"His ability to overcome adversity and pain, even in the face of death, is what makes Grant truly unique." – Edwin Moses, Olympic Gold Medallist
He was told he would never cycle again. But South African ultra-endurance cyclist Grant Lottering doesn’t take no for an answer.
In 2013, Lottering’s heart stopped after a gruesome accident in the Italian Alps. Doctors said he would never ride again. Since then, he has completed many gruelling rides through some of the toughest terrain on the planet. The first South African to complete a solo, non-stop 420-kilometre ultra-endurance ride through the northern French Alps in under 24 hours, Lottering has endured numerous rides previously thought to be impossible, while raising millions for charities.
Grant Lottering is a highly regarded motivational speaker and ambassador for Laureus Sport for Good. His story – proving that the human body can achieve the near impossible if you have the right mindset – is an inspiration to millions.
"Perseverance, resilience and determination personified". – Bryan Habana

In Conspiracy: Legends, David Gardner delves into the world of
celebrity to investigate legendary stories that continue to
fascinate and intrigue to this day. If people famously remember
where they were when JFK was assassinated, many also recall where
they were and what they were doing when Elvis, Princess Diana and
John Lennon died. As for Marilyn Monroe, the candle flickered out
long ago, but only now can the truth be told about how and why she
died. After combing through thousands of recently declassified FBI
files, interviewing key witnesses, crime analysts and forensic
experts during years of research, investigative writer David
Gardner has unearthed new information that will transform the way
we look at these iconic tragedies as well as include new insights
on the conspiracy theories that surround the deaths of Bob Marley,
Kurt Cobain and even the Queen. For the first time, Conspiracy:
Legends provides many of the answers that have been so elusive for
so long, while explaining what it was about these enduring legends
that made them so memorable.
Adolf Hitler was one of six children born to his mother, and one of
eight born to his father from two of his three marriages. Alois
Hitler, né Schicklgruber, was an official of the Austrian customs
service, and the combination of an imperial uniform and a severe
drinking habit seems to have ensured that Hitler's father was a
drunken bully given to beating his children if they were not
instantly obedient. Alois had two children, Alois junior and
Angela, by his second wife, and six by his third, Hitler's mother
Clara, of whom four, all boys, died at birth or in infancy. Young
Adolf was therefore left with a half-brother, Alois, and
half-sister, Angela, and a full sister, Paula, who died in 1960.
When Hitler killed himself in April 1945, all his siblings were
still living and some had children of their own. So, what happened
to them? The answer is that no one was really certain until David
Gardner published this book in 2001, having patiently and
steadfastly tracked down Hitler's living relations to the USA, and
made contact with some of them. Now revised and updated, this is a
fascinating study of a little-known side of Hitler's history, as
well as a riveting account of how the author traced and contacted
the survivors of a bloodline that most of the world probably hoped
had become extinct.

A Lincoln Legacy: The History of the U.S. District Court for the
Western District of Michigan by David Gardner Chardavoyne with Hugh
W. Brenneman, Jr. provides the first and only comprehensive
examination of the history of the United States federal courts in
the Western District of Michigan. The federal courts were
established by the U.S. Constitution to adjudicate disputes
involving federal laws, disputes between litigants from different
states involving state and federal laws, and to punish violations
of criminal laws passed by Congress. During the Civil War, Abraham
Lincoln signed legislation creating two federal districts in the
state of Michigan: the Eastern and Western Districts-the latter of
which is headquartered in Grand Rapids and which now encompasses
the western half of the Lower Peninsula and all of the Upper
Peninsula. With the rapid expansion of legislation passed by
Congress, the increasing mobility of society, and the growth of
interstate commerce, the federal courts have assumed an important
and sometimes dominant role in major litigation today. In A Lincoln
Legacy, Chardavoyne tracks the history of these courts over eleven
chapters, from their creation by the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 to
2020. He discusses the changes in society that drove the evolving
federal litigation and some significant cases heard in the Western
District. Additionally, fifteen appendices are included in the
book, listing of all the federal circuit and district judges in the
Western District; commissioners; magistrate judges and bankruptcy
judges; U.S. Attorneys; clerks of the courts; U.S. Marshals; and
more. Chardavoyne also identifies auxiliary offices and
organizations revolving around the federal court that play a major
role in its activities (e.g., the U.S. Attorney's Office, the
Federal Public Defender's Office, the Federal Bar Association,
etc.). A Lincoln Legacy provides a thorough examination of the
history of the federal courts of Western Michigan. It will appeal
to those learning and practicing law, as well as those with an
interest in Michigan history.
This book examines establishing, maintaining and developing self-access language learning (SALL). While much of the book presents practical ideas dealing with issues related to SALL, they are supported by references to relevant literature and research. This link between theory and practice makes the debate about SALL accessible and makes the book a useful resource for those establishing and running self-access learning facilities, from pre-service teacher trainees to experienced teachers and from managers of self-access centers to administrators.

