Birdland
A joyous celebration of Britain’s rich bird life In Birdland, journalist and lifelong birder Jon Gower explores our intimate connection with the bird life around us. From the symphonic song of the wren to the clack of a puffin’s beak and from epic migrations to sunset murmurations, birds are commonplace miracles. No wonder they have inspired our artists, writers and songwriters. Whether rare or abundant, Jon Gower visits some of the best places in Britain to watch birds, searching for some species he has always wanted to see such as wryneck, dotterel and barred warbler. But all is not well in Birdland. Gower charts the many changes to Britain’s bird life over the last 50 years, as the countryside has seemingly emptied and in many ways fallen silent. He considers the effects of the climate emergency, the decline in biodiversity and warming oceans on birdlife and looks at work being done to mitigate these developments. But above all it is a celebration of birds and their being, and a call to arms to defend them. As Great Bustards return to our plains and eagles to our mountains, Jon Gower’s book examines the future from a bird’s-eye view.

These tools empower creators to design layered personalities, intricate backstories, and compelling motives that enrich any campaign setting.

Bandidos
This is the story of the Bandidos Motorcycle Club, penned by their National Presidente, Tony Vartiainen of Australasia and is a look at how the club started through to the future. It begins with the club's inception, featuring original members from over 40 years sharing their first-hand experiences. The story progresses to the tragic day at Milperra, which resulted in the deaths of seven individuals and led to one of Australia's longest-running trials. It discusses how the members dealt with the trial and the tragic death of the President Snotty in Parklea jail. With rare photographs of the club and its members, this book details how the organisation endured its early challenges, particularly during the trials following Milperra. It illustrates their resilience as they rebuilt the club, persevering through adversity—from murdered presidents to attacks on their clubhouses. Today, they continue to fight for their right to ride together, maintaining an unbroken brotherhood founded on love, loyalty, and respect. Everything written in this book is authorised by the club and its Presidente Tony Vartiainen.
Forever Forward
Few names in motorsports carry the same authority as McLaren and, although in recent years their performance hadn't living up to the legend, they have now returned to form in a spectacular way under the leadership of Zak Brown.
Going into 2023, Brown's team were the ninth quickest on the grid only to end it as arguably the second fastest, after a dramatic mid-season turnaround. It was only in 2024 that lead driver Lando Norris achieved his first ever Grand Prix win in Miami. The following year he became world champion.
Zak Brown took over a failing team from Ron Dennis in 2018, and his dynamic leadership style has seen astounding results. McLaren are on the rise again, looking to a future that will echo its haloed past, when James Hunt, Alain Prost, Niki Lauda, Ayrton Senna and Lewis Hamilton drove the team into the history books. Here they go again.
The McLaren motto is 'Forever Forward', and their story is all about the underdog taking on the big boys of F1. The author looks back at McLaren's origin story, as their heritage is such a big part of their identity, but his main mission is going behind the scenes to give us the inside track on the team's extraordinary resurgence under Brown, and their thrilling bid for victory.

