The Golden Generation
Discover the untold story of Canadian men''s basketball, from Steve Nash''s breakthrough at the 2000 Olympics to two decades of struggle, controversy, and missed opportunity. The Golden Generation follows the Canadian basketball journey from obscurity to resurgence as a new generation of NBA stars, like Andrew Wiggins and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, propel Canada back to international glory. When Steve Nash led underdog Team Canada to the quarterfinals of the 2000 Olympics, many assumed the golden age of Canadian basketball was at hand. Instead, it took 24 years for the Canadian men to get back to international basketball''s biggest stage, with a wave of immigration pushing the sport into every corner of the country and a new generation of superstars blossoming into household names. How did we get here? And why did it take so long? In The Golden Generation, sports journalist Oren Weisfeld uncovers the growth of Canadian basketball through the lens of Team Canada and its most influential figures, alternating between chronicling key moments in the rise of the Canadian men''s national team and profiling key figures in the grassroots basketball landscape. Through over 100 original interviews with athletes, coaches, and behind-the-scenes power brokers, The Golden Generation explores the role racism played in the national team''s early struggles, how pioneers like Cory Joseph and Tristan Thompson paved a new path for high schoolers to follow before Jamal Murray recreated it, the enigma that is Andrew Wiggins, and the backstories of the core group of players that brought Canada back to the Olympics, including superstar Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Canadian basketball has come a long way over the past two decades, with a record 24 current NBA players, a sophisticated grassroots infrastructure, and a top-ranked national team. But many trailblazers had to take their hits to lay the foundation for the current generation to thrive. The Golden Generation puts all the pieces and players together to explain how Canada became a basketball country with a bright future ahead.
Madness
From dealing with the cantankerous and cheapskate owner of the Toronto Maple Leafs to hosting radio hotline shows to anchoring a revolutionary late-night program, Sportsline, Mark Hebscher finally tells the unheard stories from his 45 years in the bizarre business of sports broadcasting. How would you react if hockey superstar Wayne Gretzky sweated all over your dress pants during a live TV interview? What if heavyweight boxing champion Leon Spinks threatened to harm you if you didn''t dance with his wife? These are just two of the occupational obstacles faced by Mark Hebscher during his checkered career in sports media. From covering Harold Ballard, the cantankerous owner of the Toronto Maple Leafs, to helping lead a cultural revolution in sports broadcasting on the late-night program Sportsline, Hebscher tells stories of his 45 years in the business in his new book, Madness: The Rise and Ruin of Sports Media. This is a compelling look at the evolution of sports journalism and how today''s media coverage drastically differs from the days of newspapers and magazines. At the same time, it explores the effect that radio, TV, and later technology has had on sports coverage, and how men like Howard Cosell changed the way sports was reported on. How did Wide World of Sports and Hockey Night in Canada become so ingrained in popular culture? What was it about Sportsline that made it mandatory viewing? Who were the athletes, sportswriters, sportscasters, reporters, and play-by-play announcers that fueled his desire to be a part of the sports media landscape? In the end, Hebscher''s encounters with the Great One, MC Hammer, Youppi!, Doug Flutie, and Doug Gilmour are more than mildly amusing ... and his unparalleled knowledge of the sports media universe shines throughout.
The Hooded Man
An adventure roleplaying game inspired by the legends of Robin Hood.You are hunter and prey, a friend of the people and an enemy of tyrants. Your realm is the deep forest, amidst the birch and ancient oak. Falsely accused, only your wits and your longbow can save you from the gallows. You are an outlaw, an outcast, a hooded man…Prince John rules with an iron fist and Robin Hood is already a legendary figure, a champion of the common people, and a symbol of resistance against the tyranny of the nobility. Even Robin Hood cannot be everywhere, however, and many still fall foul of powerful landowners, grasping tax-collectors, and greedy barons. Charged with crimes and forced from their homes, the life of an outlaw seems to be the only option. Some, seeking vengeance or inspired by tales of Robin''s bravery, refuse to submit and fight back against those who have driven them into the greenwood. The Hooded Man is a roleplaying game of heroism and adventure that tells the stories of these rebels, be they members of Robin’s band, striking out against the Sheriff of Nottingham from their lair in Sherwood Forest, or an outlaw company of the players’ own creation. Characters are drawn from all walks of life, bringing their own talents, histories, and motives to the company, and the simple D6 dice-pool system keeps the focus on these heroes and their fight against tyranny and oppression.

