Abarth, Radbourne Racing and Me
The 1960s was the golden age of European motorsport, with two countries leading the saloon car field: Britain with the Mini and Italy with the Fiats 500 and 600. As their rivalry was further ignited by the creation of the Mini Cooper and Fiat Abarth, there was a fervent need for tuning and ‘go faster’ component companies – and here, one of Britain’s most iconic, Radbourne Racing, was born.In this captivating memoir, Lincoln Small – the last surviving co-founder of Radbourne Racing – shares the untold story of how a small company, fuelled by ingenuity, left an indelible mark on British motorsport history. Through a retelling rich with anecdotes of both rivalries and triumphs, Small brings to life the glamour, grit and camaraderie of those unforgettable halcyon days, offering a heartfelt tribute to the people, cars and innovations that shaped motorsport’s most exhilarating era.Featuring rare, personal photographs and comprehensive appendices, Abarth, Radbourne Racing and Me is both a nostalgic celebration and a vital record of a team and a time when every lap was a leap into the unknown. For petrol-heads and racing enthusiasts alike, this is a story of inspiration and legacy that will resonate long after the final page.

We all know instinctively that colour is good for us and it is colour that draws me out into my garden.' Lucy Bellamy

Rok štěněte
Jaké to je být štěnětem? Na to se snaží přijít autorka bestselleru Uvnitř psa Alexandra Horowitzová. Strávila rok pečlivým sledováním každodenní existence svého štěněte a zamýšlí se nad jeho projevy ve světle současných vědeckých poznatků o raném vývoji psa.
Jen málokdo zná svého psa už od prvního dne jeho života. Stvoření, které se stane nedílnou součástí naší rodiny, naším stálým společníkem a nejlepším přítelem, se narodí bez nás, do vlastní rodiny. Jeho rozhodující raný vývoj, přerod štěněte v psa, jde obvykle zcela mimo nás. Psí badatelka Alexandra Horowitzová se to pokusila změnit se svým novým štěnětem. V knize Rok štěněte mapuje vývoj fenky Quiddity (Quid) od jejího příchodu na svět až po první narozeniny.
Horowitzová nejprve pozoruje první týdny Quiddity s její psí mámou a deseti sourozenci. Poté, co štěně přejde do domácnosti tří lidí, dvou velkých psů a ostražité kočky, sleduje autorka každý jeho další týden v novém prostředí. Dokumentuje sociální a kognitivní vývojová stadia, která spousta lidí v životě štěněte přehlédne, pokud se věnují pouze trénování správných návyků a žádoucího chování. Výcvik chování psa, když se na něj příliš soustředíme, snadno zahltí první měsíce psího života v nové rodině, a většinou nám potom uniká onen zásadní vývoj, v němž se štěně stává samo sebou, v období odpovídajícímu kojeneckému věku, dětství, rané pubertě a dospívání.
Kniha Rok štěněte je nepostradatelná pro každého, kdo prochází frustrujícím, zábavným a jednoznačně báječným prvním rokem psího života.

The Physics of Birds and Birding
Birding has become one of the world’s most popular pastimes for good reason. The vibrant colors, aerial finesse, and vocal talents of birds draw us to nature, stimulate our admiration and pique our curiosity. We cannot help but have questions as we encounter these elegant creatures. How do iridescent feathers seemingly glow? What must a hummingbird do to hover? How does a tiny animal produce all that music? By what means do some birds sense Earth’s magnetic field and use it for navigation? Why is it that peering through a few pieces of glass can make a distant bird seem so close? Such enquiry brings us to the realm of physics. The Physics of Birds and Birding sets out to blaze the best possible trail through this landscape. It steers clear complex technical specialization, while avoiding overused paths that lead to unsatisfying, facile explanations. It is a guide not just to the fascinating science of birds and birding, but to the deeper connections that tie all of nature together. Birders and naturalists from all backgrounds will find much of interest here – both in terms of mysteries they’ve long wondered about, as well as some surprising linkages among what is seemingly unrelated. This unique and remarkable book is an invitation to appreciate what you might not have been seeing all along.

Baseball's First Superstar
If there was a first face of baseball, it was arguably Christopher “Christy” Mathewson. At the opening of the twentieth century, baseball was considered an undignified game played by ruffians for gamblers’ benefit. Mathewson changed all that. When he signed with the Giants in 1900, his contract stated he wouldn’t pitch on Sundays, and he was known for his honesty, integrity, and good looks. In his first fourteen seasons, as a pitcher for the Giants, Mathewson never won fewer than twenty games in a season, and he almost single-handedly won the 1905 World Series. In 1918, though age thirty-eight and exempt from military service, he enlisted for World War I, where he exposed himself to nearly lethal amounts of mustard gas as he taught soldiers how to put on gas masks. When he returned home, he was diagnosed with lung problems and tuberculosis, which led to his untimely death at the age of forty-five. After Mathewson’s death, his eulogies were many, but it was impossible to catch the essence of his life in a single newspaper column. Jane Mathewson, his widow, was determined to provide the reading public with a more intimate portrait of her husband and approached prominent sportswriter Bozeman Bulger, who had known Mathewson for twenty years. Bulger wrote a series of articles titled “The Life Story of Christy Mathewson.” His portraits about the player were amplified by original accounts from Jane, and several unpublished chapters from Mathewson himself, which had been discovered among his papers. These combined accounts allow readers to hear from Mathewson and those who knew him best. A superstar long before that term was coined, Mathewson became an icon of sportsmanship. He was posthumously elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame at its first induction ceremony in 1936. In Baseball’s First Superstar Alan D. Gaff brings Mathewson to life through Mathewson’s own writings and those of others, largely lost to history until now.
