Hodder Paperback

*Sports Book Awards Autobiography of the Year**Shortlisted for the William Hill Sports Book of the Year Award**The Sunday Times Sports Book of the Year* *The Times Sports Book of the Year* *Telegraph Football Book of the Year*Readers love The Boy on the Shed'A journey full of emotion . . . Spectacular' ?????'Honest, insightful and shows how football really has to sort itself out' ?????'Paul Ferris writes from the heart, a wonderful book' ?????'Exceptional' ?????'Ferris's wonderful memoir represents a twin triumph. He has endured every kind of setback in life but has invariably reinvented himself; and his writing is a pure pleasure.' The Sunday Times 'Enough depth and humanity to make your average football autobiography look like a Ladybird book.' Telegraph'A masterpiece' Brian McNally 'Football memoirs rarely produce great literature but Ferris's The Boy on the Shed is a glistening exception.' Guardian 'Fascinating and stylishly told.' David Walsh, bestselling author of Seven Deadly Sins __________The Boy on the Shed is a story of love and fate. At 16, Paul Ferris becomes Newcastle United's youngest-ever first-teamer. Like many a tricky winger from Northern Ireland, he is hailed as 'the new George Best'.As a player and later a physio and member of the Magpies' managerial team, Paul's career acquaints him not only with Kevin Keegan, Kenny Dalglish and Bobby Robson, Ruud Gullit, Paul Gascoigne and Alan Shearer but also with injury, insecurity and disappointment.Talented and carefree on the pitch, shy and anxious off it, he earns a tilt at stardom. His first spell at Newcastle turns sour, as does his return as a physio, although obtaining a Masters degree shows him what he could achieve away from football.Written with brutal candour, dark humour and consummate style, The Boy on the Shed is a riveting and moving account of a life less ordinary.__________

Gutten på stranden; historien om Alan Kurdi

Gutten på stranden; historien om Alan Kurdi

Tima Kurdi

2.september 2015 vekkes verden til bildet av den to år gamle gutten Alan Kurdi som ligger med hodet ned i sanden på en strand i Tyrkia. Bildet av den lille, syriske gutten i rød T-skjorte og svarte sko gikk verden rundt, og i løpet av de nærmeste dagene kunne man lese femtitretusen tweets i timen om gutten på stranden. Men Alan lå ikke alene på stranden den morgenen i Bodrum. Også moren Rehanna og den fire år gamle broren, Ghalib, druknet da glassfiberbåten de satt i, gikk rundt. For pappa Abdullah og tante Tima var dette slutten på verden slik de kjente den, for den vestlige verden var det begynnelsen på flyktningkrisen. «Allah hatt alnoor 'ala Alan. Gud har kastet lys over Alan. Dette bildet må få verden til å våkne. Mennesker må slutte å drukne», sier Abdullah Kurdi bare timer etter at familien hans har druknet. Og verden våkner. Gutten på stranden er en vakker fortelling om en barndom i Syria. Fra det sjasminduftende nabolaget i Damaskus før krigen begynte og de krigsherjede gatene i Aleppo, til flyktningleirer i Europa og de frodige forstedene i Vancouver, er Gutten på stranden en families fortelling om kjærlighet og tap og om den iherdige jakten på en trygg havn mens en ødeleggende krig raser. «Timas fortelling tilfører et av de sterkeste fotografiene i vår tid lag på lag av skjønnhet. Denne boken er en gave. Og vi er heldige som får ta den imot.» Rupi Kaur, NYT bestselgende forfatter av Melk og honning og Solen og hennes blomster. 'Fotografiet av lille Alan Kurdis kropp med ansiktet ned i sanden gjorde et uutslettelig inntrykk. Like opprevet og beveget ble jeg da jeg leste denne boken.' Khaled Hosseini, NYT bestselgende forfatter av Drageløperen «Dette er en velskrevet og opprivende politisk memoar - en kvinnes gripende og tydelige minnetale for en nevø som fortjente så mye mer enn å bli kjent som 'gutten på stranden'» -The Washington Post

Listening to the Stones: Essays on Architecture and Function in Ancient Greek Sanctuaries in Honour of Richard Alan Tomlinson

Listening to the Stones: Essays on Architecture and Function in Ancient Greek Sanctuaries in Honour of Richard Alan Tomlinson

Archaeopress

nidottu
Listening to the Stones: Essays on Architecture and Function in Ancient Greek Sanctuaries in Honour of Richard Alan Tomlinson deals with a range of topics that relate to the broad scope of Richard Tomlinson’s archaeological quests and echoes his own methodology in research. Innovative masonry modes, matters of style and orders, proportions and design principles, as well as the inter-regional connections which fostered the transmission of architectural traditions and technical know-how have been cardinal points in Tomlinson’s writings and lectures, as much as the Greek foundations on foreign soil, the forethought in planning, achievements in the field of engineering and the interaction between the secular, the sepulchral and the sacred premises in an ancient city. The conservative or progressive attitudes of a society usually leave an imprint on architectural creations. So, architecture is subject to evolution along with the developing societies. Its gradual changing signifies the building programs taken up by ancient communities. Within this frame, we better comprehend the function of public edifices, the remodeling of cult sites in accordance with historic circumstances, the role of politics in architecture. This book is a token of appreciation for a British professor of archaeology, who spread knowledge of the Greek civilization, manifesting the brilliant spirit of the versatile ancient Greek builders.
