In 1917 Harry Ferguson developed a method of attaching a wheel-less plough to a tractor to reduce the dangers of the machine overturning. By 1925 the plough was in production in the USA and Ferguson set about developing equipment that would effectively integrate the implement and the tractor.Ferguson teamed up with David Brown to produce the Ferguson-Brown Type A but sales did not meet Harry''s expectations. Following a demonstration of the Ferguson-Brown tractor to Henry Ford, agreement was reached with the Ford Motor Company in the USA to build an improved version of the tractor there. It was launched in 1939 as the Ford-Ferguson 9N. When Ford terminated this arrangement Ferguson entered an agreement with the Standard Motor Company to bring production of what was now described as the Ferguson TE-20, to Britain. The first were built in 1946 and over the next ten years more than 793,000 examples were produced in Britain, France and the USA. With its revolutionary three-point hydraulic linkage, Ferguson had always seen his tractor as part of a complete farming system and by the time the TE-20 was superseded by the FE-35 in 1956, there were more than 100 Ferguson implements designed specifically to couple to the tractor.This is an enlarged and expanded edition, with many new pictures, of the comprehensive history of the TE-20 and the Ferguson System which helped to mechanise and revolutionise farming across the world. Today, with classic tractors a thriving hobby, few machines are more sought after than the TE-20. The book is also a reliable reference guide to finding, restoring and operating the ''little grey Fergie'' some 75 years since the first example was produced.

THIS BOOK WILL MAKE YOUR BIRTH BETTER. IT IS FOR EVERY WOMAN AND EVERY TYPE OF BIRTH.AS FEATURED ON DRAGONS' DEN. 'Siobhan manages to completely demystify hypnobirthing, making it accessible and relevant to all women and all births. This book will be a complete game changer and I will be recommending it to mums-to-be from now on' Sarah Turner, author of The Unmumsy Mum Expert hypnobirthing teacher and founder of The Positive Birth Company Siobhan Miller has made it her mission to change the way women around the world approach and experience birth. Through her teaching she seeks to educate and empower women - and their birth partners - so that they can enjoy amazing and positive birth experiences, however they choose to bring their babies into the world. In this book, Siobhan debunks common myths about hypnobirthing and explains why she believes it can make every type of birth a better experience - from a water birth at home to an unplanned caesarean in theatre. So, what is hypnobirthing? Essentially, it's a form of antenatal education, an approach to birth that is both evidence-based and logical. Hypnobirthing certainly doesn't involve being hypnotised; instead, it teaches you how your body works on a muscular and hormonal level when in labour and how you can use various relaxation techniques to ensure you are working with your body (rather than against it), making birth more efficient and comfortable. Siobhan's advice and guidance will change your mindset and enable you to navigate your birth with practical tools that ensure you feel calm and in control throughout. By the time you finish this book you'll feel relaxed, capable and genuinely excited about giving birth.

Have you ever wondered if there might be something more to life?When Siobhan Curham decided to write a book about happiness there was only one small problem, which became a massive problem as soon as she sat down to write - she wasn''t truly happy.Not wanting to be a fraud, Siobhan set out to discover the secret to true and lasting happiness. Her quest took her on an unexpected path deep into the heart of the world''s spiritual traditions.Something More is a funny and moving account of Siobhan''s journey, as she found religion - and promptly lost it again - then went on to develop her own spiritual ''pick and mix'' of practises from Buddhist chanting, Irish yoga, Jewish philosophy and Reiki healing, to connecting with her inner goddess and finding her shamanic spirit animal (who, it turns out, was a large, black, talking horse).Full of brutally honest anecdotes and age-old wisdom, Something More is for anyone who has ever thought about exploring their spiritual side, and those who might feel disillusioned by organised religion but still crave that elusive ''something more''. After all, who wouldn''t want to find inner peace and everlasting happiness?

*THE NUMBER 1 BESTSELLER**PERFECT FOR FOOTBALL FANS & EVERTON FC SUPPORTERS*They don't make footballers - and football autobiographies - like this anymore. The brutally honest, riotously entertaining story of the much-loved Everton legend and iconic Premier League bad boy. 'A hell of a read. I couldn't recommend it more. Powerful' Gary Lineker‘Pure charisma’ The Times‘The honesty is unrestrained … there is humour … there is much to amuse … He has been through the storm and lived to tell the tales’ Daily Mail 'Funny, sad, regretful, optimistic.

