The Lion's Historian
“Until the lion has a historian of his own, the tale of the hunt will always glorify the hunter.” Sandra Swart takes up the challenge of that African proverb and, with this book, becomes the lion’s historian. As a species, humans are not alone; but our history has been written as though we were. Swart insists on a multispecies retelling of our more-than-human past as she reconstructs a shifting series of significant interspecies relationships, from quirky, idiosyncratic connections to others that triggered major changes. Embracing a radical interdisciplinarity informed by a background in history and environmental studies, Swart combines the natural sciences with the social sciences, oral history, indigenous knowledge, and archival research. She blends current thinking about animal sentience, agency, cognition, and emotion to offer a new way to understand animals’ roles in our shared history. The animals in this book-baboons, cows, elephants, hippos, horses, jackals, lions, Nazi cattle, okapi, police dogs, quagga, sheep, and white ants-exemplify different facets of our shared past. With this animal-centric lens, decades of research come together in a collection that takes animals seriously. It is a book with claws and fangs, tearing through conventional narratives to ask, Are we prepared to move beyond the convention that “history” is the story of only our own species?
Phytopolis
The conquest of new lands has been the greatest occupation of our species: for hundreds of thousands of years, humans have searched for new territories to inhabit, finding in the city the best place to live in the last hundred years. Looking at the parabola of our geographical expansion, it sounds like humans have gone from being a generalist species, capable of colonizing any environment, to very quickly becoming a specialized species, capable of thriving only within a particular habitat. The city seems to have become the only place where we can expect to thrive and reproduce, because it is the only place where our specialization gives us the best chance of survival, and quality of life. However, ''species specialization'' is only effective in a stable environment: in changing environmental conditions, it becomes dangerous. And if the resources the city needs to thrive are not unlimited, global warming can permanently change the environment of our cities - an event that would be fatal. But it is the city itself, as it is today, that is the main driver of environmental destruction. Mankind is confronted with a paradox: we must rethink our cities and make them a lasting ecological niche. In this clear, accessible, and fascinating work, Stefano Mancuso proposes a green solution: how would our cities be transformed if their framework was modeled on plants?
The Rise of Major League Soccer
Major League Soccer, armed with its massive Apple sponsorship, the imminent arrival of the 2026 FIFA World Cup in North America, the hosting of the COPA America tournament in 2024, and the signing of the game’s GOAT, Lionel Messi, could make MLS one of the world’s biggest leagues and one, within the next five years, capable of keeping credible company with European leagues such as La Liga, Serie A, Ligue 1, and Bundesliga. InThe Rise of Major League Soccer: Building a Global Giant, experienced sports business experts Rick Burton and Norm O’Reilly dig into the slow but sure growth of Major League Soccer in North America and the advent of major European teams like Manchester United, Real Madrid, Chelsea, FC Barcelona, Arsenal, Inter Milan, Bayern Munich, Liverpool and others attracting huge fan bases in the United States. Additionally, they detail how the MLS is building a global sports entity which is already commanding international attention from rival leagues by prioritizing digital marketing, international media platforms, creative global partnerships, investment in superstar players, and rapid expansion.
Fenland Nature
Beneath their huge and spectacular skies, the Fenlands of East Anglia are in dynamic flux. Emerging as dense woodland from the retreating glaciers of the last ice age, the forests were drenched beneath a rising water table to become a vast, impenetrable wetland teeming with life. These swamps were inhospitable to most but provided refuge for rebels, outcasts and warriors such as Boudicca and Hereward the Wake. Now this wet wilderness has, over the last centuries of the millennium, been irreversibly and drastically tamed.At its finest, the biodiversity here was comparable to tropical rainforests. The drainage of the Fens was an ecological disaster but within their tiny remnants there are still opportunities to connect with that lost world. Season by season, this book documents, with stunning photographs and insightful text, the intense ecological richness in these pockets of ancient fen, alongside the wildlife spectacles that draw thousands of visitors to the seasonal wetlands of the Ouse and Nene Washes.As the ancient peat soils turn to dust after a century of intensive farming, the future of the Fens pivots on rising sea levels, agricultural pressures and visions of rewilding. The dramatic changes to the ecology of the Fens represent on a national scale the same issues that face communities and ecosystems the world over. At yet another crossroads in its history, Fenland Nature offers a portal into the hidden wonders of this unique, challenging and complex landscape ? while turning our gaze to its future.

