Amarone and the Fine Wines of Verona - Michael Garner
The Veronese wine regions of Soave and Valpolicella – home to Amarone – are currently producing some of the world’s most drinkable quality wines. But both regions still struggle with a reputation for cheap, poor-quality wines brought about through industrial-scale production during the economic depression following the Second World War. In Amarone and the Fine Wines of Verona, Italian wine specialist Michael Garner traces a shift in focus towards new levels of quality driven by a generation of producers inspired by the area’s outstanding potential for producing fine wine.Both regions produce versatile wines which, as well as being both deliciously drinkable and relatively affordable, have the flavour and structure to accompany a wide range of foods. In Valpolicella an appassimento wine, the famed Amarone, has gained comparable status to Barolo and Brunello di Montalcino, while Soave overlaps with the tiny denomination of Lessini Durello, where sparkling wine is produced from the rare, local white grape Durella. Garner begins Amarone and the fine wines of Verona with a summary of the region’s history, before detailing its geography, grape varieties and approach to both viticulture and winemaking, leading into a discussion of each denomination’s character and wine styles.A cross-section of around 100 producers provides a capsule profile of each, along with analysis of some of their best and most distinctive wines. For students of wine, those in the wine business and wine adventurers alike, Amarone and the Fine Wines of Verona provides a gateway to a sorely misunderstood wine region.

Dafydd Elis-Thomas - Aled Eirug
Explores why Dafydd Elis-Thomas, the leader of Plaid Cymru, the Welsh Nationalist party, didn’t believe in nationalism and how this changed Welsh politics. Lord Dafydd Elis-Thomas of Nant Conwy is one of the most outstanding Welsh public figures of the last fifty years. His political career spans from his first election as MP for the Welsh Nationalist Party in 1974 at the age of 27, to May 2021 when he finally retired after twenty-years of service as a member of the Senedd. At different stages in his career, he was branded a maverick, an intellectual acrobat and political chameleon, a terrorist for his interventions in Northern Ireland, and a traitor for opposing nationalism. As the first Presiding Officer of the National Assembly for Wales he helped stabilize the new institution and embedded devolution in its first tentative decade. His career has often been marked by controversy. This is what makes his story remarkable, just as his political life has proved to be unpredictable. Both controversial and magnetic, the life and thought of Elis-Thomas is captured in this biography.

Not a Fan Updated and Expanded - Kyle Idleman
Not a Fan has already called more than one million readers to consider the demands and rewards of being a true disciple--moving from fan to follower in their relationship with Jesus.After years of serving God, pastor and bestselling author Kyle Idleman had a startling revelation: for too long, he had been living as a fan of Jesus; someone who tried to make Christianity seem as appealing, comfortable, and convenient as he possibly could to others. Idleman decided something had to change--he needed to embark on the journey of becoming a completely committed follower of God, not just a fan.Fans want to be close enough to Jesus to get all the benefits, but not so close that it requires sacrifice, while followers are all in and completely committed to Christ. Not a Fan gives you the tools you need to determine exactly where you stand when it comes to your relationship with Jesus.No matter where you are in your walk with Christ, Not a Fan calls you to consider the demands and rewards of being a true disciple. With frankness and a touch of humor, Idleman invites you to:Examine your relationship with GodDetermine if you''re following Jesus or just following the rulesPray the way Jesus prayedStart truly living for the one who gave his all for youThis expanded and updated version of Not a Fan also includes a new introduction and an entirely new chapter about how to practically live out the book''s core message.Join Idleman as he challenges you to take an honest look at your relationship with Jesus and discover what it really means to be a follower.

But a colleague in the lab, Aeden Doherty, has been working on a similar topic, and his findings threaten to compete with her research.To Emily’s surprise, her rational mind is unsettled by Aeden, and when they end up working together their animosity turns to physical passion, followed by love. Emily eventually allows herself to envision a future with Aeden, but when he decides to leave the lab it becomes clear to her that she must make a choice. It is only years later, when she is about to receive a prestigious award for the work they did together, that Emily is able to unravel everything that happened between them. A sharp, relevant novel that speaks to the ambitions and desires of modern women, The DNA of You and Me explores the evergreen question of career versus family, the irrational sensibility of love, and whether one can be a loner without a diagnostic label.

A Fine Line between Stupid and Clever - Rob Reiner
For the first time, director Rob Reiner and co-creators Christopher Guest, Michael McKean and Harry Shearer provide the full behind-the-scenes story of the making of the groundbreaking mockumentary This Is Spinal Tap and its upcoming sequel. Since its original release in 1984, This Is Spinal Tap has evolved from a beloved cult film into a cinematic landmark: an all-time comedy classic that pioneered an entire genre: the mockumentary. Now, director Rob Reiner and his co-writers and co-stars, Christopher Guest, Michael McKean and Harry Shearer, tell the complete story of the movie and its fictitious band – how they met, how Spinal Tap came to be, and how their low-budget indie film took on a life of its own. Years after the movie first came out, the Library of Congress selected This Is Spinal Tap for inclusion in the National Film Registry and Tap went on to play the Royal Albert Hall, Wembley Stadium, and to over 100,000 fans at Glastonbury. Reiner, Guest, McKean and Shearer provide the backstories to the movie’s famous lines – among them 'Hello, Cleveland!,' 'None more black,' 'You can’t dust for vomit' and 'These go to eleven' – and to such Tap anthems as 'Big Bottom' and 'Stonehenge'. Featuring never-before-seen photographs, band memorabilia and personal reminiscences of their enduring creative partnership, A Fine Line Between Stupid and Clever will delight Tap-heads of all ages – just as the long-awaited Spinal Tap sequel is hitting theatres. BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE! A Fine Line Between Stupid and Clever also comes with a bonus memoir by Reiner’s directorial alter ego, Marty DiBergi, in which he interviews Tap band members Nigel Tufnel, David St. Hubbins and Derek Smalls about their musical journey and their drummers who paid the ultimate sacrifice to the rock gods.

