Paul Tergat: Running to the Limit
Author: Jürg Wirz
Publisher: Meyer & Meyer Verlag
ISBN: 1841261653
Category : Marathon running
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
34-year-old Kenyan Paul Tergat has secured his place in the history books with his Marathon world record in Berlin at the end of September 2003. Today he is considered as one of the best runners of all time. At Olympic Games he won two silver medals, both times behind his friend and rival Haile Gebrselassie. This book will illustrate Tergats way from an unknown runner in a tiny village in Kenya to the Marathon world record holder and Dollar-millionaire. It will show the triumphs and disappointments that formed him as a human being. He is still the man they call "a gentleman" not without reason. In "Running to the Limit" Paul Tergat will also tell a lot about his training program, e.g. in a special chapter about the famous Italian running school of Dr. Gabriele Rosa, who coached his first Kenyan athlete, Moses Tanui, in 1990, and nowadays has 200 Kenyan athletes under contract, among them some of the best Marathon runners in the world. Tergat will also give many training tips for everyday runners, because many of his hints and ideas hold true for record holders as well as for hobbyists. "Running to the Limit" is richly illustrated with colourful photographs, many of them as yet unpublished shots from Kenya.

It Happened on the Way to War

ISBN: 1408828235
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 378
Book Description
This is a book about two forms of service that may appear contradictory: war-fighting and peacemaking, military service and social entrepreneurship. In 2001, Marine officer-in-training Rye Barcott cofounded a nongovernmental organization with two Kenyans in the Kibera slum of Nairobi. Their organization-Carolina for Kibera-grew to become a model of a global movement called participatory development, and Barcott continued volunteering with CFK while leading Marines in dangerous places. It Happened on the Way to War is a true story of heartbreak, courage, and the impact that small groups of committed citizens can make in the world.

Sukuma Labor Songs from Western Tanzania
Author: Frank D. Gunderson
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004184686
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 568
Book Description
This volume is an interpretive analysis of a collection of 335 song texts treated as primary historical sources. The collection highlights the cultural practices that link music with labor in Sukuma communities in northwestern Tanzania. These linkages are evident in the music of the elephant, snake, and porcupine hunting associations that flourished in the precolonial epoch, in the nineteenth-century regional and long-distance porter associations, and in the farmer associations that have proliferated since the beginning of the twentieth century. Acting primarily as an interpretive editor, the author collaborated with several Tanzanian scholars and translators towards fine-tuning the translation of these texts into English, and gathered testimonies in order to create succinct interpretive statements about the songs.
