The rhythmic lullaby of 'North Utsire, South Utsire' has been lulling the nation's insomniacs to sleep for over 90 years. It has inspired songs, poetry and imaginations across the globe - as well as providing a very real service for the nation's seafarers who might fall prey to storms and gales. In 1995, a plan to move the late-night broadcast by just 12 minutes caused a national outcry and was ultimately scrapped. Published with Radio 4 and the Met Office, The Shipping Forecast is the official miscellany for seafarers and armchair travellers alike. From the places themselves - how they got their names, what's happened there through the ages - to the poems and parodies that it's inspired, this is a beautifully evocative tribute to one of Britain's - and Radio 4's - best-loved broadcasts.

America's pioneer in athletic water rehab has her first book back in print after 40 years! Author Lynda Huey didn't think about it at the time, but her book was the first fitness book in America to feature African American sports models such as basketball legend Wilt Chamberlain, Olympic gold medalist Evelyn Ashford, NFL player Bernie Casey, and Olympic silver and broze medalist Kim Gallagher. Huey simply asked her athletic friends to be in her book, which contains beautiful photos to accompany the instructions to 100 exercises for pool, hot tub, shower, and bath tub. Chapter titles include: Water Magic, Shower Exercises, Water Stretch, The Basic Waterpower Workout, Eight Tips for Improved Waterpower, Sport-Specific Training, Water Rehabilitation, Arthritis Water Therapy, Prenatal Waterpower, The Hot Tub Workout.
