotainment uber neueste evolutionsbiologische und ethnologische Erkenntnisse mit zahlreichen, inspirierenden Portrats von Menschen, die sich egal, ob sie zum Spa das Death Valley durchqueren oder einen Ultramarathon in den Rocky Mountains absolvieren eines bewahrt haben: die Freude daran, laufen zu konnen wie ein Kind. Einfach immer weiter. Denn in Wahrheit, so McDougalls Fazit, sind wir alle zum Laufen geboren.

Reg Fearman is the man who knows all of speedways secrets and is prepared to reveal them. He has taken a unique, full-throttle, white-knuckle ride to the top as an international rider, a world-class team manager, a successful promoter and a formidable administrator. He has never ducked a confrontation, on or off the speedway track; he knows the glamorous and the murky side of a tough, fabulously exciting and sometimes cruel sport, and he spares no ones blushes not even his own- John Chaplin, speedways leading historianFrom humble origins in Londons East End, this is the story of how Reg Fearman became a local hero with West Ham, the cockney giants of speedway, and went on to represent his country, first as a rider at the tender age of 17, and then as an international manager. A captivating mixture of sporting achievement, politics and business and social history, it also looks at how speedway was resurrected from the doldrums of the late 1950s and dragged into a new Jet Age golden era, a time which paved the way for the heights that the sport has enjoyed in the twenty-first century as a global phenomenon. Including a plethora of untold truths, revelations and a rich treasure trove of photographs, Reg lays bare for the first time the sensational inside story of the resurrection of speedway warts and all!- Dr Brian Belton, JP and author

When Mark Boucher played one of his first games of cricket for South Africa, a senior player took him aside and bluntly told him he was the worst wicketkeeper ever to play in the national side. Over a decade later, when Bouch finally retired with a plethora of records under his belt and to huge acclaim from the public, he took grim satisfaction in relating this piece of history. Through my Eyes is the story of a man with remarkable sporting prowess. Born into a sports-mad family in East London, he excelled in squash, tennis and rugby before choosing cricket as his preferred sport. His extraordinary achievements on the field are well known - he was voted SA player of the year in 1998, 2000 and 2006. What is not so well known, and makes up much of this book, are the behind-the-scenes stories and anecdotes. Stories of staring down the barrel of defeat and of celebrating victory; of developing strong bonds with teammates Graeme Smith, Jacques Kallis and others that go way beyond mere friendship. What emerges is the image of a man who always fought for the underdog, whose never-say-die attitude inspires those around him. Bouchs career was brought to a dramatic end on a cricket pitch in England when the bail of a stump punctured his left eye. But, in his own words, I lost sight but gained vision. True to his character of gritty determination, Bouch has rededicated his life to a new cause, that of the environment and particularly the critically endangered rhino.
