The View from the Shoulder
The story of surfing in Scotland is defined by people who dared to dream in spite of the cold, from Neva MacDonald-Haig and the coffin-lid surfers of Machrihanish, who first took to the waves off the west coast in the 1930s with a little help from a local undertaker, to Andy Bennetts and the pioneers of the 1960s, who discovered many of the nation''s best breaks, to contemporary big wave surfer Ben Larg, a native of the tiny island of Tiree who now travels the world riding skyscraper-sized walls of water for a living.Scotland is also home to a rich and distinctive surfing culture, with its own surfboard shapers, surf instructors, surf filmmakers, surf photographers and surf fashion brands, not to mention surf-inspired artists and musicians. Professional contests held at some of Scotland''s best waves have drawn visits from surfing world champions including Tom Curren, Sunny Garcia and John John Florence, and in recent years Scotland''s own surfers have begun to make their presence felt on the competitive stage, with the Scottish surf team featuring at the World Surfing Games and at Eurosurf after finally gaining official recognition in 2014.The View From the Shoulder draws together 20 years of surf journalism from the pages of The Scotsman newspaper, together with fresh context, to create a portrait of a wave-riding community like no other.

It tells the gripping story of the scientists desperately trying to halt the disease's relentless progress, and shares the latest research uncovering the intricate links between elms and other species. Woven throughout is a deeply lyrical look at the tree's central place in our history, mythology, poetry and folklore. Crucially, there is hope.

A captivating and moving account of the first England women's football team that took part in the 1971 World Cup - detailing the injustice faced by those who took part and its effect on the women's game as a whole. Told by the team themselves and written by the celebrity daughter of the main striker. “Don't laugh, one day there may be a female Arsenal”, one headline read amidst the ridicule following the First Women's World Cup in 1971.

These amateur girls emerged as England's first women's football team at the 1971 World Cup in Mexico, only to face scorn once returned home. They were mocked by the press and their achievements were undermined. Players were banned for three months to two years if they tried to play with another team. The heroes had been punished. But the time has come to tell their truth. Narrated by the daughter of one of the team members, Janice Barton, with unprecedented access to the secrets and insights of the first ever woman's team, this is a multi-generational story celebrating the power of a group of women who refused to accept the status quo - revealing how the events of 1971 shaped mother and daughter's lives both personally and professionally. 50 years later, Gail, her mother, and the rest of the team are ready to tell their story and share the legacy of the lost lionesses.

