The Sequel to the Bestselling Workout Book for Men Bigger Leaner Stronger

Is this a bodybuilding book that'll show you how to obliterate your PRs and get jacked and swole in just 30 days?

No.

Is it a fitness book full of radical diet and exercise strategies and techniques for packing on slabs of lean mass and shredding piles of body fat faster than a roided cheetah?

Absolutely not.

But is it an exercise book (and nutrition book) that'll show you exactly how to eat and exercise to gain your next 15-to-20 pounds of lean muscle without having to force feed yourself (and just get fat), train a couple of hours per day (and just burn out), or sweat blood in every workout (and just get hurt)?

Yes.

And faster than you probably think possible.

Here are just a few of the things you'll discover inside this workout book for men:

• The biggest (and most common) mistake even experienced weightlifters make with their diet that makes it almost impossible to keep gaining muscle and strength no matter what they do in the gym (and it's not skipping meals, eating too little protein, or eating too much in general).


• A tried and tested way to cycle your calories and carbs when cutting for having more energy, less hunger, and fewer cravings, and when lean bulking for gaining a lot more muscle than fat.


• A little-known but science-based method of accurately determining how much muscle and strength you can ultimately gain given your anatomy and genetics (including calculators to do the math for you).


• How to periodize your training using the time-proven principles of undulation and wave loading to gain up to 22% more strength, according to research (and remember-with more strength comes more muscle).


• 12 months of paint-by-numbers resistance training workouts for building a fuller chest, wider back, thicker legs, and stronger arms . . . in only 3-to-5 weight training sessions per week.

And that's not all, either . . .

• 252 peer-reviewed scientific studies support the Beyond Bigger Leaner Stronger system of eating, training, and recovering for losing fat and building muscle and strength.


• Beyond Bigger Leaner Stronger has sold over 100,000 copies and was recently revised based on the latest findings in nutrition and exercise research (hence the second edition).


• Beyond Bigger Leaner Stronger is written by international bestselling author and trainer Mike Matthews, who has sold over 2 million books and been featured in Esquire, Men's Health, Elle, Women's Health, Muscle & Strength, and more.

So, imagine . . . just 12 weeks from now . . . looking at the changes in your physique and thinking, I did that. That's awesome. I'm awesome. And believing it.

The bottom line is you can go from kinda fit, kinda fat to superfit, sub-10% bodyfat without following a bland, boring, bodybuilding diet and without doing exhausting weightlifting workouts you hate. And this exercise book shows you how.

Get your copy now, and start your journey to a bigger, leaner, and stronger you.

When Michael Matthews first visited Detroit, he was grimly fascinated by the place. The sheer scale of the crime and desolation was unlike anything he had seen before. He was hooked, and returned whenever he could. Over dozens of visits, he got to know the people - cops, reporters and gang members as well as ordinary Detroiters trying to live their lives in peace - and formed deep bonds with them, which led him into places and situations no writer has ever seen before.

AMERICAN RUIN is the story of Michael's journey into the soul of this broken city, a shocking, violent and heart-breaking portrayal of a modern tragedy.

Detroit was once the richest city in America, celebrated around the world for its prolific car production and flourishing music scene - the American Dream come true.
Then came its fall. Detroit became the deadliest place in America, with more murders per capita than any other major city in the country. With drugs and guns rife on the streets and its administration riddled with corruption, the city was dying and anyone who could was getting out.

AMERICAN RUIN is an explosive portrait of a city trying desperately to get back on its feet and the people prepared to give everything for their home.

The book's argument depends, as do most proposals in education, upon cer- tain positions in the philosophy of education. I believe that education should be primarily concerned with developing understanding, with initiation into worth- while traditions of intellectual achievement, and with developing capacities for clear, analytic and critical thought. These have been the long-accepted goals of liberal education. In a liberal education, students should come to know and appre- ciate a variety of disciplines, know them at an appropriate depth, see the interconnectedness of the disciplines, or the modes of thought, and finally have some critical disposition toward what is being learned, to be genuinely open- minded about intellectual things. These liberal goals are contrasted with goals such as professional training, job preparation, promotion of self-esteem, social engineering, entertainment, or countless other putative purposes of schooling that are enunciated by politicians, administrators, and educators. The book's argument might be consistent with other views of education- especially ones about the training of specialists (sometimes called a professional view of education)-but the argument fits best with a liberal view of education. The liberal hope has always been that if education is done well, then other per- sonal and social goods will follow. The development of informed, critical, and moral capacities is the cornerstone for personal and social achievements.

