Passion for the Park
Passion for the Park
Wade, Stephen
¥68.57
Passion for the Park is a celebration of the ordinary lover of the beautiful game, the dedicated lads who turn out week after week in the hope of beating another works or pub team. In Park Football the kit is never washed, there is no spare ball, studs are never inspected, there are holes in the goal-netting, the referee is always looking the wrong way, and the only spectators are an old man and his dog. This funny and irreverent memoir charts the author's own undistinguished football career, playing for two Sunday League teams and idolising Don Revie's Leeds United, and his attempts to inspire steelworks apprentices with a love for English literature.

HMS Ganges Days
HMS Ganges Days
Broadbent, Peter
¥68.57
When Peter Broadbent entered HMS Ganges, the toughest training establishment for young recruits to the Royal Navy, he was a naive 15-year-old Yorkshire schoolboy, entranced with the idea of seeing the world, proud of his drainpipe trousers and DA hairstyle, and eager to meet girls. In other words, he was a 'Nozzer' - a raw and unsuspecting recruit. When he emerged 386 days later it was as a prospective 'Dabtoe', not quite a fully trained Seaman, but well on the way. This funny and vivid memoir accurately captures what it was like to climb the mast, have your kit trashed, learn to swear, develop a taste for Kye and Stickies, double around the parade-ground at dead of night in your pyjamas, endlessly run up and down Laundry Hill ... and to do it all and much more while being continually barracked by a demanding Petty Officer Instructor. Along the way, Peter relished learning the Navy lingo and how to sail. He consumed platefuls of Cheese Ush, won a boxing certificate, discovered a secret stash of Playboy magazines, smoked thousands of cigarettes, and convinced girls back home that his shorn hair was in fact the very latest fashion 'down south'.
Growing up in Lee-on-the-Solent
Growing up in Lee-on-the-Solent
Green, John W
¥58.76
John Green's family moved to Lee-on-the-Solent just in time for the outbreak of war in 1939. For a seven-year-old, war sounded like an exciting adventure, but as he sheltered with his mother and sister under the stairs during an air-raid, someone said they thought they heard machine-gun fire. They all held their breath and listened, but the noise turned out to be the rhythmic rat-a-tat of his mother's trembling knee knocking against the panelling. In this delightful memoir, John W Green describes what it was like to grow up in a 'village of two halves', with the western end inhabited by well-to-do families, and the eastern end by the people who served them. It was commonly thought that the shopkeepers reserved the better-quality groceries and nicer cuts of meat for the west-enders and for the officers' hoity-toity wives.He vividly describes how he became a rebellious child, going bird-nesting, running wild in Court Barn, scrumping apples, collecting ammunition, scavenging on the Ranges, and 'borrowing' a boat to row on the Alver. As he grew up, his hang-outs changed and he met his friends 'up the Tower', at the Bluebird Cafe or in the amusement arcade. Despite his reputation for being a rebel, John followed in his father's footsteps by joining the RAF before becoming a 'Marconi man' in the merchant navy, sailing to every corner of the world.
800 Days in Doha
800 Days in Doha
Gordon, Penelope
¥58.76
When Penelope Gordon was headhunted to go and work in Doha, Qatar, her sole experience of the Middle East had been a brief luxury break in Dubai. Her husband Lionel, a much-travelled naval officer, was more blase about the move, but neither was quite prepared for the experience that followed.Penelope left her NHS job at Queen Alexandra Hospital in Portsmouth to head up medical leadership and education in a state-of-the-art set of hospitals in Qatar - a country, she discovered, where there were no maps, where everyone drove their cars rather like they'd drive camels (fast and wildly), where many of her female staff were completely swathed in black with only their eyes visible, and where no-one expected to have to do something when there was a servant to do it for them, even if it was only pressing the 'start' button on the coffee machine.In this captivating and amusing memoir, Penelope shows how she managed to find the humour in dealing with a culture that was often baffling and opaque - and how she not only survived 800 days in Doha, but turned it into an adventure.

They gathered their wits, made a plan, and persevered. And look where it got them!? Not everyone becomes a billionaire, obviously, but it *is* achievable. Many of the people in this book did it.

