Wildly different
The globe-trotting tales of five women who fought for the right to enjoy the wild places of the earth.For millennia the ?wild? was a place heroic men went on epic quests. Women were prevented from joining them, either through physical control or powerful myths about what would happen if they ventured beyond the city wall or village boundary. So how did women claim their place in the remote and lovely parts of our planet? In Wildly different, historian Sarah Lonsdale traces the lives of five women who fought for the right to work in, enjoy and help to save the earth?s wild places. We?ll meet Mina Hubbard, who outraged the exploration community when she stepped into a canoe in northern Labrador. Evelyn Cheesman, who became the first female keeper of insects at London Zoo. Dorothy Pilley, who shocked polite society by donning men?s climbing breeches. Ethel Haythornthwaite, who helped make the Peak District Britain?s first National Park. And Wangari Maathai, who started a movement to plant millions of trees across sub-Saharan Africa. Drawing on interviews with Sir David Attenborough, Wangari Maathai?s daughter and others, Lonsdale recounts the women?s adventures across five continents. Evocative and inspiring, this book shows how women can be ?wildly different?.

The Big Fight
On a balmy July evening in 1972, to the sound of The Dubliners, Muhammad Ali climbed through the ropes to fight Al ? Blue? Lewis at Croke Park. The most famous athlete in the world had somehow been inveigled to Ireland by Butty Sugrue, a charismatic entrepreneur who was ridiculed for trying to do the impossible right up to the moment Ali and his entourage touched down at Dublin Airport. And so began a week of the most glorious mayhem, as ? the Champ? charmed the Irish people.Ali could be found jogging along Wicklow lanes, strolling into The Old Stand pub, chatting with street cleaners, and paying an early morning visit to the GPO to receive a history lesson about the Easter Rising. No matter where he fetched up, wonderful chaos ensued. Traffic stopped. Crowds gathered. The greatest show on earth had come to town.Through interviews with dozens of those Ali met and worked with over the course of those seven unforgettable days, Dave Hannigan has pieced together an enthralling narrative of one of the most unique events in Irish sporting history.

Pre zdravé včely a včelstvá
Včelárom sťažujú prácu nielen obávané choroby a ich spúšťače, akými sú napr. klieštiky Varroa, mor včelieho plodu alebo vijačky. Aj nové druhy patogénov, klimatické zmeny, prostriedky na ochranu rastlín a falšovanie vosku sú príčinou oslabovania včiel a celých včelstiev.

Theo?s time at Aberdeen was certainly eventful, with the manager who signed him sacked little more than six months after his arrival.

Which international superstar did Theo almost come to blows with in a so-called friendly match? What was his relationship really like with Willie Miller? Which club owner managed to transfer a player he didn?t even own? Who refused to postpone a game even though one of the players had just died? How does Theo feel about the game today, and how does it compare with his own playing days? All is revealed in this no-punches-pulled chronicle of Theo?s career, both in Scotland and Holland. A must-read for every Aberdeen fan!