'A CAPTIVATING DEEP DIVE INTO THE STRANGE WORLD OF LATEX-SPORTING SUPERHEROES WHO FIGHT CRIME. WEIRDLY FASCINATING AND FASCINATINGLY WEIRD' John Sweeney

When police officer Michael Matthews first hears about America's Real-Life Superheroes, he is skeptical - but also intrigued.

Deciding to investigate this mysterious community of cape-wearing, weapon-carrying men and women, he discovers that they really do prowl the streets and alleys of American cities fighting crime and protecting the weak.

Michael joins forces with the most famous Real-Life Superheroes in America, including Phoenix Jones and Master Legend, and quickly grows to like and even respect these odd but well-intentioned characters.

But as he spends more time with the superheroes, Michael becomes horrified by their reckless pursuit of justice and the way they operate outside the law.

Moonlighting as a superhero is a dangerous occupation and poses a huge risk to Michael's police career. How far into this strange world will he allow himself to be pulled?

Constructivism is one of the most influential theories in contemporary education and learning theory. It has had great influence in science education. The papers in this collection represent, arguably, the most sustained examination of the theoretical and philosophical foundations of constructivism yet published.
Topics covered include: orthodox epistemology and the philosophical traditions of constructivism; the relationship of epistemology to learning theory; the connection between philosophy and pedagogy in constructivist practice; the difference between radical and social constructivism, and an appraisal of their epistemology; the strengths and weaknesses of the Strong Programme in the sociology of science and implications for science education. The book contains an extensive bibliography.
Contributors include philosophers of science, philosophers of education, science educators, and cognitive scientists. The book is noteworthy for bringing this diverse range of disciplines together in the examination of a central educational topic.

In late nineteenth-century Mexico the Mexican populace was fascinated with the country's booming railroad network. Newspapers and periodicals were filled with art, poetry, literature, and social commentaries exploring the symbolic power of the railroad. As a symbol of economic, political, and industrial modernization, the locomotive served to demarcate a nation's status in the world. However, the dangers of locomotive travel, complicated by the fact that Mexico's railroads were foreign owned and operated, meant that the railroad could also symbolize disorder, death, and foreign domination.

In The Civilizing Machine Michael Matthews explores the ideological and cultural milieu that shaped the Mexican people's understanding of technology. Intrinsically tied to the Porfiriato, the thirty-five-year dictatorship of Gen. Porfirio Díaz, the booming railroad network represented material progress in a country seeking its place in the modern world. Matthews discloses how the railroad's development represented the crowning achievement of the regime and the material incarnation of its mantra, order and progress. The Porfirian administration evoked the railroad in legitimizing and justifying its own reign, while political opponents employed the same rhetorical themes embodied by the railroads to challenge the manner in which that regime achieved economic development and modernization. As Matthews illustrates, the multiple symbols of the locomotive reflected deepening social divisions and foreshadowed the conflicts that eventually brought about the Mexican Revolution.

The pendulum is a universal topic in primary and secondary schools, but its full potential for learning about physics, the nature of science, and the relationships between science, mathematics, technology, society and culture is seldom realised.

Contributions to this 32-chapter anthology deal with the science, history, methodology and pedagogy of pendulum motion. There is ample material for the richer and more cross-disciplinary treatment of the pendulum from elementary school to high school, and through to advanced university classes.

Scientists will value the studies on the physics of the pendulum; historians will appreciate the detailed treatment of Galileo, Huygens, Newton and Foucault's pendulum investigations; psychologists and educators will learn from the papers on Piaget; teachers will welcome the many contributions to pendulum pedagogy.

All readers will come away with a new awareness of the importance of the pendulum in the foundation and development of modern science; and for its centrality in so many facets of society and culture.

'Britain's worst unrest for two decades' New York Times

In August 2011 the shooting of Mark Duggan by the police sparked an explosion of rioting and lawlessness across the UK. Mobs went on the rampage and terrifying scenes of destruction and violence unfolded. Homes and businesses were burnt to the ground, thousands were arrested, many hundreds were injured and five people were killed.

Drawn from interviews with dozens of officers who have never spoken publicly before, this is a terrifying account of how the disorder spread through the country and how the police fought back while under attack from rioters armed with bricks, petrol bombs, knives and guns.

The Riots is full of the kind of heroism we are used to seeing in war and features stories of astonishing bravery from the lethal frontline of British policing. It is as thrilling, controversial and important as real-life stories can get.
