Cadel Evans,Rupert Guinness: The Tour

The Tour


Description

The campaign to win the Tour de France begins the day the last Tour finishes. Planning begins, the lessons learnt from the just completed Tour are analysed and the team looks at how they can improve. From joining the BMC team to crossing the finish line, this book takes us through the planning and steps that led to winning the 2011 Tour de France - the biggest event on the road cycling calendar for both riders and the millions of followers of cycling's Grand Tour. Cadel takes us through the process of recruiting the best riders, the training camps and the practice rides. Then he explains the stages of the race to show how the team worked together, the tactics and the challenges that they had to overcome: the crashes, illness, injury, exhaustion. He talks about the pros and cons planning for the racing year - why certain races are agreed to and others left out. What are the elements behind a Tour defence? Will it be harder to defend than win? What will he expect from his rivals? Can he take the yellow jersey a second time?

Filled with real-life examples and practical advice on how to address tricky career challenges, and use your CV to stand out from the competition, this is an indispensable guide for job hunters. The You're Hired! series from Trotman guides job hunters through the challenging process of finding and securing their perfect role. Each book is written by an expert in their field and is filled with tips, advice and useful exercises to help prepare for every stage of the job search. In this short and powerful book, celebrated philosopher Martha Nussbaum makes a passionate case for the importance of the liberal arts at all levels of education. Historically, the humanities have been central to education because they have rightly been seen as essential for creating competent democratic citizens. But recently, Nussbaum argues, thinking about the aims of education has gone disturbingly awry both in the United States and abroad. Anxiously focused on national economic growth, we increasingly treat education as though its primary goal were to teach students to be economically productive rather than to think critically and become knowledgeable and empathetic citizens. This shortsighted focus on profitable skills has eroded our ability to criticize authority, reduced our sympathy with the marginalized and different, and damaged our competence to deal with complex global The Tour free pdf problems. And the loss of these basic capacities jeopardizes the health of democracies and the hope of a decent world. In response to this dire situation, Nussbaum argues that we must resist efforts to reduce education to a tool of the gross national product.
