Red Card
The World Cup is here, but what function does a worldwide tournament play in an increasingly belligerent police state, with Donald Trump at the hel? ublishing on the eve of the soccer World Cup in the United States, Mexico, and Canada, this concise, power-packed philippic provides a critical take on the dark underbelly of the beautiful game at its most storied moment. At the heart of this analysis by acclaimed sportswriter and scholar Jules Boykoff, who himself played soccer professionally, is the concept of sportswashing, where political leaders use sports to stoke nationalism and legitimize themselves on the world stage, deflecting from chronic problems at home. Step forward the recipient of the newly cast FIFA Peace Prize, Donald J. Trump, a titan unrivaled in squeegeeing every drop of personal wealth and prestige from hosting the competition. In this, he is ably assisted by a governing body of global soccer dripping in patronage and corruption. In these pages Boykoff demonstrates that it is possible to simultaneously treasure the skills and athleticism displayed on the pitch while lamenting their exploitation by malevolent powerbrokers for whom love of the game means nothing next to turning a buck or harvesting prestige. And, as Red Card so skillfully shows, this bait and switch is not confined to soccer. Precisely the same legerdemain will be used to distract and enrich when the Olympic Games come to Los Angeles two years from now.
Sportőrület - 33 sportbotrány, amitől eldobod az agyad
Mi a közös eleme Agatha Christie regényeinek és a WADA (Nemzetközi Antidopping Szövetség) listájának? Miért a csalás szinonimája az angol nyelvben a ,,doing Rosie"? Miért látogatta meg a tunéziai Ali Bin Nasser partjelzőt Diego Armando Maradona az otthonában, mintegy 30 évvel az ,,Isten keze" gólja után? Miből tudta Carl Lewis már az 1988-as olimpia előtt, hogy Ben Johnson doppingolni készül? Miként tolt ki Ayrton Senna, minden idők egyik legnagyobb Forma-1-es versenyzője riválisával, Alan Prosttal? Miért köpte le Frank Rijkaard Rudi Völlert az 1988-as labdarúgó Európa-bajnokságon? Hogyan intézte el Nancy Kerrigan műkorcsolyázót riválisa, Tonya Harding egy baseballütő segítségével? Miért akarták kiutasítani Angliából Eric Cantonát, a Manchester United legendás támadóját? Miben kapta vissza Evander Holyfield saját, Mike Tyson által leharapott fülét?
Agócs László Imre sportőrült, sportrajongó. Ebben a szórakoztató, helyenként szatirikus kötetében 33 a sport világát jelentősen megrengető botrányt dolgozott fel, amelyre talán még a legnagyobb sportrajongók sem emlékeznek. A könyvben többek között helyett kapott Tiger Woods golfozó különös autóbalesete, a Juventus labdarúgócsapatának bundabotránya, Michael Schumacher monacói manővere vagy Mike Tyson leharapott füle. De olyan kevésbé ismert sportbotrányokról is szó esik, mint az SC Panderborn-Hamburg német kupamérkőzés bírájának extrém fogadási csalása, a Newcastle United játékosainak egymás közötti szánalmas hajbakapása vagy a spanyol paralimpiai kosárválogatott különös átverése. Fogadják hát szeretettel ezt a különleges kötetet, amely a világ legszórakoztatóbb és legkülönösebb sporttörténéseit mutatja be Agócs László Imre tálalásában, Balog Kristóf grafikus rajzaival.

The Album of Plant Families
A spectacular poster-sized book that illustrates the family connections between the plants around us, deepening our appreciation of nature. Much like our own family, plant families share characteristics, often in the arrangement of their flowers, leaves, and stems. In this oversized book, acclaimed botanical artist Wendy Hollender depicts 24 plant families most commonly encountered in the garden and in the wild. Her superb full-page illustrations, featuring subjects rendered from life in colour pencil and watercolour, help us visualise the sometimes surprising connections between different plants—for example, between the zinnia, the dandelion, and romaine lettuce, all members of the sunflower family, Asteraceae. For each family, Hollender’s lively writings aided by additional illustrations highlight the similarities between family members, and describe her adventures in collecting the subjects (from her backyard garden to the Hawaiian wilderness). Guest essays from a variety of distinguished contributors—including Marta McDowell, the best-selling garden writer; Susan Pell, executive director of the US Botanic Garden; and Dina Falconi, the well-known clinical herbalist—lend fascinating perspectives on the featured plant families. The Album of Plant Families will be the ultimate gift for all gardeners, foragers, and nature lovers.