Coasting - Elise Downing
Longlisted for the William Hill Sports Book of the Year Award 2021 Running away from your problems doesn''t solve anything - but sometimes it''s more fun than dealing with them Elise was spending a lot of time crying on buses. She had just graduated from university; she had a shiny new flat, her first proper job and a budding relationship - and they were all making her utterly miserable. Sitting at work one day, she hit upon the obvious solution: Run 5,000 miles around the coast of Britain, carrying her kit on her back. Six months later Elise set off, with absolutely no ultra-running experience, unable to read a map and having never pitched a tent alone before. Over the 301 days that followed she developed a debilitating fear of farmyard animals, cried on a lot of beaches and saw Britain at its most wild and wonderful. Coasting is about putting one foot in front of the other, even when it feels impossible, and trying to enjoy it too. With heart and humour, Elise explores the thrill of taking risks and putting your trust in total strangers, and learns some home truths along the way. ''A true Great British Adventure, with humour and heart.'' Sir Ranulph Fiennes ''Elise Downing has achieved the impossible - leaving you in awe at her superhuman achievements, but also convincing you that you could probably do the same.'' Emily Chappell ''A hugely enjoyable jaunt around Britain, that proves that you can find adventure right on your doorstep.'' Alastair Humphreys ''Elise Downing has reminded us all of the most crucial aspects of adventure: 1) You don''t have to be an expert. 2) It''s all about the people. 3) However hard, tough, excruciating and doubt-driven a challenge might be, at heart it''s a funny, funny story.'' Dave Cornthwaite ''Reading Coasting is like listening to a friend tell a tale down the pub that you can''t quite believe. Elise''s storytelling is hilarious, warm-hearted and wonderfully down-to-earth. It''s the kind of book that makes you want to lace up your trainers and start running towards that mad idea you once had. There''s no doubt that Elise''s gung-ho attitude is her superpower. Her kryptonite? Cows.'' Anna McNuff, author and adventurer ''Elise''s irresistibly readable adventures are both ordinary and extraordinary at the same time. She''s an inspiration.'' Damian Hall, author and ultrarunner ''Funny and engaging and inspiring... an absolute gem.''Vassos Alexander, presenter, author and runner ''A beautifully observed and blisteringly truthful account of what happens when you decide to combine adventure and endurance. Absolutely brilliant.'' Jake Tyler, author of A Walk from the Wild Edge ''An honest and exciting tale of how a dream became an awesome reality. Definitely worth a read!'' Ben Smith, founder of The 401 Challenge ''I was already laughing at the Dedication and this continued all the way to the very last page. Elise Downing is a comedy genius and has a heart of gold!'' Danny Bent, author, runner and founder of Project Awesome ''Elise tells her story with such good-humoured light-heartedness that you could be forgiven for forgetting that what she is describing is a feat of real endurance. Running 5,000 miles is a truly remarkable achievement, and the fact that Elise emerged from it with a smile on her face and a total lack of ego speaks wonders to her character. This is an incredible tale told with total humility. Running around the coast of Great Britain was a mad thing to do, but not buying this book would be madder still.'' Tim Moss, author, adventurer and founder of The Next Challenge ''Like any epic journey worth sharing, Elise encountered the same doubts, setbacks and fears that leave many dreams stuck on the drawing board. One foot after the other, Elise set out to achieve the extraordinary many miles over. Coasting shares the literal highs and lows as she finds her rite of passage to the world of ultra-running, with an endearing vulnerability and hilarious flair that brings places to life. In the same way that countless strangers felt compelled to join her around the UK, Coasting carries the reader along and inspires us all to ask ''why not?'' in pursuit of our own home-grown adventures.'' Alex Staniforth, adventurer and author ''A wonderfully honest tale of courage, perseverance and self-discovery.''Dr Juliet McGrattan, author and runner ''Elise brings so much fun and energy, as well as raw honesty, to the world of adventure books, and her incredible journey is an inspiration to young (and old!) adventurers.'' Jenny Tough, author, adventurer and editor of Tough Women Adventure Stories ''Thoughtful, funny and beautifully written. Just goes to show that there''s a ram-spinning, swashbuckling adventure right there on your doorstep.'' Huw Jack Brassington, writer, presenter and adventurer

Měla světlé vlásky, velké modré oči a zvědavý pohled. Chaloupka byla malá, útulná a přes její okna byl nádherný výhled na oblohu plnou hvězd. Eliška ráda sledovala noční oblohu. Byla plná malých zářivých hvězdiček, které byly každý večer stejné. Jedna z nich ale byla větší a jiná než ostatní. Jednou byla kulatá, jindy se podobala rohlíku a někdy se neukázala vůbec. Eliška ji měla ze všech nejraději, každý večer se na ni těšila a časem jí dala jméno. LUNA… Jednoho dne se Eliška vydala na procházku do lesa. Byl krásný slunečný den. V lese je toho tolik co objevovat. Eliška sbírala jehličí a listy, poležela si v měkoučkém mechu, nakrmila zvířátka a pozorovala veverky. Ani se nenadála a les najednou zahalila tma. Eliška se tmy bála, protože po tmě neuměla najít cestu domů. Sedla si na pařez a plakala. V tom se na obloze objevila Luna. Eliška si promnula očka a toužebně se podívala na oblohu. „Luno, prosím ukaž mi cestu domů.“ A Luna zasvítila na lesní cestičku a dovedla Elišku do bezpečí její chaloupky.