As you can imagine, I'd much rather him be a teammate than be an opponent ' Alan Shearer____________________________________________________________________ Praised by Wayne Rooney and Sir Alex Ferguson as one of the greatest and most passionate players to ever play the game, Duncan Ferguson, or Big Dunc as he is known, is larger than life in every sense. Measuring a towering 6 feet 4 inches in height, from the moment the striker emerged in British football in the 1990s, he was front and back page news. On the pitch, fans loved Duncan for his roguish charm, his thrilling goals and his total commitment in every game. Fighting tooth and nail, he was a born leader and took no prisoners. Like his rival Roy Keane, he played close to the limit, and often crossed it. Such as the time he was sentenced to 3 months in Glasgow’s toughest prison for headbutting an opponent – the first and only time a footballer has ever gone to jail for a crime committed on a football pitch. In BIG DUNC: The Upfront Autobiography, Duncan reveals, for the first time, the full story: the truth about his experiences in prison, his partying with African princes and Liverpool gangsters, his fighting with burglars, his making and losing a fortune, and how he turned his life around through his beloved Everton F.C.. In the process, the book sheds light on one of football’s most charismatic but notorious and enigmatic hardmen. He is a pillar of the community in Merseyside, giving back to stricken children who share a similar tough upbringing to his own. Duncan's book takes readers on a rollercoaster ride of humour, drama and redemption. Buckle up. ____________________________________________________________________________‘Duncan Ferguson is an iconic figure for Evertonians as a great number 9...Big Dunc loves the scousers & the scousers love him!’ Jamie Carragher‘Duncan is possibly the most misunderstood man in football.

Social work students need to be able to link theory to their practice on placement. The need to support students in this area often causes anxiety for practice educators and placement supervisors. The first edition of this book was used widely by practice educators in supporting student learning in relation to theory and practice. It was so popular that many students started to use the book themselves - in response we published another book written specifically for students "Theory and Practice: A Straightforward Guide for Social Work Students". This all new edition of Social Work Theory still begins by introducing the concept of theory and practice, reminding practice educators and supervisors about the ways in which they use and apply theory every day in some aspect of their practice. Ideas are given on exercises to assist students in developing their own understanding of the use of theory in their practice. Subsequent sections briefly outline some of the key social work theories and models which will apply to any practice learning environment. Suggestions for further reading are provided throughout the text as are ideas for exercises to use with students. This second edition sees the inclusion of some newer theories and models such as the McDonaldization of social work. All the chapters have been reviewed and updated and more recent thinking on the theories and models is included. Siobhan Maclean has been a practice educator since 1992. She has worked with more than 200 students since then, mostly as an independent off site practice educator. Siobhan continues to learn from students every day. Rob Harrison has worked in several voluntary sector settings since 1996. He completed his Practice Teaching Award in 2007 and has enjoyed working with several social work students as an on site practice educator and supervisor.

Niall Ferguson''s acclaimed bestseller on the highs and lows of Britain''s empireOnce vast swathes of the globe were coloured imperial red and Britannia ruled not just the waves, but the prairies of America, the plains of Asia, the jungles of Africa and the deserts of Arabia. Just how did a small, rainy island in the North Atlantic achieve all this? And why did the empire on which the sun literally never set finally decline and fall? Niall Ferguson''s acclaimed Empire brilliantly unfolds the imperial story in all its splendours and its miseries, showing how a gang of buccaneers and gold-diggers planted the seed of the biggest empire in all history - and set the world on the road to modernity.''The most brilliant British historian of his generation ... Ferguson examines the roles of "pirates, planters, missionaries, mandarins, bankers and bankrupts" in the creation of history''s largest empire ... he writes with splendid panache ... and a seemingly effortless, debonair wit'' Andrew Roberts ''Dazzling ... wonderfully readable'' New York Review of Books''A remarkably readable précis of the whole British imperial story - triumphs, deceits, decencies, kindnesses, cruelties and all'' Jan Morris ''Empire is a pleasure to read and brims with insights and intelligence'' Sunday Times

The decline of the West is something that has long been prophesied. Symptoms of decline are all around us today: slowing growth, crushing debts, ageing populations. But what exactly is amiss with Western civilization? The answer, Niall Ferguson argues, is that the institutions that were once the four pillars of Western society - representative government, the free market, the rule of law and civil society - are degenerating. The Great Degeneration is a powerful indictment of an era of negligence and complacency. To stop us frittering away the institutional inheritance of centuries, Ferguson warns, will take heroic leadership and radical reform. ''A refreshing perspective on the economic decline of advanced countries and the origins of the crisis'' Samuel Brittan, Financial Times ''He writes with splendid panache and a seemingly effortless, debonair wit'' The Times ''One of the most incisive writers of history, politics and economics today'' Sunday Telegraph ''Niall Ferguson has transformed the intellectual landscape'' Economist

