Madarak nagykönyve
Több mint tízezer madárfaj él a Földön - ez a könyv közülük a legkülönlegesebbeket mutatja be. Kontinensről kontinensre repít, a latin-amerikai esőerdőktől az afrikai szavannákig, miközben lenyűgöző illusztrációkkal és izgalmas történetekkel tárja fel a madarak világát. Nem határozó, hanem személyes utazás, egy grafikus-alkotó szenvedélyes válogatása: tisztelgés a szárnyas lények szépsége, sokszínűsége és kulturális jelentősége előtt. Egy csodás könyv mindazoknak, akik képesek csendben figyelni. Bolygónk ökológiai egyensúlyának kulcsszereplői, a madarak jelen vannak a tundra jeges csendjében, az amazóniai esőerdők párás félhomályában, az afrikai szavannák végtelen horizontján - és jelen vannak a történeteinkben is. Ez a gazdagon illusztrált kötet különleges módon mutatja be őket: Latin-Amerika színpompás tukánjai és quetzaljai, a Galápagos-szigetek különös endemikus fajai, Afrika ikonikus nektármadarai és gyurgyalagjai, a Falkland-szigetek pingvinjei vagy az amazóniai tangarafélék mind saját történettel és vizuális karakterrel jelennek meg. Egyszerre szól a tapasztalt madarászhoz és ahhoz, aki először emeli fel a fejét, hogy meghallgasson egy madárdalt.
Sports Knight
Sports Knight uncovers the life stories behind the nation’s sporting knights and dames, offering a compelling alternative history of British sport and society across the past century. Why were these sporting greats held up as national role models? And what does this say about our priorities and values? Inevitably, the book features more men than women, more rich than poor and more white people than black people. That, in itself, is revealing. For no matter what we think of the selection process (‘an utter crapshoot’ is the view of one national newspaper), the stories of the sporting heroes whom the government has chosen to honour with a title tell us much about the history of British sport and society. The six-time Olympic champion Chris Hoy once said, ‘To become a knight from riding a bike – it’s mad!’ And he’s right: it is mad. But, as Sports Knight shows, there is method in the madness.
Bird Dog Days, Wingshooting Ways
An expanded edition of Rutledge's stories on game-bird hunting and devoted canine companions Archibald Rutledge has long been recognized as one of the finest sporting scribes this country has ever produced. A prolific writer who specialized in stories on nature and hunting, over the course of a long and prolific career Rutledge produced more than fifty books of poetry and prose, held the position of South Carolina's poet laureate for thirty-three years, and garnered numerous honorary degrees and prizes for his writings. In this revised and expanded edition of Bird Dog Days, Wingshooting Ways, noted outdoor writer Jim Casada draws together Rutledge's stories on the southern heartland, deer hunting, turkey hunting, and Carolina Christmas hunts and traditions. This collection, first published in 1998, turns to Rutledge's writings on two subjects near and dear to his heart that he understood with an intimacy growing out of a lifetime of experience—upland bird hunting and hunting dogs. Its contents range from delightful tales of quail and grouse hunts to pieces on special dogs and some of their traits. Bird Dog Days, Wingshooting Ways also includes a long fictional piece, "The Odyssey of Bolio," which shows that Rutledge's literary mastery extended beyond simple tales for outdoorsmen.
Wisdom of the Marsh
Wisdom of the Marsh takes an in-depth look at the Montezuma Wetlands Complex through the overlapping lens of environmental and social justice. Exploring the history of the land and its relationship with the people who inhabited it, writer Clare Howard and photographer David Zalaznik present a complete portrait of the marsh’s exploitation and restoration, providing a hopeful perspective through which to view our future. Through the ceaseless work of professionals and volunteers, the Montezuma wetlands are slowly healing. Bird species are returning to the area, plant life is beginning to thrive once more, and educational programs continue the work and care that had formed the heart of Indigenous communities’ stewardship of this land. By providing a new understanding of wetlands and promoting renewed ways to interact with them, Wisdom of the Marsh offers an optimistic vision of how we can continue to rehabilitate our environment.