Designing Boxes
Box-making expert Doug Stowe is back with a new spin on the classic box-making book. With an eye toward thoughtful design, this book walks the reader through the thought process they need to create beautiful and functional boxes. Designing Boxes offers many more design opportunities than would be possible in a book that attempts to be a “projects book.” Appealing to an audience that knows the basics of box making and is ready to expand their repertoire of projects, this book speaks to the woodworker who wants to develop plans of their own to meet their unique needs, express their own personalities, and gain confidence in their design skills. This is not your basic how-to book, but is instead, a bridge between how-to and why-to. Topics include: an exploration of the materials used in box making, the relationship between the material and the craftsman, how the tools and their relationship to the maker affect design, the growth of technique as it relates to the processes of design, and principles and elements of design storytelling. Projects include a variety of boxes as a gallery of how-to design information, as well as plans taking into consideration the idea of narrative and growth. Each section would include one or two boxes that help to illustrate the design ideas.
The Flying Adventures of Charles Green
The action-packed flying career of aeronaut Charles Green (1785-1870), a working-class Londoner in the infancy of aviation, who defied death in a career of 35 years and over 500 balloon flights to make a unique contribution to world aeronautical history. His decision, in 1821, to use domestic coal-gas to inflate balloons ran completely contrary to perceived wisdom, but his success in doing so revolutionised flying for the remainder of the Georgian and Victorian eras. His innovation set the direction of aeronautics for the next 80 years - until the Wright brothers changed its course again. Inventor, innovative balloon constructor, shrewd businessman, flamboyant showman and a skilled and courageous pilot, he was the first to put into practice the concept of public air travel. Charles liked a ‘tipple’ in the air - but never compromised safety - and made sure his passengers enjoyed his in-flight champagne hospitality. This earned him not only the status of a national treasure – whose very name was a by-word for all things aeronautic - but also ensured he became an international legend in his own lifetime.
Phenology
On the timing of seasonal activity in plants and animals, the impact of climate change, and what each of us, as everyday phenologists, can do to help.Phenology is all about timing?when trees leaf out, flowers bloom, birds migrate, animals bear young and hibernate?and it is everywhere around us. This handy companionable volume shows how we are all phenologists in our own way, and how the everyday science can help us make sense of the changing seasons and our changing world. Explaining how the phenomenon of phenology is threaded through our daily lives, Theresa Crimmins points to events that occur on an annual basis in plants? and animals? lives in response to fluctuations in daylength, temperatures, and rainfall patterns. She also covers less visible seasonal events, such as when roots typically begin to grow or when mushrooms release their spores. On a more urgent note, Phenology describes how this seasonal activity is being affected by rapidly changing climate conditions?and why this matters. Consequently, the book invites readers to participate in documenting the timing of seasonal life cycle events?for the practice?s real benefits to mental health, but also for the good of the environment, as the data gathered can be directly helpful in supporting climate change action.
Paddington to Birkenhead
One of the most diverse, complex and thus most interesting railway routes in the land. It set out as part of Brunel’s Great Western Railway plan to cover the country in Broad Gauge tracks but, faced with competition from its great rival, the London and North Western Railway, the Broad Gauge never got beyond Wolverhampton and eventually succumbed to the four feet, eight and a half inches proponents. However, by then the GWR had established itself as the principal provider of passenger and freight trains between London and Birkenhead, on the west bank of the Mersey, facing, and on occasions, snarling at, the LNWR opposite. Its most powerful locomotives, the Kings, powered its expresses from 1927 until the end of steam as far as Birmingham and Wolverhampton, whilst Stanier Pacifics worked those between Euston and Liverpool Lime Street. The route passes through the manicured fields and hunting country of the Chilterns, then plunges into that was once the deeply industrial, polluted but still productive Black Country, before emerging into Shropshire, now essentially rural but where the Industrial Revolution may be said to have originated. As the line approaches the important junction of picturesque Shrewsbury, possessor of a station built out over the River Severn and the largest traditionally worked signal box in the world, the Welsh mountains appear on the western horizon. The line then enters the Principality before returning to England at Chester, and the final stretch, along the banks of the Mersey, to journey’s end.

Cranswick on Classic Chevrolet Corvette 1953-1996
Rome wasn?t built in a day, and, similarly, the dream of developing a world class American sports car took time and effort. Harley Earl and Ed Cole gave Corvette a push start, and Zora Arkus Duntov took the Plastic Fantastic into orbit, based on the combination of excellent design and hardware, as well as the racing achievements that followed. Once established, the Corvette became a Chevrolet icon, utilised by Bow Tie and GM marketing to benefit the automaker. However, Corvette was no loss leader, it earned its keep and the respect of industry commentators. The Corvette maintained all these qualities despite the triple whammy of insurance rate hikes, emissions controls and fuel crises, and survived into the ?80s with a fresh design that took on all sports car competitors.Archive images, independent testing, and the viewpoints of Chevrolet and auto industry personalities illustrate the rise and rise of America?s only sports car, including a substantial mid-engine genesis. Marc Cranswick?s original commentary pays homage to the Corvette as an enduring glamor icon and the ultimate dream machine!