Az Aranycsapat másképpen
Magyarország kétszer játszott döntőt foci-vb-n: 1938-ban és 1954-ben. A kettő között mindössze 16 év van, és mindkettő a magyar foci – nagyjából 1910 és 1966 között tartó – nagy korszakának kiemelkedő és szimbolikus eseménye. Bár a második döntő és maga az Aranycsapat kiemelt súllyal van jelen a magyar történelmi emlékezetben, hajlamosak vagyunk elszigetelten, önmagában nézni, pedig egy sokévtizedes folyamat eredményeként jött létre. Ez az olvasmányos, sok új és izgalmas részletet és összefüggést feltáró, gazdag fényképanyaggal illusztrált könyv ezen kíván változtatni.
A könyv végig kíséri az Aranycsapat kialakulását a magyar politikai és futballközegben, miközben érzékletesen mutatja be a világfutball folyamatait a hidegháborús viszonyok között. Részletes és plasztikus képet kapunk az Aranycsapat nagy meneteléséről: az 1952-es olimpiai aranyról (itt sikerült végre legyőzni a nagy mumust, az olaszokat, akik ellen elvesztettük az 1938-as vb-döntőt, és akiket az 1930-as években soha sem sikerült legyőznünk), az 1953-ról, az Aranycsapat legjobb évéről (beleértve az angolok elleni 6-3-at), és eddig soha nem látott részletességgel kísérhetjük végig magát az 1954-es vb-t. Külön erénye a könyvnek a döntőbeli ellenfél, a német csapat és az azt kitermelő német futballkultúra bemutatása. Részletesen foglalkozik a vb alatt a csapaton belül uralkodó viszonyokkal, a döntő eredményének fogadtatásával és következményeivel Magyarországon és Németországban, valamint azzal, hogyan látta a külvilág az Aranycsapatot.
A könyv – amellett hogy élvezetes és izgalmas olvasmány – segít abban, hogy a helyükre kerüljenek a sokszor hallott-látott dolgok, ezáltal összefüggéseiben, a valós történelmünk részeként kezdjük látni azt, amit olyannyira csodálunk.

The Cuckoo's Lea
A BBC WILDLIFE BEST BOOK OF 2025‘Magical … No journey in Britain will be quite the same again.’ The GuardianBirds have long inspired our emotional and imaginative connections to physical environments, but where did it all begi? idden in the names of English towns and villages, in copses, fields, lanes and hills, are the ghostly traces of birds conjuring powerful identities for people in ancient landscapes. What are their stories and secrets? How did people encounter birds over a thousand years ago? In The Cuckoo’s Lea, Michael J. Warren sets out on the trail of these ghosts. Captivated and guided by the secrets of place names, he finds their stories entangled with his own explorations of places through birds all across England. The past is hauntingly and movingly present on timeless marshes where curlews cry, where goshawks are breeding again for the first time in centuries, through silent cuckoo-woods lost under concrete sprawl, in the winter roosts of corvids and an owl village that vanished centuries ago. Weaving together early literature, history and ornithology, this book takes readers on a journey far into the past to contemplate the nature of place and to discover a fascinating heritage that matters deeply to us now when so many places and their birds are threatened or already gone.
