From the often hilarious social media account @shortandsnarkyrowing, The Short and Snarky Guide to Rowing and Coxing is funny, irreverent, and something your coxswains will actually read. This is totally unlike other coxing books. Written by two coxswains-turned-coaches with almost four collective decades of high school, college, club, and masters coxing experience and hundreds of races under our belts, we give you the lowdown on coxing for mere mortals that real rowing books would never dare. From novice juniors to senior masters, whether you are a coxswain, a rowing coach who works with coxswains, or a sweep rower who has to take the occasional turn coxing, we promise you'll learn something and we promise you'll laugh out loud. We cover it all from the very first practice to crossing the line in the championship race, and everything in between. We help coaches figure out how to finally get through to their coxswains, share coxing stories and insight it took us decades to learn, and include tons of photos of how to do all things rowing-both right and wrong-taken from the coxswain seat perspective. And we provide straight, candid answers to the most frequently asked questions from our coxing clinics. This is a resource that every coxswain, coach, and rowing club should own.

The introduction of women's rowing as an NCAA sport is only one of many factors that helped crew shed its elitist Ivy League image and made it the fast-growing activity that it is today. Now Sports Illustrated veteran photographer Ronald C. Modra and his wife, journalist M.B. Roberts, have filled the need for an authoritative guide for all participants--from high school and college athletes (and their parents, coaches, and trainers) to adults eager to try rowing for the first time. Along with background on the sport's history going back to ancient times, here's complete instruction on everything from getting into the shell safely (without shoving your foot through the bottom) to efficient rowing form and competitive racing strategy.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “A fascinating look at how consumers perceive logos, ads, commercials, brands, and products.”—Time How much do we know about why we buy? What truly influences our decisions in today’s message-cluttered world? In Buyology, Martin Lindstrom presents the astonishing findings from his groundbreaking three-year, seven-million-dollar neuromarketing study—a cutting-edge experiment that peered inside the brains of 2,000 volunteers from all around the world as they encountered various ads, logos, commercials, brands, and products. His startling results shatter much of what we have long believed about what captures our interest—and drives us to buy. Among the questions he explores: • Does sex actually sell? • Does subliminal advertising still surround us? • Can “cool” brands trigger our mating instincts? • Can our other senses—smell, touch, and sound—be aroused when we see a product? Buyology is a fascinating and shocking journey into the mind of today's consumer that will captivate anyone who's been seduced—or turned off—by marketers' relentless attempts to win our loyalty, our money, and our minds.

In 1975, a group of amazing women rowed their way to international success and glory, battling sexual prejudice, bureaucracy, and male domination in one of the most grueling and competitive sports around. Among the members of the first international women’s crew team--and one of the first women’s teams anywhere--were Gail Pearson, the soft-spoken MIT professor who fought equally hard off the water to win the political battles neccessary for her team to succeed; lead rower Carie Graves, a statuesque bohemian from rural Wisconsin who dropped out of college and later became the most intense rower of the crew; and Lynn Stillman, a tiny sixteen-year-old coxswain from California. On hand to guide them was Harry Parker, the legendary Harvard men’s crew coach who overcame his doubts about the ability of women to withstand the rigors of hard training. From their first dramatic bid at the 1975 World Championships to their preparations for their first Olympic Games in 1976, this gripping story of bravery, determination, and indomitable spirit captures a compelling moment in the history of sports and of America.