Shells
Molluscs are extraordinary builders; indeed, their architectural skills are almost unparalleled in the animal world. Who among us has failed to marvel at the wonderful structure of the smallest shell picked up on the beach? Some enthusiasts collect them throughout their lives – attracted by their beauty if they are aesthetes, or sought out for scientific purposes, as in the case of Jacques Senders. In this book, Paul Starosta’s spectacular photographs take the reader on a journey through this astounding collection, first started 50 years ago. These shells, marvels of nature as they are, naturally suggest exotic or futuristic architecture, ancient or Art Nouveau vases, or even precious stones or volcanic rocks, and reaffirm the importance of nature as a source of inspiration for artists and architects. By celebrating the extraordinary variety and architectural refinement of the shells in Jacques and Rita Senders’s collection, the book reveals a world where nature far surpasses human imagination and invention.At the end of the volume, miniature photographs are accompanied by scientific information on shells, their life, characteristics and different families.
Jöjjön a United
Sir Alex Ferguson 2000 és 2010 közötti aranycsapata – A felejthetetlen időszak, ahogyan a manchesteri főszereplők megélték
Bár az Európa-ligában a döntőig jutott, története alighanem legszörnyűbb évadát tudhatja maga mögött 2025-ben a Manchester United futballcsapata. De talán éppen ezért: van-e alkalmasabb pillanat felidézni a jó néhány aranykorszak közül a legutóbbit? A megszállott szurkolóból újságíróvá lett Andy Mitten a Sir Alex Ferguson irányításával 2000 és 2010 között szárnyaló vörösök tizenegy klasszisát szólaltatja meg a sosem hallott történetekkel teli könyvben, és miközben az olvasó elmerül az emlékekben, fény derül a világverő csapat sikereinek szinte minden titkára.
„Ő maga volt a klub, és megtestesített mindent, ami a Manchester Unitedot jelenti” – írja előszavában a diadalmenetben szintén részes Ruud van Nistelrooy Fergusonról, és valóban: ahogyan lapról lapra haladunk, úgy válik egyre nyilvánvalóbbá, hogy játékosai szerint a felülmúlhatatlan mester nélkül az a bizonyos évtized sosem kerülhetett volna a világ futballtörténetének aranylapjaira.
A lebilincselő kötet nemcsak a United továbbra is kitartó magyarországi drukkereinek „kötelező olvasmány”, hanem ott a helye mindazok könyvespolcán, akik kíváncsiak rá: milyen elvek, normák mentén működik egy klub, amely meghódította a világot és földrészeken átívelően állította maga mögé a hűségét feladni a kudarcok idején sem hajlandó, sokmilliós drukkertáborát?
A kötetben megszólaltatott korábbi klasszisok: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Jaap Stam, Diego Forlán, Darren Fletcher, Wes Brown, Patrice Evra, John O’Shea, Gary Neville, Dimitar Berbatov, Nemanja Vidić, Ryan Giggs.
Kompany - The Making Of the Man
Vincent Kompany, a man whose talent and leadership skills continue to impress the footballing world, already has a statue honouring him outside Manchester City''s Etihad Stadium - a rare tribute earned for his total commitment to victory. Never afraid to speak his mind, Kompany says what he believes will give him and his team the best chance of success. Utterly confident in his convictions, his words are expressed with an honesty and intellect that has earned him respect both as a world class player and, now, as an elite coach. By speaking to those who shaped Vincent''s life, this book helps us understand what made Kompany the man he has become and what drives him to succeed. The author, Frank Van de Winkel, speaks to Vincent''s family, his early-years teachers and coaches, fans of the football teams he has played for and managed, as well as those involved in his charitable work in Belgium and Democratic Republic of Congo, and paints a vivid picture of a deep-thinking, compassionate human who has been able to maximise his talents both on and off the pitch. Vincent''s coaching and managerial career sees him destined to reach the pinnacle of his profession - just as he did as a player. Gaining invaluable experience back at Anderlecht saw him move, unexpectedly, to Burnley, where he set about revolutionising a functional style of play, with his side emerging as a run-away success story in the English Championship, and The Clarets returning to the Premier League and regaining their place at the top table. Kompany will have gained invaluable experience from a campaign of struggle and his reputation looks to have survived relegation unblemished. Vincent Kompany''s star continues to rise regardless and his appointment as head coach at Bayern Munich marks a game-changing moment in a career that never ceases to amaze.

Invisible Friends
As we continue to live through a pandemic, all eyes are on microbes: an imperceptible and pervasive threat that hangs heavy on the air and clings to surfaces. But the reality of micro-organisms is far more diverse and life-sustaining than such a notion would have us believe (hence the title of this book). Not only are they omnipresent, but we are highly attuned to their workings – both in the world at large and right here within our own bodies. Meanwhile, cutting-edge microbiome research is changing our understanding of reality, challenging fundamental concepts of free will and individuality. Threaded through everything are microbes: the very glue that holds ecosystems together. This topical, engaging and original book counters the prevailing narrative of microbes as the bane of society, along the way providing much-needed clarity on the overwhelmingly beneficial role they play. We discover how the microbiome is highly relevant to environmental and social equity issues, while there’s also discussion about how microbes may influence our decisions: even the way we think about how we think may need to be revisited. Invisible Friends introduces the reader to a vast, pullulating cohort of minute life – friends you never knew you had.
