David Fathers presents a unique and richly illustrated guide to the London section of the Thames Path, newly updated to reflect the city's ever-changing landscape. The iconic path, which stretches from the lost floodplains of Richmond all the way  to the Thames Barrier, is a panoramic 40-mile walk through 2000 years of London's history. From the old docks and wharves that primed the Industrial Revolution, through the heart of British Government, Monarchy and Church to the City of London that took its very existence from the river. From the site of the Putney Debates at St Mary's Church to Wren's mighty baroque cathedral of St Paul's. From the great Victorian engineering works of Sir Joseph Bazalgette and his attempts to clean up a polluted London and the river to the Thames Barrier seeking to protect huge parts of London from rising sea levels. From London Bridge, site of the oldest crossing point, to the Millennium Bridge, the Thames' newest crossing.  This book explains the panorama we see today, what came before and how the changes came about. Each double page shows the distance covered so you can plan your own tour of the river.

Fair Game (Hardcover): Tom Connolly Fair Game (Hardcover)
Tom Connolly
R753 Discovery Miles 7 530 Ships in 9 - 17 working days

Tom Connolly's journey into non-league football unearthed something bigger than sport. The result is a collection of stunning photographs recording the lives lived on the perimeter of the pitch. For anyone who craves fairness in life and wants fairness in sport, modern elite football offers a confusing, love-hate relationship, one which sent Tom Connolly in search of the game he had fallen in love with as a boy. Like many of the men and women he met on the non-league terraces, he found it in grassroots football. Football fans have always been fair game for vilification and stereotyping. This book is about the human beings to be found in the beautiful game. Telling its story through a collection of remarkable black-and-white and colour photos of the people who make the game what it is, FAIR GAME reminds us that in community-minded non-league football clubs, the heart and soul of sport is alive and well, against all the odds and despite those running and owning the upper reaches of the game.

Behind the Rose lifts the lid on what it is to play for England - the trials and tribulations behind the scenes, the glory, the drama and the honour on the field, and the heart-warming tales of friendship and humour off it.Absorbing and illuminating, this is a must-have for all supporters who have ever dreamed of walking the hallowed corridors of Twickenham as a Test match player, preparing themselves for battle in the changing rooms and then marching out to that field of dreams with the deafening roar of the crowd in their ears and the red rose emblazoned on their chest.

Homeward Bound - After a Lifetime at Sea (Paperback): Bill Van Bommel Homeward Bound - After a Lifetime at Sea (Paperback)

R532 Discovery Miles 5 320 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Having skippered and delivered in excess of 750 Motor Cruisers over the past 40 years, totalling a distance equivalent to 29 times around the world, has provided me with a number of adventurous and sometimes hair-raising stories to tell. Thankfully, I have lived to tell the tales! "Homeward Bound" starts with daily notes of the author's last single-handed voyage from the south of France to the south coast of England. In between these notes he recalls some of his memorable adventures, which he tells in such a way that the reader could almost be there with him, often experiencing how quickly a difficult situation at sea can turn into a disastrous one. Although showing the serious side of sailing there is also a fair amount of humour in his writing. An enjoyable and entertaining read.

It's a Glasgow Rangers Story (Paperback): Duncan Whitelaw It's a Glasgow Rangers Story (Paperback)

R382 Discovery Miles 3 820 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Ever since I recall I have followed football, And ingrained in my heart are the Rangers FC, Through good and the bad, times of happy or sad, It will always be Rangers for me. For when I was a lad, I was led by the hand, Down the Paisley Road West, I will never forget, That beautiful sight, of the red, blue and white, From that day I'd be Rangers for life. And I vowed to my dad if I too have a lad, I would show him the way as he did on that day, And so now here I stand with young Lyle by the hand, After walking down Paisley Road West. For when I was a lad, I was led by the hand, Down the Paisley Road West, I will never forget, That beautiful sight, of the red, blue and white, From that day I'd be Rangers for life. There's a great sense of pride, that I feel deep inside, As I'm watching the 'Gers, with my father and son, And its sure safe to say, at the end of the day, Win or lose we will all follow on. (Lyrics by: Davie Macintosh)

The physical training has been beneficial because it has given me a positive mental attitude and a new found integrity, discipline and a sense of purpose which is as important to this Karate master as the self defence ability instilled in his students. It is my belief that martial arts should stand for a Truth, Integrity, Honour, Discipline and High Integritya . A martial art has to be applicable for the times we are living in because of the changes that occur in our society. This has led me to adapt my training and teaching to fit with the changes that are occurring in our modern society. A a realistica need for practical self defence is a must. Therefore a teacher or master must teach students in a truthful, realistic manner to prepare them for what could happen in a possible street attack or altercation. My journey has led me to learn many things and has given me a great insight into the make up of potential attackers and how to avoid potentially bad violent situations. I always try to instil in my students that try to avoid any confrontation at all cost, if you can walk away from a potential bad situation do it if need be run away if you have to your objective is to keep yourself safe so you can live your life as peaceably as possible. However sometimes things can go wrong and you have to engage and you have to rely on your possible self defence skills. a Remember: life is for livinga Shihan Mark Kirton 6th Dan

We often think of Baseball as an American sport. While baseball is considered to be America s national pastime, it is also played all over the world, including Canada, Japan, the Caribbean islands, and South America, just to name a few places. This slow moving, nonviolent game has not only captured the hearts of Americans, but has also spread to other parts of the world. In the United States, baseball is still considered to be the ultimate sport. While the Super bowl, which is the final contest for American pro-football, gets more television viewers than any other event each year, baseball is still followed and watched. Boys and even girls of all ages join little league by the time they are around 4 or 5 years old and learn to play this game. Most American children understand the rules of baseball and have, at one time or another, played this game. The rules of baseball are simple. They have changed little throughout the ages, although there are doubts as to the origin of the game. While historians argue over how and when baseball started, one thing is clear, by the end of the 19th century, it was already America s pastime. Baseball field sizes have changed. The size of the bat has changed as have the size of the balls. The distance between the pitcher s mound has been modified throughout the years as has the distance between the bases. But the main gist of the game has remained the same for over 100 years."
