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.”
Big Guy
Big Guy tells the story of Marcus Redwood, widely known as the UK's most notorious nightclub doorman. Over a career spanning around 40 years, he had an estimated 3,000 fights on the doors of clubs and pubs in Southern England, and knocked out approximately 1,000 men, never losing in a one-on-one confrontation throughout his entire door work. Growing up on a small farm near the seaside town of Ramsgate, Marcus was subjected to vicious bullying at every school he attended. Angry and frustrated by the violence and intimidation he endured, he eventually resolved never to be bullied again and took up boxing. After his first unofficial door work for the landlord of his local pub when he was 16 (in return for free beer), his formal door security work started at age 18 - no training, uniforms, radios or metal detectors. He worked during the day cutting down trees for the local council, and at night on the doors of clubs and pubs. He was 6ft2ins and weighed 19.5 stone in his prime. Guns and knives were an ever-present danger to Marcus. Troublemakers who were thrown out of clubs often threatened to return with guns or knives; and some actually did. A stranger thrown out of a club might be a gangster or part of a gangster family. There was always a risk of revenge and retribution. Marcus was the target of London hitmen outside his home, who tried to shoot and kill him. Well-known underworld friends and acquaintances during Marcus's career included the Kray twins, Freddie Foreman, Frankie Fraser and the 'celebrity gangster' Dave Courtney. Looking back on his 40-year career on the doors, Marcus has not only been involved in thousands of fights, but he has also seen the best and worst of the club world, and even the tragic loss of life. He worked with some of the very best and very worst doormen. He has escaped death. His life story is not only fascinating and entertaining; it is an inspirational story of persistence battling against all the odds and living to tell the tale.

Hearthspace
Thousands of years ago, a massive colony ship arrived at the Hearth - the celestial birthplace of millions of planets, ranging from habitable earth-like worlds to unimaginable hellscapes of pressure and heat. Using lightsails to navigate, humanity has spread itself across dozens of these worlds. But they have also forgotten their beginnings, where they came from... and a terrible secret is about to be unveiled. For Commander Ulla Breen, on her first tour of duty aboard a patrol sail-ship, the universe is about to change around her. Attacked by an unknown and unthought-of enemy, she and her fellow crewmembers will face slavery, punishment and death - and so will their home planets.

US Liberty Ship vs German Surface Raider
Fully illustrated, this study examines World War II's most dramatic single-ship action, in which Stephen Hopkins fought a heavily armed German auxiliary cruiser, Stier. When the United States entered World War II, the Battle of the Atlantic was already raging. The so-called ‘Liberty Ships’, built at breakneck speed and in huge numbers during 1941–45, were crucial to the Allied war effort. While the greatest successes of Germany’s auxiliary cruisers occurred in 1939–41, this book describes how one of these ingenious warships, Stier, confronted the Liberty Ship Stephen Hopkins in an epic single-ship duel on September 27, 1942. Stephen Hopkins carried one 4in gun, two 37mm cannon and six machine guns, all primarily intended for antisubmarine and antiaircraft purposes. Stier had six 150mm, one 75mm, one twin 37mm, four single 20mm and four 533mm torpedo tubes. At the end of this grossly uneven fight, Stier had sunk Stephen Hopkins, but was so badly damaged it had to be scuttled. While this battle has garnered much attention, Mark Lardas explores other clashes between the German surface raiders and their Liberty Ship quarry during 1942. Featuring specially commissioned artwork and mapping alongside archive photographs, this lively study investigates the important role both ship types played as the Battle of the Atlantic reached its climax.
Talking in Bed
The essential pocket edition of this most beloved and quoted of poets. Our almost-instinct almost true:What will survive of us is love. In lines perfectly constructed and as beautiful as they are plain-spoken, Philip Larkin found a way of delineating our most difficult emotions - giving them back to us in images and formulations that help us both comprehend and contain ourselves. His is a fine-tuning that turns 'true and kind' more truthfully into 'not untrue and not unkind.' These are poems to live with and through, from the trenchant assertion of 'They fuck you up. . .', to the transcendent image-making of 'High Windows':Rather than words comes the thought of high windows:The sun-comprehending glass,And beyond it, the deep blue air, that showsNothing, and is nowhere, and is endless.

Awakening the Pineal Gland
Techniques to awaken the pineal gland for health, mental clarity, and longevity• Introduces the scientifically validated method of pineal gland activation, which promotes cellular rebirth, decreases aging, and improves well-being• Explores the impact of light, sound, and nutraceuticals on pineal functioning, looking at concepts like photobiomodulation and the role of lutein in human eyes• Draws upon ancient Egyptian and Sumerian knowledge of light and the eye, including the ability to harness the healing powers of sunlightThe pineal gland, a part of the endocrine system, is less than a centimeter long. Yet this tiny organ in the brain plays an outsized role in many spiritual traditions as it is widely connected with the esoteric concept of the third eye. Ophthalmologist Roberto Pinelli explains, in an engaging personal narrative style, his unique methods for using a combination of light, sound, and nutraceuticals to non-invasively activate the pineal gland to promote cellular rejuvenation, decrease aging, and improve overall well-being. Supported by case studies and peer-reviewed research, Pinelli’s method centers on using photons to convey vibrational energy through the eyes to target areas of the body. He shows the potent effects this has on mental health as it can improve memory, mental clarity, and self-awareness. His techniques also have positive effects on the body such as helping to heal degenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s, rheumatoid arthritis, and Parkinson’s. Pinelli explores Egyptian, Sumerian, and Aztec understandings of the sun and its life-giving rays, looking at how ancient knowledge has been corroborated by contemporary scientific findings. The author details how the pineal gland functions, particularly its role in melatonin regulation. He also offers methods to reduce pineal calcification and regenerate overall physical and emotional health. Awakening the Pineal Gland is a unique fusion of ancient and modern science that offers readers a practical guide on using light as a medicine to activate their higher nature.

Splendour
A moving tale of resistance and renewal, from the acclaimed author of Twelve Words for MossTwo friends, Kenjo and Leah, swoosh through the lush forests at the edge of their village in Kenya. Imitating hornbills and lying on the mossy boulders that line the river, the young girls are watched over by a canopy of ancient trees, whose roots reach into the past, present and future. But this glittering countryside is quickly becoming a haunting. As the armed rebellion against the British colonial regime intensifies, the forest is subsumed in a destructive conflict, disturbing the profound balance of life it nourishes and knowledge it preserves. Forced from their homes, the friends are separated by oceans and decades. Like the branches that once sheltered them, they may be twisted and buckled by violence, but they will also, somehow, endure. This tale of courage, survival and restoration captures the healing – and destructive – power of time and unearths the hidden traces it leaves behind.
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