More Misused Words: No Mistakes Grammar, Volume III
Giacomo Giammatteo
¥40.79
More Misused Words contains a lot of the same words that Misused Words I and II did, but so much more. In More Misused Words, we address even more redundancies, absolutes, capitals, eponyms, flat adverbs (everybody’s favorite), initialisms and acronyms, Latin abbreviations, mispronunciations, a couple of sticklers like lie/lay/laid/lain, and poisonous/venomous, plurals of compound words (is it mothers-in-law or mother-in-laws? Isn’t one sufficient?), time-consuming phrases, and punctuation. We’ll have fun tackling these words (they’re not that big), and we’ll address more than just words—we’ll hit on eponyms, odd punctuation, and even a few Latin expressions, such as e.g., ergo, etc., and i.e. (Did I just say ‘ergo’? If I do that again, smack me.) I know you think you are familiar with these, but despite their ubiquitousness (Smack me for that also.), there might be a few odd rules that pertain to using Latin expressions that you’re not familiar with. It’s worthwhile to learn them (especially if you intend to write).?

Prefa?? de Andrei Vochin Pe mul?i dintre ei i-a comentat pe viu! Pe al?ii i-a v?zut juc?nd, iar despre ceilal?i a aflat citindu-i pe marii cronicari ai acelor vremuri... Avand ?n spate o experien?? de peste 2000 de meciuri comentate la cel mai ?nalt nivel, Bogdan Socol a ?ncercat s? prezinte, a?a cum a fost, via?a ?i cariera a "100 de fotbali?ti legendari". Dupa o munc? minu?ioas?, mig?loas?, dar ?i foarte frumoas?, comentatorul Digi Sport a reu?it s? adune ?n 400 de pagini 100 de pove?ti speciale ale unor oameni care au marcat nu doar istoria fotbalului, dar ?i a omenirii prin impactul lor. ?n "100 de fotbali?ti legendari", ve?i afla cum un meci de fotbal i-a salvat via?a unui viitor campion mondial, cum cel mai mare atacant italian al tuturor timpurilor se motiva cel mai bine ?naintea meciurilor petrec?nd o noapte ?ntreag? lang? ni?te doamne de companie sau care a fost primul juc?tor care a f?cut o schimbare, f?r? ca antrenorul s? mai aib? vreun cuv?nt de spus. Pe parcursul lecturii acestei c?r?i, ve?i ajunge, prin intermediul celor 100 de eroi, din epoca interbelic? p?n? ?n zilele noastre, trec?nd ?i prin dramele din preajma celui de-al Doilea R?zboi Mondial, prin comunismul care a obstruc?ionat at?tea cariere m?re?e, prin dictaturile militare din America Latin? ?i prin toat? perioada de incertitudini a R?zboiului Rece. Fotbalul a ?nvins toate problemele, ?ns?, ?i a mers mai departe cu pove?tile sale. "100 de fotbali?ti legendari" ?i cinste?te a?a cum se cuvine ?i pe cei mai mari juc?tori rom?ni care ne-au marcat existen?a, Nicolae Dobrin, Ilie Balaci, Gic? Hagi, Gic? Popescu ?i Miodrag Belodedici. Bogdan Socol a ?capturat” ?ntre coper?ile noii sale lucr?ri 100 de fotbali?ti legendari din istoria acestui sport. Nu m? pot aventura s? spun c? ei sunt cei mai mari, pentru c? ?n orice astfel de anchet? nici un argument nu este mai puternic dec?t altul. Poate a mai sc?pat unul, poate c? noi, cei mai vechi, i-am prins ?i pe al?ii juc?nd ?i i-am v?zut pe viu, motiv pentru care am putea spune c? au fost mai buni ca al?ii care au prins un loc ?n volumul de fa??. De fapt, nici nu mai conteaz?. Ceea ce va r?m?ne atunci c?nd ve?i termina de citit ?i ultima poveste din acest volum va fi sentimentul acela de prea plin de informa?ie, de pl?cut? sa?ietate, pe care orice consumator de sport o dore?te. Cu at?t mai mult unul care e ?i el prizonier pe via?? ?n aceast? minunat? ?nchisoare a pasiunii numit? fotbal. (Andrei Vochin)

M aplec critic spre o literatur nc insuficient cunoscut, marcat n ultimele decenii i de obsesia sau complexul Premiului Nobel. Atitudinea noastr comun fibrileaz excesiv de relativizant sau absolutizant, ncercnd s devin acionar i s provoace reaciuni ntr-un domeniu artistic universal, cu suport multilingvistic. Rmn la convingerea c exemplaritatea este efectul stranietii privit ca insolit familiaritate. Testez, cum am mai spus, fondul autohton i forma universal, n epic romneasc din secolul XX, evideniind experimentului substanial, n msura n care se integreaz n – i face sau ncearc diferena de – epic occidental.
