Free Download Concussed: Sport’s Uncomfortable Truth by Sam Peters
English | November 3, 2023 | ISBN: 1838955771 | 400 pages | PDF | 10 Mb
By recounting the untold story of the most influential sports campaign in British newspaper history, which turned concussion in professional rugby from a niche issue into front and back page news, Concussed poses the questions all sports lovers need answering as evidence grows linking sports-related concussions to premature deaths and dementia. Written by Sam Peters, the journalist who spearheaded the Mail on Sunday’s Cudlipp Prize nominated concussion campaign, Concussed reveals one man’s attempts to blow the whistle on a mounting head injury crisis. For years, his efforts saw him labelled a ‘pariah’ and almost forced him out of the sport he loved for good. Including exclusive interviews with bereaved families whose stories have never been told before, as well as high-profile administrators, medics, current and past players, coaches, lawyers and media figures, Peters recounts the countless battles he fought and the threats he faced in a sport whose macho culture masked the urgent need to radically overhaul player welfare standards.

Free Download George Orwell, "Orwell On Truth"
English | 2018 | ISBN: 1328507866, 0358065054 | EPUB | pages: 224 | 4.7 mb
Over the course of his career, George Orwell wrote about many things, but no matter what he wrote the goal was to get at the fundamental truths of the world. He had no place for dissemblers, liars, conmen, or frauds, and he made his feelings well-known. In Orwell on Truth, excerpts from across Orwell’s career show how his writing and worldview developed over the decades, profoundly shaped by his experiences in the Spanish Civil War, and further by World War II and the rise of totalitarian states. In a world that seems increasingly like one of Orwell’s dystopias, a willingness to speak truth to power is more important than ever. With Orwell on Truth, readers get a collection of both powerful quotes and the context for them.
