* AN FT BEST SUMMER BOOK 2025 / A LoveReading Best Book of the Year 2025 / Longlisted for the Anglo-Hellenic Runciman AwardQuite magical... A book that will refresh your soul. Carol Drinkwater, author of The Olive FarmThe true story of a courageous leap into a new life.___ In the summer of 2000, Julian Hoffman and his wife Julia found themselves disillusioned with city life. Overwhelmed by long commutes, they stumbled upon a book about Prespa, Greece a remote corner of Europe filled with stone villages, snow-capped mountains and wildlife, which they would soon call home. Prespa is a crossroads. Where three countries come together around two huge lakes, where limestone collides with granite and heat-pulsing Mediterranean ecosystems meet their colder, Balkan relatives. Here, languages, wartime histories and rivers converge, and pelicans, bears and people leave their footprints on the waters edge next to unexploded bombs. Lifelines is not only the tale of a courageous leap into a new life, but of seasons punctuated by unforgettable encounters, from a stare-down with a bear surrounded by spring wildflowers to a deep-winter meeting with fourteen wrens sheltering above a frozen doorway. And into this place encircled by mountains, Julian seamlessly weaves an intricate web of stories of conflict and possibility; of refuge lost and found; of the wild lifelines that connect us all as we move through the world seeking a home.___ Knockout beautiful... a lifeline in itself. Keggie Carew, author of DadlandIve been wondering for several years whether it was now possible for anyone writing in English to write a great book about living in Greece. Well, here it is. John Kittmer, former British Ambassador to GreeceA reflective, encouraging and exquisitely written memoir full of astute observations. Henry Bird, The TimesSet against the spectacular mountains and lakes of northern Greece, this remarkable book describes Julian and Julias odyssey as they meet others on similar quests to find home, be they bears, pelicans or humans. Utterly relevant to our times. Lee Durrell, MBE

A fascinating behind-the-scenes account of the punk rock world, a career in show business and a lifetime spent on stage, written by legendary musician and one-time Sex Pistol and Henry VIII descendant Edward Tudor Pole.Whether housesharing with Philip Pullman, trading one-liners at RADA with Ralph Richardson, shooting the breeze with Clint Eastwood, partying with Jerry Hall, acting in Edwardian comedy with Rex Harrison or dodging fights with Sid Vicious, Edward Tudor Pole has proved himself equal to many a challenge. In a series of amusing, nostalgic and sometimes outrageous stories, told with candour and wit, Tudor Pole recounts his fascinating youth pre-punk and during the time of Vicious and The Clash before fronting 80s band Tenpole Tudor. After the horrific implosion of the group, Tudor Pole was enticed into the acting world, appearing in numerous films and plays including Sid & Nancy, Absolute Beginners, a long term association with cult film director Alex Cox, cameo appearances in Harry Potter and Game of Thrones and a stint presenting The Crystal Maze.The Pen is Mightier tells of how a troubled start can lead to a happy ending. Tudor Pole writes a fast-paced account of a life spent exploring every avenue of show business before finding out where you belong, taking the reader through his eclectic career as a punk rock band leader, hit songwriter, top 10 pop star, movie actor, TV presenter, West-End leading man and long-term touring musician.If I had to be abandoned on a desert island with an actor, I can think of no better co-castaway than Ed. His book is tremendous - particularly when he writes about the early days of punk. He was there, man! He lived it, and his storytelling is vivid and exciting - Alex Cox

A Copa do Mundo voltava a Europa depois de 16 anos, de forma que os europeus ainda traziam muitos traumas da guerra, como as naçes perdedoras dos conflitos, como Alemanha e Hungria, que foram punidas com o afastamento da disputa da Copa do Mundo de 1950, mas que em seguida foram imediatamente reintegradas aos quadros da FIFA. O que se observou e que essas naçes afastadas no ficaram inertes, especialmente a Hungria, que teve um conceito exemplar e secreto de preparaço que envolvia um inovador sistema tatico e tecnico, produzindo estrelas como Ferenc Puskas, na conquista do ouro olimpico nos Jogos Olimpicos de 1952, em Helsinque, e chegava ao Mundial invicta ha nada menos do que quatro anos. Os alemes penaram, começou se fortalecendo durante a guerra agregando os melhores jogadores dos paises que Hitler anexava a Alemanha, o que, na pratica, no funcionou como previsto, a Alemanha no vencia e o proprio Hitler proibiu a Seleço Alem de jogar nas principais cidades do pais para no manchar a propaganda nazista. Apos a guerra, os jogadores voltaram aos seus respectivos paises, ento libertados; enfraquecidos, os alemes se reinventaram, apostando no primoroso condicionamento fisico e estrategico, uma desprezivel candidata ao titulo. A ascendente Hungria, mesmo entre seus jogadores, considerava a conquista da Copa do Mundo de 1954 uma mera formalidade. Finalistas do Mundial de 1950, Brasil e Uruguai tiveram um choque de realidade, o melhor futebol no estava na America do Sul.

