Andrew Goodman tells the story of the most astonishing partnership in the history of British musical entertainment, & unfolds it against the authentic background of the city & era in which they flourished. With much original research & many hitherto unpublished illustrations, Goodman makes an invaluable contribution to our knowledge, understanding & appreciation of Gilbert & Sullivan in this handsome volume, already a classic of its kind. He summons up a bygone era in a predominantly celebratory tone: recalling the lost grandeur of the city`s great entertainment palaces, its atmospheric streetlife & nightlife, its splendour & its squalor. Mike Leigh, director of ” Topsy Turvy”, a film about Gilbert & Sullivan`s collaboration on ” The Mikado”, provides a new foreword. ...

How do I get stronger? How can I train most effeciently? Which exercises make the most sense? These are only a few questions that we as trainers are confronted with during our daily routine. Throughout the last decade, climbing went through major developments especially in the realm of training where contents & methods have changed dramatically as far as sophistication goes. Our main target is to enrich the current knowledge of training with a selection of new & creative exercises. The focus of our program is a well-balanced & long term performance-gain. We want to avoid a one-sided physical burden through inappropriate training. How can I train in a well-rounded manner? What is it that I have to focus on during my exercises? What is the ideal extent of my training-activities? How do I combine them most productively? You can find the answers to all these questions on this DVD, which comes completed with an easy-to-understand practice-book. We have decided in favour of an additional learning video because we believe that it is the best way to communicate the complex forms of our exercises in a didactically appropriate manner. Apart from that it`s great to have a book too which you can easily take anywhere to have a quick look, so we found it necessary to provide you with this as well. There`s another thing which might be of interest for many of you: the answer to the question how pro-climbers train. We have put together a fine selection of interviews with some of them to provide you with some insight on what a few of the best of them understand by the term training. ...
