Candid interviews with over forty former British athletics stars, including Olympians, provide a unique glimpse into the sport's amateur era from the 1920s to the 1970s. The book features memories from notable figures like Sydney Wooderson and Sir Chris Chataway, capturing their experiences and reflections on the evolution of athletics. As many of these interviews are their last published accounts, the collection serves as a valuable historical record, enriched by illustrations and a comprehensive index, alongside an introduction and afterword by David Thurlow.

This is the first practical guide to traveling overland across Russia and Central Asia -- for many a dream trip that has, until now, been almost impossible to plan. The authors have completed this journey twice and have packed this guide with tips and advice -- including choosing the proper vehicle, getting to your starting point, bureaucracy and finance, and suggested routes. The practicalities of fuel, repair shops, health care, safety, and shopping for supplies are detailed, along with accommodations and restaurants along the way. Includes Russia, Mongolia, Kazakstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan.
