Mountaineering Women


The first illustrated book to celebrate the remarkable stories and achievements of twenty of the most daring women mountaineers from around the globe. As adventure pursuits like climbing and mountaineering continue to gain popularity on the world stage, women's visibility in the sport has also grown. Mountaineering Women is the first publication of its kind, a richly illustrated collection of the awesome and oft surprising stories that celebrate the achievements of twenty women climbers from across the globe. From the Amazigh (Berbers) of the Atlas Mountains to the Inca Empire, high in the Andes, women have long traversed the world's most forbidding peaks. When, many centuries later, mountaineering took off as a sporting activity in the West, it was plucky Victorian women who defied convention to tackle the fabled summits of the European Alps. Yet despite the fact that women have a pronounced and rich history in the sport, they are conspicuously absent from mountaineering literature. Mountaineering Women seeks to redress a narrative that frequently focuses on the exploits of white, male 'explorers'. The climbers come from a wide range of nations, and each of their compelling stories is accompanied by a specially commissioned ink illustration and evocative black-and-white photographs. Three 16-page photographic sections, meanwhile, reveal the mountaineers in action and the mountainscapes in all their grandeur. Bookending the main chapters is a comprehensive introduction, written by Nandini Purandare, and a closing essay by Ashima Shiraishi, looking towards the future of the sport.

States of Play


The definitive account of how capitalism and the world's elite corrupted modern football. Fully updated to cover Saudi Arabia's 2034 World Cup bid, the Manchester City charges case and PSG winning the Champions League. As the 2022 World Cup in Qatar drew to a close, there was a bitter undercurrent to Argentina's triumph. Throughout the tournament, numerous allegations of sportswashing and financial misconduct had been made against the state of Qatar, moving what had previously been a smaller conversation into the worldwide spotlight. The question had been asked, who really owns and runs football? Journeying from Abu Dhabi to Newcastle, and onto London, Paris, Moscow and New York, journalist Miguel Delaney investigates the allegations of sportswashing and misconduct in the beautiful game. The result is a gripping account of how football has been taken over by the world's wealthiest businessmen, state-backed corporations, media tycoons and oil-rich oligarchs. From Neymar's GBP 198 million transfer to Paris Saint-Germain and Abu Dhabi's construction empire in Manchester to failed Financial Fair Play constraints and the dawn of the European Super League, Miguel draws on exclusive interviews and unprecedented access to key stakeholders to produce an all-encompassing exposé of modern footballs highest echelons. Authoritative, riveting and eye-opening, States of Play reveals how football has become a tool for the world's elite.

The Global Spread of Football from the 1860s to the 1880s


This book offers a study of how football became in the 1870s a global sport that was played by high school students on several continents. It provides a horizontal perspective that focusses on the spread of football in the 1870s from its English cradle to Germany, the United States, and Argentina. It will be the very first account of football that does not treat this sport in isolation but brings together the phenomenon of football with the conditions in nineteenth-century high schools and the crisis of urban living and, thereby, explains why this sport was so willingly and quickly accepted into various societies and cultures around the globe.Football was part of the social reform movement that emerged in the second half of the nineteenth century in response to the social ills of urban life. Adults and children spent more and more time inside badly ventilated buildings. Beginning in the 1870s, social reformers and teachers called for the introduction into school curricula of physical exercises that could be conducted on the meadows and sport fields outside cities.

Marinovich


For years, the national media has been left unchecked for its careless, incomplete, and often inaccurate portrayal of Todd Marinovich''s meteoric rise to fame, cataclysmic collapse, and unsteady path to self-realization. Now, for the first time, Todd tells his story in his own words, and nothing is off limits. Marinovich dives into the making of America''s first ''test-tube athlete,'' detailing Todd''s upbringing under his father''s unconventional care and his early entry into elite athletics along with its relentless spotlight. Readers will examine the inner workings of the mythical ''Robo Quarterback,'' but they will also meet an artist and free spirit who just happened to be one of the nation''s best football players. Todd holds nothing back as he tells of his jaw-dropping exploits both on and off the football field, sharing how the merciless grip of addiction unraveled his life even as his success in football reached dream-worthy heights. As the profit machine of youth sports reaches a crescendo and a mental health epidemic rages, Todd''s inspiring path to healing and purpose offers desperately needed hope. Marinovich is more than a soul-baring account of one man''s life: it is a call to embrace one''s truth, to defy external pressures, and to cultivate the resilience necessary to recover from inevitable setbacks. Ultimately, Todd''s shocking life experience is hard-won proof that the most powerful force within each of us is love.

Mosses, Liverworts, and Hornworts of the World


A magnificently illustrated guide to the bryophyte species found across the worldBryophytes are a highly diverse group of plants found in nearly all parts of the world and across a range of habitats. The term “bryophyte” describes plants of three closely related lineages: the mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. Ancient in their makeup, bryophytes disperse by spores rather than seeds and grow no more than a few centimeters high, carpeting forest floors or clinging to rocks and tree trunks. Instead of conducting fluids internally (like vascular plants), they absorb water and nutrients externally across the whole body of the plant. Such strategies have enabled bryophytes to survive, and indeed thrive, through the millennia. Mosses, Liverworts, and Hornworts of the World makes sense of their miniature world, differentiating between the three lineages and delving into their evolution, anatomy, and life cycles. The result is an unprecedented in-depth look at these exquisitely beautiful and often overlooked organisms. Features hundreds of stunning color photos of mosses, liverworts, and hornwortsProfiles individual genera across the three groups, including fact boxes and distribution mapsWritten by a world-renowned expert

Reefs of Time


How fossilized reefs hold clues to the survival of corals in the AnthropoceneWith rising global temperatures, pollution, overfishing, ocean acidification, and other problems caused by humans, there’s no question that today’s coral reefs are in trouble. As predictions about the future of these ecosystems grow increasingly dire, scientists are looking in an unlikely place for new ways to save corals: the past. The reefs of yesteryear faced challenges too, from changing sea level to temperature shifts, and understanding how they survived and when they faltered can help guide our efforts to help ensure a future for reefs. Lisa Gardiner weaves together the latest cutting-edge science with stories of her expeditions to tropical locales to show how fossils and other reef remains offer tantalizing glimpses of how corals persisted through time, and how this knowledge can guide our efforts to ensure a future for these remarkable organisms. Gardiner takes readers on an excursion into “the shallow end of deep time”—when marine life was much like today’s yet unaffected by human influence—to explore the cities of fossilized limestone left behind by corals and other reef life millennia ago. The changes in reefs today are unlike anything ever seen before, but the fossil record offers hope that the coral reefs of tomorrow can weather the environmental challenges that lie ahead. A breathtaking journey of scientific discovery, Reefs of Time reveals how lessons from the past can help us to chart a path forward for coral reefs struggling for survival in an age of climate crisis and mass extinction.
