Deep underwater lurks a mysterious man-made illness. It has gone by many names over the years Satans disease, divers palsy, the chokes but today, medics call it decompression sickness. You know it as the bends.In the winter of 2012, British diver Martin Robson joined an expedition to southern Russia which sought to find a submerged cave system never seen by the human eye. On their final day, as Robson attempted to surface after reaching a record depth in the Blue Lake, disaster struck: just seventy-five feet down, he was ambushed by the bends. Forced to gamble on an underwater practice most doctors believe is a suicidal act, he sank back into the water. Soon, his only hope for survival was a dramatic mercy mission organised at the highest levels of the Russian government. Between the Devil and the Deep is the first book to tell the terrifying true story of what it feels like to get the bends, taking you inside the body and mind of a man who suffered the unthinkable. Writer Mark Cowan also explores the fascinating history of decompression sickness, the science behind what causes the disease, and the stories of the forgotten divers who pushed the limits of physical endurance to help find a solution.

The Complete Golfer distills Harry Vardons championship craft into a lucid, methodical treatise on grip, stance, swing mechanics, and the subtle arts of approach play and putting. Written in poised Edwardian prosetechnical yet companionableit interleaves precise instruction with shrewd course management, etiquette, and the psychology of match play. Illustrated with staged positions that freeze the motion of the hickory-shaft era, the book sits at the early crest of modern sports pedagogy, codifying technique as golf globalized and equipment standardized. Vardon, the six-time Open Champion and 1900 U.S. Open winner, forged his authority on links from Jersey to Sandwich and across America. His pioneering overlapping "Vardon grip," refined through arduous tours and a hard-won recovery from illness, underwrites the volumes emphasis on economy and repeatability. As a member of the Great Triumvirate with Taylor and Braid, he observed elite practice at close quarters; here he crystallizes that experience into principles tempered by anecdote and understated humor. Readers seeking fundamentals that outlast fashionand context that enriches practicewill find The Complete Golfer both reliable and invigorating. Students of sport history, coaches, and self-taught players alike will profit from its blend of clarity, craft, and calm competitive wisdom.Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the authors voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readabledistilled, never diluted.

The Memoirs of Harriette Wilson is a quicksilver chronicle of Regency high life from the demi-monde. With a conversational yet razor-edged style, Wilson names statesmen and grandees, sketches gaming tables and drawing rooms, and anatomizes the economies of sex, money, and patronage. At once confession and social satire, it turns gossip into analysis and exposes the hypocrisies of respectability amid a thriving scandal press. Born to modest means and educated by Londons pleasure districts, Wilson became a famed courtesan with unusual access to power. Facing age and debt, she fashioned memoir as leverage and testimony, bargaining with named men to suppress chapters. Published by John Joseph Stockdale, the books audacityand Wellingtons celebrated refusalcrystallized contemporary anxieties about reputation. Essential for students of gender, politics, and life writing, The Memoirs of Harriette Wilson offers a candid primary source and a sparkling performance of self. Read it for its shrewd social observation, its wit under pressure, and its enduring challenge to polite narratives of power.Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the authors voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readabledistilled, never diluted.
