Jonathan Edwards became an instant celebrity when he broke a 10-year-old world record for the triple jump at Gothenburg in 1995. Here, he charts his struggle to reach the top in his sporting career. At the core of Edwards' life has been his Christian faith. He became known as the athlete who refused to compete on Sundays, a decision which led him to miss the 1991 World Championships in Tokyo. He later reversed this decision as he came to believe that he had been given a gift and it was his responsibility to use it.

The purpose of this work is to cast more light on some key aspects of the long jump and especially to fill the lacuna which has become ever more evident in the literature on the topic and is related to the kind of long-jump in the ancient pentathlon. This study is completely different or has very little in common with the theories proposed previously. For almost 200 years the long jump in the ancient pentathlon has remained a field of controversy. Scholars have admitted that the subject is confused and presents a great number of unanswered questions, essential and important for any understanding of the event: What significance can be attached to the supposed feats of the two ancient Greek athletes Chionis and Phayllus? What exactly was the long jump in the ancient pentathlon? Where did the long jump have its roots? What and where was the ancient skamma? What was the ancient bater and where was it located? Did athletes drop the halteres just before landing in the skamma? Did all athletes use the same halteres in the same games? How many attempts was each athlete allowed at the jump?

The Allied invasion of Papua New Guinea begins. Badly.Alternative history takes center stage as Operation Long Jump, the second book in the Jock Miles World War 2 adventure series, plunges us into the horrors of combat in the rainforests of Papua New Guinea. As a prelude to the Allied invasion, Jock Miles and his men seize the Japanese observation post on the mountain overlooking Port Moresby. The main invasion that follows quickly degenerates to a bloody stalemate, as the inexperienced, demoralized, and poorly led GIs struggle against the stubborn enemy. Seeking a way to crack the impenetrable Japanese defenses, infantry officer Jock finds himself in a new role-aerial observer. He's teamed with rookie pilot John Worth, in a prequel to his role as hero of Grasso's East Wind Returns. Together, they struggle to expose the Japanese defenses-while highly exposed themselves-in their slow and vulnerable spotter plane. The enemy is not the only thing troubling Jock: his Australian lover, Jillian Forbes, has found a new and dangerous way to contribute to the war effort.
