Lotus Europa


The Lotus Europa was Colin Chapman and Lotus’ first mid-engined road car, and was produced from 1966 through to 1975.

With owners’ impressions and interviews with ex-Lotus employees, the book provides a valuable insight into owning, running, and racing these iconic cars.

Zlatostříbrná fotbalová alej


Knížka vydavatelství BLINKR má jednoznačnou přednost v autentičnosti líčení všech událostí. Není kompilativní, ačkoliv časové odstupy jsou značné. Má jednak retrospektivní vztah k nejslavnějším úspěchům českého fotbalu, jimiž jsou mistrovství světa 1962 v Chile (stříbrné medaile), mistrovství Evropy ve fotbale 1976 (50. výročí) v Záhřebu a Bělehradě (bývalá Jugoslávie) a mistrovství Evropy ve fotbale 1996 (EURO 1996 – 30. výročí) v Anglii (stříbrné medaile). Jednoznačným motivem k vydání této publikace je aktuální mistrovství světa 2026 v USA, Kanadě a Mexiku (11. 6. – 17. 7. 2026), jehož se zúčastní i československý reprezentační tým. Text je velmi atraktivní vzhledem k tomu, že vypravěčem kapitol o MS 1962 v Chile je Josef Jelínek, levé křídlo reprezentačního celku, a že v kapitolách o ME 1976 a EURO 1996 vypráví sám autor Felix Boom/Pavel Skramlík a reprezentant Karol Dobiaš, jemuž Pavel Skramlík napsal memoáry. Skramlík byl autorizovaným a akreditovaným novinářským zpravodajem českých deníků. Ze zpravodajů médií o těchto událostích už patrně není nikdo mezi živými. Jedná se o zcela autentická svědectví s řadou dosud nepublikovaných originálních výroků, často překvapivých, nikoliv o neautorizované, opisované a kompilační texty pozdních autorů, kteří mnohdy v době těchto událostí nebyli ani na světě. Jedná se tedy o čistě autentické autorské dílo.

The Social Lives of Birds


'A tour-de-force survey of how birds live their lives - with all the drama, surprise, humour, sadness and amazement of any human soap-opera' - Stephen Moss, author of Ten Birds That Changed the World'Utterly fascinating . . . Strassmann is the perfect guide to this world: an author as much fascinated by the science and research as she is motivated by the sheer joy and wonder of the birds themselves' - James Macdonald Lockhart, author of RaptorIn The Social Lives of Birds, evolutionary biologist Joan Strassmann examines what it means for birds of a feather to flock together. Some birds sleep together. Some join the foraging groups of other species. Some are only social during the breeding season, forming nesting colonies in trees, cliffs, and sandbanks. Some are altruistic, helping to rear young that are not their own. Some males perform mating dances together. Strassmann explains how flocks provide safety in numbers, roosts offer warmth and shelter, and colonies allow for protected breeding. But group behavior is not without its costs-including increased competition, infidelities, tick infestations, and more. Strassmann exposes the conflicts birds face and the many ways in which they resolve these conflicts. With stories of birds from around the world-from broad-winged hawks that migrate south together in the fall, tree swallows that roost together in the thousands, and tropical anis that nest in communes-The Social Lives of Birds explores the different kinds of bird groups and what to look for when watching them. Above all, it reveals that solitary life, it seems, is not for the birds. 'Delightful and informative' - Lee Dugatkin, author of How to Tame a Fox (and Build a Dog)

Railroaded


The New York City subway system is one of the largest and oldest in the world, still carrying traces of the transport systems that came before it. Some of its elevated tracks are remnants of steam railroads, and some tunnels run where canoes served as ferries. For passengers, riding the subway can feel like stepping into another world, dark and dank and sometimes dangerous. Now just imagine what it's like to work there every day. One of the few subway workers who went on to earn a PhD from Harvard, historian Fred Naiden gives readers a firsthand look at what it was like to work as a subway porter, a motorman, and a locomotive engineer during the 1980s. He recounts the labor activism of his fellow MTA employees, who advocated for better conditions, higher pay, and less institutional racism. He also shares wild stories about the riders he encountered, from a homeless former realtor who worked as a mob frontman to an angry passenger who pulled a gun on him while the train was stuck at a stop signal. Above all, Railroaded will answer many questions about the New York subway system, including how it could be improved.

Hare


In the Encounters in the Wild series, renowned nature writer Jim Crumley gets up close and personal with British wildlife. With his inimitable passion and vision, he relives memorable encounters with some of our best-loved native species, offering intimate insights into their extraordinary lives. “The moon climbed high above the trees beyond the far side of the field, contriving a night of raw, primitive beauty out of the still-lingering wisps of mist, the pale, tumbling curves of field, the parallel inked-in blue-black curves of the hedges, the quiet and surprisingly pale shades of the distant firth. Tawny owls stabbed at the darkness with sharp, two-syllable shrieks. Then there was a hare, far down the field. It ran easily out into the moonlight from the hedge on the far side and at once it was partnered in dance by its own giant shadow.”

