Yamaha: the New Dawn
In the early 1960s, Japanese firm Yamaha, previously known as a musical instrument maker, took their first faltering steps into the arena of top flight motorcycle racing. They were comparative latecomers in this world, but soon made stars of riders like Phil Read and Bill Ivy. Their two-stroke engines developed quickly, and within a few short years they were challenging rivals Honda for the top places in the world’s most prestigious race, the Isle of Man TT. By the early 1970s, Yamaha had emerged from the shadow of their competitors to dominate Grand Prix motorcycle sport with their TZ models. More than this though, Yamaha democratised racing by building a machine that was both capable of winning, and also within the reach of any aspiring motorcycle racer. The engine was so versatile – and so effective – that it even lent itself to powering three wheeled machines, and a clutch of sidecar World Championships also fell to Yamaha as a result. The biggest names of the decade – Grant, Mortimer, Williams, O’Dell and Taylor – wrote their names in the TT history books under the Yamaha banner.
Soccer Scandals
It was Pelé who popularised the idea of football as ‘the Beautiful Game’ and so it is. But football also has its uglier side.As far back as the Edwardian era matches were ‘fixed’ to benefit gamblers, or to help clubs desperately in need of points to win promotion or to avoid relegation.There have been matches so brutal that on one occasion it was necessary for the BBC to precede televised highlights with a warning to viewers that what they were about see was ‘appalling, disgusting, disgraceful’.Crowd disorders, inadequate policing, and stadiums left in disrepair have resulted in loss of life and added to the scandals that have scarred ‘the Beautiful Game’ and caused public outrage.From Bolton to Brussels, Manchester to Montevideo, Seoul to Santiago, football has seen many dark chapters, many tragedies and more than a few shady characters, from the goalkeeper who offered not to ‘accidently’ let in goals to the referee who was arrested with 13lbs of heroin hidden in his underpants.Soccer Scandals: When the Beautiful Game Turned Ugly tells of the high-ranking officials who were at the centre of some of the most remarkable widespread corruptions that football has ever seen, of the betting rings involving unscrupulous players and referees, of doping, blackmail and phone taps, of ‘shameful savagery’ on the pitch and riots off it, even of suicide and attempted murder.It is the stuff of pulp fiction rather than of just games and goals and Saturday heroes. It is the ugly side of the game that Pelé found so beautiful.

Mercedes-Benz C 111
A comprehensive, insider history of the C 111, the most famous Mercedes never produced. In March 1969, the news that Daimler-Benz was developing a Wankel rotary-engine sports car hit like a bomb. Six months later, the C 111, with its fascinating design and brilliant driving performance, was the undisputed star of the Frankfurt International Motor Show. The new super sports car was immediately regarded as a worthy successor to the legendary 300 SL. Despite tremendous interest, Mercedes never put the vehicle into full production. Various C 111s appeared over the next decade, featuring different engines, tweaked aerodynamics, and other modern developments. Mercedes used the platform to chase records and test new technologies. Based on access to Mercedes-Benz past and current personnel and the extensive holdings of the Mercedes-Benz Group Archives, this is an authoritative history of the C 111 program. Highlights of this book include: • 520 pages that include more than 1,100 photos and diagrams, many of which have never left the Mercedes archives until now. • Features previously unpublished info and interviews with the people behind the car. • Documents the development of the C 111 in great detail and in depth for the first time. • Comprehensive documentation of the Vision One-Eleven show car. Inspired by the C 111 and unveiled in June 2023, it reinterprets the brand icon of the 1970s with breathtaking design and innovative drive technology. This authoritative history was made possible through the support of Mercedes-Benz Classic, which granted access to the Mercedes-Benz Group Archives, the C 111 cars in the company''s collection, and contemporary witnesses who formed the development in the 1960s and 1970s.

Dictionary of Royal Fleet Auxiliary ships from 1905
Royal Fleet Auxiliaries are distinctive in the maritime world – civilian-crewed Merchant Navy ships owned by the Crown working under naval orders. This Dictionary showcases both the famous and the often overlooked ships that have supported the Royal Navy during its prominence in the twentieth century.This comprehensively researched reference work presents a detailed guide to vessels, that in both peace and wartime were essential in the wide field of British maritime history – those that did battle in the Atlantic, Arctic, Mediterranean and Pacific Oceans and for the Falklands. This is a record of those ships along with details of marine and war losses from the traditional tankers taken up from commercial trade to the ships of today that are designed for the sophisticated and critical role of sea-going logistics support.The author is a recognised authority on the history and ships of the RFA. The Dictionary features some 430 RFA ships and 53 classes from the tanker Petroleum and hospital ship Maine of 1905 to the multi-role assets Proteus and Stirling Castle of 2023. Additionally there is information on 22 projected RFA vessels and equipment including the cancelled hospital ship whose material resources were diverted to aid construction of the Royal Yacht and the nuclear-powered replenishment tanker that remained on the drawing board.Comprehensively researched from official records, the ships are technically detailed from the Admiralty’s policy and planning through to their engineering, aviation decks and defensive armament. Where appropriate there is a summary of service and for the historical researcher each entry provides a list of the sources used by the author. The easy-to-read detail is supported by an abundance of photographs and drawings. Uniquely there is an appendix of 67 entries detailing those miscellaneous ships that are commonly but erroneously classed as RFAs.This authoritative work fills an important gap in shipping literature with no previous publication on these ships coming close to including the level of detail provided.