Rocket Boys
This is a tale of the generation of test pilots flying experimental aircraft powered by rocket motors during the period from 1945 to the mid-1970s. It is not a technical description of the aircraft they flew but the narrative of the men who built the machines and the pilots who took to the air to achieve unprecedented speeds and altitudes unequalled to the present. It is a human story, but one carved out of the evolving post-war world, coming to terms with a new tension between global superpowers and one in which technological progress was arguably the greatest it has been since 1945. The book integrates the story of post-war US industry, the competitive drive to survive between plane-makers made rich by war production, challenged by the changed times of demobilisation and peace. Into the mix come fighter pilots and company men eager to sustain their craft and take on new challenges, alongside an emerging generation of post-war graduates straight from engineering or flight school, eager to make their mark. With a focus on those who achieved extraordinary things like Major 'Chuck' Yeager, Scott Crossfield and Joe Walker, there is also inclusion of those outside of the US's endeavours including how Eric 'Winkle' Brown became the only non-German to fly the rocket-powered Me 163 and the test-flying of John Booth and Peter Lamb. Rocket Boys is a record of the glorious years when nothing seemed impossible and which produced a group that propelled aviation into the stratosphere with devil-may-care attitudes and personal fortitude, with death and disaster stalking the very best.
Picture Encyclopedia of Passenger Ships 1955
The year 1955 came at the height of a boom for passenger ships. World War II had ended a decade before, business was restored, global markets had reopened, and shipping for trade and transport was in high demand. Picture Encyclopedia of Passenger Ships 1955 is an international directory of worldwide passenger ships and their services in that peak year, when one could sail from Liverpool to Valparaiso, Genoa to Cape Town, or Hong Kong to San Francisco. Over 150 vessels are included, with photographs, itineraries and essential statistics, covering all the great shipping lines of the 1950s and their routes to every corner of the globe.
The Southern Railway 1923 - 1935
The Southern Railway was the smallest of the ‘Big Four’ railway companies created under the Railways Act 1921 having a route mileage of 2,129 miles stretching London in the north to Plymouth in the south and from Ramsgate in the east to Padstow in the west. Its ships served France and the Channel Islands. Its principal revenue came from passengers and not goods traffic unlike the other three companies. In many ways it was the most progressive of the four being the only one to go for extensive electrification. This volume covers the years 1923 from the Company’s formation to 1935 and the completion of the first stage of the main line electrifications. As well the electrification of the Southern’s entire suburban system and the beginning of the main line electrifications the years saw a number of other major works including the re-signalling of Waterloo Station and the rebuilding of stations in Hastings, Dover and Southampton along with improvements to Southampton Docks. The Railway had to fight growing competition from bus and coach operators for domestic services and airlines for international services. The Company invested in both bus companies and in Imperial Airways and later participated in Railway Air Services. Its motive power was varied with at the formation of the company some locomotives dating back to mid 1860s and some only recently built. To these were added a variety of classes including the less than successful Lord Nelson Class and the very successful Schools Class.
Zahrádky
Kniha se soustřeďuje především na zahrádkaření v zahrádkových osadách. Právě zahrádkové osady jsou součástí evropských měst už 150 let. A jsou v Evropě všudypřítomné. Jsou tedy dlouhodobou – třebaže proměnlivou – a běžnou součástí měnících se měst. Zahrádky i celé zahrádkové osady představují prostory, které jsou pro moderní evropské město typické. Díky tomu je možné zahrádky použít jako nástroj k důkladnému prozkoumání vztahu mezi městem, městským životem a přírodou, ale i proměn těchto vztahů v průběhu času.

