The Lions Finally Roar
The epic and tumultuous story of the Lions, the Ford family, the city of Detroit—and how all three have come together on the cusp of a new era.On Nov. 22, 1963, William Clay Ford, the youngest grandson of auto pioneer Henry Ford, made a successful bid to buy the Detroit Lions of the National Football League for the unheard-of sum of $6 million. As Ford and his entourage settled down to a celebratory luncheon, their waitress delivered the news that President John F. Kennedy had been shot dead in Dallas. "Born under a bad sign" is how Bill Ford’s ownership of the Lions began. After a decade of supremacy, Ford led the team on a half-century slog of mediocrity, the fruit of his mercurial nature and undying loyalty to the wrong people. The Lions Finally Roar is bursting with the colorful ruffians who have made the team one of America’s most beloved sports franchises despite its years of futility. Readers meet the hell-raising quarterback Bobby Layne, who is said to have put a curse on the team after he was traded to Pittsburgh; the rock-solid linebacker and future coach Joe Schmidt; the stars Charlie Sanders, Matthew Stafford, Calvin Johnson and, most spectacularly, Barry Sanders, the greatest running back in the history of the game, who grew so disgusted with losing and mismanagement that he walked away when he was on the threshold of shattering the NFL’s all-time rushing record. But the tide is finally turning. The Lions Finally Roar culminates with the team’s recent turnaround and playoff run under the stewardship of Bill Ford’s daughter, Sheila Ford Hamp. Hamp hired savvy general manager Brad Holmes and charismatic coach Dan Campbell—and has stood behind them as they methodically returned the team to the ranks of the league’s elite and, at long last, have made the Lions roar. Deeply researched and briskly written, The Lions Finally Roar is about much more than football. It explores the American class system, the linked histories of Detroit and its auto and music industries, the city’s changing racial dynamics, the rising power of television, and how all of it played into the NFL’s transformation from a fall sport into the multi-billion dollar, year-round entertainment behemoth that is a cornerstone of American popular culture.
Iraq 2003
Fully illustrated, this study explores the technology, roles, and combat performance of Coalition airpower in the biggest air campaign of the early 21st century. In 2003, a US-led Coalition invaded Iraq with the aim of overthrowing Saddam Hussain’s regime. Just as it had in the 1991 Gulf War, airpower played a vital role. However, this war was very different to its predecessor and represented a new style of warfare: focused targeting with precision-guided munitions and close integration with land forces made air power particularly effective and efficient. Airpower scholar and former RAF pilot Michael Napier explains how the 2003 air campaign was planned and fought. He describes the preparatory work that was carried out in the No Fly Zones before hostilities began, how the plan was changed at the last minute to attempt a decapitation of the Iraqi government, and how the campaign then developed to support both the advance of Anglo-American land forces and SOF operations against tactical ballistic missiles in the western desert. He analyses in detail the relationship between the conduct of air operations and progress on the battlefield during the three-week war. Illustrated with dramatic artwork, 3D diagrams, maps and photos, this book assesses what made Iraq 2003 the textbook air campaign of the early 21st century.

Gravity Archives
From the former Poet Laureate, a remarkable contemplation of departure and return. Andrew Motion's new collection gives a moving account of the friction and interplay between past and present. In the opening elegies for friends and former versions of the self, and in the long title sequence which completes the book, he explores the ways in which regrets compete with hope, and the appetite for life is always a prey to hard facts of mortality. The energy and reach of these poems opens a new chapter in Motion's writing, remaining true to the elegiac subjects which have always been his main concern, while adding new depths of pathos and resonance.