„A futballista életében alighanem a tizenegyesrúgás jár a legnagyobb stresszel. Az ilyen helyzetek nem a technikai képzettség, hanem a mentális alkalmasság próbatételei.” „Ha legalább a felét tudtam volna annak, ami ebben a könyvben szerepel, sokkal nagyobb vitrinre lenne szükségem a trófeáimnak.” Edwin van der Sar (a Manchester United és a holland válogatott egykori kapusa) A tizenegyespárbaj a nemzetközi élsport egyik legsúlyosabb drámájaként él a köztudatban. A szorongással teli várakozás, az egyre fokozódó rettegés, a magányos séta a tizenegyespontig… És aztán egyetlen lövés, amelyet az egész világ lélegzet-visszafojtva vár. Még azok sem tudják kivonni magukat ezeknek a pillanatoknak a hatása alól, akik csak alkalomszerűen követik a futballt. De mi történik valójában a labdarúgó agyában és testében ezekben a rendkívül stresszes pillanatokban? Mi az oka, hogy vannak, akik remekelnek, míg mások összeomlanak a feladat súlya alatt? Végső soron mi dönt arról, hogy melyik fél tud felülemelkedni a másikon a tizenegyespárbajokban? Hol húzódik a határ a diadal és a katasztrófa között? Ebben az úttörő kutatásokat összegző könyvben a sportpszichológus Geir Jordet a tizenegyespárbajoknak szinte az összes elemét külön vizsgálatnak veti alá, és ezen keresztül meglepő felfedezéseket tesz a stresszről, illetve annak az emberre gyakorolt hatásairól. Két évtizednyi aprólékos kutatásra támaszkodva a szerző élénk színekkel lefestett esettanulmányokon keresztül avat be a futball leginkább idegőrlő pillanatainak kulisszái mögé. Jordet számos interjút készített szupersztárokkal, akik megosztották vele a gondolataikat. A tizenegyespárbajban, akárcsak a való életben, sokszor a parányi, alig észrevehető döntések jelentik a különbséget a siker és a kudarc között. Miután elolvastuk ezt a könyvet, friss belátásokkal gazdagodhatunk arról, hogy pontosan mi is zajlik ezekben a rendkívüli helyzetekben – és miként tudunk mi magunk is jobban teljesíteni nyomás alatt. „Lebilincselő, meglepő és mélyen emberi vizsgálódás a világ egyik legizgalmasabb színházáról.” James Graham, a labdarúgás világáról szóló Dear Anglia című színdarab írója

Nature Needs You
LONGLISTED FOR THE WAINWRIGHT PRIZE FOR CONSERVATION 2025?'Reading Hannah’s story, compellingly told, you will fall in love with these increasingly endangered birds, true masters of the sky.’ Jane Goodall, PhD, DBE ?The inspirational story of a bird lover who became a nature-warrior in a David v Goliath battle to save swifts from extinction. Nature Needs You tells the compelling story of how Hannah, without campaigning experience, funding or contacts, set out to save swifts from extinction in the UK. Her mission is to change the law and make ‘swift bricks’ mandatory so that the birds who nest in our walls will have a future in Britain. Nature Needs You delves into the highs and lows of trying to win hearts and minds, grab the news agenda with her naked Feather Speech, win Caroline Lucas and Lord Zac Goldsmith’s support, navigate meetings with Secretaries of State and debates in the Houses of Parliament, survive the trolling and midnight self-doubt and raise a petition with the requisite 100,000 signatures for a Parliamentary debate. At stake, with a decline in numbers of over 60% since 1995, are the birds who have become our symbol of summer, the swifts screaming in the skies above us. Steeped in love for the wild, by a talented writer, Nature Needs You is a clarion call to save the nature on our doorsteps and to prove that passion can be a superpower in bringing change to nature-depleted Britain. Raw, funny, self-deprecating and unstoppable in turn, this is nature writing with the pace of a thriller. Hannah is now knocking at the door of the new Labour Secretary of State for Housing, in the hope that, where Rishi Sunak and Michael Gove failed, Angela Rayner and Matthew Pennycook will save our swifts. ‘I applaud Hannah’s book; her inner steel and her sassy take on conservation are inspiring. I am so heartened that there are courage-driven young women holding nature in the light so that it WILL be seen by the powerful.’ Mary Colwell, author of Curlew Moon ‘This book might make you scream. It is the story of a fight that started with a promise to a small bird. It is about bird spirit and the spirit of a very singular human. Hannah Bourne-Taylor has a searing eye for both truth and charlatans.‘ Keggie Carew, author of Beastly ‘A wonderful book that will make you furious, hopeful and inspired by turns. Buy it, read it and then become an activist yourself.’ Roger Morgan-Grenville, author of Shearwaters

A Season on the Brink
''ENTHRALLING'' FourFourTwo''STIRRING'' Dublin Herald''FASCINATING'' Red and White Kop''ASTONISHING'' Bleacher ReportThe Sunday Times BestsellerTwentieth anniversary edition, fully updated with a new foreword from Rafael BenitezWhen Rafael Benitez was appointed manager of under-achieving Liverpool at the start of the 2004-05 season, the reaction of many fans was ''Who the **** is Rafael Benitez?''. After a wonderful spell at Valencia, the Spaniard arrived to take over Liverpool''s famous Boot Room, determined to change the club''s fortunes and win over a disillusioned Kop. In just one season, Benitez''s importation of Spanish players, coaching methods and diet led to a revolution, usurping José Mourinho''s Chelsea to reach the European Champions League final in Istanbul. It was a match that would go down in history as one of the greatest of all time. At half-time, Liverpool were 3-0 down to Carlo Ancelotti''s AC Milan, a team many regarded as the best in the world, filled with stars such as Paolo Maldini, Kaká and Andrea Pirlo. However, against all the odds, Liverpool produced a stunning comeback, with goals from club captain Steven Gerrard, Vladimir Šmicer and Xabi Alonso, before a dramatic penalty shoot-out saw the Reds clinch European glory. Featuring exclusive interviews with Benitez himself, assistant manager Pako Ayestarán and key first-team players, this is the behind-the-scenes story of Rafa''s remarkable success with Liverpool.
The Accidental Garden
SHORTLISTED FOR THE RICHARD JEFFRIES AWARD A WATERSTONES BEST NATURE WRITING BOOK OF 2024 PICKA BBC WILDLIFE BOOK OF THE YEAR 2024 ''Delightful ... Mabey is the doyen of UK nature writing'' New Statesman''Both instructive and exciting, often ecstatic... Mabey is a great, pioneering nature writer'' Irish Times''Our greatest nature writer'' New ScientistWe regard gardens as our personal dominions, where we can create whatever worlds we desire. But they are also occupied by myriads of other organisms, all with their own lives to lead. The conflict between these two power bases, Richard Mabey suggests, is a microcosm of what is happening in the larger world. Rooted in the daily dramas of his own Norfolk garden, Mabey offers a different scenario, where nature becomes an equal partner, a ''gardener'' itself. Against a background of disordered seasons he watches his ''accidental'' garden reorganising itself. Ants sow cowslip seeds in the parched grass. Moorhens take to nesting in trees. A spectacular self-seeded rose springs up in the gravel. The garden becomes a place of cultural and ecological fusion, and perhaps a metaphor for the troubled planet. This is vintage Mabey - maverick, intensely observed, and written with an unquenchable sense of wonder.
