Blood on the Tracks

England in Australia: The 1974-75 Ashes

By David Tossell

Blood on the Tracks tells the thrilling and brutal story of the 1974/75 Ashes series. As the 1975 edition of the Wisden Cricketers’ Almanack put it, “Never in the ninety-eight years of Test cricket have batsmen been so grievously bruised and battered by ferocious, hostile short-pitched balls as were those led conscientiously by Mike Denness.”

Led by tearaway speedsters Dennis Lillee and Jeff Thomson, the Australian bowling attack terrorised the tourists during the six-match series – by the end of the first Test, two English batsmen had suffered broken bones. There was plenty more suffering to follow as the Aussies blitzed their way to a 4-1 victory. When Bob Dylan released his album Blood on the Tracks a few days after the Ashes had been surrendered it could have been timed deliberately to provide a future author with a book title that reflected events in Australia.

LARA The England Chronicles

By Brian Lara

The true untouchables of sport possess a kind of mystery, and Larathrill seeker, record holder, genius - stands as perhaps cricket's deepest enigma, at once a beautifully free stroke maker whose creativity captured an era, and an often-tortured presence at the heart of a faltering West Indies side as the great teams of the past faded from view. He saved his best work for England. His two world-record Test innings both came against them, ten years apart. His otherworldly 501*, the highest score in cricket history, took place in Birmingham. Even his final game for the West Indies came against England. He understood what was at stake, what he stood for. Lara saw himself as a torchbearer for generations of revolutionary cricketers from the Caribbean stretching back through the ages, their deeds reilluminated with flashes of his own.

Sport and the French

An English Perspective

By David Owen

What - you may ask is the point of an English perspective on French sport? In David Owen's own words, "you might just as well seek out a sea otter's take on kabuki". Nevertheless, having lived upwards of ten per cent of his life in France, and a lot more than that immersed in French grammar, current affairs, and culture, he offers exactly that in this entertaining new book. Drawing on examples from the past six centuries, the author explores sport's philosophical standing in France's cultural DNA; its role in the popularisation of the Republic; the birth of the Olympics, the Tour de France, and the football World Cup; French pre-eminence at real tennis and truffle hunting; and - of course - 'la difference' between British and French attitudes to sport.

Harrier

The World's First VSTOL Jet Combat Aircraft

By Philip Birtles

Harrier tells the story of the unique development of a practical V/STOL combat concept, from its first out-rigger constrained hover to a very versatile ground attack aircraft, which could deliver multiple precision weapons in close support of ground troops, as well as air defence of naval assets. When first flown, the aircraft could barely carry enough fuel for more than a few minutes of hovering, but with the later US Marine Corps AV-8B Plus and RAF GR.9s, it could deliver over two tons of ordnance with great accuracy, day, and night, in all weathers. The story of this aircraft, which brought a whole new concept to air combat, covers the development of the V/STOL system into a practical asset, as well as its operational service in regional conflicts with both the USMC and RAF in Europe and the Middle East.

Slavery and the Scottish Enlightenment

By John D. O. Fulton

How did the evil nature of slavery become enshrined in law in Great Britain? What drove the change in public perception? What were the key victories on the journey to abolition and who were the key players? What is to prevent a similar evil gaining acceptance again today? Just as Britain's industrial development in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries was built largely on the back of slave labour, so too was the development of new ideas and values, shaped by the moral dilemmas arising from the shameful act of denying people their liberty. The story of the Scottish Enlightenment is entwined with that of slavery and the slave trade. In fifteen stories set between 1720 and 1865 in Britain, Africa, the Caribbean and America, Slavery and the Scottish Enlightenment introduces a diverse cast of characters.

The Sirdar and the Khalifa

Kitchener's Reconquest of the Sudan, 1896-98

By Mark Simner

Perhaps one of the most dramatic events of the late Victorian period was the death of General Charles 'Chinese' Gordon at the hands of the Mahdi's fanatical warriors as they finally broke their way into the Sudanese city of Khartoum. The story is well known, recounted in numerous books, and celebrated in the film 'Khartoum' starring Charlton Heston. However, what is perhaps less well known is the subsequent-and far more successful-campaign fought by the British against the Mahdi's successor, the Khalifa, by General Kitchener, the Sirdar of the Egyptian Army, over a decade later. The Sirdar and the Khalifa examines Kitchener's belated campaign to re-conquer the Sudan and avenge the death of General Gordon: a war that began in 1896 and ended less than two years later with the epic Battle of Omdurman.

Operation Tonga

The Glider Assault: 6 June 1944

By Stephen Wright, Kevin Shannon

From training for the operation to the evacuations after D-Day, this is the story of the Glider Pilot Regiment's role in the first stage of the airborne assault in the Normandy landings on 6 June 1944. Operation Tonga was vital to the success of D-Day. It included the famous attacks on the Merville Battery and the bridges over the Orne River and Caen Canal, as well as the lesser known, though equally important provision of an anti-tank screen to protect the southern and eastern flanks of the invasion beaches from German counterattacks. This account, the product of several years of research, is told through the eyes of those who were there-glider pilots, paratroopers, pathfinders, tug crews and passengers. It includes the stories of the crews that evaded capture by the Germans and pays tribute to the help they received from local resistance fighters.

