This book is a personal, photographic diary-record of twenty years
of the London art world, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the
London Art and Artists Guide. John Russell Taylor has written an
illuminating introduction, showing how these photographs are a
personal record of who was who and what was what on the London art
scene of the 1980s and the 1990s. These photographs will be seen in
the future as a social document, showing how exhibitions have
changed over twenty years. This book is an insider's visual diary
to the London art world, showing how it can be like the theater
stage, with players waiting in the wings: having deadaches,
hangovers, heartache and coping with gossip, pressure, competition
and occasionally auditioning for the limelight, which can be brief
or of long duration depending on passing trends. Center stage are
David Hockney, Allen Jones and other lesser known artists, beside
art dealers, critics, curators who appear in and out of
exhibitions, studios and at art fairs. "Even putting aside the
frequent beauty of these images as images, for anyone who needs to
look beyond easy nostalgia and use them as a learning tool, the
collection should be a treasure trove indeed. - John Russell

When Josep 'Pep' Guardiola was a part of Barcelona's "Dream Team",
he knew he wanted to swap the pitch for the touchline. But learning
how to handle the pressure, the press and the outrageous talent a
the top of football doesn't happen overnight. From his experience
as a player to his time leading some of the most formidable sides
in football history, this is the incredible story of how Pep forged
himself into one of the greatest tactical managers of all time.
This book is part of Tales from the Touchline - a new offshoot from
Ransom's popular Tales from the Pitch series. In each of these
books, Harry Coninx reveals the inspiring journey of a
game-changing manager, in a fresh, pundit-like voice. Along the
way, fans will meet some of the biggest personalities in the game,

human stories behind the managers they watch on their screens week
after week. At only 120 pages long, these books have been specially
written and designed to make them ideal reads for reluctant and
dyslexic readers.
From Francesca Cavallo, author of the NY Times bestseller Good
Night Stories for Rebel Girls. This is the true story of
Jean-Baptiste Alaize. Now an exceptional sprinter and long jumper,
Jean-Baptiste lost his right leg when he was just three years old
during the civil war in Burundi. When he met his adoptive dad,
Robert, Jean-Baptiste had never seen a white man before. But they
bonded over the fact that his dad too had lost his right leg in an
accident years before. Through the story of this extraordinary
athlete, The Long Jump tackles themes such as transracial adoption,
living with a disability, finding your purpose and achieving your
dreams. Paralympians is a non-fiction picture book series telling
the stories of four champions who do things their own way and are
reinventing sport.

'There's a growing awareness that for the good of their health,
children need to be out and about more, with their friends,
exploring the outdoor world in their own way.' - Nicola Butler,
Director of the Free Play Network
It is widely acknowledged that children today do not get
outdoors often enough and there are serious concerns about
children's activity levels and rising associated behavioural,
mental and health problems. With such structured and
technology-driven lives, it is easy for young children to stay
indoors, play on computers and not socialise with other children in
a healthy and active way.
This book not only supports 'playing out' as an integral part of
children's natural growth and development, but also provides early
years workers with a full programme of outdoor physical activities
to promote physical, social and behavioural skills.
This book is a guidebook to setting up an outdoor physical
activity programme in any early years setting. The book focuses on
how getting outdoors and taking part in physical activities will
provide children with positive fun experiences to enhance their
general learning and development. The programme can be adapted to
suit any timescale - from a whole term to one or two days.
Key features include showing practitioners:
- how to make the most of their outdoor area for all
children
- step by step explanations to the outdoor activities
- how to engage participants (including parents)
- how to set up and plan activities
- ideas for group and individual assessment
- how to carry out risk assessments
- how an outdoors programme can changechildren's lives for the
better.
