In 49 Uses for A Walking Stick Frank Hopkinson explains the variety of practical uses a walking stick can be put to, from flicking filthy slugs off a lawn and parting crowds to alerting a theatre-goer two rows in front that his rapid consumption of fruit bonbons is ruining everyone''s enjoyment.Illustrated throughout, the book also includes a miscellany of walking stick trivia, facts and figures and fun information.

Formula One: The Circuits Then & Now is unique and compelling history and guide to some of the classic grand prix tracks. By pairing vintage images with the same viewpoint today, readers can see how dramatically Formula One has changed over the years, from the cavalier attitude to danger of the past, to the sophisticated modern sport we see today.In the 1950s, all that prevented cars from entering Monaco Harbour were some straw bales, there was no pitlane, and races weren’t stopped for burning cars. Today, Armco and catch-fencing line the harbourside, cranes winch cars to safety in seconds and Tecpro barriers protect the most dangerous corners. This book includes many historic aspects of F1 from the beautifully preserved pit buildings of Reims to the great temples of Speed at Monza and Spa-Francorchamps, three race venues from Formula 1’s debut season in 1950. At Monza, the lethal concrete banking has made way for a flat-out road track with chicanes, while Spa has cut the dangerous ‘Burnenville’ corner and moved its pit buildings and startline. Reims’ stopped hosting races in the 1960s and the infamous Muzon corner now lies under a farmer’s field.Other legendary circuits, such as the Nürburgring’s ‘Green Hell’, ...

The Joy of Sheds is a shed miscellany that chronicles man’s need for a small space on his own. It’s a humorous look at every aspect of the shed experience, mixed with shed facts and some practical information too.Many famous people have created in sheds. Inventor Trevor Baylis thought up the clockwork radio in a shed, George Bernard Shaw wrote Pygmalian in one and Dylan Thomas would compose poetry in his. The average UK male does not tend to devote his shed to poetry, though.Along with chapters on how to customize your shed into an exotic creation, "Pimp Your Shed", there are "Shed Facts": Almost a fifth of men have had an accident in a shed, it’s the single most dangerous place in the home after the kitchen.Other chapters include "Shed Vision", on the typical items stored in sheds, and "The Genus Shed", which places the shed in the Linnaean order of buildings."Shed Experience" pulls in shed stories from around the world, but particularly Australia, and there are also tales of the "Euro-Shed".There are chapters on "Sheds in Literature" (Lady Chatterly’s Lover and Cold Comfort Farm), "Sheds at the Movies", and "Sheds in Music".

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. Spanning from that first match through the “Duel in the Sun” at Turnberry in 1977 ... Unknown localization key: "more"

And yet the notion of ''the French'' as one nation is relatively recent and, historically speaking, quite misleading. In order to discover the true past of France, Graham Robb realized it was necessary not only to go back in time, but also to go at a slower pace than modern life generally allows.An award-winning modern classic, The Discovery of France is a literary exploration of a remarkable nation. From maps and migration to magic, language and landscape, it reveals a France few will recognize. And all from the perspective of two wheels.Winner of the Duff Cooper and the Royal Society of Literature Ondaatje prizes, The Discovery of France is now included in the Picador Collection, a series celebrating fifty years of Picador books and showcasing the very best of modern literature.

A visceral, surrealist tale of becoming, from the shamanic cult hero of contemporary queer poetryBeguiling, outrageous, playfully morbid and frequently stunning in its surreal flights of imagination, The Book of Frank follows the eponymous figure as he grows from his troubled childhood into an adult travesty of the ostensibly straight family man in a male-dominated world. Along the way, he navigates a series of darkly comic situations, commits acts of grotesque violence, loses his soul in the post and debates boundary lines with a pig. Frank is one of the great literary creations: a man who can declare that ''however we seek another''s weakness is our tyranny'', as often touchingly innocent as he is monstrously cruel. Called ''a contemporary masterpiece'' by Thurston Moore, a ''desert island book'' by Anne Boyer and ''this generation''s Dream Songs'' by Maggie Nelson, The Book of Frank is one of the crucial poetic works of this century so far. Now, on the 30th anniversary of the first Frank poems'' appearance, it is published in the UK for the first time.

