The Social Lives of Birds
'A tour-de-force survey of how birds live their lives - with all the drama, surprise, humour, sadness and amazement of any human soap-opera' - Stephen Moss, author of Ten Birds That Changed the World'Utterly fascinating . . . Strassmann is the perfect guide to this world: an author as much fascinated by the science and research as she is motivated by the sheer joy and wonder of the birds themselves' - James Macdonald Lockhart, author of RaptorIn The Social Lives of Birds, evolutionary biologist Joan Strassmann examines what it means for birds of a feather to flock together. Some birds sleep together. Some join the foraging groups of other species. Some are only social during the breeding season, forming nesting colonies in trees, cliffs, and sandbanks. Some are altruistic, helping to rear young that are not their own. Some males perform mating dances together. Strassmann explains how flocks provide safety in numbers, roosts offer warmth and shelter, and colonies allow for protected breeding. But group behavior is not without its costs-including increased competition, infidelities, tick infestations, and more. Strassmann exposes the conflicts birds face and the many ways in which they resolve these conflicts. With stories of birds from around the world-from broad-winged hawks that migrate south together in the fall, tree swallows that roost together in the thousands, and tropical anis that nest in communes-The Social Lives of Birds explores the different kinds of bird groups and what to look for when watching them. Above all, it reveals that solitary life, it seems, is not for the birds. 'Delightful and informative' - Lee Dugatkin, author of How to Tame a Fox (and Build a Dog)

Zokology
Like it or not, playing golf will pull you inside out and expose your soul - and there''s no place to hide. Zokology isn''t just a book about golf. It''s about learning to think when the way you''ve always thought is no longer working. And for Dick Zokol, that meant learning how to navigate the noise in his head and figuring out how to survive on the PGA Tour. Zokol''s Cinderella story began when he ''walked on'' the Brigham Young University golf team. Four years later, he captained BYU to victory in the NCAA Championship. Later that summer he won the Canadian Amateur and got through the notorious PGA Tour Q-School. But the fairy tale ended and Zokol struggled as a rookie on the PGA tour. Dealing with intense anxiety, expectations, and feeling he didn''t belong, he battled the loneliness of life on the road. He was soon desperately searching for something that would help him find solid ground. From here, Zokol opens up about the real stuff - the mental and emotional toil that defined his 22 years on the PGA Tour. His two wins on the PGA Tour, both in 1992 were evidence his path had taken hold. In his career, Zokol played over 450 Tour events and learned success wasn''t about the golf swing - success and failure are about your mind. Employing a thought-protocol can get you through those difficult situations. Zokology is raw, real, and sometimes uncomfortable. It''s a guide for when you get off track - on the course or just in your own mind.
Circuit de Chimay
In Belgium, only the Spa-Francorchamps circuit can rival the history and prestige of the Chimay layout. Created in 1926 with the very first Grand Prix des Frontieres, this road circuit has, over the decades, become a must-see event for lovers of speed, competition and pure emotion. On the winding roads of the “boot” of Hainaut, the greatest names have shone: Jacky Ickx, Didier de Radigues, Paul Frere, the Pilette brothers, Lucien and Mauro Bianchi, as well as two-wheel giants such as Giacomo Agostini, Barry Sheene, Phil Read and Johnny Cecotto. Chimay has also welcomed Emerson Fittipaldi, James Hunt, Henri Pescarolo, Derek Bell, and even some unexpected figures such as Mister Bean and Christophe Dechavanne. Today, the spirit of the circuit remains intact: Supermoto in spring, Classic Bikes and the Open Trophy in summer, not to mention the spectacular European Bug-In, which draws thousands of Volkswagen and Beetle enthusiasts to Chimay every year. Text in English and French.
Railroaded
The New York City subway system is one of the largest and oldest in the world, still carrying traces of the transport systems that came before it. Some of its elevated tracks are remnants of steam railroads, and some tunnels run where canoes served as ferries. For passengers, riding the subway can feel like stepping into another world, dark and dank and sometimes dangerous. Now just imagine what it's like to work there every day. One of the few subway workers who went on to earn a PhD from Harvard, historian Fred Naiden gives readers a firsthand look at what it was like to work as a subway porter, a motorman, and a locomotive engineer during the 1980s. He recounts the labor activism of his fellow MTA employees, who advocated for better conditions, higher pay, and less institutional racism. He also shares wild stories about the riders he encountered, from a homeless former realtor who worked as a mob frontman to an angry passenger who pulled a gun on him while the train was stuck at a stop signal. Above all, Railroaded will answer many questions about the New York subway system, including how it could be improved.
Hare
In the Encounters in the Wild series, renowned nature writer Jim Crumley gets up close and personal with British wildlife. With his inimitable passion and vision, he relives memorable encounters with some of our best-loved native species, offering intimate insights into their extraordinary lives. “The moon climbed high above the trees beyond the far side of the field, contriving a night of raw, primitive beauty out of the still-lingering wisps of mist, the pale, tumbling curves of field, the parallel inked-in blue-black curves of the hedges, the quiet and surprisingly pale shades of the distant firth. Tawny owls stabbed at the darkness with sharp, two-syllable shrieks. Then there was a hare, far down the field. It ran easily out into the moonlight from the hedge on the far side and at once it was partnered in dance by its own giant shadow.”
