“Sort og Hvid Magi” kommer helt tæt på kafferbøfler, Afrikas mest farlige af de berømte fem store. Men bogen indeholder også unikke oplevelser med vandbøfler, bisonokser, moskusokser og vildkvæg, omtalt som Scrub Bulls.I bogen finder man f.eks. en beretning om en ældgammel og tonstung kæmpe og en helt ung bøffeljæger i sit første år som teenager. Et sammenstød, der kostede blod på begge sider ... Det er også beretningen om en ”tæt på død” oplevelse, der på 
dramatisk vis afsluttede en centralafrikansk bøffeljagt. Det er eventyr og drømme om sorte og hvide bøfler. For ikke alle bøfler fødes sorte eller mørke. Omkring en ud af ti millioner afrikanske bøfler kommer til verden som hvide. Det samme hævdes at være tilfældet hos nordamerikansk bison. Her 
betragtes det uhyre sjældne fænomen White Buffalo som varsel om bedre tider, men også som en påmindelse om vores samhørighed med naturen og det guddommelige.Undervejs i bogen præsenteres læseren for de vidt forskellige miljøer, hvor jagterne udspiller sig. Det er ikke kun jagt i sump og regnskov. Det er også bøffeljagt på 
afrikanske, australske og sydamerikanske sletter og på fjeldskråninger helt tæt på indlandsisen. Bogens mange artikler og tilhørende billeder er udvalgt blandt Michael Sands omfattende arkiv, og “Sort og Hvid Magi” er en jagtbog, som også berører flere etiske spørgsmål. Især begrebet jagt bliver vendt og drejet i en række dialoger. Artiklerne er skrevet og illustreret som reportager. De anvendte billeder knytter sig direkte til oplevelserne, og fortællingerne er gengivet uden make-up. De er skrevet umiddelbart efter, de udspillede sig. Bogen er altså ikke baseret på en samling 
”så vidt jeg husker”-beretninger og vilkårlige tilbageblik.Artiklerne er skrevet endnu inden jagtfeberen helt havde lagt sig ...

Behind every pivotal winning moment in sports history lies an equally memorable moment of crushing disappointment.From Hank Aaron's 715th home run, which broke Babe Ruth's record, to Christian Laettner's famous buzzer-beating shot for Duke in the NCAA tournament?every sports fan recalls the winning moments that have shaped sports history. But often forgotten are the stories on the other side of these history-making moments, the athletes who experienced not transcendent glory but crushing failure: the cornerback who couldn't prevent the big touchdown; the baseball manager whose team was one strike away from World Series victory; the world-record-holding Olympian who fell on the ice. And while history is written by the victors, even the losers have lessons to teach us.In Losing Isn't Everything, famed sportscaster Curt Menefee, joined by bestselling writer Michael Arkush, examines some of the biggest ?disappointments? from the wide world of sports, interviewing the athletes and personalities at the heart of each loss and uncovering what it means to be associated with failure?months, years, or decades later. Telling the losing stories behind such famous moments as the ?helmet catch? in Super Bowl XLII, with the Patriots' Rodney Harrison defending the Giants' David Tyree; Mary Decker's fall in the 3,000 meters at the 1984 Olympics; and Craig Ehlo's giving up ?The Shot? to Michael Jordan in the 1989 NBA playoffs, Menefee examines the legacy of the hardest losses, revealing the unique path that athletes have to walk after they flop on their sports' biggest stages. Shedding new light on some of the most recognizable scapegoat stories in the sports canon, he also revisits both the Baltimore Colts' loss in Super Bowl III, as well as the Red Sox' loss in the 1986 World Series, showing why, despite Bill Buckner's years of humiliation, it might not have all been his fault.What emerges is a powerful portrait of the grit and resolve required to bounce back from the hardest losses. Illustrated with sixteen pages of color photos, this considered and compassionate study offers invaluable lessons about pain, resilience, disappointment, remorse, and acceptance that can help us look at our lives, our mistakes, and ourselves in a profound new way.

The "King of Archery," "The World's Greatest Archer," "One-Shot," all names referring to Howard Hill -the champion of the longbow. No matter the title, Howard Hill was legendary, and his success led to the promotion of traditional archery and a surge of interest in the American Semi-Longbow.Howard Hill viewed the longbow as the most perfect hunting weapon. His modification of the English longbow to suit his needs, became the American Semi-Longbow. The American Semi-Longbow is synonymous with a Hill-style longbow -the bow that led him in his success.Today there are many versions of the American Semi-Longbow. In a quest to find the features that Howard Hill demanded in his own bows, a weapon that he perfected, was the impetus of this study. We can identify his standards by how his bows were built, what he insisted on in his own line of bows offered to the public, and what he taught to the bowyers employed by him. By examining Howard's original bows and following the progression of design until he perfected this weapon, we understand the qualities necessary in a Hill-style longbow. If you would like to know more about the equipment and the bow that led to his success, then you will enjoy this book.Metadata may include Howard Hill, John Schulz, Traditional Archery, Bamboo Bows, Stick Bows, Self Bows, ASL, Hill-Style Longbow, Archery Hunting, Archery History in America, Hunting with the Bow and Arrow, and Hunting the Hard Way.

J.W. Dunne's Sunshine and the Dry Fly is one of the great classics of fly-fishing. First published in 1924, it was written as much to engage and enthuse as to inform, and it succeeded.

It includes a number of lost and hard-to-find treasures, not least two short but lyrical essays aimed at the beginner, recipes for four more dry flies which he had intended for the second edition but mislaid, more complete detail on his fly-dressing materials and three unique archive images.