Foundations
From one of the world’s most influential designers, a rich tour-de-force that explores how history, character, and vision come together to make a home at once timeless and personal.Nate Berkus is beloved for his elegant, narrative-driven interiors that are layered and deeply personal. In this beautifully photographed book, filled with Nate’s warmth and years of knowledge, he shares his Four Tenets of Good Design. They are not a recipe to follow, as much as they are inspirational ideas to help get you started: Make it Personal—Draw inspiration from the places you’ve been, what you love, and who you aspire to be at home. Embrace History—A room feels most complete when it has old things in it; think about where you can bring in objects and details that have stood the test of time. Build Character—Consider introducing architectural details, classic materials, and timeless finishes that will make your home unique. Develop a Vision—Turn your inspiration into a design that embodies who you want to be at home and how you want to live. For Nate Berkus, enduring design is honest, emotional, and tailored to the people who live in it. That means creating rooms that can grow and evolve with you. Foundations is an invitation and inspiration to design a space that is unequivocally yours.
Průvodce chovem papoušků, 2. vydání
Druhé přepracované vydání knihy Tonyho Silvy – Průvodce chovem papoušků. Její první vydání vyšlo v roce 2015 a stalo se chovatelským bestsellerem, který nechybí v žádné knihovně milovníka exotického ptactva. První vydání této publikace bylo během jednoho roku beznadějně vyprodána. Kniha byla psána jiným způsobem, než je u nás zvykem, přičemž svým obsahem a doplňující fotogalerií čtenáře doslova nadchla. Druhé a doplněné vydání této knihy vychází více z její anglické verze, která vyšla později než verze česká, a to pod názvem Psittaculture v roce 2018. Do anglické verze vložil autor nejnovější poznatky z chovu papoušků, které získal za více než 50 let aktivní chovatelské činnosti. Tony Silva píše své knihy srozumitelným jazykem, který pochopí i naprostí začátečníci, v knize navíc najdeme také celou řadu chovatelských příběhů, jež vysvětlují dané chovatelské postupy. V každém případě se jedná o moderní publikaci, která na našem trhu chybí a která neobsahuje pouze autorovy poznatky, ale shrnuje poznatky chovatelů z celého světa – a právě to činí tuto knihu naprosto jedinečnou. Do české verze knihy byly začleněny zkušenosti chovatelů ze střední Evropy – zejména pak od chovatelů z České republiky a ze Slovenska. To této knize dává zcela jiný náboj a činí ji atraktivnější pro naše chovatele. Za velmi důležitou považuji také skutečnost, že kniha vychází z nejnovější taxonomie dle del Hoya. Rozsah této publikace je opravdu široký, nikoli však nezáživný, pevně proto věřím, že si zde na své přijde každý, ať už se jedná o majitele mazlíčků, začínajícího, či zkušeného chovatele. Kniha je doplněna řadou unikátních fotografií, které ji činí atraktivní. Tony Silva je v současné době nejuznávanějším odborníkem na chov papoušků, jenž si vzal za úkol zpopularizovat chov papoušků na celém světě.
Conservation of Dragonflies
Dragonflies are among the most familiar and popular of all insects, deeply embedded in human cultural history. They are iconic and tell us much about the environments in which we and they live. Their conservation is an important part of biodiversity conservation. One modern dragonfly species is listed as extinct, with many others currently threatened. It is now essential to increase conservation efforts towards saving these threatened species, with strategies now available for doing this. Recovery of dragonfly populations goes hand in hand with improvements to both freshwater conditions and bank vegetation quality. In contrast, some other dragonfly species have benefitted greatly from human transformation of the landscape, with artificial ponds in particular, increasing the population levels of many species. In turn, climate change is seeing many geographical range shifts. Dragonflies are variously sensitive to the health of freshwater systems, and the quality of vegetation along rivers and around ponds. Dragonflies are excellent indicators in these times of great concern over the quality of our freshwater supplies. Their wide range of sensitivities enables us to measure the extent to which freshwater ecosystems are either deteriorating or are improving when we undertake restoration. They enable us to gauge how well we are conserving freshwaters, whether ponds and lakes, streams or rivers. They are also good umbrellas for many other freshwater inhabitants, which altogether reflect the health of a freshwater system. Conservation of Dragonflies: Sentinels for Freshwater Conservation is for naturalists, citizen scientists, entomologists and conservation scientists, as well as practitioners and policy makers around the world.

