Another Hundred of the Best - Paul Hodgson
Darlington FC fan Paul Hodgson pays tribute to 100 of the Quakers’ most memorable players from more than half a century of supporting the club.The story begins in the 1972/73 season when Paul’s mother took him to his first game: Southport at home. Darlo were soundly thrashed 7-0, yet the seven-year-old Paul was hooked. It was at this game that he came into contact with his first-ever Quakers hero, goalkeeper Phil Owers, who was followed by many more, the latest two being Jarrett Rivers and Tommy Taylor from the current team.Paul hasn’t just chosen the 100 best players – some only played a few games for the club – but each individual made an indelible impression on him. The book profiles players and games from the 1970s, when Darlington had to apply for re-election almost every season, through the 80s, when their fortunes improved, right up to the close of the 2022/23 season.A roller-coaster ride that any lover of football will enjoy, the book is a ‘must’ for every Darlington fan.

Helena Vondráčková - Best Of The Best 2 (2 LP)
Druhý díl úspěšné kompilace mapuje 40 let kariéry Heleny Vondráčkové. Vzdálený hlas, Malovaný džbánek, Most přes rozbouřené vody i Mám sílu vstát. Nový remaster. Předchozí kompilace Heleny Vondráčkové ve formátu 2LP měla výborný ohlas, její druhý díl je tedy zcela logický. A opravdu je stále z čeho vybírat: tentokrát mapuje období od roku 1967 až do druhé dekády nového tisíciletí, tedy přibližně čtyřicet let populárního zpívání. Pohled na sestavu písniček je zárukou zdaleka nejen minulé, ale též trvalé velké úspěšnosti a spolehlivé kvality. Vždyť například bez skladeb Vzdálený hlas, Proč mě nikdo nemá rád, Tvá malá Jane, Miláčku, Archiméde, Malovaný džbánku nebo Tentokrát se budu smát já z prvního LP je ohlédnutí za historií česko/slovenské populární hudby nemožné. Druhý vinyl pak nabízí důkazy skutečnosti, že Helena Vondráčková nikdy neustrnula v minulých šlépějích a její Most přes rozbouřené vody, Léto je léto, Sblížení, Nevzdám se hvězdám, Samba 2006, Mám sílu vstát nebo Tu tvou vůni cítím dál v podobě pečlivě vybraných cover verzí, ale především původní domácí tvorby udržuje její repertoár blízko aktuálních trendů.

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The New York Times Book Review • The Washington Post • Entertainment Weekly • The Seattle Times • St. Louis Post-Dispatch • Bloomberg BusinessweekIn this magnificent biography, the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of American Lion and Franklin and Winston brings vividly to life an extraordinary man and his remarkable times. Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power gives us Jefferson the politician and president, a great and complex human being forever engaged in the wars of his era. Philosophers think; politicians maneuver.

Thomas Jefferson hated confrontation, and yet his understanding of power and of human nature enabled him to move men and to marshal ideas, to learn from his mistakes, and to prevail. Passionate about many things—women, his family, books, science, architecture, gardens, friends, Monticello, and Paris—Jefferson loved America most, and he strove over and over again, despite fierce opposition, to realize his vision: the creation, survival, and success of popular government in America.

Breaking the Chains of Gravity - Amy Shira Teitel
The incredible story of spaceflight before the establishment of NASA.NASA’s history is a familiar story, one that typically peaks with Neil Armstrong taking his small step on the Moon in 1969. But America’s space agency wasn’t created in a vacuum. It was assembled from pre-existing parts, drawing together some of the best minds the non-Soviet world had to offer. In the 1930s, rockets were all the rage in Germany, the focus both of scientists hoping to fly into space and of the German armed forces, looking to circumvent the restrictions of the Treaty of Versailles. One of the key figures in this period was Wernher von Braun, an engineer who designed the rockets that became the devastating V-2. As the war came to its chaotic conclusion, von Braun escaped from the ruins of Nazi Germany, and was taken to America where he began developing missiles for the US Army. Meanwhile, the US Air Force was looking ahead to a time when men would fly in space, and test pilots like Neil Armstrong were flying cutting-edge, rocket-powered aircraft in the thin upper atmosphere.Breaking the Chains of Gravity tells the story of America’s nascent space program, its scientific advances, its personalities and ...

They believe in magic and superstitions, witness body snatchers and murder, and search for—and find—buried treasure.Twain''s mastery of satire and droll humor, his unparalleled narrative skill in capturing the incomparable fierce joys of childhood, and his piercing attentiveness to the ever-present tension between the freedom of adolescence and the confining expectations of social propriety have made this timeless tale of Americana a revered ...