The Douglas DC-3

90 Glorious Years

By Geoff Jones

The Douglas DC-3 is as iconic an aircraft design as the Mustang or the Spitfire. It has endured more than any other, with a few hundred examples still in use across the world: from Africa, to Antarctica, to the USA. Many of the DC-3's current operators use turbine conversions of the type, with the main proponents from South Africa and Wisconsin, USA. Many fledgling US airlines blossomed due to their DC-3s, and almost every major post-war airline started running their schedules with this type; they took advantage of the surplus in military DC-3s (C-47s) after the Second World War, which had already helped to make history in operations such as the huge support for the D-Day Normandy Landings. In Douglas DC-3: 80 Glorious Years, Geoff Jones explores the rich history of the DC-3 from its beginnings in Southern California to its use across the world.

Hollywood Behind the Lens Treasures from the Bison Archives

By Marc Wanamaker, Steven Bingen

"Los Angeles is a city that runs from its own past" explains historian and Bison Archives owner Marc Wanamaker.

Many of Hollywood's legendary sets and props, mansions, theaters, restaurants, nightclubs, hotels, and even the studios and the films they produced are now either gone or have been redeveloped, repurposed, or remade beyond recognition.

Even more disarmingly, the physical ephemera associated with such items is often MIA as well.

Photographs, files, maps, documents, menus, production paperwork, records, manuscripts, everything from matchbooks to movie magazines and entire movie backlots have now been lost in the backwash of dubious progress, short-sighted corporate mindsets, and civic indifference.

Fortunately, for the last fifty years, in the very epicentre of Hollywood, thanks to Wanamaker, there has existed a haven where over 70,000 of these items, physically or photographically, have been collected and protected.

These artifacts tell the story of Hollywood's glorious past, as well as its uncertain future as the hub of filmmaking in America.

I Can't Remember If I Cried

Rock Widows on Life, Love, and Legacy

By Lori Tucker-Sullivan

The stories of rock musicians who die young are the thing of lore and legend. Accidents, drug overdoses, plane crashes all have taken the lives of male rock stars still in their primes. But what became of their widowed brides? How did they survive a loss so great? What is it like to have to share your grief with millions of strangers? And where are these widows today? I Can't Remember if I Cried is part music history, part memoir, based around interviews with rock widows conducted by Lori Tucker-Sullivan who herself lost her husband in 2010. With each widow that Lori interviews, she learns lessons in love, forgiveness, coping, and moving on. The book is framed by the author's own narrative to create a single thread that links the stories together to ultimately create a tale of how the author's life is changed through her interactions with these amazing women.

Gimme All Your Lovin'

The Blues, Boogie,

and Beard of ZZ Top's Billy F. Gibbons

By Christopher McKittrick

Before launching the iconic Texas blues-rock trio ZZ Top, a young Billy Gibbons was hustling through the Lone Star State with a band named the Moving Sidewalks. The small-time band had the chance of a lifetime when they opened for legendary rock guitar maestro Jimi Hendrix, who took the teenage Gibbons and took him under his wing. Over 50 years later, Gibbons is one of the most recognizable rock musicians in American history. From ZZ Top's early work in creating classic rock radio staples like "La Grange" and "Tush" in the 1970s to becoming a global phenomenon with innovative music videos in the early years of MTV, Gibbons has been the guiding hand behind ZZ Top's evolution from the "Little Ol' Band from Texas" to pop culture behemoth with the 1983 album Eliminator, which has sold over 20 million copies worldwide.

I Want to Take You Higher

The Life and Times of Sly and the Family Stone

By Jeff Kaliss

From his anthemic early hits ("I Want to Take You Higher," "Family Affair," "Dance to the Music"), through the moody meditations of "There's a Riot Going On" and beyond, Sly & the Family Stone left an indelible stamp on rock, funk, pop, and hip hop, and their enigmatic frontman continues to inspire fascination and speculation. Reissued in anticipation of the forthcoming documentary on the band from Questlove, this fully updated edition fills in the gaps since the book's original 2008 publication, including Sly's successful legal action against his former manager, the death of band member (and mother of a child with Sly) Cynthia Robinson, and the new projects undertaken by family and former collaborators.

Age

Brief Books about Big Ideas

By Suresh Rattan

A brief but engaging look at getting older. In Age, biogerontologist Suresh Rattan delves into the fascinating biology and philosophy of aging. Beginning with an exploration of the chemical origins and fundamental characteristics of life, Rattan then explains how gerontologists interpret human life as a continuum divided into four "ages." Our age flows forward and backward depending on how we feel, how we behave, and how we perceive ourselves. How we approach our age, and the age of others often determines our physical, mental, and social health as well as how we treat others. Thanks to evolution, our bodies maintain a homodynamic space that repairs our bodies until about the age of 45, at which point this space begins to shrink.

