Hans van Dijk and Ron van Megen have been fans of running power meters for years. They are internationally known for their books on the subject. Koen de Jong thought that running on power and the books by Hans and Ron were just complicated stuff and didn't want to know anything about it. Now Koen has changed his mind too. Power meters are revolutionizing running and have tremendous potential for understanding and improving performance. More and more runners are opting for racing and training with wattage instead of heart rate or pace. In this book Hans, Ron and Koen explain clearly the advantages of running on power. And most importantly, it is very simple and brings peace of mind to your training. The Power to Run is in three parts: what's in it for you, backgrounds and practical tips and cases.

Powerful, riveting, real. Sixteen celebrated authors bring us raw, insightful stories that explore guns and teens in a fiction collection that is thought provoking and emotionally gripping. For fans of Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock and Give a Boy a Gun, and with an array of YA talent like the late great Walter Dean Myers, the poetic Joyce Carol Oates, the prophetic Elizabeth Wein, and the gritty Chris Crutcher, these are evocative voices that each has a different perspective to give. Capturing the hurt and the healing, victims and perpetrators, these stories get to the heart of the matter. From a boy whose low self-esteem is impacted when a gun comes into his possession to a student recalling a senseless tragedy that befell a favorite teacher, from a realistic look at hunting to a provocative look at a family that defies stereotypes, each emotional story stirs the debate to new levels. The juxtaposition of guns and their consequences offers moving tales, each a reminder of how crucial the question of guns in our society is, and the impact they have on all of us. Other acclaimed contributors are Marc Aronson, Edward Averett, Francesca Lia Block, Alex Flinn, Gregory Galloway, Jenny Hubbard, Peter Johnson, Ron Koertge, Chris Lynch, Eric Shanower, Will Weaver, and Tim Wynne-Jones.

Because of a differing of political beliefs Australia has become divided into two countries, to the south consisting of New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania is now Greater Australia and the rest Queensland, Western Australia and The Northern Territory is now Northern Australia. The north is prosperous while the south because of its devotion to the over encouragement of doubtful environmental theories and the near impossible to administer form of government is falling further and further into debt and dissolution. One or Ron Smith as he is now known is the first refugee from the south to arrive in the north where he is slowly learning that country's way of life and fitting in mostly to his finding the love of his now fianc e Professor Gwen Carstairs and the mixing with her friends. In the west of New South Wales there is an area which Greater Australia has bequeathed to First Nation People to live in and resume their traditional lifestyle, because of the removal of all white people benefits and improvements these people at first great suffer and endure many deaths because of their difficulties to reintroduce themselves to their ancestors form of living. Those who do are now living in under near stone-age conditions. They have become known as The Wildmen. The north has gained approval from the United Nations and limited approval from the south to send an expedition to these people to assist them and study their way of life. This has been organized by Carmody Ellis a brilliant person within the northern public service and in doing so has gathered up just about all the best in their fields to form the personnel in the expedition. Because Ron lived with the Wildmen in his trip to the north and knows their ways he is included along with Gwen. All is now prepared and the Expedition is ready to depart.

The star of TruTV's hit show, Lizard Lick Towing, shares stories of life as a small-town repo man, as well as the "Ron-isms" and "Ron-osophy" he is known for. Crazier than a sack of rabid weasels? Country as cornflakes? Gooder than grits? You bet he is Week after week, millions of viewers tune in to Lizard Lick Towing to watch Ron Shirley outsmart the fist-swinging, gun-toting folks whose vehicles he's been hired to repossess. Staring danger in the face, Ron disarms them not with his size or his strength but with his wit--and especially with his trademark funny sayings that have come to be known as "Ronisms." In Lizard Tales, Ron takes readers on a side-splitting trip through his wacky, colorful life. Growing up and raising heck in the Carolina countryside--where sushi is still called "bait"--young Ronnie was known to gig frogs, mooch moonshine from his pops, hunt, and cruise the strip in Myrtle Beach. He continues to get himself into hilarious scrapes and jams as an adult by tarring a roof during a lightning storm, inviting an angry deer onto his cousin's brand-new boat, drinking (and fist-fighting) with a priest, matching wits with his wife, Amy, and running repo with his sidekicks at the towing company. So kick back, help yourself to some 'shine (if you got it), let Ron tell you some stories, and prepare yourself to get licked
