Mad Dog
Mad Dog is the riotous, adventurous and moving story of Mickey Lewis, one of English football''s most combative midfielders and then one of the game''s most inspirational coaches.Drawing on more than 100 hours of interviews and with a foreword from Lewis?s close friend Jim Rosenthal, this is an exploration of what Lewis?s legacy can teach us about leadership, life and the game we love.With a playing career that spanned two decades and 400 games, for his fans Lewis was ?Mad Dog?: tamer of Gascoigne and, ultimately, an Oxford United legend. For Sir Bobby, allegedly, he ruined the beautiful game one tackle at a time.After hanging up his boots, Mickey became one of football?s most inspirational coaches. His great love for the game took him to Iowa and the burgeoning American soccer scene, to Wembley with Oxford United, and to nearly 20 Varsity Matches at the helm of the Oxford University ?Blues?.
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.

The Kent & East Sussex Railway, 1974-2004
Over thirty years ago Nick Pallant told the story of the struggle to save one of Britain''s best loved heritage railways in Holding the Line – Preserving the Kent & East Sussex Railway (Alan Sutton Publishing). That book concluded its detailed coverage with the partial reopening of the K&ESR in 1974. This new account continues the story over the thirty years which followed.The first 12 chapters mainly rely on secondary sources, particularly the K&ESR''s house journal, the Tenterden Terrier. Later chapters describe the years after he returned as a volunteer following over two decades as an ''armchair'' member and includes his subsequent experiences as a K&ESR employee and Company Secretary.The key points in the story are the extensions to the line which followed the reopening of a short section in 1974. There is also coverage of the scheme to rebuild the ''lost'' section between Bodiam and the national network at Robertsbridge. The growth of passenger traffic is detailed along with all the problems and achievements encountered along the way. The narrative is intertwined with anecdotes of heritage railway life in all its hopes, frustrations, humour and comradeship.Having begun by briefly recalling the K&ESR''s history prior to 1974, the book puts matters into further perspective by concluding with a summary of the major events from 2004 to the third decade of the 21st century.

Miniature Passenger Hauling Railways
The objective of this book is to share the pleasures provided by miniature railways of all sizes and encourage anyone wanting to build an engine or railway to ’have a go’.The book describes how the author embarked on such projects with great enthusiasm and passion, but with little knowledge. It confirms that ‘where there is a will, there is a way’ and knowledge will follow. The author found himself on a ‘voyage of discovery’, supported by joining clubs, talking to people, asking questions and then simply ‘having a go’. You don’t need to be an engineer to make a start and many outstanding engines and railways have been built by people from all walks of life. How to choose the most appropriate design and what equipment will be required to succeed is discussed.Steps are presented for building a steam locomotive, an electric locomotive, rolling stock and finally track, all illustrated by photographs and drawings to inform, guide, and encourage.It reviews some published steam locomotive designs and shows how they can be modified to perform better, using modern analytical techniques.Operating a miniature passenger hauling railway is great fun. Lessons learned are shared through all the activities in the book. Everything can be achieved by enthusiasm, a willingness to learn and a commitment to overcome challenges.Have a read, join a club, cut metal and embark on your own ‘voyage of discovery’!And remember -- Engineering is a great and exciting profession!

The Age of Deer
A stag leaps on an ancient brooch. A doe and a fawn step across a field at first light. A pair of antlers is silhouetted by the side of a busy road.From the earliest cave paintings to the present day, humans and deer have a long and complex history. Royal harts were the coveted quarry of European kings, while the first Americans relied on deer for everything from buckskins to arrow heads. Once hunted to the point of extinction in some parts of the world, deer numbers have exploded in recent years, causing tension between scientists and conservationists. And yet, this is our own story, as the fortune of deer is inextricably bound up with the actions that we humans take on the world around us.Weaving together history and reportage, in The Age of Deer Erika Howsare deftly explores the relationship between our two species in the line where wildness meets humankind. It is a reminder of the poetry and violence of the natural world, from an exciting new voice in nature writing.

G T 3 The Unrealised Dream
During the 1930s, with the end of steam locomotion being actively considered, many looked to develop engines powered by diesel and electricity. But for the coming of war in 1939, and the acute recession that followed, much more might have been accomplished. Nevertheless, the die had been cast and during the late 1940s and 1950s designers stepped up their efforts to find efficient and effective alternatives to steam. Amongst their number was John Hughes who, whilst working for English Electric designing turbine engines, saw how this power source might be used to drive locomotives. In part he was encouraged in these endeavours by William Stanier’s 1935 introduced Pacific ‘Turbomotive’ and wished to continue this experiment and exploit its potential more fully.For some the development of diesel and electric engines was the only logical course to take, but not Hughes who doggedly pursued his dream of seeing gas turbine engines dominating Britain’s railway network. Despite many setbacks, and lack of funds, he refused to give up and eventually saw his locomotive, GT3, built and then begin a prolonged period of trial running. But having finally achieved this ambition, the powers that be decided that the experiment had gone far enough and would go no further, much to Hughes’ anger and frustration.This is a ‘what might have been story’ which, although ultimately unsuccessful, tells us much about the nature of design engineering and the need for determined, radical thinkers who are prepared to push back scientific boundaries. In this case GT3 came close to being the first of a type of engine that might have changed the direction Britain’s railways took as steam came to an end. As such it is a near miss worthy of remembrance.To aid this work Hughes left a unique archive of documents, drawings and photos, in public and private hands, to help us understand the nature of his work and what drove him on despite the long odds he faced.