Investigative journalist David Gardner turns his uncompromising
gaze on the many conspiracy theories connected with the COVID
pandemic. With first-hand reporting and detailed investigations
into the people who originated these COVID theories - some of them
plausible, some driven by an agenda, and some plainly mad - he
answers the questions that everyone has been asking for nearly two
years since the pandemic began, and left us doubting our leaders as
never before. When COVID-19 struck early in 2020, first in China
and inexorably through the rest of the world, it quickly became the
subject of the most virulent outbreak of conspiracy theories we
have ever seen. The pandemic quickly became an infodemic. The
President of the United States championed bleach as a cure, the
Chinese government blamed the Americans, and the American
government blamed the Chinese - a Cold War over a cold virus. David
Icke said that COVID does not exist. People blamed 5G phone
networks, genetically modified crops, Bill Gates, Corona beer,
aliens, bats and pangolins . . . Yet these theorists are not all
the obsessive cultists and paranoid mavericks with whom the
conspiracy-theory label is often associated. They are your parents,
your next-door neighbour, your boss at work. The question marks
over the origins of COVID-19, the dangers of the virus. The world
has been changed for ever by the events of the past two years. It
is crucial that history offers an accurate account of what
happened. This book will play a key role in revealing what - and
what not - to believe.
The time is right to learn what really happened on 9/11. The time
is right to unearth what has been deliberately withheld from the
public. Nearly twenty years ago, on 11 September 2001, four
passenger aircraft were hijacked and flown into the World Trade
Center in New York, the Pentagon near Washington, and a field in
Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Nearly three thousand people were
killed. The narrative in the weeks and months that followed seemed
straightforward: the attacks had been masterminded by al Qaeda
leader, Osama bin Laden, an embittered terrorist with an abiding
hatred of the West. But, as the twenty-year anniversary approaches,
that neat explanation still fails to answer some important
questions surrounding that fateful day. How did World Trade Center
Building 7 - 100 yards from the Twin Towers - collapse so quickly
and symmetrically when it had not been hit? How could two rogue
aircraft bring down three towers? Did the US government help
orchestrate the attacks as an 'inside job'? 9/11: The Conspiracy
Theories seeks the truth - not only of what we do know about 9/11,
but also what has been intentionally hidden from us. Researching
these stories with the help of strong first-person reporting and an
in-depth examination of documentation released under
freedom-of-information protocols, this book sheds new light on one
of history's most tragic and troubling episodes, which shattered
for ever the myth of America as a country immune to international
terrorism.
A collection of 18 pieces on a wide range of topics including
growing up in 1950s Mexico, physical abuse, an emotional encounter
with two paraplegic WWII vets, a forgotten journal, small town life
in North Dakota, a humorous way of compensating for a lack of
drawing ability, and more.

While vacationing in Bermuda, advertising executive Steve Isaacs
learns that his business partner, Robert James, has died in a
horrific accident. However, a few unexpected clues suggest that his

to take to the authorities, Steve and his security consultant, Doug
Harrison, launch their own private investigation, one that reveals
a cover-up at one of their largest clients, a major pharmaceutical
firm. As they follow an intricate trail of murder and deceit, they
