SHORTLISTED FOR FOOTBALL BOOK OF THE YEAR AT THE SPORTS BOOK AWARDS 2025LONGLISTED FOR THE WILLIAM HILL SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARDA New Statesman Book of the YearA Sunday Times Sports Book of the Year"A hilarious examination of the football commentary language we all understand but don''t know why" WHSBOTY 2024 Reading PanelThe long-awaited follow-up to Football Clichés, Adam Hurrey''s cult classic about the language of football."So enjoyable ... fascinating and deliciously nerdy." FourFourTwo"Adam Hurrey is the best observer of football culture in the world. He has a knack for either encapsulating something that''s always nagged at you or nailing something you can''t believe you haven''t noticed before." Elis James"The funniest, smartest book on the language of football. It sends out a message, silences the doubters and lets its football do the talking ... a Rolls-Royce of a book." David Goldblatt***Does language evolve? Yes, it does.Will it ever be acceptable for a football commentator to call a shot that bounces before it goes in ''a screamer''? No, it will not.As the self-appointed world expert on the subject, Adam Hurrey sets off to define the definitive rules of the language of football.He will answer the big questions such as: is it acceptable to say a player is ''breaking their silence'' (it''s complicated), can headers can be ''lashed'' (anatomically impossible), whether a penalty shootout could ever be described as ''late drama'' (truly abhorrent), how many games constitute a ''bumper'' day of Premier League action (minimum of eight) and just how big a deficit constitutes ''a mountain to climb'' (certainly not Liverpool going 1-0 down at home to Wolves in the third minute, Sky Sports).Along the way, Hurrey examines some case studies of how the football media has reached saturation point - the transfer rumour mill, the futile art of big-match previewing, the rise of (and backlash against) football jargon - and how its language has evolved to keep the machine going.Have we let the football lexicon spiral out of control? In finding out, this book will be exactly as gloriously pedantic as it sounds.
The Hidden Seasons
''The Sherlock Holmes of Nature'' - BBC RadioWhen we know what to look for and what it means, seasonal moments that were once hidden shine brightly.In The Hidden Seasons, Tristan Gooley shows us how to read the clues that the sun, moon, stars, plants, fungi, animals, water and weather give us - but that we continually miss, because we don''t know how and where to look.Spring is the time of wildflower signs, unique cloud shapes and curious animal behaviour. Summer is a time of coastal clues, astronomical extremes and secret grass patterns. Autumn is a time for reading leaves, deciphering scents and investigating fungi. And in winter, we learn to read snow, deepen our star knowledge and use rare methods to find clues in overlooked places, including indoors.As with Tristan Gooley''s bestsellers The Walker''s Guide, How to Read Water and How to Read a Tree, The Hidden Seasons inspires us to explore these signs for ourselves, giving us many rich insights into our turning year. Soon we will be able to anticipate and celebrate daily changes that few notice, however surprising they may be.And the seasons will never look, sound or smell the same again.
Writing in Bronze Age Crete
The Bronze Age Aegean and Cyprus were home to a plethora of scripts, including Cretan Hieroglyphic, Linear A and Linear B, Cypro-Minoan and Cypro-Syllabic. This Element is dedicated to the conventionally named 'Minoan' Linear A script, used on Crete and the Aegean islands during the Middle and Late Bronze Age (ca. 1800–1450 BCE). Linear A is still undeciphered, and the language it encodes ('Minoan') thus remains elusive. Notwithstanding, scholars have been able to extract a good amount of information from Linear A inscriptions and their contexts of use. Current ongoing research, integrating the materiality of script with linguistic analysis, offers a cutting-edge approach with promising results. This Element considers Linear A within an investigative framework as well as narrative, shedding light on a number of burning questions in the field, often the subject of intense academic debate.

