Everyone has a friend of whom they are, if they are honest, a little bit jealous. You know the type; that effortlessly funny mate who can plumb in his new bathroom as easily as chat up the most gorgeous girl in the bar (successfully), and who just oozes style, confidence and a certain je ne sais quoi edginess that means everybody loves him and thinks that he's just a really top bloke. All those funny anecdotes, all those congratulatory laughs, all the free beers...Now every man can become this kind of guy, with the help of "The Manly Man Manual", a brilliant new bumper book from Infinite Ideas, publishers of last years bestselling Christmas book for women, "Goddess" (978 1 904902 77 5). From how to put up a shelf, drink (and enjoy) real ale, and place a canny bet, to modern tips on personal grooming, style and pulling off the most audacious of blags, "The Manly Man Manual" allows the reader access to the insider info that can help make an average chap into a really, really top bloke. With its insider advice from more than 25 authors, "The Manly Man Manual" contains all the inspiration you need to be smarter, sexier, more charismatic and endlessly amusing. Back in the days when men were men, and women loved it, you needed a chest rug, a medallion and a Ford Cortina. In 2007, all you need is "The Manly Man Manual". Simply brilliant.

Steve Shipside is a qualified diving and fitness instructor, an ultrarunner, and an IronMan triathlete. Unfortunately none of this ever stopped him from looking like he shaved in the dark, dressed in discarded potato sacks, and displayed all the social savoir faire of a horse butcher at a garden party. He needed help, and his girlfriend made sure he knew it. Fortunately as a writer and editor since 1990 he has met a lot of top blokes who can point him in the right direction, many of whom kindly contributed to this book. By rights he should be behind bars or flipping burgers. Instead of which he is more likely to be found sipping cocktails with dark lovelies in exotic locations. If he can, you surely can.Steve is the author of several Infinite Ideas titles; Ultimate Gift Experiences (978 1 904902 53 9), Podcasting (978 1 904902 73 7) and Getting away with it (978 1 904902 54 6), plus Get fit! (978 1 905940 19 6) and Get rid of your gut (978 1 905940 22 6) which are both available in the Brilliant Little Ideas series. In the 52 Brilliant Ideas series Steve has written Adventure sports(978 1 904902 52 2), Win at the gym (978 1 904902 00 3) and Power-up Pilates(978 1 90490204 1).Steve Shipside is a qualified diving and fitness instructor, an ultrarunner, and an IronMan triathlete.

Hardback. Etat : Good. For most of the twentieth century, the Mr. America image epitomized muscular manhood. From humble beginnings in 1939 at a small gym in Schenectady, New York, the Mr. America Contest became the world's premier bodybuilding event over the next thirty years. Rooted in ancient Greek virtues of health, fitness, beauty, and athleticism, it showcased some of the finest specimens of American masculinity. Interviewing nearly one hundred major figures in the physical culture movement (including twenty-five Mr. Americas) and incorporating copious printed and manuscript sources, John D. Fair has created the definitive study of this iconic phenomenon.Revealing the ways in which the contest provided a model of functional and fit manhood, Mr. America captures the event's path to idealism and its slow descent into obscurity. As the 1960s marked a turbulent transition in American society--from the civil rights movement to the rise of feminism and increasing acceptance of homosexuality--Mr. America changed as well. Exploring the influence of other bodily displays, such as the Mr. Universe and Mr. Olympia contests and the Miss America Pageant, Fair focuses on commercialism, size obsession, and drugs that corrupted the competition's original intent. Accessible and engaging, Mr. America is a compelling portrayal of the glory days of American muscle. N° de réf. du vendeur 00110284883
