40 Motoring Heroes
> How did an English pub inspire a legendary road safety feature?> Which F1 driver had to wear leg braces as a young boy in hospital, yet started his own winning team?> What prompted a young woman from Alabama to invent the windscreen wiper?> Who was the “bloody fool” from Yorkshire who master-minded the VW Beetle’s rise from the ashes of the Second World War?40 Motoring Heroes offers a fact-filled, illustrated insight into motoring history, not only for petrol heads and motoring enthusiasts, but anyone with a passion for fascinating people. The little-known men and women featured include inventors, innovators, engineers, financiers, and others at the sharp end of automotive and social history. Their stories shine a light on ingenuity, determination, fights against prejudice, and even bravery, self-sacrifice and destitution. Of course, being a motoring hero does not equate with sainthood or even likeability; a fair number of the book’s subjects demonstrated unpleasant human qualities but we acknowledge their professional achievements. Not all made fortunes out of their ideas, but their ideas added to the wealth of our enjoyment of motoring. Compelling, intriguing and full of surprise, the must-read biographies in 40 Motoring Heroes showcase the struggles, adversity and perseverance of these motoring marvels.

Futball-VB-könyv
"Vannak, akik azt hiszik, a futball olyannyira fontos, hogy úgyszólván élet-halál kérdése. Mindig elszomorít, ha ilyen véleményt hallok. Biztosíthatok mindenkit: a futball sokkal, de sokkal fontosabb."
Bill Shankly ikonikus Liverpool-menedzser mondatai elsőre talán túlzásnak tűnhetnek. De ha valami, akkor a férfi labdarúgó-világbajnokság kevesebb mint százéves története azt bizonyítja, hogy a skót szakember szavaiban van igazság.
Erről mi, magyarok is tudunk mesélni. Sok történész egyetért abban: ahogyan "a berni csoda", az Aranycsapat váratlan legyőzése visszaadta az NSZK identitását a világháborús sokk, a mérhetetlen bűnök ellenére, úgy Magyarországon a vereség hozzájárult egy sötét korszakban érlelődő társadalmi kiábrándulási folyamathoz.
A világbajnokság biztosan több mint szimpla sportesemény. Érinti azonosságunkat, hiszen a siker növeli nemzeti büszkeségünket. De érinti érzelmeinket is. Várakozás, remény, eufória, gyász, nosztalgia: a futball könyörtelen, sokszor igazságtalan érzelmi hullámvasút.
Nem utolsósorban: a világbajnokság fantasztikus közösségi élmény. A közös meccsnézéseken és "kanapészakértések" során szerzett emberi kapcsolatok, az arénákban átélt együttes ünneplés vagy boldogtalanság mind erősíti a társadalmi összetartozást.
Az események súlyát részben az adja, hogy a futball-vb-t csak négyévente rendezik, így a rendszer némileg cáfolja a churchilli igazságot: a győzelem itt végleges, a vereség pedig igenis végzetes. Az is emeli a tétet, hogy a sportág legnagyobbjainak egy része nem vált világbajnokká. Az ő kudarcuk is hozzájárult a siker súlyához. Nélkülözhetetlen eleme Pelé, Beckenbauer, Maradona, Zidane, a brazil Ronaldo és Messi karrierjének megítélésében a vb-trófea elhódítása, viszont Puskásnak, Cruyffnak, Zicónak vagy Cristiano Ronaldónak nem adatott meg e meghatározó élmény, pedig ugyanazt a minőséget képviselték, mint a felsorolt győztesek.
E könyv most mindannyiuknak méltó emléket állít; azoknak a kiváló sportembereknek, akik mindent megtettek azért, hogy ezek a tornák örökké felejthetetlenek legyenek. Meg azoknak a rendkívüli pillanatoknak, amelyekről minden futballszurkolónak tudnia kell. S ki is írhatná meg hitelesebben a labdarúgó-világbajnokságok hazai krónikáját, mint Hegyi Iván, aki 1986 óta szinte minden tornát a helyszínről közvetített. Hegyi Iván több mint negyven éve a magyar sportújságírás meghatározó alakja, aki a sportág iránti töretlen lelkesedésével, egyedi humorával és szakértelmével teszi ezt a kiadványt olyanná, hogy egyetlen, a futballt szenvedélyesen szerető embernek sem hiányozhat a polcáról.
A leghihetetlenebb Barca-történetek
Més que un club - több mint egy klub. Ezt a szlogent sehol a világon nem kell "megmagyarázni" a szurkolóknak, egyértelmű, hogy a Barçára vonatkozik. De abból a sok különleges történetből, amelyet magában rejt, vajon hányat ismernek?
Tudják, hogy az 1943-as El Clásico után kezdődött el igazán a rivalizálás a Barcelona és a Real Madrid között? Talán már az is a történelem homályába vész, hogy Kubala csak úgy ment bele a szerződtetésébe, ha a csapat edzője a sógora lesz. Hogyan élték meg a játékostársak a gólkirály Quini elrablását, és milyen szeszélyei voltak Cruyffnak? Kiderül, mi kell egy jó elnökválasztási kampányhoz, és az is, hogy a vezetőség tényleg bosszúból rúgta-e ki a keret szinte valamennyi játékosát egy nyári szünet alatt. Mi vezetett ahhoz, hogy Ronaldinho számára fontosabb lett az éjszakai élet a labdarúgásnál? Választ kaphatunk szövevényes átigazolási ügyekre, mint Neymaré vagy Luis Suárezé, sőt arra is, hogy Guardiola miért festményként látta a futballt. Mennyi esélye volt annak, hogy a klubrekorder Messi egy olyan babát fürdet meg, aki Yamal néven később a nyomába érhet?
A könyvben szereplő több száz rövid sztori a gránátvörös-kékek leghihetetlenebb momentumait mutatja be.

