Get Your Tokens Ready


Starting with the first ever regular season matchup between the Mets and Yankees and ending with the last out of the 2000 Subway Series, Get Your Tokens Ready provides the most in-depth look ever published at both teams during the late 1990s and the 2000 season. The 1996 season ended with the Yankees winning their first World Series championship in eighteen years and receiving a grand parade through the streets of the city. The Mets exited the season still struggling to maintain managers and quality players and battling controversy in the clubhouse and off-field. By 2000, the Yankees, amid baseball’s first dynasty in a generation, appeared the undisputed kings of New York with three World Series titles in four seasons. The Mets, however, after years of irrelevance, had rebuilt their team not only to be competitive but to create one dramatic moment after another. Adding to the story were several people who had played or managed for both teams during their careers, most notably Darryl Strawberry, Dwight Gooden, David Cone, and Joe Torre. The result was a golden age of baseball for the city, culminating at long last in the two teams finally battling for New York’s baseball soul in the new millennium during the 2000 World Series. Detailing the moments you remember and some you may have forgotten-from fake mustaches to all-out melees, from wild pitch endings to thrown bat insanity, from heartache to celebration-Get Your Tokens Ready covers it all.

Understorey


'A beautiful, quiet, achingly tender book' Kerri ní Dochartaigh, author of Thin PlacesIn Understorey, artist and writer Anna Chapman Parker records in prose and stunning original line drawings a year spent looking closely at weeds, our most ubiquitous and accessible plants. In gardens, on verges or clustered around municipal lampposts, weeds offer a year-round spectacle of wildlife. The benefits to us of being among greenery are well known, but what exactly are these vaguely familiar shapes that accompany our every step, yet pass beneath our notice? How and when do they emerge, bloom and subside, and what would it mean to notice the? editating too on how they appear in other artists’ work, from a bramble framing a sixth-century Byzantine manuscript to a kudzu vine installation in contemporary Berlin, Chapman Parker explores the art of paying attention even to the smallest things.

Waters of Life


Once common across most of the country, beavers were hunted to extinction in the sixteenth century, but returned to Scottish waters in the early 2000s both through authorised and accidental releases. The deadwood wetlands they create benefit a huge numbers of species, but their activities can also cause havoc with land management, and for this reason their reintroduction is a controversial topic.In November 2021 a family of beavers was relocated to Argaty, Perthshire. Never before had beavers in conflict sites been relocated to new areas of Scotland instead of being culled. It paved the way for a new era in human/beaver relations.In this deeply personal account, Argaty’s Tom Bowser tells of his attempts to save these incredible animals, of the support and opposition received and of the unimaginable gains that beavers ultimately brought to his family farm. Tom also traces the history of these animals and tells the stories of the people who brought them back and fought for their right to remain. In doing so he also explores the wider themes of rewilding and nature conservation in Scotland, meeting some of the leading lights of this exciting and movement, highlighting the work that they do and showing why ecological restoration is so important for the future of our planet.

Mototechna 2


Tuzemská i dovážená osobní vozidla na plakátech a v prospektech 1949-1990 Druhý díl knihy o historii MOTOTECHNY, našeho někdejšího monopolního prodejce automobilů, přináší kompletně nový obrazový obsah. Opět se přesvědčíte, že propagace MOTOTECHNY i zahraničních výrobců vozů, tištěná v češtině pro náš trh do roku 1990, byla pestrá a velmi kreativní. Kniha zachycuje další zajímavé plakáty a prospekty této éry, doplněné o technické údaje, prodejní ceny a historii konkrétních vozidel. Součástí knihy, která má 32 kapitol, je i dosud nezpracované téma prodeje osobních automobilů u našich tehdejších sousedů v NDR, Polsku a Maďarsku. Speciálním bonusem pak jsou informace o tom, čím tehdy jezdili naši známí zpěváci, herci či sportovci. Svým rozsahem a zpracováním má publikace za cíl oslovit touto formou všechny příznivce automobilů, které se ještě nedávno běžně pohybovaly po našich silnicích a byly součástí našich životů.

A kutyák szőrös gyerekek


Hogyan vált a farkasból az ember barátja? Milyen érzelmeik vannak a kutyáknak, hogyan kötődnek, és mi a szerepe a személyes rítusoknak az életükben? Hogyan oldanak meg problémákat? Miben hasonlít, és miben különbözik az emberi és az állati intelligencia? Csányi Vilmos immáron klasszikussá vált művében nemcsak két családi kutya, Bukfenc és Jeromos életét mutatja be, hanem azt is, hogy hogyan lehet a kutyalélek rejtelmeit tudományos vizsgálatok tárgyává tenni - mindezt a világszerte elismert ELTE Etológiai Tanszék legfrissebb kutatási eredményeinek felhasználásával a szerzőtől megszokott közérthető és szórakoztató stílusban. Számos gyakorlati tanács segítségével arra is kitér könyve végén, hogyan tartsunk kutyát: milyen fajtát válasszunk, hogyan szocializáljuk, és hogyan "csináljunk beszélő kutyát".