For A Yellow Jersey
For a Yellow Jersey narrates the many remarkable lives of the women's Tour de France. A race which has, in its various incarnations, acted as a microcosm of the women's bike racing scene as a whole. Like the careers of many of its participants, the race itself represents an inspiring story of survival against the odds and in the harshest possible conditions. Paul Maunder tells this chequered story which dates back to 1955 and features false starts, media indifference and financial mismanagement. Above all, however, this is the story of the phenomenal athletes who have competed in these races. From Marianne Martin's surprise win in the 1984 event, to the intense rivalry of Jeannie Longo and Maria Canins in the late 1980s, to the modern-day Dutch dominance, there are as many dramatic tales in the women's race as the men's. We meet the key personalities who have made women's racing so entertaining over the past forty years. It's time to celebrate the history of the women's peloton. Women's racing has its own fascinating culture - tough, collaborative, political, maverick. Those who have campaigned for equality are driven, bloody-minded and above all, passionate about cycling. This is their story.
Checkmate
‘Mezrich’s books are the sort of engrossing reads you pick up in the airport then find the blockbuster film on the plane’ – Evening StandardFrom the bestselling author of The Accidental Billionaires and Bringing Down the House comes this cinematic true story about the biggest scandal in modern chess. In September 2022, the chess world watched in disbelief as Magnus Carlsen, widely considered the greatest player in history, faced an unthinkable defeat against the nineteen-year-old American upstart, Hans Niemann. Within days, Carlsen accused Niemann of cheating – a bombshell allegation that rocked the chess world. As the scandal spiralled, Chess.com – the dominant force in online chess – launched a high-stakes investigation igniting a global media firestorm. But Checkmate is about more than a cheating scandal. It’s the story of a teenager willing to risk everything to rise to the top; a reclusive genius suddenly fighting to protect his legacy; and a centuries-old game transforming into a billion-dollar industry fuelled by streaming, sponsorships, and Silicon Valley power players. With exclusive access to the central figures, Ben Mezrich takes readers deep inside the weird, wild, and cutthroat world of competitive chess – where genius collides with ambition, and the wrong move could be your last. 'Fast-paced and compelling, Mezrich brings the black and white squares of the chess world into full technicolour. Even the non-chess players among us can't fail to be hooked by this remarkable story' – Katie Prescott, author of The Curious Case of Mike Lynch

Togetherness
Change the way you see the world - and our place in it'Absolutely enthralling' BILL BRYSON'Stunning' GUARDIAN'Beautifully written and meticulously researched . . . Vivid and powerful' RICHARD DAWKINS'The revelations in this book made me rethink the world' CHRIS PACKHAMFrom evolution to capitalism, ‘survival of the fittest’ has shaped our view of the world. But we got it wrong – and our mistake has brought us to the brink. For the history of life on Earth is much more than a story of competition. The natural world has been forged and sustained by small miracles of co-operation between animals and plants, insects and fungi, fish and bacteria – these partnerships are ubiquitous, lifelong and an essential guide for a better future. In Togetherness, Rowan Hooper reveals the intimate connectedness of nature through these remarkable stories of symbiosis. From the female wasp venturing deep inside a fig and the intricate relationship between corals and the algae that sustain them to the symbiotic gut microbes that influence our moods, he explores how co-operation is fundamental to life itself and to protecting our shared future. Togetherness will change the way you see the world, our place in it and our obligation to its hidden wonders.
Swimmingly
WINNER OF THE SPORTS BOOK AWARDS 2026 – SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT BOOK OF THE YEAR'A hugely enjoyable love letter to swimming and open water adventures' – Sophie RaworthSports and Virgin Radio Breakfast Show presenter Vassos Alexander found solace and distraction swimming in the Thames during a difficult summer, and was bitten by the bug. Now he can't pass a body of water without wanting to jump in. Told through the story of training for a solo Channel swim, Swimmingly takes you on a journey across the world from Bournemouth Beach to San Francisco Bay. Vassos discovers that outdoor swimming is not about being the fastest or the best, it's about finding that little bit of magic in every stroke. Working with elite coaches and interviewing the great and the good of swimming, he uncovers the massive sense of community at the heart of this time-honoured pastime. He meets Olympic champions and Channel legends – including Diana Nyad, who in her 60s became the first person to swim between Cuba and Florida; Lewis Pugh, the UN Patron of the Oceans and Lynne Cox, a woman who went for a swim and saved the world. It's about the everyday swims, too – the tips shared and friendships forged over coffee and cake after a morning dip with the Teddington Bluetits or the sea swimmers of Whitstable. With the sport exploding in popularity over recent years, we all know someone (or are that someone!) who swims outside throughout the year. Swimmingly will leave you with a renewed sense of connection to the world, and perhaps even inspire you to dive into your nearest lake, river or sea with gleeful abandon.
