The Agritopianists


A precise history of Japan’s agriculture-based communitarian projects and the utopian theories that have motivated the country’s social changesAs a part of his research series on the historical practices of communitarian utopias in different countries, Ou Ning''s new book, The Agritopianists, focuses on the labor experiments of intellectual groups in 20th-century Japan’s rural areas. From the collective Atarashiki-mura (New Village) Movement initiated by Mushakoji Saneatsu, through many other individual semiagricultural life practices of Japanese writers and artists, the book traces the emergence of a shared agricultural fundamentalism that informed and evolved into the active political interventions of later years. Ou Ning combines original field investigation with a close reading of the historical archives to construct a narrative spanning period and geographies that is always attentive to specific detail. The Agritopianists takes the reader to the historical scene and asks them to consider its relevance to today’s urgent questions of ways of living and planetary thinking. Among the many histories of utopian thought and experiments, this is a unique rethinking of environmental possibilities through geographical and cultural differences.Ou Ning (born 1969) is a poet, writer, curator, filmmaker, editor, researcher, activist and founder of the utopian villages Bishan Commune and School of Tillers. In 2004 he cofounded the Alternative Archive with artist Cao Fei. He has edited several journals including The Voice, Modern Chinese Poetry, Filmakers and Chutzpah!. He taught at GSAPP, Columbia University, and worked as the chief curator of the 2009 Hong Kong & Shenzhen Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism and Architecture.

On the Grid


'On the Grid is incredibly special. I loved every thoughtfully written word' Will Buxton 'Luke is one of the foremost journalists within the paddock. His book draws the curtain back on our sport... Very few titles have covered the stories of the unsung members of the F1 community in this level of detail and with such vibrancy' Toto Wolff 'Even if you think you know everything there is to know about Formula 1, you'll learn something within these pages' GP Racing Formula 1 might only have twenty drivers in its most elite competition, but each is supported by a world-class team of mechanics, engineers, strategists, party planners and much more. In On the Grid journalist Luke Smith takes us behind the scenes of the past, present and future of the sport, telling its story through the eyes of the people who create it, including the all-important fans. We see thrilling drama, cutting-edge technology, the stress and the glamour. Smith takes us to the starting grid, full of engine fumes and sweat, to yacht parties in Monaco and to the pit lane for the critical mid-race decisions. We see how a fifty-pence screw in the wrong place could cause a 15m libs car to break down, how F1 has influenced not just the cars we drive but life-saving medical equipment and even croissants, how you create a Grand Prix track from scratch. On the Grid shows us what it's like to work in a high-pressure and inherently dangerous sport; showcases the personalities that give it such drama and intrigue; examines how the sport is addressing its critics around inclusivity and environmental impact. For both long-time fans and newcomers, what results is the definitive, access-all-areas account of what makes F1 stand alone in world sport.

The Little Book of Irish Football


Did You Know? On 6 February 1961, Danny Blanchflower became the first, and only, person to refuse to appear as the subject of This is Your Life when he turned down Eamonn Andrews live on BBC TV. From 1882 until 1931, international teams representing the Irish Football Association wore sky blue jerseys rather than green ones. In February 1963, when football grounds in England were unplayable due to the ‘big freeze’, Manchester United played three of their games in Ireland. The Little Book of Irish Football is a compendium of fascinating, obscure and entertaining stories about the Beautiful Game on the Emerald Isle. It brings to life some of the long-lost tales about how the game grew and thrived across the island. It also explores the division of football in Ireland and the famous players and teams that have stolen the headlines over the decades. The various chapters bring to life the highs and lows of Irish football, telling tales of glory and strife amid adversity.A reliable and quirky guide, this little reference book can be dipped into time and again to reveal something new about the fascinating history of association football in Ireland, as well as the many characters and fans who have brought the game the life over the decades.

The Formula


F1 is now the fastest growing sport in the world; the full story of its unbelievable rise is a riveting saga only hinted at by the likes of Drive to Survive. In this book - the first, definitive account of how F1 came to achieve total global fandom - Wall Street Journal reporters Joshua Robinson and Jonathan Clegg take us inside a world full of racing obsessives, glamorous settings, petrolheads, engineering geniuses, dashing racers and bitter rivalries. The story of F1's world dominance is one of near-constant transformation and experimentation. This is a sport where the only way to win championships is to land a series of technical moon shots - and then do it all over again. With fast cars, big money, beautiful people, and glamorous locations from Monaco to Melbourne, The Formula tells the full, epic story of the sport. Starting in 1950s Britain, where six years of wartime engineering laid the foundations for a new type of motorcar racing; to the first global star partnership of Senna and Ecclestone; Spygate; Crashgate and its transition into an entertainment juggernaut. Bringing unique insight and access to F1's most storied teams and personalities - from Ferrari to Lewis Hamilton to Christian Horner and Daniel Ricciardo -The Formula offers a riveting portrait of the drivers, corporations, cars, rivalries, and audacious gambles that have shaped the sport for half a century. The end result is a high-octane history of how modern F1 racing came to be - the first book to tell the story of the outrageous successes and spectacular crashes that led F1 to this extraordinary yet precarious moment. More than just a sports story, it is the tale of a commercial empire, one built in the 20th century, rendered almost obsolete in the early 21st, and re-emerged world-dominant today; a disrupter that claimed its place in the crowded sports marketplace through cash, personality, and a new understanding of what a sport needs to be in the age of wall-to-wall entertainment.

Aranycsapat a terror idején


Képzeljük el, hogy ma a magyar válogatott a világ messze legerősebb, legzseniálisabb csapata. És közben megtört, megfélemlített, látszólag aranyéletet élő, de bármikor letartóztatható, erőszakkal beszervezhető, megalázható játékosokból áll. Van olyan tagja, aki pár éve még a politikai rendőrség kényszerrel besorozott tisztje volt (Hidegkuti Nándor). Egyik csapattársát korábban internálták (Lóránt Gyula), a másikat letartóztatta, majd elengedte ugyanaz az "államvédelem" (Grosics Gyula). Másokat erőszakkal "raboltak el" szeretett klubjukból (Deák Ferenc, Kocsis Sándor, Czibor Zoltán), egyikükből később besúgót "kreáltak" (Czibor). Volt társuk, akit már a nagy sikerek idejére kivégeztek (Szűcs Sándor), más, túlélve a szovjet kényszermunkatábort, nemigen tetszett a rendszerhű szövetségi kapitánynak (Sebes Gusztáv), így nem lehetett válogatott (Raduly József). Voltak, akik még időben elmenekültek az országból (Kubala László), mások pedig hiába voltak világklasszisok, nem volt esélyük bekerülni a nemzeti csapatba. Ez (is) volt az Aranycsapat. Mező Gábor új könyve visszavezet egy szörnyű korszakba, a Rákosi-diktatúrába, korábban már ismert és teljesen ismeretlen történeteket, tragédiákat felidézve. De a végkicsengés mégsem keserű: bár az Aranycsapat klasszisai csak a pályán lehettek szabadok, varázslatos játékukkal hitet, reményt, boldogságot adtak egy sötétségre és félelemre kárhoztatott nemzet számára.