The First World War killed around eight million men and bled Europe dry. In this provocative book Niall Ferguson asks: was the sacrifice worth it? Was it all really an inevitable cataclysm and were the Germans a genuine threat? Was the war, as is often asserted, greeted with popular enthusiasm? Why did men keep on fighting when conditions were so wretched? Was there in fact a death wish abroad, driving soldiers to their own destruction? The war, he argues, was a disaster - but not for the reasons we think. Far worse than a tragedy, it was the greatest error of modern history.''The most challenging and provocative analysis of the First World War to date'' Ian Kershaw ''Must take a permanent place at the top of the War''s historiography. It is one of the very few books whose own scale matches that of the events it describes'' Alan Clark, Daily Telegraph''Possibly the most important book to appear in years both on the origins of the First World War ...

Audiokniha na CD - autor Alex Ferguson, čte Ladislav Frej Ještě v dobách své hráčské kariéry přestoupil Ferguson (*1941) do Glasgow Rangers za tehdy nevídaných 65 000 liber. V roce 1974 již začal pracovat v managementu. Od roku 1986, kdy se stal trenérem Manchesteru United, získal s tímto týmem 38 trofejí (z toho 13 titulů za vítězství v lize). Díky tomu zde vydržel neuvěřitelných 26 let. V roce 1999 byl povýšen do šlechtického stavu. V roce 2013 se rozloučil s trenérskou kariérou opět titulem, ovšem pro "Man UTD" bude pracovat i nadále. Toto je jeho oficiální autobiografie, kde shrnuje svou úspěšnou kariéru a vzpomíná kromě jiného na hráče, které si do mužstva vybral a jimž pomohl k přestupům za nevídané částky (Ronaldo, Beckham, Rooney a mnoho dalších). Samozřejmě se nevyhýbá ani hodnocení svých rivalů mezi trenéry. Jeho jasný, srozumitelný a vtipný text vás určitě dostane. Čte Ladislav Frej

Britský historik Niall Ferguson (*1964) je profesorem na Harvardově univerzitě. Většina jeho prací, jež v západní Evropě vzbudily nebývalý zájem, je věnována hospodářským a sociálním dějinám 19. a 20. století. Největší pozornost prozatím vzbudila jeho kniha o příčinách první světové války (Nešťastná válka). V ní přišel s kacířskou tezí, že mocensko-politické vztahy v roce 1914 neeskalovaly kvůli německé agresivní, velmocenské politice, nýbrž kvůli nekompromisním postojům Velké Británie. Jeho další kniha nazvaná Vzestup peněz je věnována problematice rozvoje moderního finančního hospodářství, měnového systému a ekonomickým recesím a depresím v 19. a 20. století. Ferguson si v ní klade dvě základní otázky: Jakým způsobem moc peněz změnila mentální chování moderních lidí 19. a 20. století a jak ekonomika ve svém důsledku zvítězila nad politikou klasického 19. věku? Jeho odpovědi, někdy provokativní, ve svém důsledku osvětlují nejen vzestup moci peněz v moderních dějinách, ale také přičiny finanční krize, do níž se svět dostal v roce 2009.

Britský historik Niall Ferguson, autor řady vysoce oceňovaných publikací (naposledy např. Civilizace), ve své nové práci analyzuje podoby mocenského vlivu. Jednu - vertilkální, hierarchickou - charakterizuje metafora věže; druhou - horizontální, založenou na síti vztahů - zase obraz náměstí. Autor zkoumá jejich historický vývoj i koexistenci. V historických knihách je patrnější ona vertikální struktura, na jejímž vrcholu stáli králové a papežové, ale to neznamená, že by horizontální sítě společenských vztahů byly záležitostí moderní doby, ve které jako by komunikace po Facebooku hrála větší roli než politické uspořádání. Ferguson ukazuje podobu společenských sítí v minulých dobách a v jejich rozvoji a úpadku nachází varovné signály pro sítě novodobé, protože sítě byly vždy náchylné k uzavírání, přenášení negativních signálů či výpadkům.