We hadnt a clue till we got the telly and then we wanted to be like dallas. We were never happy, that we knew of. We were always longing for something else, so we kept doing the same.Standing in Gaps turns back time and transports the reader to a place where everything moved slowly and in the Leitrim of the 60s, 70s and 80s, that means really slowly.In this memoir about rural Ireland, family, people and time, award-winning playwright Seamus ORourke finds diamond tipped needles in bales of really bad hay, turning the mundane into magic and providing much hilarity and mayhem for his many fans along the way.

Fifty years after the Guildford bombings, the case remains profoundly relevant today. This new edition is completely updated and revised with startling new material. The Guildford Four endured 15 years behind bars for a crime they did not commit. The only evidence against them was their confessions extracted through intimidation and violence. Three Surrey police officers were acquitted of wrongdoing in 1993, but as this new edition reveals, there is testimony, never published, that corroborates evidence of far wider police malpractice. Time Bomb was central to the reopening of the case of the Guildford Four when it was published in 1988 exposing this egregious miscarriage of justice, and telling the chilling parallel story of the men actually responsible for the bombings, the London Active Service Unit, whose 1974-75 IRA campaign terrorised Britain. Profoundly relevant today, as Michael Mansfield identifies in his introduction, the case of the Guildford Four is essentially the prototype of the corruption and concealment scandals which have beset the UK, from the Stephen Lawrence case through to the Post Office scandal, and asks how we can galvanise reform. Every twist and turn needs to be lived by the reader page after page of compelling and mesmerising fact. As you proceed, the magnitude of these events strikes a sense of burning injustice.

A serious reinvestigation full of revealing background information that sheds additional light on what was then and now remains a shocking crime Paul French, author of Midnight in PekingThis riveting, eye-opening investigation of a 70-year-old murder mystery reads like a whodunit ... A true crime must-read Dean Jobb, author of The Case of the Murderous Dr. CreamAs much social history as it is gripping true crime Jeremy Craddock, author of The Jigsaw MurdersA meticulously researched re-examination Caitlin Davies, author of Private Inquiries: The Secret History of Female Sleuths1950s France. A British establishment figure. A shocking crime. A miscarriage of justice. The search for truth. In 1952, in a peaceful corner of Provence, a farmers son stumbled upon a terrible scene. Three bodies: a husband and wife shot dead, their ten-year-old daughter savagely beaten to death. They were all British. So begins one of the most notorious murder cases in French history.Sir Jack Drummond was a senior advisor to the British government, a household name who was respected and admired. His fame made the case a cause celebre in France and resulted in the swift conviction of a local farmer, but questions about Drummonds life and death remain unanswered.In this bold new investigation, Stephanie Matthews and Daniel Smith strip away the prejudice and propaganda to reveal a grave miscarriage of justice. A light is shone on Drummonds secret life in the shadows of the Cold War, painting a portrait of an enigmatic man who may not have been the innocent holidaymaker he appeared to be, and recasting one of the twentieth centurys most notorious murders in a fascinating and important new light.

A consolidated eBook of Volume one and Volume two of The Longest Boundary by John Dunbabin.These volumes are firmly based on primary sources but written in a way that should appeal to the general reader as much as to specialised historians. Its chief actors are politicians and administrators, but there is a range of others, extending from First Nations chiefs to goldminers, railway entrepreneurs, prophets, and policemen. In the concluding chapter the books general historical approach is supplemented by assessment of the main perspectives of international relations theory. Finally, attention is drawn to small anomalies created by the boundary line.