This book will support local government leaders who are: * caught in a reactive cycle of responding to daily problems and enquiries, * overwhelmed by never-ending reports, tasks, meetings, and priorities, * feeling defensive and frustrated in staff and Councillor interactions, * discouraged by strategies, diagrams and vision statements on the walls and shelves that seem to drive no action or progress, * struggling to build a sense of shared purpose, engagement and ownership with stakeholders and colleagues. In Local Legends, Alicia McKay explores the reasons for those challenges and presents three key strategic shifts Councils can make to move forward despite and even because of the uniquely tricky environment that is local government.

Money, Power, and the Corruption of America's Food Industry

By Austin Frerick, Eric Schlosser

Barons is the story of seven corporate titans, their rise to power, and the consequences for everyone else. Take Mike McCloskey, Chairman of Fair Oaks Farms. In a few short decades, he went from managing a modest dairy herd to running the Disneyland of agriculture, where school children ride trams through mechanized warehouses filled with tens of thousands of cows that never see the light of day. What was the key to his success? Hard work and exceptional business savvy? Maybe. But more than anything else, Mike benefitted from deregulation of the American food industry, a phenomenon that has consolidated wealth in the hands of select tycoons, and along the way, hollowed out the nation’s rural towns and local businesses.

Project Mayflower

Building and Sailing a Seventeenth-Century Replica

By Richard A. Stone

Today, the Mayflower II-the replica of the 1620 ship that brought the Pilgrims to America and launched a nation-is visited by some 2.6 million tourists annually and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. But there is much more to the replica's story than meets the eye. In fact, the origins of Project Mayflower began in the 1950s not with an American, but with a British World War II veteran named Warwick Charlton who had what seemed an impossible dream: build an historically accurate replica, sail her across the Atlantic, and present the finished product as a thank you to his country's wartime ally. What Charlton didn't know was that the son of a powerful New England financier had the same idea. Henry ("Harry") Hornblower II wanted a replica just as badly, though for a somewhat less altruistic reason.

Jane

Austen

and the Price of Happiness

By Inger Sigrun Bredkjaer Brodey

Do Jane Austen novels truly celebrate or undermine romance and happy endings? How did Jane Austen become a cultural icon for fairytale endings when her own books end in ways that are rushed, ironic, and reluctant to satisfy readers' thirst for romance? In Jane Austen and the Price of Happiness, Austen scholar Inger Sigrun Bredkjaer Brodey journeys through the iconic novelist's books in the first full-length study of Austen's endings. Through a careful exploration of Austen's own writings and those of the authors she read during her lifetime as well as recent cultural reception and adaptations of her novels Brodey examines the contradictions that surround this queen of romance. Brodey argues that Austen's surprising choices in her endings are an essential aspect of the writer's own sense of the novel and its purpose. Austen's fiercely independent and deeply humanistic ideals led her to develop a style of ending all her own.

Colour Meditation

By Kees Veenman, Christine Gruwez

"Is there also such a thing as the essence of color? For me, the essence is the spiritual aspect that lives in color. Making this spiritual aspect accessible is the purpose of this book." Kees Veenman. We are all familiar with the world of color, but can we learn to experience color more intensely? Can we learn to penetrate colors in a more profound way? This book takes the reader into the activity of the colors of the spectrum by investigating them meditatively. The author explains aspects of color phenomenology and prepares the reader for color meditations, including some that he has incorporated into his own personal practices. Kees Veenman, a phenomenologist who specializes in colors, begins by observing the spring gold and the autumn gold of trees before introducing the phenomenological method whereby his research connects with Goethes theory of color and that of Rudolf Steiner

Lest we Forget . . .

Combining documentary poetics with rigorous analysis of the flood of Covid misinformation, this volume records one American citizens concerted attempt to make intellectual and moral sense of a tumultuous time that shook the foundations of the world.

Corona Blood Phenomena

Microscopic Examinations of Blood, Serum, and Cerebrospinal Fluid: Healthy - Vaccinated - Recovered

By Inge Just-Nastansky

This book was occasioned by the many patients who sought medical treatment for Covid or after receiving a Covid "vaccine." The blood of these patients was studied using the method of drop-image microscopy. The results of this research including examinations of the blood of "vaccinated" and "unvaccinated" as well as healthy and recovered patients is documented here, along with normal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and the CSF of a patient after three "vaccinations." The dropimage method has been used for over twenty years. The phenomena in the drop-images documented here have never been encountered before. Covid illness and "vaccination" bring about an unprecedented change in the blood in some cases, a complete destruction of the protein structures. This raises many questions.