In the early morning of 9 April 1940, a fleet of German battleships entered the Oslofjord.Norwegian artillery delayed them long enough for King Haakon VII and his cabinet to escape to England, but there was no stopping the Nazi Blitzkrieg. Norway stood on the cusp of a traumatic five-year occupation whose aftershocks would continue to trouble its national consciousness long after the defeated Germans departed in May 1945.Robert Ferguson tells the extraordinary – and relatively little-known – story of the occupation and its judicial aftermath. He focuses in particular on German attempts to use a Norwegian Nazi administration under Vidkun Quisling to impose a National Socialist revolution on the country, and on the many brave and ingenious ways in which the Norwegians resisted.Ferguson describes the occupation in all its aspects – from Nazi terror to non-violent resistance, from censorship to sabotage – via a series of heterogeneous but interlinked narratives. Key players in the occupation and its wider story – including the pitiless Reichskommissar Josef Terboven, the Norwegian crime writer-turned-SS-strongman Jonas Lie, the principled Lutheran bishop Eivind Berggrav and the enigmatic double agent Gunnar Waaler – are drawn in memorably vivid colours.A riveting account of the Second World War’s forgotten occupation, Norway’s War evokes in moving fashion the moral and physical courage of a people who, faced with the brutal tyranny of a totalitarian invader, refused to be cowed.

The more time they spend together, the more they realize they''re playing a dangerous game - one where the only thing on the line is their hearts.Praise for Lana Ferguson''Addictive, epically smutty and the breath of fresh air the romance genre didn''t know it needed'' ELENA ARMAS''Like if Ali Hazelwood and Tessa Bailey had a smutty baby. I devoured every page'' RUBY DIXON''Smart, fun, sexy, and sizzling with romantic tension'' SARA DESAI

The little grey Fergie is Britain''s best-loved tractor, the light user-friendly machine that finally replaced the horse on farms. This highly illustrated account covers the full history of Harry Ferguson''s tractor products from his pioneering work before the 1930s to the merger with Massey in 1957. The author has had access to fresh archive material and has interviewed many of the surviving men who were associated with Ferguson. The appeal of the Fergie lay in its lightness and utility, and also in the system of mechanized farming of which it was a part. Throughout the book, reference is made to the implements which lay at the heart of the system.

Kniha - autor Patrick Ness, 192 stran, česky, brožovaná bez přebalu lesklá Třináctiletého Conora navštěvuje noc co noc netvor. Není to však ten, kterého Conor očekával – ten z noční můry, jež ho pronásleduje od doby, kdy jeho maminku začali v nemocnici týrat neúspěšnými léčebnými procedurami. Tenhle netvor je jiný. Je to tajuplný přízrak z dávných časů, ukrývající se v podobě starého stromu za domem. Je tu proto, aby Conorovi vyprávěl tři příběhy. Na oplátku ale něco chce. Tu nejnebezpečnější věc ze všech. Chce pravdu. Tajemnou knihu plnou temně pohádkové atmosféry napsal Patrick Ness na námět zesnulé Siobhan Dowdové a v roce 2016 podle něj natočil stejnojmenný film Juan Antonio Bayo

But it isn't the monster Conor's been expecting-- he's been expecting the one from his nightmare, the nightmare he's had nearly every night since his mother started her treatments. The monster in his backyard is different. It's ancient. And wild. And it wants something from Conor. Something terrible and dangerous. It wants the truth.

Z informáciami nabitého diela popretkávaného humorom, ktorého spoluautorom je aj sir Michael Moritz, investor a dlhoročný priateľ sira Alexa, sála múdrosť a úprimnosť.

A hockey player and a baker shoot their shot in this steamy new romance by Lana Ferguson, USA Today bestselling author of The Nanny. This time they're both playing for keeps . . . When a very public breakup becomes a PR nightmare for Ian Chase's team, he hopes to focus on his game, but that suddenly seem less likely than a hat trick. With his career and the team's image in jeopardy, Ian is surprised to find a solution through none other than Delilah Baker, his best friend and teammate's little sister . . . who isn't so little anymore.Delilah Baker is known as 'the darling of baking' on her local cable show, and being in the public eye is her bread and butter. But with her numbers dwindling and her producers turning up the heat, Delilah offers up the half-baked idea to collaborate with her brother's team to entice the hockey fans of Boston to tune in to her show. Delilah thinks it will be a piece of cake - until the team sends Ian Chase, her brother's best friend and the object of a decade-long crush that she's never quite gotten over.Delilah's and Ian's teams think it's a true win-win situation - gaining higher numbers for Delilah's show and casting Ian in a more positive light. And viewers are eating them up like a cupcake, sparking the idea to play up their relationship for the goal of good press. With more than just their careers on thin ice, the line between what's real and what's for show begins to blur, but one thing's for certain: This PR stunt will either be a total game changer - or leave them both totally pucked.