Radost v každém oku
DESET PLETACÍCH NÁVODŮ. DVĚ JEHLICE. SPOUSTA RADOSTI.
Pletení je pro mě mnohem víc než jen koníček – je to způsob jak se zastavit a zhluboka nadechnout. Je to moje chvilka ticha v hlučícím světě, záblesk radosti v každodenním shonu. Můžete při něm dát průchod svému tvůrčímu já, nebo naopak vypnout a odreagovat se u jednoduchého, opakujícího se vzoru.
A přesně to najdete v mé knize: deset pletacích návodů na větší i menší doplňky, z nichž každý má vlastní příběh a duši a každý nabízí něco jiného. Některé hrají všemi barvami jarního soumraku, jiné tiše šeptají v hukotu orknejských vichrů. Některé inspirovalo burácení vodopádů, jiné nenápadná krása jinovatky, ale všechny mají něco společného: lásku k přírodě, barvám a textuře.
Ať už pletete celé roky, zrovna se k pletení vracíte, nebo na tuhle úžasnou cestu plnou vlněných smyček teprve nastupujete, doufám, že si s mojí knihou užijete spoustu krásných chvil, protože pletení je hlavně o radosti z tvoření.
Desatero originálních pletacích designů od spoluautorky populárního youtube podcastu Knit & Talk.

The Chain
''Back in 2012, everyone knew who Bradley Wiggins was. Everyone, that is, but me. Thirteen years after the summer that defined me, I have finally defined myself. The disguises have gone. I''ve made peace with myself.''Think you know Bradley Wiggins? Think again.Bradley Wiggins is the greatest British cyclist of his generation. A national hero on both track and road, he won five Olympic gold medals, eight world titles and the Tour de France.But his is a story mired in contradiction, controversy, and confusion. Sat on a throne after winning gold at London 2012, just ten days after becoming the first Briton to win the Tour de France, here was a man with the world at his feet. Sporting hero. People’s champion. Legend. Everyone knew who ‘Wiggo’ was. Everyone, that is, but him.Bradley’s own truth was one of a chaotic and disturbing upbringing characterised by abandonment and abuse. The bike had been his escape but he knew that the second he got out of the saddle he was a shadow-man with no self-belief and even less self-worth.With zero confidence in his value as a human being, attention was his worst nightmare. Bradley’s answer was to wear a mask. He became ‘Sir Wiggo’, the loveable rogue, the disguise slowly suffocating the real him, crushing the last few remnants of self-esteem.Bradley descended into a deep personal despair marked by drug addiction. It was his lowest point, and one which, he freely admits, could have resulted in his death.Bradley’s saviour has been himself. Incredibly he found the strength to embark on a remarkable journey of self-discovery during which he faced his greatest ever opponent – the demons inside his head. In so doing he reached an understanding of what and who he is.The result is this powerful memoir, The Chain.It is a journey he now wants to share. He wants others to understand they are not alone in their mental battles; that embracing honesty and openness is the key to personal happiness.Bradley Wiggins has cast aside his fragile shell. Now, as the person he always wanted to be, he has become an inspiration to us all. Forget the jerseys, the medals. Finally, Bradley Wiggins is who he is, in his own skin. He has broken the chain.

Bournemouth Corporation Transport and Yellow Buses
This is an illustrated history of Bournemouth Corporation Transport. The first trams ran in Bournemouth in 1902 but the struggle to introduce trams into the Bournemouth and Poole area started in the 1880s. The first buses ran in 1906, under the name of Yellow Buses, named after the colour of their livery. During the 1930s there was a period of transition from trams to trolleybuses. The new vehicles were met with great excitement and ran to the late 1960s, before another change to diesel buses. The bright-yellow-liveried vehicles were a distinctive sight on the streets of Bournemouth, although under a change of ownership when Bournemouth Council sold the majority of its shares to Transdev in 2005, running under the name of Transdev Yellow Buses, which in turn sold to RATP, operating again as Yellow Buses, until the day in 2022 when Yellow Buses went into administration and were bought out, bringing to an end 120 years of history in this seaside city on England’s South Coast.

The Last Gladiator
The incredible career of the forgotten but foundational pro wrestler who shaped American sports culture. William Muldoon was an infamous athlete whose prowess and savvy across his six-decade career led him to wealth, cultural importance, and political power. Muldoon, the child of poor Irish immigrants, began wrestling in the 1870s and quickly became one of the most famous athletes of the post-Civil War era. He started acting and modeling as his popularity grew, making him one of the first sports stars to achieve crossover success. After a triumphant stint rehabilitating fallen boxing heavyweight champion John L. Sullivan in 1889, he retired from the ring and began a new career as a fitness impresario, founding an elite gymnasium and remaking himself as a health authority in the press. He became trainer to the rich, famous, and politically powerful, which led to his appointment as chair of the New York State Athletic Commission in the 1920s. From this position, Muldoon exerted his influence over the rules of boxing and wrestling and weaponized his power to maintain segregation in sport. The Last Gladiator is a deep, insightful dive into Muldoon’s life and impact, demonstrating the significance of this often-controversial figure in the development of American sports, professional wrestling, and physical and popular culture.