The third of three volumes, this book offers to English readers, for the first time, the memoirs of Ilya Timofeyevich Radozhitskii, which rank among the best in the vast Napoleonic memoir literature. Radozhitskii, a distinguished Russian artillery officer, chronicled his experiences shortly after the wars against Napoleon, drawing from notes kept during his campaigns. Born in 1788, the author was educated at the Imperial Orphanage and entered military service in 1806 as part of an artillery unit. Through skill and determination, he rose steadily through the ranks, earning a reputation as a capable and dedicated officer. Napoleon’s invasion of Russia in 1812 changed his life. Serving as an artillery lieutenant, Radozhitskii saw action in virtually every major battle of that historic campaign. In 1813-1814, he took part in the War of the German Liberation and the invasion of France, serving with distinction in several battles before finishing the war as a staff captain in Paris in 1814. Radozhitskii’s memoirs provide vivid, unvarnished insight into the daily lives of Russian officers during the Napoleonic Wars.

The prequel to Frank McDonough’s bestselling Hitler Years series, covering the dramatic era of German history that culminated in the rise to power of Adolf Hitler in 1933. Established in the wake of German defeat in the First World War, the Weimar Republic held out the hope that democracy, stability and prosperity would take root in Germany. From the start, however, it was beset by political and economic upheaval and spasms of violence between left and right.Year by year, from 1918 to 1933, Frank McDonough describes the major events in both domestic and foreign policy and the personalities who shaped them, together with developments in Weimar’s flourishing cultural sphere. McDonough places particular focus on the parliamentary history of Weimar, arguing that it was the failure of parliamentary democracy to bring stability that allowed the power of the elected Reichstag to diminish, leading to Hitler’s accession to power. The Weimar Years is the tragic story of a rise and fall, as well as a warning of how, under poor leadership, economic pressure and unrelenting political instability, a democracy can drift towards a form of authoritarian rule that eventually destroys it.

The brand-new museum dedicated solely to women artists.For centuries, art history has largely overlooked the accomplishments of women artists. With the opening of the Female Artists of the Mougins Museum in France - or FAMM for short - this imbalance in the recognition and appreciation of women''s art from around the world is being redressed. Through its paintings, sculptures, and photographs drawn from the remarkable Levett Collection, FAMM is proud to tell the story of female creativity from Impressionism to the present day. Written by a range of female curators, academics, and art historians, this superb book presents more than 230 spectacular artworks from FAMM and the wider Levett Collection. This publication is bookended by a lively introduction and an illustrated timeline that highlights significant events involving women artists and some of the most important stylistic and thematic currents in the visual arts since the mid-19th century. In the main part of the book, the featured works are divided into six themed sections that represent a compelling artistic journey: from visionary Impressionists such as Berthe Morisot and Mary Cassatt, and daring Surrealists such as Leonora Carrington, Leonor Fini, and Dorothea Tanning; through bold figuration by Elaine de Kooning, Alice Neel, ...

This book explains why the far right is on the rise in France and how Emmanuel Macron's rule is leading to a possible Le Pen victory. Recently, polls have indicated for the first time that a far right candidate could win the next French presidential election in 2027. Reactionary and racist ideologues are increasingly present in the French media. Fascist violent groups are gaining ground and confidence in the streets, and assaulting more people. How did we get here? Ugo Palheta shows that the fascist threat is rooted in the triple radicalization - neoliberal, authoritarian and racist - of the French ruling class, and its incapacity to win the consent of a large majority of the people. As a result, and as a factor of an interminable political crisis, this radicalisation has fostered the rise of a new type of fascist threat. The author therefore argues for a renaissance of anti-fascism, capable of leading the fight against the far right, and against the triple offensive that is encouraging its rise.

Edmund Burke was the dominant political thinker of the last quarter of the eighteenth century in England. His reputation depends less on his role as a practising politician than on his ability to set contemporary problems within a wider context of political theory. Above all, he commented on change. He tried to teach lessons about how change should be managed, what limits should not be transgressed, and what should be reverently preserved. Burke''s generation was much in need of advice on these matters. The Industrial Revolution, the American Revolution, and catastrophically, the French Revolution presented challenges of terrible proportions. They could promise paradise or threaten anarchy. Burke was acutely aware of how high the stakes were. The Reflections on the Revolution in France was a dire warning of the consequences that would follow the mismanagement of change.