Why Do Birds Sing?
Throughout our history birdsong has influenced art, poetry and music. It can elevate our mood and bring our backyards to life. We often hear birds singing as we go about our lives, but have you ever wondered who they are singing to and what they are singing abou? he term 'bird brain' has led us to underestimate the brainpower it takes to hear a song, remember it and practise until it is reproduced correctly. In the same way human infants learn to talk, young birds learn their song by listening and remembering the sounds produced by their parents. Not only that, birds use different songs and calls, and different pitch, tone and volume, depending on who they're communicating with and what they want to say-much like the way we vary our speech. Why Do Birds Sing? provides an insight into the world of bird communication that will surprise and delight you. It's an absorbing and informative book filled with answers to many of the common and often uncommon questions we ask about birdsong. After reading this book you will never listen to a bird song in the same way!
Super Natural
A NATURE BOOK OF THE YEAR IN THE MAIL ON SUNDAY'Superb... A testament to just how beautiful and wonderful life on Earth is' Times Literary Supplement'Fascinating' Guardian'Brilliant' Daily MailFrom scorching deserts to frozen seabeds, from the highest peaks of the Himalaya to the hadal depths of the oceans, there are habitats on this Earth that appear inimical to life - yet in which it flourishes nevertheless. During the midday heat of the Sahara, silvery ants sprint from their nests to feed. In North American forests, wood frogs awaken each spring from solid blocks of ice. At the site of the Chernobyl disaster, fungi harness radiation to thrive. Transporting readers to far-flung environments we could never call home, Super Natural paints an awe-inspiring portrait of life's resilience and ingenuity under the harshest circumstances. We meet creatures exquisitely adapted to endure unimaginable deprivations: of water, oxygen, food, sunlight. Alex Riley shows how, at nature's extremes, the rules of life as we know them are rewritten - and how, here, we can find hope for the future of life on Earth, and beyond.
Climbing
Written by longtime climber Hil Malatino, Climbing explores the why of the sport, asking what pushes him and so many others to drag themselves to the gym and the crag time and again; to restructure their intimate lives around the pursuit of a new goal; and to devote thousands of hours forging their nerves to perform physical and mental feats while dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of feet off the ground. In chapters that explore gender, class, and sizeism in climbing culture, as well as grief, addiction, queer and trans-worldmaking, and the tensions between conservation and recreation, Climbing teases out how the art of navigating across rock can help us learn how to revel in being weird, vulnerable, and radically interdependent animals temporarily gifted the complicated tragicomedy of a body. It is a story of collective obsession and transformation that tracks how holding yourself on the wall helps you learn how to hold onto the ambiguities of life on earth.
The Hidden Seasons
THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO THE HIDDEN CLUES AND SIGNS OF NATURE IN THE TURNING OF THE YEARThe perfect gift for dad this Father's Day!'A brilliant guide to the signs and wonders of the natural world . . . the author's alertness and expertise are impressive, and he makes a beguiling and inspiring guide . . . wonderful.' - DAILY MAIL'Gooley preaches attention to patterns in nature like a sommelier describing wine.' - NEW YORK TIMES'Another triumph from our unsurpassed expert on how to read the signs of nature. Indeed, his best book yet, which is saying something!' - John Lewis-Stempel, author of MEADOWLAND'A book to savour month by month as the seasons turn. Loved it!' - Lara Maiklem, author of MUDLARKING 'The Sherlock Holmes of Nature' - BBC Radio------When 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. Autumn is a time for reading leaves, deciphering scents and investigating fungi. 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. 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.