Kompozice pro fotografy


Kdybyste si ve čtyřicátých letech minulého století pořídili knihu o kompozici, uvnitř byste našli kapitoly „Pravidlo třetin“, „Vodicí linie“ a „Využití vzorů“. Takové „vodicí linie“ jsou známé už od 18. století, ale stále se o nich učíme. Tyto poučky fungují dobře, ale ani zdaleka nepokrývají komplexní podstatu kompozice. Musí v tom být přece něco víc, jinak by už všichni byli mistry, ne? Toto je první kniha, která překračuje zažitá pravidla kompozice opakovaná v každém textu o fotografování. Scott Kelby sdílí dosud nevyslovené myšlenky a odhaluje některá z nejstřeženějších tajemství fotografie v přelomové publikaci, jež se svým zpracováním hodí do učeben i do kavárny. Kniha Kompozice má schopnost změnit způsob, jakým se díváte kolem sebe a jak odteď budete vytvářet své další snímky. Naučíte se, jak pracovat se scénou, pokud jde o fotografování krajiny, cestování i portréty, a získáte spoustu cenných rad, jak krok za krokem postupovat. Navíc se dozvíte, co dělat, když neexistují žádné vodicí čáry a nefunguje ani pravidlo třetin, nebo jak se přizpůsobit okolním podmínkám a jak to může proměnit kompozici vašeho snímku. Dodejte fotografiím hloubku a vyvolejte jimi emoce, které diváka vtáhnou a nepustí! Kniha mimo jiné obsahuje kapitolu s tipy a triky, a dokonce krátkou část o klasických pravidlech kompozice. Každému z tradičních pravidel je spravedlivě věnována jedna stránka – jsou krátké a Scott Kelby v nich jde rovnou k věci. Díky autorovu neformálnímu stylu, který je pro něj typický, se můžete soustředit na tipy, které přesahují rámec zažitých pravidel. Připravte se přehodnotit všechno, co znáte, a vyfoťte přesně takové snímky, o jakých jste vždy snili.

Power Unleashed


Supercharging in all its forms is the most exciting feature ever created to go under the bonnet of a motor car. Blowers were rare yet highly desirable devices in their early heyday of the 1920s and ’30s, an era in which compressors graced supremely glamorous and race-winning cars. They also won respect from aviators eager to exploit high altitudes and this led to prolific use of forced induction in the air in World War II and brought forth many of the engineering geniuses who populate the pages of this scholarly work. Having seemed abandoned on land, supercharging found new acolytes who perfected blowers for road and track. They rescued the turbocharger to open new avenues for high-pressure boosting in the 1970s and ’80s. Into the 21st century turbocharging has found its way into more and more cars to enhance both performance and fuel efficiency. Volume 1, “Rushing toward the racing zenith, 1890s to 1950s,” begins by introducing the bold pioneers who first won races with blowers in 1910 and then took to the air to gain altitude with supercharging in the Great War.Inventive ideas for piston-type blowers, Roots-type, centrifugal, screw-type, vane-type, exhaust-driven turbos and other new compressor technologies.How Fiat, Mercedes and Duesenberg vied to be first in racing with blowers in the early 1920s, sparking a world-wide swathe of interest in exotic supercharged road and track cars that also embraced the likes of Alfa Romeo, Bentley, MG, Miller, Sunbeam and many more.As befits its title, “Wartime boost to forced induction, 1930s to 1970s,” Volume 2’s focus is on the huge strides made in supercharging and turbocharging in World War II by Allied and Axis combatants.Post-war, America powered ahead with turbocharging’s proliferation in racing at Indianapolis followed by wider use from the 1970s for passenger cars and racers, most notably Formula One’s 1,500-horsepower projectiles.Volume 3, “Turbo triumphs on road and track, 1970s to 2020s,” introduces the many and varied applications of boosting for petrol and diesel engines through to the present day.Why and how the 21st century sees sweeping conversion of both road and racing cars to forced induction for higher efficiency and the ultimate in road-burning performance.All told this mighty work contains over 3,500 rare and historic images of superchargers and turbochargers along with their designers and the sensational cars and aircraft that have carried their creations. Power Unleashed is a work of astonishing depth and detail. Greatly respected for his ability to communicate information while telling a compelling story, Karl Ludvigsen explores the global saga of supercharging and turbocharging. Complete with reader-friendly technical descriptions and magnificent illustrations, he introduces the fascinating individuals who bet their businesses on boosting. This is a landmark work in the histories of the automobile and airplane.

Human, Nature


What does it mean to be a part of—rather than apart from—nature? This book is about how we interact with wildlife and the ways in which this can make our lives richer and more fulfilling. But it also explores the conflicts and contradictions inevitable in a world that is now so completely dominated by our own species. Interest in wildlife and wild places, and their profound effects on human wellbeing, have increased sharply as we face up to the ongoing biodiversity extinction crisis and reassess our priorities following a global pandemic. Ian Carter, lifelong naturalist and a former bird specialist at Natural England, sets out to uncover the intricacies of the relationship between humans and nature. In a direct, down-to-earth style he explains some of the key practical, ethical and philosophical problems we must navigate as we seek to reconnect with nature. This wide-ranging and infectiously personal account does not shy away from controversial subjects—such as how we handle invasive species, reintroductions, culling or dog ownership—and reveals in stark terms that properly addressing our connection to the natural world is an imperative, not a luxury. Short, pithy chapters make this book ideal for dipping into. Meanwhile, it builds into a compelling whole as the story moves from considering the wildlife close to home through to conflicts and, finally, the joy and sense of escape that can be had in the wildest corners of our landscapes, where there is still so much to discover.
