‘The game isn’t what it seems from the outside. The game isn’t quite what I was expecting. The game doesn’t always work like the people on television think it does. The game is better, worse and stranger than you can imagine, and that is coming from someone who saw it all with their own eyes.’ Ever wondered what really goes on inside a Premier League dressing room, what it’s like to train under Roy Hodgson, Roberto Mancini and Fabio Capello – and what happens when you kick a sandwich at one of them? When it comes to football, former Manchester City and England star Micah Richards has seen it all – and laughed about most of it. In The Game, Micah shares his funniest and frankest stories from on and off the pitch, be it arriving at his first England training session with two left boots, attempting to supervise the infamous Mario Balotelli or winding up Roy Keane on Super Sunday. From how he spent his first Premier League paycheque and how he prepared – financially and mentally – for the day they stopped coming, to the euphoria of lifting the Premier League trophy and the physical and emotional impact of injury, Micah reflects openly on the many wins and losses in professional football. Full of Micah’s signature cheeky wit, this intimate, unmissable memoir goes behind the scenes of the beautiful game and a remarkable life and career.

A funny, practical and crucial guide for women facing the life-changing prospect of returning to work after having children. Told by journalist, creative consultant and mother of two, Dolly Jones, The Ladder Down aims to be the definitive companion for parents navigating this complicated juggle (and for those thinking of doing so). When Dolly had her children, the idea of returning to work felt daunting. The thought of having to combine the challenges of career and family was unfamiliar yet, despite it being the experience of so many millions of women, she struggled to find material to help galvanise and reassure her; and to make her feel that anything was possible. In this book, Dolly aims to change all of that and provide women with practical advice, as well interweaving her own personal experiences. Told in an empowering and engaging way, The Ladder Down is a gift for the next generation of women taking on the trials, absurdities, challenges and general amusement involved in combining work and motherhood; one that will inspire and celebrate the women taking it on. Dolly will also combine anecdotal stories, life-hacks and guilt-avoidance strategies from a diverse range of women in a wide variety of industries – from fashion designers to taxi drivers, journalists to actors, lawyers to doctors, bankers, entrepreneurs and restaurateurs – to normalise the potential daily catastrophes in the life of a working mother. It will also feature serious advice from employers, employment lawyers and health specialists to boost knowledge and confidence; to act as a “ladder down†to the next generation of working women from a generation who have experimented their way to making it work.

A mile deep. 277-miles long. 18 miles wide. The Grand Canyon isn't just spectacular in terms of its size, scale and iconic stature – though it is MASSIVE – its also huge in terms of its popularity, remaining in the U.S.'s Top Five all-natural tourist hotspots. Located in Arizona, the Canyon was carved by the Colorado River 70 million years ago. Today, it's the whole world's most famous hole, where the view up is as impressive, and frightening, as the view looking down. The Little Book of the Grand Canyon condenses the beauty of this behemoth into the palm of your hand, squeezing it down to its essential facts, stats, quotes, notes, icons and origins, a compact compendium of canyon-based grandiosity. Put simply, it's everything you need to know before you go. 'The wonders of the Grand Canyon cannot be adequately represented in symbols of speech, nor by speech itself.' John Wesley Powell 'You can't say you're going to jump the Grand Canyon and then jump some other canyon.' Evel Knievel

"We'll always have Paris," croons Humphrey Bogart in "Casablanca

best of America drifts to Paris." But, should one never get the
opportunity to visit Paris, one might take consolation in the words
of critic William Hazlitt, who called it a "beast of a city." Be it
praise or colorful invective, everyone, it seems, has something to
say about the city and this slender volume--filled with wise,
witty, and sometimes scandalous quotes--presents the full range of
impressions it has made.

From the private papers of Mark Twain and Mozart to those of Robert Browning and Nelson, Love Letters of Great Men collects together some of the most romantic letters in history. For some of these great men, love is a 'delicious poison' (William Congreve); for others, 'a nice soft wife on a sofa with good fire, & books & music' (Charles Darwin). Love can scorch like the heat of the sun (Henry VIII), or penetrate the depths of one's heart like a cooling rain (Flaubert). Every shade of love is here, from the exquisite eloquence of Oscar Wilde and the simple devotion of Robert Browning, to the wonderfully modern misery of the Roman Pliny the Younger, losing himself in work to forget how much he misses his beloved wife, Calpurnia. Taken together, these Love Letters of Great Men show that perhaps men haven't changed so very much over the last 2,000 years; passion, jealousy, hope and longing are all represented here - as is the simple pleasure of sending a letter to, and receiving one from, the person you love most. |