Ghosts of the Night
No animal better symbolises the desire to get closer and the need to respect distance than the owl. These remarkable creatures are both among and apart from us: sharing the same environments but carrying a sense of mystique as they beat their wings low over the fields where they hunt, or swoop up and around to their nest, high in a tree or haystack. There is something ethereal, awe- and fear-inspiring about the appearance and movement of these birds: graceful, distinctive, almost otherworldly. It is not hard to see why observers long ago watched the owl and deemed it a visitor from another place, with either a great or terrible message to impart. Every encounter with an owl is special, somehow new, and stands alone even as it helps you to understand patterns and connections. The silent approach of a white Barn Owl angel over a paddock is one of the most alluring images in the British countryside. The t’wit and the answering t’wo of the Tawny owl is a classic of the night. Both are tiny insights into the amazing lives of the owls that are found around us. Ghosts of the Night is a wonderful insight into every element of our British Owls – Barn and Tawny and their even more enigmatic cousins the Short-eared, Long-eared and Little. How well do they hear, how silently do they fly and how do they live in the ever changing countryside. Chris Sperring is the acknowleged expert and he explains everything you have ever wanted to know about these amazing creatures.
Lords of the Ring
'Brilliant and electrifying... I loved every trash-talking, spandex-wearing and body-slamming page of it' Dan Schreiber, Host of 'No Such Thing As A Fish'A behind-the-scenes look at the weird and wonderful world of professional wrestling. Wrestling is at a new peak of popularity, but for years it has operated as an unregulated soap opera with controversial storylines and surprising presentations. It is a world where fact and fiction are regularly blurred, where stereotypes dominate and ruthlessness reigns supreme. But what does this eccentric phenomenon tell us about our society and culture? And why does it matte? n Lords of the Ring, Dan Higgins, makes it his mission to find out. Examining the myriad ways that our social, cultural and political landscape intersects with the sport, he explores how wrestling relates to and has shaped our ideas about gender, race, national identity and sexuality. Higgins also turns to the sport's relationship with politics - including how Donald Trump cultivated a character on the scene - shining a light on the key characters inside and outside of the ropes, as well as their unlikely, unusual and sometimes dark stories.
Hatalom és dicsőség
A labdarúgó-világbajnokság a Föld legnézettebb sporteseménye. Egy globális őrület, amely mindenkit beszippant: a 2022-es tornára 211 nemzet nevezett. Bár közel egy évszázada íródik a története, eddig nem született róla átfogó krónika. Ez a könyv – friss interjúkkal és lebilincselő riportokkal – most ezen változtat. 1930-ra a futball kinőtte az olimpiát. A FIFA új, profikat is fogadó tornája új szintre emelte a nemzetközi focit. Az uruguayi kezdetek még kaotikusak voltak: félkész stadion, csapnivaló bíráskodás és egy gyúró, aki véletlenül leütötte a saját játékosát – a döntőben aztán Uruguay 4–2-re verte Argentínát. Ebből a zűrzavarból nőtt ki a modern világbajnokság, egy olyan kulturális jelenség, amely semmi máshoz nem fogható módon hozza össze a világot. Kérdezzünk meg bárkit az utcán Szenegálról: jó eséllyel Papa Bouba Diop 2002-es gólját említi majd, amit a franciák ellen lőtt, amivel nemcsak a címvédő, hanem az egykori gyarmattartó felett is szimbolikus diadalt arattak. A vb-knek politikai súlyuk is van. Nyugat-Németország 1954-es sikere a világba való visszatérést jelentette; Horvátország 1998-as elődöntője pedig a nemzeti öntudatuknak adott hatalmas lökést. De a foci kiszámíthatatlan: az 1969-es „futballháborúban” egy vb-selejtező robbantotta ki a feszültséget Salvador és Honduras között. Napjainkban pedig a kormányok már a rendezéssel igyekeznek politikai tőkét kovácsolni: Oroszország és Katar világbajnoksága a „sportswashing” (sportpolitikai tisztára mosás) ékes példája volt. Jonathan Wilson nemcsak a meccseket, gólokat és botrányokat kelti életre, hanem a pályázatok körüli alkudozások és visszaélések kulisszatitkait is feltárja. Mert a világbajnokságok története egyben a világ története is. A könyv pedig mindezek teljes krónikája. Jonathan Wilson a The Guardian és a World Soccer állandó publicistája, valamint a The Blizzard alapító-főszerkesztője. Társműsorvezetője az It Was What It Was futballtörténeti podcastnak és egyike a Libero podcast hét állandó szakértőjének. Tizenhárom könyv szerzője, köztük olyan műveké – amelyek egy része Magyarországon is megjelent –, mint: ? Futballforradalmak ? A magyar futball aranykora ? A Barcelona-örökség ? Az argentin foci – Argentína futballtörténete a kezdetektől Messiig ? A Liverpool története 10 meccsben ? Kívülállók – A focikapusok története
The Accidental Tour-ist

The Great Auk
The life, death and afterlife of one of the true icons of extinction, the Great AukThe great auk was a flightless, goose-sized bird superbly adapted for life at sea. Fat, flush with feathers and easy to capture, the birds were in trouble whenever sailors visited their once-remote breeding colonies. Places like Funk Island, off north-east Newfoundland, became scenes of unimaginable slaughter, with birds killed in their millions. By 1800 the auks of Funk Island were gone. A scramble by private collectors for specimens of the final few birds then began, a bloody, unthinking destruction of one of the world’s most extraordinary species. But their extinction in 1844 wasn’t the end of the great auk story, as the bird went on to have a remarkable afterlife; skins, eggs and skeletons became the focus for dozens of collectors in a story of pathological craving and unscrupulous dealings that goes on to this day. In a book rich with insight and packed with tales of birds and of people, Tim Birkhead reveals previously unimagined aspects of the bird’s life before humanity, its death on the killing shores of the North Atlantic, and the unrelenting subsequent quest for its remains. The great auk remains a symbol of human folly and the necessity of conservation. This book tells its story.