Ghosts of the Night


No animal better symbolises the desire to get closer and the need to respect distance than the owl. These remarkable creatures are both among and apart from us: sharing the same environments but carrying a sense of mystique as they beat their wings low over the fields where they hunt, or swoop up and around to their nest, high in a tree or haystack. There is something ethereal, awe- and fear-inspiring about the appearance and movement of these birds: graceful, distinctive, almost otherworldly. It is not hard to see why observers long ago watched the owl and deemed it a visitor from another place, with either a great or terrible message to impart. Every encounter with an owl is special, somehow new, and stands alone even as it helps you to understand patterns and connections. The silent approach of a white Barn Owl angel over a paddock is one of the most alluring images in the British countryside. The t’wit and the answering t’wo of the Tawny owl is a classic of the night. Both are tiny insights into the amazing lives of the owls that are found around us. Ghosts of the Night is a wonderful insight into every element of our British Owls – Barn and Tawny and their even more enigmatic cousins the Short-eared, Long-eared and Little. How well do they hear, how silently do they fly and how do they live in the ever changing countryside. Chris Sperring is the acknowleged expert and he explains everything you have ever wanted to know about these amazing creatures.

Lords of the Ring


'Brilliant and electrifying... I loved every trash-talking, spandex-wearing and body-slamming page of it' Dan Schreiber, Host of 'No Such Thing As A Fish'A behind-the-scenes look at the weird and wonderful world of professional wrestling. Wrestling is at a new peak of popularity, but for years it has operated as an unregulated soap opera with controversial storylines and surprising presentations. It is a world where fact and fiction are regularly blurred, where stereotypes dominate and ruthlessness reigns supreme. But what does this eccentric phenomenon tell us about our society and culture? And why does it matte? n Lords of the Ring, Dan Higgins, makes it his mission to find out. Examining the myriad ways that our social, cultural and political landscape intersects with the sport, he explores how wrestling relates to and has shaped our ideas about gender, race, national identity and sexuality. Higgins also turns to the sport's relationship with politics - including how Donald Trump cultivated a character on the scene - shining a light on the key characters inside and outside of the ropes, as well as their unlikely, unusual and sometimes dark stories.

Hatalom és dicsőség


A labdarúgó-világbajnokság a Föld legnézettebb sporteseménye. Egy globális őrület, amely mindenkit beszippant: a 2022-es tornára 211 nemzet nevezett. Bár közel egy évszázada íródik a története, eddig nem született róla átfogó krónika. Ez a könyv – friss interjúkkal és lebilincselő riportokkal – most ezen változtat. 1930-ra a futball kinőtte az olimpiát. A FIFA új, profikat is fogadó tornája új szintre emelte a nemzetközi focit. Az uruguayi kezdetek még kaotikusak voltak: félkész stadion, csapnivaló bíráskodás és egy gyúró, aki véletlenül leütötte a saját játékosát – a döntőben aztán Uruguay 4–2-re verte Argentínát. Ebből a zűrzavarból nőtt ki a modern világ­bajnokság, egy olyan kulturális jelenség, amely semmi máshoz nem fogható módon hozza össze a világot. Kérdezzünk meg bárkit az utcán Szenegálról: jó eséllyel Papa Bouba Diop 2002-es gólját említi majd, amit a franciák ellen lőtt, amivel nemcsak a címvédő, hanem az egykori gyarmattartó felett is szimbolikus diadalt arattak. A vb-knek politikai súlyuk is van. Nyugat-Németország 1954-es sikere a világba való visszatérést jelentette; Horvátország 1998-as elődöntője pedig a nemzeti öntudatuknak adott hatalmas lökést. De a foci kiszámíthatatlan: az 1969-es „futballháborúban” egy vb-selejtező robbantotta ki a feszültséget Salvador és Honduras között. Napjainkban pedig a kormányok már a rendezéssel igyekeznek politikai tőkét kovácsolni: Oroszország és Katar világbajnoksága a „sportswashing” (sportpolitikai tisztára mosás) ékes példája volt. Jonathan Wilson nemcsak a meccseket, gólokat és botrányokat kelti életre, hanem a pályázatok körüli alkudozások és visszaélések kulisszatitkait is feltárja. Mert a világbajnokságok története egyben a világ története is. A könyv pedig mindezek teljes krónikája. Jonathan Wilson a The Guardian és a World Soccer állandó publicistája, valamint a The Blizzard alapító-főszerkesztője. Társműsorvezetője az It Was What It Was futballtörténeti podcastnak és egyike a Libero podcast hét állandó szakértőjének. Tizenhárom könyv szerzője, köztük olyan műveké – amelyek egy része Magyarországon is megjelent –, mint: ? Futballforradalmak ? A magyar futball aranykora ? A Barcelona-örökség ? Az argentin foci – Argentína futballtörténete a kezdetektől Messiig ? A Liverpool története 10 meccsben ? Kívülállók – A focikapusok története