Preparing to Survive in the Age of Collapse
Preparing to Survive in the Age of Collapse is not just a wake-up call: it’s a survival blueprint to make it through what lies ahead.We have entered “The Age of Collapse,” an era where mankind will suffer severe disasters because of new technologies, such as bioengineering, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and our fragile economic system, irresponsible government, and dependent, unprepared population.Written by Dr. Drew Miller, a former intelligence officer, retired Air Force Colonel, Department of Defense analyst, and Harvard PhD, this book delivers credible, unfiltered warnings about the grave threats facing America today. From AI being weaponized by rogue states and terrorists to an imminent H5N1 pandemic, from the risk of civil war in a politically fractured nation to China’s looming invasion of Taiwan that could lead to nuclear conflict, the threats are real, immediate, and potentially catastrophic.Unlike mainstream reporting that ignores these dangers, Dr. Miller book presents a blunt, evidence-based analysis of current collapse threats. Readers will learn how advanced AI will create weapons of mass destruction, how our political dysfunction and unconstitutional governance have left us exposed, and why collapse is not just possible, but inevitable. But this book isn’t just about warning—it’s about action. It offers practical advice on prepping, bug-out planning, civil defense, and using tools like the Collapse Survivor App to stay informed. It also proposes bold reforms to restore constitutional limits and get responsible government back to prepare for collapse disasters. Controversial reform proposals include banning legislators from having civil defense protection not afforded to all citizens, revoking the US promise to defend Taiwan, and allying with China in a global alliance to prevent super-intelligent AGI that could exterminate humanity.Living in the Age of Collapse with repeated Weapons of Mass Destruction attacks and collapse disasters will initially cause tremendous fatalities and devastation until we have prepared. . . but we can adapt . . . and if we reform foreign and military policies, switch to more rural living, sustainable farming, and local production, change human behavior, the Age of Collapse could actually provide a higher quality of life and better planet than we have now.This book proposes a way to prepare for the Age of Collapse and save humanity. For everyone who wants to survive, Preparing to Survive in the Age of Collapse is essential reading.

Coalition Aircraft vs Iraqi SAMs
A detailed study of how Operation Desert Storm saw Coalition forces respond to Iraq’s surface-to-air missile defences with ground-breaking combat aircraft technology.Developed in the wake of the USA’s ill-prepared entry into the Vietnam War, aircraft carrying electronic counter-measures equipment and anti-radar missiles were crucial to the success of Operation Desert Storm during the First Gulf War. Iraq’s air defence systems were elaborate and costly, but also well understood by Coalition planners, and its surface-to-air missile batteries struggled in the face of radar jamming, pyrotechnic deflection of infrared guidance and extraordinarily effective destruction of enemy air defences weapons like the AGM-88 High-speed Anti-Radiation Missile. Written by aviation expert Peter E Davies, this fascinating study uses newly commissioned artwork to enhance its retelling of how aircraft and weapons, as well as crew training and command-and-control structures, proved decisive in the outcome of Desert Storm in 1991. Archive photos capture examples of the principal weapons involved, while first-hand accounts from Coalition aircrew and planners convey the realities of a conflict in which cutting-edge technology played an inestimable role.

Hőhullámon
A változókor sok nő számára bizonytalanságot keltő időszak. A test jelez, a megszokott egyensúly átalakul, gyakran több a kérdés, mint a válasz. Szükségszerű, hogy mindezt lemondásként, veszteségként éljük meg? Sheila de Liz orvosként és nőként új nézőpontot kínál – amit elmond, esetleg szöges ellentétben áll azzal, amit eddig tudni véltél a változókorról. Közérthetően, szórakoztatóan, tabuk nélkül beszél a perimenopauza testi és lelki folyamatairól, és megmutatja, hogy a megfelelő tudás milyen sokat számít a közérzet, az önbizalom, a mindennapi életminőség szempontjából.
Ez a könyv nem ijesztget, nem egyszerűsít, nem ígér csodát. Segít megérteni, mi történik a testben, hogyan lehet ezt az időszakot tudatosan, önazonosan megélni. A változás nem a női erő elvesztése. Lehetőséget hordoz – egy új egyensúly, egy újfajta jelenlét felé. A másik oldalon valami nagyszerű vár rád: saját magad új változata. Aki erős és szexi, ha éppen ahhoz van kedve, de főleg – szabad.
