have fun and remain safe.
A lieutenant in the Royal Navy who served in South America, the
Crimea and China, Charles Stuart Forbes (1829-76) was one of the
many Englishmen who volunteered to support Giuseppe Garibaldi
during the Risorgimento. Garibaldi (1807-82) was an immensely
popular figure in England, often being identified with English
heroes of the past. Streets, food and clothing were named in his
honour, while Queen Victoria commented that he was 'honest,
disinterested and brave'. Published in 1861, Forbes' work tells,
mostly through letters, of the progress of the last territorial
conquest before the creation of the Kingdom of Italy. From Forbes
we learn something of the messianic character attributed to
Garibaldi: 'I have many times been told, in all sincerity by the
peasants, that he is the brother of the Redeemer.' This remains a
valuable first-hand account of some of the most important events in
the founding of modern Italy.
The nineteenth century saw an influx of British travellers to
Iceland, drawn by growing interest in its saga literature or by the
potential for scientific discovery offered by its volcanic and
glacial landscapes. Charles Stuart Forbes (1829-76), an officer in
the Royal Navy, was one of these adventurers. In this work, first
published in 1860, he gives a vivid and detailed account of his
journeys across the island, conveying his wonder at its natural
phenomena and sharing his observations on its history, culture and
way of life. A fervent supporter of Garibaldi, Forbes went on to
publish in 1861 The Campaign of Garibaldi in the Two Sicilies (also
reissued in this series). While making little reference here to the
growing movement for independence from Denmark, the present work,
written with colour and wit, remains an engaging source of
information on Iceland.
The second volume of the popular 101 Youth Football Coaching
Sessions: an authoritative and invaluable resource for football
coaches looking for varied and inclusive coaching ideas. Written by
celebrated football coaches Tony Charles and Stuart Rook, this
clearly illustrated new volume contains 101 brand new warm-ups,
skills training, games and final practice drills, with a linking
system for each exercise so that the coach can create a session
using a number of the exercises. The sessions are designed
specifically for younger players. Each session aims to make
football fun yet informative, and help young players develop. Each
session is inclusive, allowing every child to take part and be
active. Every session is aimed at enjoyment and has progressions
which allow the players to develop at their own pace.