More than a Game
The GAA is more than a game. It’s a cornerstone of Irish identity – woven into parishes, families and the national psyche. But behind the passion and pride lies a question that has never really been asked. Where is the GAA goin? n this revealing and timely book, acclaimed journalist Michael Moynihan explores how the GAA is changing, and what it means for the Ireland it serves. Is it still a grassroots, amateur participation movement? Is it a delivery system for elite sport? Is it a real estate organisation with thousands of premises? With sharp insight and deep research, Moynihan tackles the big questions – from unregulated payments to stadium sponsorships, broadcasting controversies, and postponed games for pop concerts. Moynihan lifts the lid on the inner workings of the GAA at a crossroads. At once thoughtful, balanced and bold, Moynihan shows us the organisation behind the headlines – and why its future matters to us all.
The Natural History of Selborne
Gilbert White''s Natural History of Selborne (1789) reveals a world of wonders in nature. Over a period of twenty years White describes in minute detail the behaviour of animals through the changing seasons in the rural Hampshire parish of Selborne. He notes everything from the habits of an eccentric tortoise to the mysteries of bird migration and animal reproduction, with the purpose of inspiring others to observe their own surroundings with the same pleasure and attention.Written as a series of letters, White''s book has all the immediacy and freshness of an exchange with friends, yet it is none the less crafted with compelling literary skill. His gossipy correspondence has delighted readers from Charles Darwin to Virginia Woolf, and it has been read as a nostalgic evocation of a pastoral vision, a model for local studies of plants and animals, and a precursor to modern ecology. This new edition includes contemporary illustrations and an introduction setting the work in its eighteenth-century context, as well as an appendix tracking the remarkable range of responses to the work over the last two hundred years.

Sightseeing Buses in Britain
While bus services in Britain have generally been in decline since the heady days of the early 1950s, there has been one area of bus operation that has seen significant growth. There has been a boom in overseas tourists to Britain’s historic towns and cities with the advent of cheaper long-haul flights and budget European airlines, along with the Channel Tunnel.Bus companies started to offer tours of these towns and cities, often using open-top buses. This idea was not new. London Transport had an existing Round London Sightseeing Tour which had been started in 1951 for the Festival of Britain. In 1972 open-top buses were hired in as an experiment, this proving successful and services were expanded rapidly.In Scotland, Edinburgh Corporation Transport had a long tradition of sightseeing tours. Elsewhere, sightseeing tours took off in such locations as Bath, York, Oxford and Cambridge. As tourists came all year round it became viable to operate separate vehicles and even invest in new buses. New developments included Hop-on-Hop-off tours and tours with taped commentaries in a variety of languages. New specialist companies began to emerge. Guide Friday started up in a small way at Stratford-upon-Avon and spread nationwide. They were replaced by the City Sightseeing brand started by Ensignbus which operates internationally.Malcolm Batten offers a fascinating photographic tour of the sightseeing buses of Britain.
Bálint gazda örök naptárkönyve
Egy különlegesen szép kivitelű kertésznaplót tart a kezében a kertbarát Olvasó, melyet a 2020-ban eltávozott Bálint György – az ország Bálint gazdája – szeretettel – és elhivatottsággal írt tanácsai, bölcs útravalói kísérnek.
Korunk kertjei két feladatot tűznek maguk elé: legyenek szépek és hasznosak. A két célkitűzés nem ellentétes egymással, sőt segítik is egymást: egy virágzó meggyfa nem csupán bámulatosan szép látvány, de értékes gyümölcsöt is érlel. A szőlővel felfuttatott lugas nemcsak látványos, de nagyon kellemes a forró nyári napokon.
A korszerű kertben mindenki talál magának való zugot: a gyerekek játszóteret, a felnőttek napozóhelyet, az idősek csendes, kellemes szegleteket. És a kert mindenkinek ad munkát, nemcsak a jó erőben levő fiatal férfiaknak, hanem a nőknek, a tinédzsereknek és az időseknek egyaránt.
A kalendárium évszázadokig a családok legkeresettebb olvasmánya volt, megjelölhették benne a születésnapokat, a kötelezettségeket, a jó szórakozás időpontját. Ebben a szép kalendáriumban a kerttel kapcsolatos legfontosabb tudnivalókra kívánom felhívni az Olvasók figyelmét. Ha ez sikerült, elértem a célomat. Kedves Mindannyiuknak jó olvasást és gazdag termést kívánok!
Bálint György és elhivatottsággal írt tanácsai, bölcs útravalói kísérnek.