Akvarista zsebkönyv - Kezdő akvaristák számára
"Kifejlett halaknál a napi egynél több etetés káros lehet, fennáll a túltáplálás veszélye, illetve a vizet is jelentősen szennyezi a lehulló, el nem fogyasztott eleség."
Az akvarisztika olyan hobbi, amelynek Magyarországon nincsen jelentősebb szakirodalma, és ami van, az sem örök érvényű, mivel főleg a kiegészítő technikák (megvilágítás, szűrés, levegőztetés, fűtés) terén folyamatos a fejlődés. Sokan úgy tartják, hogy költségesebb hobbi, mint bármilyen más háziállat tartása, sokkal több vesződséggel jár, és több bosszúságot okoz, mint örömet. Ráadásul egy kutyát, egy macskát vagy a legnépszerűbb otthon tartott rágcsálókat lehet simogatni, dédelgetni, elhalmozni őket szeretetünk megnyilvánulásaival, amit ők a maguk módján viszonoznak is. A madarakkal is lehet játszadozni, gyönyörködni a hangjukban, főleg ha énekesmadarunk van. A halakról viszont hajlamosak vagyunk azt hinni, hogy nem hálálják meg figyelmünket és törődésünket. Az Akvarista zsebkönyv egyik célja, hogy rávilágítson eme hobbi szépségére, és bebizonyítsa, hogy az akvarisztikával kapcsolatos előítéletek igazságtalanok és megalapozatlanok. A gyakorlott akvaristák tudják, hogy egy körültekintően beüzemelt akvárium csak induláskor igényel némi befektetést, működtetése a legfontosabb alapelvek betartása mellett nem jár sem jelentős anyagi, sem számottevő időráfordítással. Cserébe viszont a víz alatti élővilágba nyerünk folyamatos bepillantást, például megfigyelhetjük, hogyan élnek, táplálkoznak és szaporodnak az egyes trópusi halfajok. Egy vérbeli akvarista számára mindig óriási élmény nyomon követni az ivadékok születését és fejlődését, akár elevenszülő, akár ikrával szaporodó halakról van szó. Az akvarisztika türelemre, az élővilág és a természet egyensúlyának tiszteletére tanítja meg az embert, arra, hogy még egy parányi élőlénnyel, egy néhány centis hallal sem bánhatunk szívtelenül.
Talán nincs is még egy olyan, az állattartással kapcsolatos hobbi, mint az akvarisztika, ahol a személyes tapasztalatoknak ennyire nagy szerepük lenne. A fiatal szerző, Fazekas Simon több mint húsz éve foglalkozik akvarisztikával, személyes otthoni tapasztalatai az évek során szakbolti eladóként szerzett tapasztalataival egészültek ki. Könyve elsősorban azoknak szól, akik már rászánták magukat erre a hobbira, és esetleg szereztek is néhány szomorú tapasztalatot. Nekik próbál segíteni azzal, hogy kérdés-felelet formájában végigmegy a leggyakoribb problémákon, rámutat azok okaira, a megoldás és a későbbi megelőzés lehetőségeire. Nem kötelezi el magát semmilyen márka mellett, sőt inkább azon az állásponton van, hogy nem mindig a legdrágább a legjobb és legideálisabb. Legfontosabbnak azt tartja, hogy az akvarista eldöntse, mit is szeretne, és figyelembe vegye azt, hogy egy-egy akváriumban mennyi hal tartható ideális körülmények között, melyiknek mik az igényei, és mely fajokat nem tanácsos ugyanabban az akváriumban összeengedni. Nem csupán saját tapasztalatait osztja meg, hanem egy lelkes akvarista közösségét is, amelynek az olvasó is tagja lehet. A jobb megértést a közösség tagjai által készített látványos fotók is elősegítik. Egy rendben tartott, gondosan beüzemelt akvárium nemcsak csodálatos dísze lehet a lakásnak, hanem megnyugtatóan hat a lélekre is; általa a természet flórájának és faunájának egy részletét csempészhetjük be a nagyváros betonrengetegébe.