How will Ireland redress its legacy of institutional abuse? What constitutes justice? What is Transitional Justice? How might democracy evolve if survivors experiences and expertise were allowed to lead the response to a century of gender- and family separation-based abuses? REDRESS: Irelands Institutions and Transitional Justice seeks the answers. This collection explores the ways in which Ireland North and South treats those who suffered in Magdalene Laundries, Mother and Baby Homes, County Homes, industrial and reformatory schools, and in a closed and secretive adoption system, over the last 100 years. The essays focus on the structures which perpetuated widespread and systematic abuses in the past and consider how political arrangements continue to exert power over survivors, adopted people and generations of relatives, as well as controlling the remains and memorialisation of the dead. As we mark the centenary of both jurisdictions on the island of Ireland, REDRESS: Irelands Institutions and Transitional Justice forensically examines the two states so-called redress schemes and investigations, and the statements of apology that accompanied them. With diverse and interdisciplinary perspectives, this collection considers how a Transitional Justice-based, survivor-centred, approach might assist those personally affected, policy makers, the public, and academics to evaluate the complex ways in which both the Republic and Northern Ireland (and other states in a comparative context) have responded to their histories of institutionalisation and family separation. Importantly, the essays collected in REDRESS: Irelands Institutions and Transitional Justice seek to offer avenues by which to redress this legacy of continuing harms.The Editors are donating all royalties in the name of survivors and all those affected by Irelands carceral institutions and family separation to the charity Empowering People in Care (EPIC).

LESSONS ON LEADERSHIP AND POWER TO WIN THE SECOND HALF OF THE GAME.One never knows when you are going to find your true vocation, but if there is one thing I have learned, it is to not accept things as they are presented to us and to always be open. This is like love; it is a vibration you only feel in your heart. We should never resign ourselves to living without love or not finding our vocation. They are out there, waiting for us. It is about finding them. They are our what for.This book is about the mysterious road toward happiness. It is about my personal journey and what I have learned along the way. It is the what for behind so many things accomplished and lived, and the many yet to be conquered. Why be the president of a soccer club, why change a city, and, above all, why change a country. This is dedicated to those who worked with me during each stage and those who are now setting off on their own journeys, wherever these might take them. For all of you, here is my experience."MAURICIO MACRI

23 years ago, I left my homeland, searching for love and a future. The path led me to a foreign world, where I had to learn not only one of the most complex languages, German, but also understand foreign cultures, seasons, ways of communication, and mentalities. This journey changed my life. Then came the diagnosis: Stage 4A lung cancer - relentless and aggressive. The doctors gave me just six months. But I knew that nothing is impossible if you keep faith and positivity. I have now been living with my friend cancer for nearly six years. This book is not just my story of survival; its a testament to the strength and unshakeable belief in the goodness in every trial. Life is a choice. You are not alone. Believe in yourself, and be certain that there is good in every challenge. With this book, you accompany me on my personal journey of faith, love, struggle, and hope. Perhaps it will help you on your personal journey, wherever you may be.

Transnationale Geschichte als Schlussel zur nationalen Geschichte.Amerikanisierung und Antiamerikanismus sind in Deutschland und Europa im 20. Jahrhundert allgegenwartige, sich wandelnde und umstrittene Phanomene gewesen. Sie haben die einzelnen Nationen und die transatlantischen Beziehungen tiefgreifend gepragt. Mary Nolan, Expertin fur deutsche und transnationale Geschichte, untersucht, wie die Europaer von amerikanischen Wirtschafts-, Kultur- und Politikmodellen beeinflusst wurden und mit ihnen umgingen. Dabei entstanden hybride Gesellschaften und politische Systeme, die sich manchmal deutlich von den Vereinigten Staaten unterschieden, in jungerer Zeit aber, angesichts von Wirtschafts- und Migrationskrisen und rechtsradikalem Populismus, die dortigen Entwicklungen widerspiegeln.Wie die Aufsatze von Mary Nolan zeigen, waren die diplomatischen Beziehungen und die Visionen von der globalen Ordnung eine standige Quelle transatlantischer Konflikte. Das Gleiche gilt fur Fragen zu Frauen, Geschlecht und Sexualitat. Die transatlantischen Beziehungen werden haufig auf sehr geschlechtsspezifische Weise erzahlt. Nolan zeigt, dass die transnationale Geschichte neue Einblicke sowohl in die nationale Geschichte als auch in die internationalen Beziehungen bietet.Transnational history as a key to national history.Americanization and anti-Americanism have been pervasive, shifting and contested phenomena in twentieth-century Germany and Europe. They have profoundly shaped individual nations and transatlantic relations. Mary Nolan, a scholar of German and transnational history, investigates how Europeans were influenced by and negotiated with American economic, cultural and political models, creating hybrid societies and polities that sometimes looked markedly different from the United States, but more recently, with economic and migration crises and right-radical populism, mirror developments there. As Mary Nolans essays show, diplomatic relations and visions of the global order have been a persistent source of transatlantic conflict. So too have been questions of women, gender and sexuality. Transatlantic relations are frequently narrated in highly gendered ways. Nolan demonstrates that transnational history offers new insights into both national histories and international relations.
