Martin O'Neill is one of the most fascinating and respected figures
in football. On Days Like These tells the story of his remarkable
career. For the first time, Martin O'Neill reflects on one of the
most varied and successful football careers in the British Isles.
He made his breakthrough playing for Distillery in Northern Ireland
before joining Brian Clough's legendary Nottingham Forest team,
becoming one of the few players who made the epic journey from the
Second Division to the glory years: winning the First Division
championship, two League Cups and back-to-back European Cups.
O'Neill represented Northern Ireland over sixty times, playing
alongside George Best and captaining the side at the 1982 World
Cup, where they reached the quarter-finals. As a manager, O'Neill's
celebrated leadership of Celtic saw them win seven trophies,
including three Scottish Premier League titles; and in England he
successfully led Leicester City to two League Cups and Aston Villa
to an unprecedented three consecutive top six Premier League
finishes. He oversaw the Republic of Ireland reaching the Euros in
2016, when they made it to the second round for the first time in
their history. With a career spanning over fifty years, Martin
tells of his exhilarating highs and painful lows; from the joys of
winning trophies, promotion and fighting for World Cups to being
harangued by fans, boardroom drama, relegation scraps and being
fired. Written with his trademark honesty and humour, On Days Like
These is one of the most insightful and captivating autobiographies
and a must-read for any fans of the beautiful game.
Give it to Moore, He Will Score! is the authorised biography of
footballing icon Ian Storey-Moore, Nottingham Forestâs legendary
forward of the 1960s and early 70s. Scoring more than 100
top-flight goals for Forest, he became the most sought-after
striker in the land. An England international, injury robbed him of
numerous caps and a place at the Mexico 1970 World Cup. Mooreâs
sensational on-off transfer to Derby County for a British record
fee was front-page news and left Brian Clough unable to speak to
him for two decades. Joining Manchester United instead, he played
alongside Best, Law and Charlton before sampling life in the
nascent US soccer scene. Here, for the first time, the authors tell
the full story of Mooreâs life and career, drawing on their
extensive interviews with him, his personal scrapbooks and their
own first-hand memories. With Moore still a hugely popular figure
among fans, his story is essential reading for Forest and United
supporters, plus anyone with an interest in football history.
'I was never as proud to be part of a team as I was being part of
that team.' PAT JENNINGS By the end of the 1970s, the Northern
Ireland football team was in the doldrums. Against a background of
civil unrest, the team had endured long periods of playing all
their games away from home and had just finished bottom of the
British Championship for the fourth successive year. Two years
later they walked onto the pitch against France to play for a place
in the 1982 World Cup semi-finals. In Fields of Wonder, Evan
Marshall charts Northern Ireland's incredible World Cup journey in
thrilling detail, from the appointment of Billy Bingham as manager
and the winning of the British Home Championship in 1980 through
the ups and downs of the qualifying stages, and that night of
pulsating drama against Spain in Valencia. Based on interviews with
manager Billy Bingham and with many of the players, including Pat
Jennings, Martin O'Neill, Gerry Armstrong and Norman Whiteside, and
told against the backdrop of the Troubles, this book vividly
captures the struggles, spirit and magic of Northern Ireland's 1982
World Cup campaign.

Improving health in populations in which health is poor is a
complex process. This book argues that the traditional government
approach of exhorting individuals to live healthier lifestyles is
not enough - action to promote public health needs to take place
not just through public agencies, but also by engaging community
assets and resources in their broadest sense. The book reports
lessons from the experience of planning, establishing and
delivering such action by the five-year Sustainable Health Action
Research Programme (SHARP) in Wales. It critically examines the
experience of SHARP in relation to current literature on policy;
community health and health inequalities; and action research. The
authors make clear how this regional development has produced
opportunities for developing general concepts and theory about
community-based policy developments that are relevant across
national boundaries and show that complex and sustained community
action, and effective local partnership, are fundamental components
of the mix of factors required to address health inequalities
successfully. The book concludes by indicating the connections
between SHARP and earlier traditions of community-based action, and
by arguing that we need to be bolder in our approaches to
community-based health improvement and more flexible in our
understanding of the ways in which knowledge and inform
developments in health policy. The book will be of interest to
practitioners and activists working in community-based projects;
students in community development, health studies and medical
sociology; professionals working in health promotion, community
nursing and allied areas; and policy makers working at local,
regional and national levels.
This is the first book to give a collective treatment of
philosophical issues relating to tax. The tax system is central to
the operation of states and to the ways in which states interact
with individual citizens. Taxes are used by states to fund the
provision of public goods and public services, to engage in direct
or indirect forms of redistribution, and to mould the behaviour of
individual citizens. As the contributors to this volume show, there
are a number of pressing and thorny philosophical issues relating
to the tax system, and these issues often connect in fascinating
ways with foundational questions regarding property rights, public
justification, democracy, state neutrality, stability, political
psychology, and other moral and political issues. Many of these
deep and fascinating philosophical questions about tax have not
received as much sustained attention as they clearly merit. The aim
of advancing the debate about tax in political philosophy has both
general and more specific aspects, ranging across both over-arching
issues regarding the tax system as a whole and more specific issues
relating to particular forms of tax policy. Thinking clearly about
tax is not an easy task, as much that is of central importance is
missed if one proceeds at too great a level of abstraction, and
issues of conceptual and normative importance often only come
sharply into focus when viewed against real-world questions of
implementation and feasibility. Serious philosophical work on the
tax system will often therefore need to be interdisciplinary, and
so the discussion in this book includes a number of scholars whose
expertise spans across neighbouring disciplines to philosophy,
including political science, economics, public policy, and law.