Carlos Had a Dream
Carlos Had a Dream charts the remarkable Carlos Carvalhal era at Sheffield Wednesday, which saw him become the first foreign manager in the Owls' long history when he arrived in the summer of 2015. In the months that followed the Portuguese transformed the culture at Hillsborough, turning Wednesday into promotion contenders with a style of football that wowed Owls fans and took them as close to a return to the Premier League as they have been since the turn of the Millennium. It was early in the Dejphon Chansiri ownership era and the Owls played football that reignited belief amongst a fanbase and carried Wednesday to within touching distance of Premier League glory - before it all gradually fell apart. This is the story of that period, told by a man who was at the coalface for every cough and splutter.

This is Our Game
"Reminds me of why I love football - at its heart, it's a reflection of the communities that are built around it. A special book." - Jamie CarragherYou know when you’re in a Football City. The murals, the billboards, the graffiti, the colours on the bars and pubs. No two football cities are the same. That cross on the club badge, commemorating a 1st century fisherman martyr (Ajax). The ‘cemetery’ of graves dedicated to the club’s league rivals (Napoli). The guttural roar of fans chanting “Aupa Athletic, aupa Euskal Herria!” – a fierce declaration of Basque pride and identity, echoing through San Mamés like a battle cry (Bilbao). In a world of increasing corporate and homogenous sport, football cities preserve culture and exhibit the particular and the unique with glorious passion. Fandom in a football city is for everyone: for boys and girls, for elderly men and the infirm; for the fashionable, the outcasts and the hopeless: it gives their days meaning and clarity – it can unite divided cities and divide the otherwise united. This is Our Game is a celebration of these unique fan cultures. Part travel, part social history, giving voice to distinctive local experiences, revealing the atmospheres, attitudes, fables, fashions, tensions and triumphs of twenty-two unique places and communities across all continents. It was the Russian composer (and FC Zenit fan) Dmitri Shostakovich who said: “Football is the ballet of the masses.” This book takes us inside the dance.
The Last Ditch
'A BOOK THAT ENTERS THE GAA CANON' THE 42'A MAGICAL-MYSTERY TOUR OF A GAA SEASON' IRISH INDEPENDENT'A cracking read ... a championship season as redemption song.' MICHAEL CLIFFORD"All the tension of a tight knockout encounter ... one of the books of the year." MIKE McCORMACKTwenty-one years on from his bestselling The Road to Croker, sportswriter Eamonn Sweeney set out to follow the All-Ireland championships around the country once again. But there was one problem. To make the journey, he would have to confront a secret fear that had quietly shaped his life. On the pitch, The Last Ditch captures the drama of a hurling season for the ages and a football championship that tested even the most loyal supporters - a landscape of unlikely triumphs, renaissances, shocks, cliffhangers and heartbreak. Off the field, it becomes something deeper: one man's reckoning with middle age, masculinity and a crippling travel phobia that for two decades had dictated the span of his quiet, rural existence. As he moves through towns, terraces and conversations, Sweeney discovers not just the unifying spirit of the GAA, but the possibility of reclaiming a life he thought he'd lost. Both an unforgettable sporting odyssey and a profoundly human memoir, The Last Ditch is a testament to how in Ireland, when all else fails, the GAA brings us home again.
Coconut
Coconuts have been around for longer than Homo sapiens; they have been turned into art, taken part in religious rituals and been a sign of wealth and success. They have saved lives, not only by providing nourishment, but also as part of the charcoal filters in First World War gas masks. It was coconuts that triggered the mutiny on the Bounty, and coconuts that saved the life of the man who went on to become the 35th President of the United States. The coconut has long been the unseen player in the endeavours of industrialists and bomb makers, physicians and silversmiths, smugglers and snake charmers. To this day, coconuts shape the lives of people around the world. At a time when coconut products crowd the shelves of supermarkets, health food shops and beauty salons, Robin Laurance looks beyond the oils and health drinks to uncover the unexpected, roles played by the coconut palm and its nut in past and present.
