Sólo un joven idealista podía aterrizar en el corazón de Kenia esperando encontrar ahí una versión animada de lo que había visto y estudiado hasta entonces en el Museo de Ciencias Naturales de Nueva York.

In 2020, Paul Harris aka 'The Warrior Walker' set off on a walking pilgrimage around the UK that would rebuild his life from rock bottom and change the way he saw the world forever. With only £300 in his pocket and a 30-kilo rucksack on his back, Paul decided to leave his life as he knew it and took up wild camping, slept rough, struggled along the coast paths of Devon, Cornwall and Wales in the sideways rain, and wading through knee-high snowdrifts around the Scottish islands and the burning summer sun on England's east coast. Walking was therapy. Nature was restorative.

Few athletes hold a record comparable to that of Oscar Chalupsky.

No Retreat, No Surrender is an uplifting account of grit, perseverance, talent and attitude, vividly capturing the determined mindset of an inspirational sporting legend.

While she is groomed to be a show dog, it's soon obvious that her heart is in the hills and with Rick, who decides to add more challenging hikes to the mix.

Before Georgetown physics professor Francis Slakey decided to climb the highest mountain on every continent and surf every ocean, he had shut himself off from other people.

A gripping adventure of the body and mind, To the Last Breath depicts the quest that leads Slakey around the globe, almost takes his life, and opens his heart.