Breaking Titanic
At 11.40 p.m. on 14 April 1912, RMS Titanic struck an iceberg. She sank less than three hours later, taking around 1,500 people down with her. Devastated survivors provided conflicting information about her final hours – did she slip gracefully below the waves in one piece, or did she violently break apart?The answer would not be confirmed for seventy-three years.Breaking Titanic is the first comprehensive study of the break-up of Titanic’s hull. Using eyewitness accounts, underwater archaeology reports and data from computer simulations, Eugene Nesmeyanov presents a critical analysis of the most significant theories and models of the break-up, drawing his own conclusions based on the available body of evidence.

Zvládni to s managementem!
Psi přinášejí do našich životů spoustu radosti, ale jejich chování občas dokáže ztrpčovat život nám i našemu okolí - vyjíždění po cizích psech, skákání na lidi, hrabání v záhonech, štěkání na cokoli, co se objeví za plotem, loupeže v kuchyni – to vše může být skutečnou zatěžkávací zkouškou i pro jinak harmonický vztah mezi člověkem a psem.
Ale s tím vším vám pomůže management.
Základem této metody je prevence, tedy předcházení vzniku samotného problémového chování. Juliana DeWillemsová nabízí praktické a snadno proveditelné způsoby, které přímo snižují výskyt frustrujícího a nežádoucího chování pomocí promyšleného využívání prostředí kolem vás. Ve své knize vysvětluje, jak se psi učí, proč se často chovají tak, jak se chovají, a jak můžeme omezit chování, které si nepřejeme, nebo mu rovnou předejít.

Ako géniovia a šialenci zmenili F1 na najrýchlejšie rastúci šport na svete
V roku 2023 sa F1 zachránila pred kolapsom a konečne dobyla Ameriku pomocou úskokov, odvahy a predovšetkým nového pohľadu na to, čo má športové podujatie v ére veľkolepej zábavy prinášať. Motoristický šport znamenal pre Američanov dlhé roky iba preteky NASCAR a do menšej miery aj IndyCar. Formula 1 ako vrcholná a najbohatšia disciplína automobilových pretekov na svete sa vliekla v ich závese. Vzostup jej popularity, ktorý navonok pôsobí ako nečakaná náhoda, je v skutočnosti výsledkom dlhodobých premien a experimentov. Len vďaka nim má F1 v súčasnosti také výnimočné a zároveň krehké postavenie v športovom svete.
Joshua Robinson a Jonathan Clegg ponúkajú jedinečný pohľad do zákulisia historicky najvýznamnejších tímov a osobností F1 od Ferrari cez Bernieho Ecclestonea a Christiana Hornera až po Lewisa Hamiltona. Formula ponúka strhujúci portrét jazdcov, značiek, automobilov, súbojov a trúfalého riskovania, ktoré viac ako polovicu storočia formujú tento šport.
Z anglického originálu THE FORMULA: How Rogues, Geniuses, and Speed Freaks Reengineered F1 into the World's Fastest-Growing Sport (Mariner Books, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers, New York, 2024) preložil Martin Ruisl.

Latitudes
"McNeil''s deeply felt observations offer a transporting, thought-provoking lens on nature. It''s captivating stuff." Publishers Weekly
"Meditative and sumptuous… Latitudes is a rich, textured portrait of the natural world and a plaintive reflection on the destruction of climate change." Foreword Reviews
"Full of lived experience, this book ponders the question of our own animal relationship with the planet, between what we know and what we feel, between mind and body, instinct and intellect." Julia Bell, author of Massive and Hymnal
"Her shimmering prose brings into sharp focus the beauty of the remote places where we can glimpse – and sometimes hear – what our planet was like before us. And what it might be in the silence that will come after the frenzy of human dominance." Margie Orford
"This one has knocked me sideways: it''s, on a sentence-by-sentence level, honestly the best thing I''ve read this year." Georgina Godwin, Monocle Radio
Relating thirty years of living in and writing about some of the world''s last remaining wild places, Latitudes is a thrilling and thought-provoking exploration of a changing planet. At once memoir, journal and travelogue of Earth''s wildernesses, Latitudes ranges across the Antarctic, the Arctic, the savannahs and deserts of Africa, the Southern and Atlantic oceans and the boreal forests of Canada.
Latitudes is a powerful, innovative book of creative non-fiction that tracks one writer''s life-long experience of reckoning with an age of dramatic ecological loss. It shows us the importance of listening to the living world that is speaking to us, if we open ourselves to hear its voice.
