Bøger af Doug Richards

This work introduces the human brain and the human nervous system, what happens when normal neural function is lost, and how resulting disorders can be treated. Intended for the non-specialist, this book explores conditions such as epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease, and multiple sclerosis, mood disorders, and addiction.

Follow Doug Richards' incredible running journey, from his first mile at the approach of middle age, via marathons at home and abroad, and on to wider and wilder horizons. How will a bus-pass-bearing pensioner fare running across the Sahara Desert and the polar ice-cap, confronting elephants in South Africa and tsunami devastation in Sri Lanka?

Having realised his dream of running at least a half marathon on all seven continents before his 70th birthday, Doug Richards - author of Running Hot & Cold and Can We Run With You, Grandfather? - travels to new remote locations for his next challenge... to complete 24,902 miles, the equivalent of the circumference of the Earth's equator.

In his previous book, Running Hot & Cold, Doug described his journey from couch potato in late middle age to running long-distance races across the Sahara Desert and the polar ice-cap of Greenland. Now approaching 70 years of age, Doug is edging towards his ultimate dream of running at least a half marathon on each of Earth's seven continents.