In Botanical Time
How do some plants live for thousands of years? Which adaptations and evolutionary strategies allow them to thrive in some of the harshest places on the planet for so long—and so well? Renowned plantsman, author, and longtime botanical garden designer Christopher Woods takes readers on a popular science exploration of twenty-three of the world’s most amazing species, seeking answers to these questions by explaining their incredible survival mechanisms. Woods emphasizes how human cultures have interacted with plants over time and what we may, critically, be able to learn from them about sustainability in extreme climates. Some species will be familiar to readers, while some are outright surprising—such as the aptly named Welwitschia mirabilis, which lives happily in the Namib Desert for up to two thousand years, although many of those years receive zero precipitation. With over two hundred color images and lively, accessible text, In Botanical Time highlights fascinating facts about each charismatic plant, encouraging conservation for these species and leading us toward larger lessons about the rapidity with which humans have caused—and are causing—species to adapt. "Woods' compassion for these trees, shrubs, and herbaceous wonders shines on every page."—AHS American Gardener Magazine
Tifo: The Art of Football Fan Stickers
A lone PSG sticker on a North-London Street sign; the towering Maradona mural that watches over Naples. Europe’s fan-made canvases tell football’s biggest stories. Timed perfectly for World-Cup fever, Tifo: The Art of Football Fan Stickers—Revised & Expanded presents 500 plus images from over 100 clubs, printed on premium matte-art stock and bound in a linen-wrapped hardback with foil stamping. Stickerbomb founders Suridh Hassan and Ryo Sanada spent more than two years tracking down these graphics and the tales behind them: the unlikely bond between Boavista and Aberdeen, St Pauli’s anti-fascist iconography, Sevilla’s surprising love affair with Karl Marx, and how Parma became entangled in Europe’s biggest bankruptcy scandal. Insightful essays by award-winning journalist James Montague and Design Museum curator Eleanor Watson deepen the cultural and historical context. Equal parts visual archive and behind-the-scenes anecdote Tifo is the ultimate gift for ground-hoppers, quiz-night champions and anyone who bleeds club colours.
On Sports
What are sports, really? What do we love about them? And what, in our digital age, have they becom? n Sports reads like a conversation between friends at the ballpark in those golden days before the kiss cam and college co-eds with T-shirt cannons spoiled the fun; a book that feels like the sun on your forehead and the breeze in your hair, beer and laughter on your lips; a book that celebrates communion and friendship and the beauty of these games—whether it be baseball or football or soccer or tennis or cricket—that we’ve designed to distract ourselves from the end of the world. It’s about what 7Up tastes like when drunk from the Grey Cup, how much work it takes for talent to shine, and the near impossibility of language to properly capture athletic excellence. It’s about the beauty of good sports copy, the ephemerality of even the biggest sports story, and how sport remains perpetually powered by the eleven-year-old in all of us. It’s a book about rediscovering the spirit of sport, before online gambling and the manufactured spectacle of today’s professional sports suffocates the last of it; and it’s about where that spirit today is best found.

Tears for England
Tears for England is the story of the last 50 years of England’s football team observed through the eyes of a journalist and obsessive fan. It interweaves the team’s fortunes with the author’s life story, starting with his first memories of football in the mid-1970s. From Keegan’s miss in 1982 and Maradona’s ‘Hand of God’ in 1986, to the 2018 penalty shoot-out triumph and Ollie Watkins’s semi-final winner in Euro 2024, it chronicles England’s occasional triumphs and frequent woes, showing why football is so important and the imprint it has on our national psyche. The author has a journalist’s eye for a story, yet is at heart a fan who never stops dreaming, and who, through life’s up and downs, successes and disasters, finds his mind constantly tracking back to that miss by Paul Gascoigne in 1996, Kane’s ballooned penalty against France in 2022, and many other ‘if only’ moments. Tears for England is a glorious page-turner for football fans, young and old, and a fascinating read for those keen to understand why England football matters so much.
A Reed Shaken with the Wind
Reveals the environmental and historical pressures shaping an essential stretch of land and water in the American West A Reed Shaken with the Wind tells the story of the Bear River Marsh, freshwater and sheltered grasslands on the northeast end of the Great Salt Lake with a complex past. Despite being one of Utah’s most renowned hunting and birdwatching locations, the marsh today holds only a shadow of its former ecological vitality. Tracing the marsh from its creation during the last ice age to its current status as an imperiled national wildlife refuge, Andrew Hedges draws on geology, ecology, archaeology, wildlife biology, and water resource management to explore the natural and human forces that shaped the marsh and contributed to its decline. Covering Indigenous relationships with land, market economies’ impacts, and the intersection of ecology, science, and politics in establishing the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge, this volume deepens discussions of humanity’s place in the environment and efforts to restore balance with our planet.
Kicking
As a poet, public-facing scholar of sports politics, and former professional soccer player, having represented the United States on the men’s U23 national soccer team, Jules Boykoff draws on his lifetime of athletic experience to reflect on the practice of kicking. With short vignettes blending the personal, the reflective, the historical, and the analytical, Kicking is uniquely positioned to reflect on the most popular sport in the world. From the act of kicking a soccer ball, Boykoff looks outward to his own family history, including his mother’s struggle with polio, which fed her insistence on his athleticism; to broader trends like greenwashing and sportwashing; and to reflections on sport’s toxic masculinity, the poetics of on-field revenge, and the power-politics of both the men’s and women’s World Cups. Kicking is a must-read for all those who love the beautiful game.
