There are many football books about the great goal-scorers and the entertainers of the game. There are even some biographies of great defenders. Yet there has not been a book on defending as an art that also explains how a number of great defenders over time have either individually changed the game of football or did so as key elements of important teams.The book starts by highlighting the key principles of defending, not only for defenders, but for midfielders and forwards. It moves on to show how, over the past 50 years, 25 great defenders have made significant contributions to changing the game of football. primarily in World Cups and Champions League finals. HOLDING THE LINE highlights how these players – through their style of play and roles within their teams –helped their teams to become successful. By defining the rtoles of these players within their respective coaching systems, the book explains how football has evolved over the last 50 years to its present state of play.

The Northern Line - Judy Simons - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The Northern Line - Judy Simons - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Judy Simons thought to leave her grandchildren a legacy of reminiscences about her Jewish upbringing in 1950s Sheffield. But when her mother died shortly before her hundredth birthday, Judy discovered a treasure chest of papers hidden at the back of the wardrobe. Reading them, she realised she had unearthed a gripping family saga. It transformed her mission and left her wanting to know more. The resulting research took her into immigrant ships from the Pale of Settlement, Manchester sweatshops, Victorian lunatic asylums, and the horrors of the concentration camps. This was the unseen backdrop to her suburban childhood. The Northern Line throws fresh light on a forgotten part of Sheffield history, the early days of its Jewish community and its role as a sanctuary for refugees fleeing from the pogroms in the 1880s and from Nazi persecution in the 1930s. It evokes the gas-lamps of Paradise Square and the Hebrew classes where lads lay in wait each evening to throw stones at “the Jewboys”. Writing about the past is like trying to do a jigsaw when half the pieces are missing. This book explores the challenge of how we can fill in the gaps. Drawing on diaries, letters, photographs and family heirlooms, it forms a conversation between generations that exposes poverty, injustice, fear, courage and triumph. It blends memory and social history to create a compelling narrative that recaptures the voices of the dead. What started out as a memoir becomes a powerful piece of storytelling about difference and survival.

The Great Lieder Cycles In English Singing Translations - Jeffrey Benton - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The Great Lieder Cycles In English Singing Translations - Jeffrey Benton - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Here, for the first time, a singer has created a true, line by line, translation of all the song cycles of Schubert and Schumann, along with Beethoven’s An Die Ferne Geliebte (To The Distant Beloved), Mahler’s Lieder Eines Fahrenden Gesellen (Songs Of A Wayfarer) and the rare Eliland By Alexander Von Fielitz. “With the needs of the singer, and also the listener, in mind I have by each line a faithful, rhyming translation of the original poems. It became clear to me at the start of my concert career, at my very first recital at London’s Wigmore Hall, that the greater part of the audience were hearing only piano and voice, and that the wonderful poetry which was the inspiration of the composer, was lost to the listener. My ambition was to translate and make recordings of all the great song cycles so that the whole world can enjoy the wonderful poetry set to music.” - Jeffrey Benton

Elysium - Geoff Woodhouse - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Set on a cruise ship on her maiden voyage across the Pacific, we meet a drop-dead gorgeous Mexican stylist, a discreet private investigator, a Hong Kong-Chinese real-estate agent with a passion for strip-poker, a soul singer from Brixton, and an aspiring Parisian artist. Together they are the elite A-deck residents, all of them are successful, all of them have suffered. In accordance with tradition, on the day they cross the equator for the first time, they are appointed to the Court of Neptune to carry out a line-crossing ceremony. Intoxicated by the power bestowed upon them, they exploit their position to rule over the lower deck residents and the lowest-of-the-low passage guests. As the voyage continues, cabin-fever sets in, and, inspired by the line-crossing ceremony, the A-deck residents invent a game of poker in which the winner gets to be King for a day, daring the loser bully and humiliate the lower deck residents and the passage guests. The artificial society of the Elysium, exacerbated by the line-crossing ceremonies, and amplified by cabin fever, had created a class structure with the A-deck residents as Untouchables and the passage guests as the Underclass. Have the Untouchables lost their moral compass and were they out to get the Underclass as retribution for their suffering Before Elysium ?

A New Approach to Forecasting - John O’reilly - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

A New Approach to Forecasting - John O’reilly - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The greatest original work on forecasting ever published. By a master of the post-Kalman era. Professor O''Reilly brings a lifetime’s engineering experience, and not a little scholarship, to an enduring problem. The result: a completely new theory of filtering and prediction for causal dynamical system models subject to significant disturbance uncertainty. Any causal dynamical system model can be used. No a priori knowledge of the model uncertainties is required. Estimation of uncertain dynamical systems, it turns out, is a modelling problem. With necessary model validation. The criterion for high-fidelity signal reconstruction is how closely the signal estimates resemble the measured output data of the actual dynamical system. In contradistinction to the Kalman off-line nominal design approach, the causal estimation approach is an on-line model tuning approach. This physical approach places estimation of dynamical systems on an experimental footing, akin to classical physics and engineering. And closer to present day industrial practice. Both causal and Kalman approaches are evaluated within twentieth century filtering and prediction theory. The new estimator is completely general, non-statistical, and very easy to use.

They came from Burgundy - Keith Janes - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

They came from Burgundy - Keith Janes - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The first book to recount the stories of every single Allied serviceman (including more than a hundred and fifty American aircrew) helped by one of the major escape lines of World War Two, complete with details of their helpers. Escape lines – which should more properly be called evasion lines – can be described as organisations that helped stranded servicemen make their way from enemy occupied territories back to friendly territory. Of the three major escape lines running through France during the Second World War – the Pat O’Leary line, which covered most of the country, the Comete line, which ran from Holland and Belgium through France to the Pyrenees, and Bourgogne – Bourgogne (aka Burgundy) is the least well known. Escape lines are a largely unrecognised, or at least often overlooked, episode of the Second World War. For those who were involved – the helpers (mostly French, Belgian and Dutch civilians) – or who benefitted from them (mostly British, Commonwealth and American servicemen) this was a personal war, which was, and remains, almost unknown to the outside world, despite the tragic loss of so many of those concerned. To the families of the servicemen saved, it must have seemed like a miracle to have their loved ones returned safely to them. For the helpers and their families who were caught, it often meant death. This comprehensive study is based around contemporary reports and documentation, as well as extensive personal research by the author and others. It describes the evasions of the more than three hundred Allied servicemen helped by the Burgundy line, together with details and the eventual fates of many hundreds of their helpers. They came from Burgundy will appeal to those interested in history, specifically Second World War escape and evasion.

This provides the starting point for this novel, set in the ever-changing world of the late Victorian era, when ruthless shipping magnates sought to make their fortune at any price. Was part of this cost the murder of George and Joyce Hope in the Argentine, and the death of their son, 14-year-old Fontaine Hope, on a deserted railway line on the Thames marshes a decade later? To find the perpetrator and bring them to justice, Fontaine’s grandfather – Edward Hope – calls on the private detective William Reeves. From the inns of the City of London to the marshlands of Essex and beyond, Reeves travels to hunt down the likely culprit – Alfonso Romero, an Argentinian whose roots lay with the gaucho bandits of his home country.

Wealthy ex-businesswoman, Katherine Crawford, has lived alone for 30 years following the death of her young daughter, Amy.

As her final years unfold, the lives of others intertwine and come together in surprising ways, both by design and by chance.

It is an awe-inspiring place where connection to the natural world and a sense of transcendental possibilities feel very powerful.
