A lot can happen in 90 minutes. From football's codification in
1863 to the modern era - goals, red cards and even substitutions
have led to some of the strongest and most remarkable sporting
legacies. The game has grown into the world's largest and most
supported sport, with all aspects of modern life being drawn into
its continually expanding empire. This book journeys through
football's incredible history to examine some of the game's most
fascinating minutes of play which, to this day, provoke lasting
memories. These key moments show how there is often far more to a
minute of football than just 60 seconds. The impact can last for
years, decades or centuries. By looking at the history of goals,
finals and even corners we get a clear picture of how football
became the game we know and love today. From the first goal in an
FA Cup Final to Diego Maradona's 'hand of God', The History of
Football in Ninety Minutes (Plus Extra Time) gives fuel to the
notion that every minute in football counts.

This book explores the mingling of two rather different
perspectives, those of the naval and aeronautical schools of
thought, and the impact that they had upon one another in natural,
professional and geopolitical settings. To explain the manner in
which air power was incorporated into warfare between 1914 and 1945
it studies the deeds of practitioners, the limitations of
technology, the realities of combat and the varying institutional
dynamics and strategic priorities of the major maritime powers. It
is underpinned by an appreciation of the geostrategic setting of
the key maritime states, while addressing the challenges of
operating in this multifaceted environment and the major
technological developments which enabled air power to play an ever
greater role in the maritime sphere. The potential for air power to
influence warfare in the maritime environment was fully realised
during the Second World War and its impact is demonstrated through
an analysis of a wide range of the fleet operations and how it was
utilised in the defence of trade and sea lanes. As such this book
will be of interest to both naval and air power historians and
those wanting a fuller perspective on maritime strategy in this
period.
Apocalypse, it seems, is everywhere. Preachers with vast followings
proclaim the world's end. Apocalyptic fears grip even the
nonreligious amid climate change, pandemics, and threats of nuclear
war. As these ideas pervade popular discourse, grasping their logic
remains elusive. Ben Jones argues that we can gain insight into
apocalyptic thought through secular thinkers. He starts with a
puzzle: Why would secular thinkers draw on Christian apocalyptic
beliefs - often dismissed as bizarre - to interpret politics? The
apocalyptic tradition proves appealing in part because it theorizes
a relation between crisis and utopia. Apocalyptic thought points to
crisis as the vehicle to bring the previously impossible within
reach, offering resources for navigating challenges in ideal
theory, which involves imagining the best, most just society. By
examining apocalyptic thought's appeal and risks, this study
arrives at new insights on the limits of utopian hope. This title
is available as open access on Cambridge Core.
Top scholars provide a critical analysis of the current ethical
challenges facing police officers, police departments, and the
criminal justice system From George Floyd to Breonna Taylor, the
brutal deaths of Black citizens at the hands of law enforcement
have brought race and policing to the forefront of national debate
in the United States. In The Ethics of Policing, Ben Jones and
Eduardo Mendieta bring together an interdisciplinary group of
scholars across the social sciences and humanities to reevaluate
the role of the police and the ethical principles that guide their
work. With contributors such as Tracey Meares, Michael Walzer, and
Franklin Zimring, this volume covers timely topics including race
and policing, the use of aggressive tactics and deadly force,
police abolitionism, and the use of new technologies like drones,
body cameras, and predictive analytics, providing different
perspectives on the past, present, and future of policing, with
particular attention to discriminatory practices that have
historically targeted Black and Brown communities. This volume
offers cutting-edge insight into the ethical challenges facing the
police and the institutions that oversee them. As high-profile
cases of police brutality spark protests around the country, The
Ethics of Policing raises questions about the proper role of law
enforcement in a democratic society.

'Fascinating and insightful . . . lifts the curtain to reveal the
inner workings of international cricket. A must-read for any
cricketer, coach or fan' Eoin Morgan 'This path-breaking book
should be compulsory reading for commentators and captains - and
all cricket fans' Mervyn King 'Clever and original but also wise'
Ed Smith How valuable is winning the toss? And how should captains
use it to their advantage? Why does a cricket ball swing? Why don't
Indians bat left-handed? What is a good length and why? Why are
leg-spinners so successful in T20 cricket? Why did England win the
World Cup? Why do all Test bowlers bowl at either 55 or 85mph? Why
don't they pitch it up? All cricketers long to know the answer to
these questions and many more. Only fifteen years ago it would have
been difficult to answer them - cricket was guided only by
decades-old tradition and received wisdom. Data has changed
everything. Today we can track every ball to within millimetres;
its release point, speed and bounce point are measured as are how
much the ball swings, how much it deviates off the pitch, the exact
height and line that it passes the stumps, and multiple other
variables. Hitting Against the Spin is the story of that data, and
what it can tell us about how cricket really works. Leading cricket
thinkers Nathan Leamon and Ben Jones lift the lid on international
cricket and explain its hidden workings and dynamics - the forces
that shape cricket and, in turn, the cricketers who play it. They
analyse the unseen hands that determine which players succeed and
which fail, which tactics work and which don't, which teams win and
which lose. They also explore the new world of franchise cricket as
well as the rapid evolution of the T20 format. Revolutionary in its
insights, Hitting Against the Spin takes you on a fascinating
whistle-stop tour of modern cricket and sports analytics, bringing
cricket firmly into the twenty-first century by revealing its
long-kept secrets. This is the most important cricket book in
decades.

Football is more than just a game. Over the past 150 years it has
become a source of identity, conflict and debate for all who follow
and play it. It has reached the farthest corners of the globe and
boasts more players and supporters than any other sport. Football's
Fifty Most Important Moments charts the illustrious, colourful and
often tragic history of football, uncovering the sport's most
significant and staggering moments. Starting in Victorian England
with the 1857 introduction of modern football, we journey through
160 years of incredible events to the modern day, where new and
innovative ideas are changing the game. Since its creation,
football has been shaped by the actions of teams, supporters and of
course remarkable individuals on and off the pitch. Whether through
mass spectatorship at the 1923 'White Horse Final' or the infamous
'Hand of God' in 1986, football has never failed to amaze and
inspire. Learn about its evolution from its modest 19th-century
roots to the modern age of nine-figure transfer fees and
billionaire investors.