A Visual History of Motorhomes
Following on from Andrew’s A Visual History of Caravans, this new title takes a look at the motorhome’s heritage, spanning over 100 years. The motorhome is a popular leisure vehicle with an ever-growing demand in the UK as well as abroad. From the early designs often built by one-man bands, this book shows how the motorhome was to evolve in the 1920s but was to be outsold by the popularity of the touring caravan. Images from all decades are mainly from the author’s own vast archives, while some have been loaned and supplied from motorhome industry personnel. These pictures demonstrate how the motorhome developed with the advent of smaller chassis cabs from the 1950s major manufacturers such as Bedford, Austin, Morris and Ford.Covering UK-brand motorhomes as well imported models, the book shows how different UK tastes were to the imported makes. Although not an A-Z of motorhomes book, the author has chosen images that represent as many manufacturers as possible. Andrew includes some rare images of coachbuilt motorhomes and shows how the motorhome boom began in the mid-1960s. With the further development of chassis cab designs in the 70s with brands such as Commer, Toyota and Leyland more manufacturers of motorhomes would emerge as the boom carried on.Caravan’s International motorised division was re-named Autohomes, and became the biggest UK manufacturer of coachbuilt motorhomes, going on to also be built in Germany. Well-known maker Dormobile concentrated on campervans, though several coachbuilt motorhomes such as the classic-looking Debonair were produced. From those early days, A Visual History of Motorhomes will make interesting reading to motorhome users, showing how the leisure vehicle took shape.
English Electric Type 2 Bo-Bo 'Baby Deltic' Locomotives
The British Railways ‘Pilot Scheme’ orders of 1955 included ten English Electric Type 2 diesel-electric locomotives deploying Napier ‘Deltic’ engines. These locomotives, more colloquially known as the ‘Baby Deltics’, were introduced into traffic during 1959 for use on the Eastern Region of British Railways. This book looks at the history of the Class 23s, making extensive use of available but previously unpublished archive material, covering their introduction, technical idiosyncrasies, appearance design and performance. Issues with the original ‘Deltic’ engines were ultimately dealt with via a major rehabilitation exercise during the 1963-65 period; whilst various re-engining options were considered , including a new ‘U’ series English Electric high-speed engine design, the original Napier engines were ultimately retained. The work involved in the whole rehabilitation process is discussed in detail using internal English Electric archive material and forms a central focus of research. The fleet survived intact until 1968, when withdrawal commenced as a direct result of declining traffic levels across the UK, with successive National Traction Plans progressively selecting the less successful, non-standard and ‘numerically-challenged’ classes for removal from traffic. All ten locomotives were withdrawn by March 1971. Individual locomotive histories, allocations, fire and accident incidents, liveries and detail differences, storage and disposals are provided for each locomotive.
The Light Railway
The light Railways Act 1896 marked the final phase in the development of the traditional railway in Britain, being designed to open up rural areas of Britain that had been bypassed by the larger railway companies.The promoting and construction of light railways allowed many parts of Britain and Ireland, to have an outlet to the outside world and major cities, which previously they had not enjoyed.The Light Railway is not designed to be a definitive history, but a pictorial tribute to the brave attempt to develop a rural network of lines to serve some of the areas of the British Isles and Ireland that had sadly been neglected by the large main line companies throughout the initial and later railway development period from 1825 to 1896.This volume looks at the railways themselves, motive power and infrastructure that made up these small but important lines, promoted by our Victorian and Edwardian ancestors.

Porsche Sports Racing Prototypes 1963–1971
Between the 1950s and 1971, the halcyon days of long-distance endurance motor racing, Porsche embodied the up-and-coming manufacturer, progressing inexorably from reliable class-winner to outright victor – a platform they consolidated and never rescinded. This book focuses on the six distinct Porsche models that raced from 1963 to 1971. Porsche created a series of racing cars – the 904, 906, 910, 907, 908 and 917 – to run in the FIA-regulated International Sports Car Championship Group 6 Prototype class, the Group 4 World Sportscar Championship, and European Hillclimb Championship events held during that period. These races lasted either 24 hours, 12 hours or 6 hours, or were categorised by distance: 1,000km, 500km or 500 miles. Events took place annually at European tracks including Le Mans, Nürburgring, Monza, Spa-Francorchamps and Brands Hatch, and in the USA at Daytona and Sebring. Chronicling each season, this visually stunning volume records Porsche’s multitude of successes. With over 300 outstanding images, many previously unseen, including professional photos and factory archive pictures, and featuring interviews with heroic Porsche racing drivers – with the Foreword written by two-times Le Mans winner Gijs van Lennep – this book tells the thrilling story of Porsche’s rise from consistent class-winner to incontrovertible outright victor.
