A Woman's Game
This is the astonishing history of women's football: from the game's first appearance in England in the late nineteenth century to the incredible teams that at their height drew 53,000 spectators to Goodison Park, through to its fifty-year ban in the UK and the aftershocks when restrictions were lifted. Following the game's meteoric rise in recent years, Suzanne Wrack considers what the next chapter of this incredible story might - and should - be.
The history of the women's game has been long overlooked. This book celebrates it, and the teams and individuals who helped the sport develop into today's nationally and internationally recognized phenomenon.
A világűr - 101 izgalmas kérdés és válasz
Ha felnézel az éjszakai égboltra, ezer és ezer csillagot látsz. De vajon hogy keletkeznek, és mennyi van belőlük az univerzumban? Az asztronómia, az égitestekkel foglalkozó tudomány rengeteg izgalmas kérdésre ismeri a választ bolygónkkal, Naprendszerünkkel és a világűrrel kapcsolatban. Ebből a könyvből megtudhatod például, hogy mi okozza a holdfogyatkozást, mennyi meteorit hullik a Földre egy nap, hány csillagkép van az égbolton, miért látjuk mindig csak a Hold egyik oldalát, de számos érdekességet is olvashatsz a teleszkópról, az első űrhajósokról, az űrállomásokról, a műholdakról vagy az űrautókról. Ha pedig az összes kérdésre ismered már a választ, jutalomként felépítheted a könyv hátuljában található Ariane-rakéta látványos 3D modelljét!

Jean-Michel Basquiat: King Pleasure (c)
This landmark volume tells the story of Jean-Michel Basquiat from the intimate perspective of his family, intertwining his artistic endeavors with his personal life, influences, and the times in which he lived, and features for the first time work from the Estate’s largely unseen and significant collection of paintings, drawings, sketches, and ephemera.
Organized by the family of Basquiat, the exhibition and accompanying catalogue feature over 200 never before and rarely seen paintings, drawings, ephemera, and artifacts. The artist’s contributions to the history of art and his exploration into our multi-faceted culture—incorporating music, the Black experience, pop culture, African American sports figures, literature, and other sources—are showcased alongside personal reminiscences and firsthand accounts providing unique insight into Basquiat’s creative life and his singular voice that propelled the social and cultural narrative that continues to this day.
Structured around key periods in his life, from his childhood and formative years, his meteoric rise in the art world and beyond, to his untimely death, the book features in-depth interviews with his surviving family members.

Ice
The curious and vanishing world of ice in Greenland, told through 24 hours in the life of a polar scientist.
'Insightful, lyrical, and personal' - Jon Gertner
'Evokes the ice sheet's magnificence and fragility' - Elizabeth Kolbert
One of the least inhabited and most mysterious parts of the world, Greenland is a singular place on Earth from which to look for the future of our planet and question its history.
Polar scientist Marco Tedesco, a world-leading expert on ice and on climate change, takes us along as he and his fellow researchers conduct all-important measurements to understand the dramatic changes afoot on the immense polar ice cap. Following a day in the life of this disappearing world, Tedesco tells us about improbable 'polar camels', cryoconite holes, gigantic meteorite debris, the epic deeds of great Arctic explorers and the legends of Greenland's earliest populations.
Through these stories, anecdotes and curiosities, Tedesco passionately explains why this continent is something to be treasured and how it could tip the balance of our fate as a species. Blending science and Tedesco's personal journey, ICE is a book full of both wonder and urgency.
