world's most talented footballers - Golden Boot winner and Player
of the Tournament at the UEFA Euro 2022, England Player of the Year
2021-22, Arsenal Player of the Season 2021-22, and nominee for the
2022 Ballon d'Or. But long before this, Beth was just an ordinary

Middlesbrough FC's Centre of Excellence and making her professional
debut at Sunderland, Beth and women's football have come a long
way. Now, Beth shares the challenges that shaped her, what she
faced on the journey to the top, and the life events that made her
stronger - from being dropped from the England squad and receiving
devastating family news, to finding her best form under the
guidance of Jonas Eidevall and Sarina Wiegman. Filled with positive
lessons and an exclusive account of England's triumphant Euros
campaign, Beth offers readers of all ages a heartfelt,
behind-the-scenes look into her remarkable journey to glory.

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 'Wrighty's characteristic honesty means
his book is far more engrossing than most bland football memoirs'
Sunday Times Ian Wright, Arsenal legend, England striker and TV
pundit extraordinaire, is one of the most interesting and relevant
figures in modern football. His journey from a South London council
estate to national treasure is everybody's dream. From Sunday
morning football directly to Crystal Palace; from 'boring, boring
Arsenal' to inside the Wenger Revolution; from Saturday afternoons
on the pitch to Saturday evenings on primetime television; from a
week in prison to inspiring youth offenders, Ian will reveal all
about his extraordinary life and career. Ian will also frankly
discuss how retirement affects footballers, why George Graham
deserves a statue, social media, why music matters, breaking
Arsenal's goal-scoring record, racism, the unadulterated joy of
playing alongside Dennis Bergkamp and, of course, what he thinks of
Tottenham. Not a standard footballer's autobiography, Ian Wright's
memoir is a thoughtful and gripping insight into a Highbury Hero
and one of the greatest sports stars of recent years.

overload of the modern age, helping readers to disengage from chaos
and find stillness within. In this practical book, experienced
osteopath Ian Wright blends holistic disciplines - including those
from Buddhism,Taoism and Aboriginal traditions - with modern
science and fluid dynamics to help readers quieten their minds to
self-heal. Through mindfulness and meditation techniques, he guides

the same time allowing them to establish a very deep connection
between their senses and the world.
A thrilling new story set in 19th century London, in which Sherlock
Holmes risks his life to catch a serial killer. Holmes notices a
crowd gathered inside Hyde Park at the scene of a murder. He forces
his way through the crowd and discovers a decapitated body. As the
mystery starts to unfold, he begins to suspect that his presence at
this scene was no coincidence. Soon, more murders take place and a
sinister pattern starts to emerge. In each case a different body
part is removed from the victim, but to what end? The victims are
carefully chosen, and clues are purposely left for Holmes to
discover. These clues lead Holmes closer to the killer, who seems
to be using them as a means to taunt the detective. It becomes
clear to Holmes that he and Doctor Watson are being hunted and are
likely to become the killer's final victims. Despite this, he feels
compelled to continue his investigation to catch the killer and
bring the murders to an end. Meanwhile, the killer watches as
Holmes follows clues that lead him through the streets of Victorian
London and into a dangerous trap. From here, there is no escape for
the great detective and the only way out is death.

If You're Not a Terrorist... Then Stop Asking Questions is the
hilarious follow-up to Micah Ian Wright's hit debut, You Back The
Attack We'll Bomb Who We Want Wright creates a stellar send-up of
the Administration's War at Home, combining "remixed" full-color
World War-era propaganda posters with critical political commentary
to deliver a scabrous take on the State of the Union. Taking aim at
corporate corruption, the Bush White House, Ashcroftian
legislation, embedded reporters, the 2004 presidential elections
and super-patriotism, this is a must for art collectors and
rabble-rousers both.
