The Ashes: It's All About the Urn - Graeme Swann - Bog - Hodder & Stoughton - Plusbog.dk

The Ashes: It's All About the Urn - Graeme Swann - Bog - Hodder & Stoughton - Plusbog.dk

Shortlisted for Cricket Book of the Year at the British Sports Book Awards Graeme Swann leads us on a compelling adventure through one of world sport''s most engrossing rivalries. He knows as much as anybody about the heat of England v Australia battles, having played in three series wins and also the whitewash defeat of 2013-14 when its intensity ended his international career. However, it brought out some of his best displays in Test cricket. But he is just one of dozens of colourful characters to have added their chapters to this great tome. The mock obituary of English cricket in the Sporting Times of 1882 was the forerunner of summers and winters of heaven and hell, depending on which side of the divide you were situated. When it comes to on-field relations nothing quite compares to the over-my-dead-body feel of the Ashes.From Grace to Sir Don, the most graceful of them all. From the foulest play to the fairest - contrast the 1932-33 Bodyline series affair to the image of Andrew Flintoff hunched over a distraught Brett Lee in 2005. From Ray Illingworth''s famous walk-off in the Seventies, when an England team-mate was assaulted by a spectator, to Steve Waugh''s hugely emotional lap of honour when he retired a quarter of a century later. Swann''s book will reveal the magic of a series that first gripped him in his front room in Northampton as an aspiring spin bowler in the mid-1980s.

Lady Catherine and the Real Downton Abbey - The Countess Of Carnarvon - Bog - Hodder & Stoughton - Plusbog.dk

Lady Catherine and the Real Downton Abbey - The Countess Of Carnarvon - Bog - Hodder & Stoughton - Plusbog.dk

**Explore the fascinating history of the real Downton Abbey as the Crawley family saga makes its way on to the big screen with Downton Abbey , the major motion picture** ''An excellent depiction of English aristocratic life ... a compelling portrait'' Publisher''s Weekly * * * * * * The follow-up to the international bestseller Lady Almina and the Real Downton Abbey , this book moves the story into the 1920s, and focuses on the remarkable American heiress who came to reign at Highclere Castle. Sometimes the facts are even more extraordinary than the fiction ... This book tells the story of Lady Catherine, a beautiful American girl who became the chatelaine of Highclere Castle, the setting for Julian Fellowes'' award-winning drama Downton Abbey . Charming and charismatic, Catherine caught the eye of Lord Porchester (or ''Porchey'', as he was known) when she was just 20 years old, and wearing a pale yellow dress at a ball. She had already turned down 14 proposals before she eventually married Porchey in 1922. But less than a year later Porchey''s father died suddenly, and he became the 6th Earl of Carnarvon, inheriting a title and a Castle that changed both their lives forever. Catherine found herself suddenly in charge of a small army of household staff, and hosting lavish banquets and weekend house parties. Although the couple were very much in love, considerable challenges lay ahead for Catherine. They were immediately faced with the task of saving Highclere when debts threatened to destroy the estate. As the 1920s moved to a close, Catherine''s adored brother died and she began to lose her husband to the distractions London had to offer. When the Second World War broke out, life at the Castle would never be the same again. Drawing on rich material from the private archives at Highclere, including beautiful period photographs, the current Countess of Carnarvon transports us back to the thrilling and alluring world of the ''real Downton Abbey'' and its inhabitants.

The Bletchley Girls - Tessa Dunlop - Bog - Hodder & Stoughton - Plusbog.dk

The Bletchley Girls - Tessa Dunlop - Bog - Hodder & Stoughton - Plusbog.dk

''Lively . . . in giving us the daily details of their lives in the women''s own voices Dunlop does them and us a fine service'' New Statesman ''Dunlop is engaging in her personal approach. Her obvious feminine empathy with the venerable ladies she spoke to gives her book an immediacy and intimacy.'' Daily Mail ''An in-depth picture of life in Britain''s wartime intelligence centre . . . The result is fascinating, and is made all the more touching by the developing friendships between Dunlop and her interviewees.'' Financial Times The Bletchley Girls weaves together the lives of fifteen women who were all selected to work in Britain''s most secret organisation - Bletchley Park. It is their story, told in their voices; Tessa met and talked to 15 veterans, often visiting them several times. Firm friendships were made as their epic journey unfolded on paper.The scale of female involvement in Britain during the Second World War wasn''t matched in any other country. From 8 million working women just over 7000 were hand-picked to work at Bletchley Park and its outstations. There had always been girls at the Park but soon they outnumbered the men three to one.A refugee from Belgium, a Scottish debutante, a Jewish 14-year-old, and a factory worker from Northamptonshire - the Bletchley Girls confound stereotypes. But they all have one common bond, the war and their highly confidential part in it. In the middle of the night, hunched over meaningless pieces of paper, tending mind-blowing machines, sitting listening for hours on end, theirs was invariably confusing, monotonous and meticulous work, about which they could not breathe a word.By meeting and talking to these fascinating female secret-keepers who are still alive today, Tessa Dunlop captures their extraordinary journeys into an adult world of war, secrecy, love and loss. Through the voices of the women themselves, this is a portrait of life at Bletchley Park beyond the celebrated code-breakers, it''s the story of the girls behind Britain''s ability to consistently out-smart the enemy, and an insight into the women they have become.

''Beautifully written, Hidden Lessons is both a heart-rending account of the challenges in our education system, and a heart-warming celebration of teachers and students who have triumphed through adversity. The pride Mehreen has for her community and the lives she has touched is palpable.'' - DAVID LAMMY~~~~~~~~~~~~You''re in at 7am, there until 7pm and marking into the late hours.

It''s also a world where you spend all day with some of the most interesting people you know. And even when the lesson plan has been abandoned, you''re still learning.Mehreen started teaching at 21, and by the time she left 10 years later she''d learnt a bit about teenagers and a lot about life. This is her story.Baig''s book reminds us that teachers are not just at the frontline of education, but they are also at the frontline of social mobility and racial justice.
