Elite Hockey Defense
Develop defensive hockey players at all levels. Defensive skills often receive less attention and recognition than their offensive counterparts. In Elite Hockey Defense: Skills and Strategies for the Modern Game, author Dave Cameron lays out the essential tools coaches need to create game-changing defensive players. Skills such as transitions, backward acceleration, and passing and receiving passes are fundamental to the position of defense but are often overlooked in exchange for simple shooting practice. By incorporating skating development and puck control along with instruction on positional play, strategy, communication, and specific zone play, coaches can foster more adaptable defensive players. Cameron also goes in-depth on the split-second decision-making that players encounter in game situations and offers guidance on developing players in a way that prepares them to assess scenarios as they arise. Elite Hockey Defense: Skills and Strategies for the Modern Game contains a drill finder that will help readers quickly locate the most appropriate drills for their players, and Coaching Tips note key points that coaches should focus on during each drill. These tips highlight why the drills are beneficial, what skills are being developed, and note technique tips and common player mistakes to look out for. Build an unstoppable defensive force on the ice. With expert advice that has been used at all levels, Elite Hockey Defense: Skills and Strategies for the Modern Game is the perfect tool for coaches looking to elevate the performance of their defensive players.
Britain's Railways in the Second World War
The outbreak of the Second World War had an enormous effect on the railway system in Britain. Keeping the trains running through times of conflict was not such a distant memory for the railway companies and their workers but in this second major war of the twentieth century, the task was to prove a very different one. The railway system no longer consisted of the hundreds of companies of the past, but the Big Four' still needed to learn how to work together and forget their differences for the war effort. The logistics of the mass evacuation of children, and transporting thousands of troops during the evacuation of Dunkirk and the preparations for D-Day, for instance, were unprecedented. At the same time, they had to cope with the new and constant threat of aerial bombing that military advances brought to the Second World War. The railway system, and the men and women who ran it, effectively served as another branch of the military during the conflict. This book is a fascinating account of the important role that the railways played in the defence of the country as well as in their support of the Allied forces in theatres of war around the world. It brings to light the often forgotten stories of the brave and hard-working men and women who went to work on the railways and put their lives on the line.

At well over 1.2 million cars and counting, the Mazda MX-5 holds the Guinness World Record as the bestselling two-seater sports car ever produced. With a compelling mixture of timeless good looks, simple mechanicals, legendary reliability and Mazda’s commitment to developing and honing an idea first conceived back in the 1970s, the MX-5 not only single-handedly revived the ailing sports car segment on its debut, but is one of few cars still flying the flag today. The motoring landscape has changed dramatically since its conception, but one thing is certain: you can still rely on an MX-5 for a good time. This fully revised edition of Mazda MX-5 charts the MX-5’s story from the first seeds of its conception right up to the concept cars and special editions of the modern day, covering:• Design, development and production over more than three decades and four generations. • The engine and drivetrain technology that gave the MX-5 its sharp handling and performance. • Stories of the engineers and designers behind the MX-5’s successes, showing how simple, intelligent engineering ensured such a bespoke product was able to compete in a world obsessed by volume and margins. • The MX-5’s extensive racing story. • A detailed buyer’s guide for all four generations, compiled with the help of specialists, as well as details of the myriad special editions sold globally. • Detailed specifications for all major models. Illustrated in full colour, Mazda MX-5 is a concise, detailed guide to this groundbreaking and innovative sports car.
Z Ruzyně do jižního Tichomoří
Všichni vědí, co znamenají tři písmena ČSA. V první éře, do roku 1939, Československé Státní Aerolinie, v druhé poválečné etapě Československé Aerolinie a konečně v té poslední, od roku 1995, České Aerolinie. Jedná se o jednu z nejstarších leteckých společností, která letos slaví sto let své existence, což má v letectví zvláštní váhu, protože vždycky platilo, že přesvědčit cestující o své důvěryhodnosti a bezpečnosti provozu není snadné, a jedná se o proces, který většinou zabírá několik desetiletí.
V nové knize Z Ruzyně do jižního Tichomoří jsem se pokusil zachytit několik významných okamžiků vývoje naší domácí letecké společnosti, spolu s vlastními postřehy, kdy jsem jako pilot, později kapitán létal od roku 1994 na linkách do blízkých, a později i vzdálenějších destinací letového řádu ČSA. Od roku 2014 jsem přesedlal na dálkový Airbus A330, provozovaný významnou východoasijskou leteckou společností Korean Air, a vydal se na cestu kolem světa.
I když v jiných kulisách, létání je podobné všude na světě. A kdo jednou propadne kouzlu létajících strojů, vždycky bude nedočkavě vyhlížet další let a těšit se na návraty do modré hlubiny vysoko nad mraky, kde má pocit, že se vrací domů.
Pojďte se tam podívat se mnou.

