THE GREAT LIFE: A MAN'S GUIDE TO SPORTS, SKILLS, FITNESS, AND SERIOUS FUN
Evans, Sid
2000 6758 Hip, adventurous, and well-written, Men's Journal magazine is also downright useful. Who else would tell us that when a shark attacks you from below, it's likely that they've just mistaken you for a fish or turtle and will probably spit you out. (A big probably, to be sure). This collection of well-tuned wisdom instructs us on everything from climbing mountains to cigar etiquette; from the mechanic of prison escape to brewing your own beer. No offense to the editors, but we believe that, regardless of gender, anyone would enjoy The Great Life FROM THE PUBLISHER From the editors of Men's Journal comes a manual for the modern man who believes that life is, or should be, an adventure. At once entertaining and comprehensive, this book covers Adventure, Competitive Sports, Fitness and Health, Women, Skills, and Vices, with over 150 essays offering the best advice and inspiration from the leading experts in their fields.
