Playing Hard Ball - E.t. Smith - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

Playing Hard Ball - E.t. Smith - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

PLAYING HARD BALL is a unique sports book, a cultural comparison of two national games - cricket, English in origin and American baseball - written from the viewpoint of a top-class practitioner of both codes. Ed Smith - the young Cambridge University and Kent batsman - has spent the winters since 1998 in Spring Training with the New York Mets baseball team. It has enabled Ed to contrast and compare arguably the two most iconic of sports from the inside. In fact, baseball had a thriving following in Britain until the Great War: Derby County''s former stadium was called the Baseball Ground; Tottenham Hotspur was at first a baseball club. Apart from learning two very different techniques, Ed learned that the sports'' ultimate heroes, the Babe and the Don - Babe Ruth and Don Bradman - might as well have come from different planets, whilst baseball''s pristine Hall of Fame in Cooperstown is a far cry from the ramshackle cricket museum at Lord''s. Ed Smith''s PLAYING HARD BALL draws on these intriguing comparisons to paint a two-sided portrait of sports most illustrous ''hitting games''.

After the Armistice Ball - Catriona Mcpherson - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

After the Armistice Ball - Catriona Mcpherson - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

A classic murder-mystery set among the struggling upper classes of 1920s Perthshire as, in the aftermath of the First World War, their comfortable world begins to crumble. Dandy Gilver, her husband back from the War, her children off at school and her uniform growing musty in the attic, is bored to a whimper in the spring of 1923 and a little light snooping seems like harmless fun. Before long, though, the puzzle of what really happened to the Duffy diamonds after the Armistice Ball has been swept aside by a sudden, unexpected death in a lonely seaside cottage in Galloway. Society and the law seem ready to call it an accident but Dandy, along with Cara Duffy''s fiancé Alec, is sure that there is more going on than meets the eye. What is being hidden by members of the Duffy family: the watchful Lena, the cold and distant Clemence and old Gregory Duffy with his air of quiet sadness, not to mention Cara herself whose secret always seems just tantalizingly out of view? Dandy must learn to trust her instincts and swallow most of her scruples if he is to uncover the truth and earn the right to call herself a sleuth.

Can I Have My Ball Back? - Richard Herring - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

Can I Have My Ball Back? - Richard Herring - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

''Very funny, moving and heartwarming'' BOB MORTIMER ''A bollockbuster!'' ADAM BUXTON If we are cowardly, we are told to grow someIf we''re brave, we''re said to have huge onesIf it''s cold, they are liable to fall off - even if you''re a brass monkeyIf we''re in trouble, someone will threaten to break themIf we have to work hard, we might very well bust themIf we''re in somebody''s thrall, then they''ve got us by them About fifteen years ago, stand-up comedian and writer Richard Herring first took part in a campaign to encourage men to have a little (non-sexual) feel of their balls every now and again. But it was embarrassing and weird, and if there was something wrong, he didn''t want to know about it. Anyway, that kind of stuff only happens to other people, doesn''t it? At the start of 2021 Richard was diagnosed with testicular cancer. For a man whose output includes a stand-up tour titled Talking Cock and who regularly interrogates our attitudes towards masculinity, it was a diagnosis that came with additional layers of complexity.Telling Rich''s personal story alongside an exploration of what defines masculinity and ''maleness'' in society, Can I Have My Ball Back? is not your typical cancer memoir. Whether they''re nuts, bollocks, gonads or family jewels; from the phrase ''grow some balls'' to infamous WWII songs about Hitler; Rich unpicks the tangle of emotions around his own testing times.

The people and businesses of London are quickly recovering from the ravages of the plague, none faster than the Court of Charles II where excess, corruption and debauchery has rebounded at a frenetic pace. In Westminster, in the haphazard corridors of White Hall Palace, plans are afoot for a grandiose ball in honour of a long-dead but English-born Pope. Meanwhile, the markets and coffee houses in the city are awash with rumours of war and portents of a coming disaster, inflamed by uncensored newssheets and the wagging tongues of dissatisfied citizens.Mysterious killings at both ends of the capital have been caused by the use of an unusually long, slender blade, and Thomas Chaloner is ordered to investigate. The only common thread is the victims'' connection to the Worshipful Company of Poulters, whose members are struggling to keep ahead of London''s enormous demand for eggs. But this leads him into a tapestry of conspiracy, outlandish claims of the Second Coming, the reappearance of a number of regicides and ever more brazen killings.As the date of the great ball looms closer, Chaloner fears that there is a dangerously credible conspiracy against the throne, and he has very little time to prevent history from repeating itself . . .

Little Weirds - Jenny Slate - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

''Magical'' MINDY KALING ''Funny and poignant and beautiful'' JOHN MULANEY ''It made me remember I was alive'' GEORGE SAUNDERS To see the world through Jenny Slate''s eyes is to see it as though for the first time, shimmering with strangeness and possibility. As she will remind you, we live on an ancient ball that rotates around a bigger ball made up of lights and gases that are science gases, not farts (don''t be immature). Heartbreak, confusion and misogyny stalk this blue-green sphere, yes, but it is also a place of wild delight and unconstrained vitality, a place where we can start living as soon as we are born, and we can be born at any time. In her dazzling, impossible-to-categorize debut, Jenny channels the pain and beauty of life in writing so fresh, so new and so burstingly alive, we catch her vision like a fever and bring it back out into the bright day with us, and everything has changed.

Hitting Against the Spin - Nathan Leamon - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

Hitting Against the Spin - Nathan Leamon - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

''Fascinating and insightful . . . lifts the curtain to reveal the inner workings of international cricket. A must-read for any cricketer, coach or fan'' Eoin Morgan ''This path-breaking book should be compulsory reading for commentators and captains - and all cricket fans'' Mervyn King ''Clever and original but also wise'' Ed Smith How valuable is winning the toss? And how should captains use it to their advantage? Why does a cricket ball swing? Why don''t Indians bat left-handed? What is a good length and why? Why are leg-spinners so successful in T20 cricket? Why did England win the World Cup? Why do all Test bowlers bowl at either 55 or 85mph? Why don''t they pitch it up? All cricketers long to know the answer to these questions and many more. Only fifteen years ago it would have been difficult to answer them - cricket was guided only by decades-old tradition and received wisdom. Data has changed everything. Today we can track every ball to within millimetres; its release point, speed and bounce point are measured as are how much the ball swings, how much it deviates off the pitch, the exact height and line that it passes the stumps, and multiple other variables. Hitting Against the Spin is the story of that data, and what it can tell us about how cricket really works. Leading cricket thinkers Nathan Leamon and Ben Jones lift the lid on international cricket and explain its hidden workings and dynamics - the forces that shape cricket and, in turn, the cricketers who play it. They analyse the unseen hands that determine which players succeed and which fail, which tactics work and which don''t, which teams win and which lose. They also explore the new world of franchise cricket as well as the rapid evolution of the T20 format. Revolutionary in its insights, Hitting Against the Spin takes you on a fascinating whistle-stop tour of modern cricket and sports analytics, bringing cricket firmly into the twenty-first century by revealing its long-kept secrets. This is the most important cricket book in decades.