Aston Martin: the V8 Legacy
This book charts the origins, design and development of the most iconic British supercar of the 1970s and 1980s - the Aston Martin V8. It traces the car''s origins from the introductory model of 1967, the DBS through the various iterations of the V8 versions and ends with the final models of the range, the spectacular Vantage Zagato. While the car started life with Aston Martin''s ageing six-cylinder engine, it quickly received the engine the car was originally designed to be fitted with; Aston Martin''s mighty quad cam V8. The V8 would would power the car through the 70s and 80s, and with various tweaks and tunes, described in the book, would keep Aston Martin''s reputation as a vendor of fast, high-performance coupes alive through some very troubling times.The book covers the whole family of standard production cars produced by Aston Martin, along with various special versions, including the Ogle-designed ''Sotheby Special'', the Siva S350 and the ''Bulldog'' which recently broke the 200mph barrier. Alongside the specials the book also looks at the racing variants, including the Le Mans Lola of 1967, the spectacular V8 production racer run by Robin Hamilton (which was nicknamed ''the muncher'' thanks to its spectacular performance meaning it would eat is brakes for breakfast) and the Nimrod, which saw Aston Martin return to Le Mans in the 1980s. It also looks at the car in film and on the small screen, with James Bond looming large (''On Her Majesty''s Secret Service'' and ''The Living Daylights'') and with Roger Moore cavorting about Europe with Tony Curtis in the popular TV series ''The Persuaders!'' polishing the cars celebrity credentials.With some 70,000 words and 250+ pictures, many never seen before, this book pays a heartfelt tribute to the The Aston Martin V8. The V8 was the poster car for the patriotic British teenager of the 1970s and 1980s, providing a glimmer of hope that Britain could produce a world beating performance car that was the match of Italian exotica and American muscle. The Aston Martin V8 was that world beater, a car with superlative looks, amazing performance, unparalleled luxury and tough, reliable underpinnings. This book is a heartfelt tribute to the car, the car that kept Aston Martin''s hopes and British automotive dreams alive, a car that is now starting to be recognised for the true British supercar it always has been.

F1 Generations
After one of the most exciting and closely-fought F1 Championships in years, Lando Norris stands top of the podium as World Champion, leading a new generation of young, exciting and fast British drivers gracing the grid. With George Russell joining Norris at the top table, Lewis Hamilton reaching the twilight of his extraordinary career, and Silverstone's iconic race track the venue of the season's mid-point, what is it about Britain's close relationship with motorsport that helps it continually produce the top talent in F1?
In F1 Generations, bestselling sportswriter Frank Worrall looks at the passing of the baton, examining Hamilton, Norris and Russell in the context of the lineage of successful and trailblazing British drivers that came before them - from Stirling Moss, Jackie Stewart, Graham Hill and James Hunt to Damon Hill, David Coulthard and Jenson Button - to explore what it takes to reach the very pinnacle of the sport and the legacy that you leave behind in the process.
In the Japanese Ballpark
Baseball is the national pastime of both the United States and Japan, but the two countries approach and play the game differently both on the field and away from it. To shed light on these differences and help fans gain a greater appreciation for Nippon Professional Baseball, Robert K. Fitts turns to the true experts, the people who play, oversee, promote, and watch the game, to find out what makes Japanese baseball special. In the Japanese Ballpark features engaging interviews with twenty-six baseball personalities to provide a behind-the-scenes look at the game. Fitts speaks with participants in the games such as players, managers, and an umpire; support staff including an interpreter, trainer, and data analyst; front office personal such as an owner, general and assistant managers, and marketing directors; ballpark workers including cheerleaders, a mascot, beer vendor, and usher; and professionals who surround the sport, such as baseball writers, a player agent, and a sports card dealer; as well as a league commissioner. Through their personal experiences, these individuals reveal the inner workings of the Japanese game and explain the cultural aspects that make Nippon Professional Baseball different from Major League Baseball. In the Japanese Ballpark features interviews with Bobby Valentine, Trey Hillman, Matt Murton, Robert Whiting, Marty Kuehnert, Tomoko Namba, Ambassador Ryozo Kato, and many others. Their experiences and insights provide inside knowledge to make the fan experience more enjoyable, for both those watching a Japanese game for the first time and well as for seasoned followers.
Moses Malone
Moses Malone overcame abject poverty in segregated Petersburg, Virginia, to become the first modern-day basketball player to jump directly from high school to the pros, paving a path for future stars such as Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett, and LeBron James to follow. Moses Malone: The Life of a Basketball Prophet tells the story of Malone’s ascent in the early 1970s to becoming the premier player in the world for a five-year period. The young Malone prophesied his improbable rise and succeeded where others later failed because of his strength of character and unparalleled work ethic. Malone dominated his years in the NBA with a relentless determination that made him the greatest offensive rebounder in basketball history-a record he holds to this day. From 1979 to 1983 he won three of the NBA’s Most Valuable Player awards and with Julius Erving helped to deliver the Philadelphia 76ers to the NBA championship in 1983. He remains one of just nine players to win the NBA MVP award three or more times. In many ways Malone was an anti-superstar. He lacked a signature move, displayed almost no ego, and shunned the spotlight to the detriment of his commercial appeal. Shy by nature and self-conscious about a speech impediment, Moses kept his distance from the media, some of whom mistook his reticence for stupidity. A man of few words, he possessed a magnetism rooted in humility, authenticity, and passion. Moses was a giver, equally generous in assisting a friend as he was mentoring younger players, including Charles Barkley and Hakeem Olajuwon. While his contemporaries preened for the cameras, Moses remained the “lunch pail superstar,” a quiet and humble teammate who expressed himself through his tireless effort on the court and compassion off it.