Medicinal Mushroom Profiles include: Cordyceps * Amadou * Birch Polypore * Reishi * Maitake * Lion's Mane * Chaga * Milky Cap * Shiitake * Medicinal Molds * Oyster * Psychoactive Mushrooms * Split Gill * Turkey Tail
Living with Thunder
“In geology, the present is the key to the past. And the past is also a touchstone of the future. We would do well to heed the stories the stones have to tell.” —from the Introduction Updated throughout, this second edition of Living with Thunder provides readers with a robust introduction to the geological history of the Pacific Northwest—a landscape born of thunderous volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and island-continent collisions. By combining engaging science writing with stunning color photographs, Ellen Morris Bishop presents an up-to-date geologic survey of Washington, Oregon, Northern California, and western Idaho. Whether examining new findings about the Yellowstone hotspot's rampage across Oregon, an updated history of Cascadia earthquakes, Mount Hood's 1793-1795 eruptions, the arrival of Indigenous peoples at least 18,000 years ago, or how Pacific Northwest eruptions and tectonics influenced past climate changes, Bishop’s gift as a scientist and storyteller engages general readers, geological nonspecialists, and students of the Earth sciences, alike. Highlighting the Northwest’s exceptional record of past climate changes and the implications for our future, the book outlines new understandings about the climatic consequences of major geologic events and their dramatic influences on ecosystems and ancient life. It also examines the confluence of scientific findings with Native American experience, stories, and traditional knowledge of earthquakes, eruptions, and more. With new illustrations, enhanced maps, the latest geologic timescale, and an extensive list of updated references and recommended readings, Living with Thunder offers a key to understanding the Northwest’s unique, long-term geologic heritage by giving voice to the rocks and their histories.
On Southern Lines in Devon and Cornwall
The Southern Railway, and later British Railways’ Southern Region extended its reach into Devon and Cornwall, competing with the Great Western Railway. The main line served Exeter and Plymouth and named trains such as the ‘Atlantic Coast Express’ and the ‘Devon Belle’ took holidaymakers to the coastal resorts, including Padstow, Bude and Ilfracombe. In addition, a network of lines served smaller locations in the two counties. Many of these lines were closed in the 1960s, during the Beeching era, and earlier BR’s Western Region had taken over the Southern’s lines in Devon and Cornwall west of Exeter. In this book railway historian Robert Hendry documents in photographs the changing race of the railways on these lines, from the days of the Southern Railway into BR’s ownership.
Preserving Diesel Hydraulic Locomotives
In the 1970s diesel locomotive preservation was very much in its infancy. With most of these locomotives having been built in the 1960s it seemed inconceivable that anyone would consider preserving one as they were so relatively young. However, despite steam having been phased out by 1968, the railways were rapidly changing and many of the early diesel classes were starting to be taken out of service due to dwindling work for them and line closures. Also, BR wanted to standardise the fleet. The diesel hydraulic classes were one type of locomotive targeted for early withdrawal. The first ones were taken out of service in 1968 and the final ones in 1977. In the last few years of their lives, they gained a tremendous following from enthusiasts which ignited a passion to try and preserve some before it was too late. As the movement gathered pace more people became involved and one of these was Steve Crowther. In this book he details the ups and downs of saving not one but three of these iconic locomotives for posterity.

Bohemka je a bude - Kniha první 1905-1973, 2. vydání
Uznávaný historik českého fotbalu a také na jiných polích osvědčený autor literatury faktu, držitel řady prestižních ocenění, se do dějin jednoho z nejslavnějších českých fotbalových klubů poprvé zapsal roku 2005 jubilejní publikací Zelenobílé století. Historie pražských Klokanů i jejich kouzelného Ďolíčku, které byl a je po víc než sedm desetiletí sám svědkem, ho upoutala tak, že se k ní teď vrací v mnohem rozsáhlejší podobě. V první části klubové kroniky, kterou teď držíte v rukou, zkušený autor zasvěceně a podmanivě provádí čtenáře obdobím od zrození klubu, lety vítězství i porážek, triumfů i pádů, podivuhodných a dramatických příběhů, putování zelenobílého týmu po cestách světem fotbalu, vroubených někdy vavřínem a jindy zase trním, až do roku 1973. Tehdy se Bohemians po tříleté pauze vrátili do nejvyšší domácí soutěže a zahájili vzestup, který v sezoně 1982/83 vyvrcholil dobytím mistrovského titulu a skvělou reprezentací našeho fotbalu v poháru UEFA. O těchto velkých úspěších však už vypráví kniha druhá, která zavede čtenáře až do finiše ligového ročníku 2019/20. Součástí této kroniky 115leté historie je bohatá dokumentační příloha působení Vršovických v domácích i mezinárodních soutěžích i ve státní reprezentaci. Toto dvousvazkové dílo svou šíří a hloubkou záběru v české fotbalové literatuře bez nadsázky zatím nemá obdobu. Příběh zelenobílých Klokanů lze číst jedním dechem a přesto se k němu čtenáři budou stále vracet.