The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman - Laurence Sterne
''Read, read, read, read, my unlearned reader! read...''Sterne''s great comic novel is the fictional autobiography of Tristram Shandy, a hero who fails even to get born in the first two volumes. It contains some of the best-known and best-loved characters in English literature, including Uncle Toby, Corporal Trim, Parson Yorick, Dr Slop and the Widow Wadman. Beginning with Tristram''s conception, the novel recounts his progress in ''this scurvy and disasterous world of ours'', including his misnaming during baptism and his accidental circumcision by a falling sash-window at the age of five; unsurprisingly, Tristram declares that he has been ''the continual sport of what the world calls Fortune''. Tristram Shandy also offers the narrator''s ''opinions'', at once facetious and highly serious, on books and learning in an age of rapidly expanding print culture, and on the changing understanding of the roles of writers and readers alike.This revised edition retains the first edition text incorporating Sterne''s later changes, and adds two original Hogarth illustrations and a wealth of contextualizing information. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.

Cornwall & the Isles of Scilly - Kirsty Fergusson
Thoroughly updated and significantly expanded in this new fourth edition, Bradt''s Cornwall & The Isles of Scilly (Slow Travel) is the most well-established guide to a perennially popular British county. Offering in-depth exploration of both frequently visited and less-well-known destinations that will interest locals as much as newcomers, it is written in a friendly, engaging style and includes up-to-date listings of the best (and sometimes least obvious) places to eat, drink and sleep, appealing to all budgets. Long popular with discerning travellers and foodies, the boom in staycations and coverage in TV dramas such as Poldark mean that Cornwall enjoys ever-increasing acclaim as a healthy, wholesome destination. Few places offer such geographical diversity: rugged, storm-lashed north coast and wide, sandy beaches favoured by surfers lie barely a few miles from the south''s sheltered creeks, coves and exotic gardens. Wild moorland is dotted with Neolithic standing stones and mining heritage. And, just 28 miles from Land''s End, the Isles of Scilly offer an exhilarating blend of tropical exoticism and wild isolation.Cornwall thus possesses an enduring appeal as a year-round destination for visitors of all ages and interests.

The Nature of Fashion - Carry Somers
"One of our favorite reads of 2025." Dressed: History of Fashion Podcast Named one of the best fashion books of 2025 by Fashionista If plants have shaped fashion’s past, couldn’t they hold the secret to its future? Vivid, celebratory, impassioned and angry, The Nature of Fashion is an epic sweep through the history of how we learned to create clothing with plants, revealing how textiles have transformed the human world and our natural landscape. More than just a story about plant-based fashion, The Nature of Fashion chronicles the plant stewards, obsessives, innovators and profiteers who have shaped what we wear. It is about the clash of worlds, voracious exploitation and silenced voices; about devotion, passion, blindness, idealism, greed and how clothing has separated us from nature. Told through intimate vignettes into this past, each person, people group, plant and place is a thread in the fabric of the book, forging connections across place and time. And like weaving, as the story strands weave in and out, the pattern slowly emerges. As the centuries unfold, we meet plants from every continent and understand the human stories of origin, culture and community. We see people and countries interact through trade, conflict, human ...

Hailed as one of the best novellas ever published as well as an outstanding triumph of his later fiction, The Death of Ivan Ilyich is Leo Tolstoy’s masterfully crafted story on what it means to face the end.Ivan Ilyich is dead. Diagnosed just weeks before with an unknown—but terminal—illness, the late Court of Justice spent his final days reflecting on his “most simple and most ordinaryâ€â€”and therefore most terrible—life. He did as was expected: worked an important job, garnered moderate wealth, married a slightly demanding woman, and started a family of his own…but had he ever truly lived?Inspired by his newfound faith and renewed sense of purpose, Leo Tolstoy’s first major post-conversion work of fiction sees a modern unsentimental man face the reality of his own mortality. Not just the act and process of dying, but the physicality of waking up in a body that is doomed to fail, the actuality of the burden he is becoming to his family, and the vulnerability in knowing that ultimately, he—and everyone else—will die alone.

The Secret of Golf - Joe Posnanski
From “one of the best sportswriters in America” (The Washington Times)—the New York Times bestselling story of the friendship and rivalry between golf legends Tom Watson and Jack Nicklaus, whose sparring matches defined the sport for more than a decade.The first time they met, at an exhibition match in 1967, Tom Watson was a seventeen-year-old high school student and Jack Nicklaus, at twenty-seven, was already the greatest golfer in the world. Though they shared some similarities—they were both Midwestern boys who had learned how to play golf at their fathers’ country clubs—they differed in many ways. Nicklaus played a game of consummate control and precision. Watson hit the ball all over the place. Nicklaus lacked charm and theatrics, and he was thoroughly despised by most golf fans because he had displaced Arnold Palmer as king of the golf world. Watson was one of those Arnold Palmer fans. Yet over the next twenty years their seemingly divergent paths collided as they battled against each other again and again for a place at the top of the sport and drove each other to ever-soaring heights of accomplishment.
