Tour de France

In this highly original history of the world's most famous bicycle race, Christopher S. Thompson, mining previously neglected sources and writing with infectious enthusiasm for his subject, tells the compelling story of the Tour de France from its creation in 1903 to the present. Weaving the words of racers, politicians, Tour organizers, and a host of other commentators together with a wide-ranging analysis of the culture surrounding the event including posters, songs, novels, films, and media coverage Thompson links the history of the Tour to key moments and themes in French history. Examining the enduring popularity of Tour racers, Thompson explores how their public images have changed over the past century. A new preface explores the long-standing problem of doping in light of recent scandals.

Highland Broadsword

The lessons in Highland Broadsword are designed to help you learn the fundamentals of broadsword fighting, with an emphasis on developing practical skills, not on exploring the esoteric details of broadsword fencing theory. In the first part of the book, Christopher Thompson—who is the author of Highland Knife Fighting and Highland Martial Culture , and runs the Cateran Society Broadsword Academy in Portland, Maine—instructs you in the essentials of Highland swordsmanship, including stances, grips, footwork, and blade actions. After you've mastered these skills, you can test what you've learned with the free fencing and bouting exercises found in part two before moving on to the disarm maneuvers and advanced fighting techniques in part three. Highland Broadsword can be used as a self-study guide by groups or by individuals with a training partner. While designed for the broadsword, the techniques in this manual also work with the backsword and singlestick. This is a must-read for anyone interested in the historical use of Highland weapons or in the Western martial arts in general.

Bariatric Endoscopy

To date, diet programs and medical therapies for the treatment of obesity have had limited success. Bariatric surgery, however, provides a means of effective weight loss for many of those with morbid obesity. Most of these weight loss procedures are performed with a variety of techniques that continue to evolve. Each technique is associated with unique challenges and complications and it is important for the clinician to be knowledgeable about the endoscopic management of these patients. Additionally, as endoscopic technology evolves it may offer more than just the diagnosis and treatment of complications. Endoscopic therapy may soon allow less invasive bariatric revision procedures as well ...

The magnificent landscapes of southern New Zealand, captured beautifully by artist (outdoor photographer and professional designer) Christopher Thompson. Exquisitely designed by the author and featuring a foreword by renowned photographer and environmentalist Craig Potton, the book features over 100 large artistic landscape moments, along with personal anecdotes about the images, captured mostly during his wanderings in the wild places of New Zealand."There is nothing brash, ironic or even contemporary about Christopher's images. When viewing them for the first or hundredth time you are seduced by a well-practiced, well-honed and nuanced art in which everything is considered and beautiful.He's a photographer of exquisite coloured surfaces that don't shout loudly at first glance but rather gently invite you into their harmonious and powerful world" Craig Potton. (Photographer, Environmentalist, Publisher, Businessman and Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit - MNZM)
