Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Who is The Secret Footballer? His identity is jealously guarded by just a handful of people. But whoever he is - and whoever he plays for - he is always honest, always fearless and always opinionated. This genuine story of one player's career is a unique combination of considered analysis, tell-all gossip and the joys and frustrations that only someone who plays the game at the highest levels can really feel. From the realities of racism and depression, to the pleasure and pain of sky-high salaries and the scandals of Christmas parties, The Secret Footballer reveals everything you need to know about the beautiful (and not so beautiful) game.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Is your retirement date looming? Do you fear the void that lies ahead or are you excited about the opportunities the future holds? Or do you have no intention of giving up work altogether, planning instead to phase your commitments out gradually, take on freelance work or develop side projects - or even just keep going indefinitely? Retirement these days is no longer simply a case of being presented with a carriage clock on your 65th birthday, then heading off to play golf for the next 30 years. Changes to life expectations and pension provisions have meant that people are now expected to work longer and think more proactively about their future. Set against this are the challenges of ageism and financial insecurity, the demands of family, and the stress induced by this time of transition. In this thoughtful and constructive guide, Eileen Carnell and Caroline Lodge lead you step-by-step through the issues you will face as you approach retirement: social and economic, emotional and physical. With warmth and intelligence, Retiring With Attitude will help you find your way to an exciting new outlook. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The global crash has dramatically changed the world's balance of power. America, once the world's hyper-power, is in retreat and mired in debt. Europe confronts a similar fate and with weaker animal spirits for help. But China's rise seems unstoppable. The Asian century, long predicted, is arriving 20 years faster than expected. But Britain isn't ready. Since the loss of empire, our trade and security have been bound up with our neighbours across the wide Atlantic and the narrow channel. Worse, the globalisation of the last 20 years has left us feeling introspective and insecure and in little mood for a new and determined push overseas. Yet now is not the time for a failure of nerve. Our success in the century ahead may depend on our success in Asia. Britain now confronts a choice. To muddle through and get by with old allies or fast forward and resolve to prosper in the Asian century. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Spontaneous, unforeseen and contagious, the uprisings of the Arab Spring took everyone - participants included - by surprise. Like revolutions in other times and places, they seemed impossible beforehand and inevitable afterwards. In mid-December 2010 the desperate act of a young Tunisian barely featured on the global news agenda. But it set off a chain reaction of extraordinary events that would unseat dictators, reshape the political landscape of North Africa and the Middle East and affect the lives of millions of people. "The Guardian" has been running, often breathlessly, to follow the story and to explain it ever since. This is a tale of many chapters, told by the journalists, bloggers and citizens who have lived through this incredible time. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Buch
Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Acclaimed war photographer Sean Smith has covered all the major conflicts of the past few years, from the Middle East to the Congo. "Frontlines" brings together some of his finest work, and offers both a chronicle of major flashpoints and a unique insight into modern warfare and its aftermath. Starting with the violence that erupted on the streets of Bethlehem in 2000, when Palestinian youths clashed with Israeli soldiers, Smith moves on to provide fascinating and poignant glimpses of life in Afghanistan before the US-led campaign and then the grim realities of the military onslaught and Taliban insurgency that followed. He bears witness to the devastation wrought in Lebanon by the Israeli bombardment of 2006, and the scenes of chaos in the Congo as the government clashed with Tutsi rebels. But it is to Iraq, the most politically divisive conflict of modern times, that Smith returns again and again. He shows us a society striving to hold itself together in the months leading up to the invasion of 2003. He follows the progress of troops battling against opposition and sectarian attack. And he records the Shia uprisings of 2007 and the US military surge that sought to contain them. This is an extraordinary record of over a decade of conflict, and a worthy contribution to the great tradition of war photography. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. 'How good is "The Wire"? Put it this way: "The Wire's" so good, I've lost count of the number of people who've approached or emailed me just to thank me for convincing them to watch it. "The Wire's" so good, I'm jealous of anyone who hasn't seen it yet, because they get to discover it anew. "The Wire's" so good, it's come to an end. Because that's what good things do, the bastards.' - Charlie Brooker writing in the "Guardian". Multi-layered, morally-challenging, action-packed - "The Wire" is an epic novel in the form of a TV programme. Nothing like it has been made before and - to its millions of fans - nothing as good will ever be made again. A cult hit in the US and the UK, it is a show that prompts endless debate. Is Omar Little the coolest criminal since Robin Hood? Which series has the best theme tune? Will Bubbles survive Baltimore? Avon or Stringer? How does McNulty have so much success with women? With the show now over, these and hundreds of other questions are debated in this brilliant collection of features and comments from the "Guardian's Wire Re-up" blog. Together with interviews with the show's creators and stars, 'running totals' per episode and a quiz created by the stars themselves, this book will guarantee you that one last fix you've been craving.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. House of Fun is a bumper collection of Simon Hoggart's finest and funniest sketches written since he took up the poisoned quill twenty years ago. It is instant history with added jokes. Read about how John Major learned the English language from his time in Nigeria. There is Tony Blair, with his verb-free sentences which imply everything and promise nothing. Gordon Brown, the grumpiest prime minister of recent years, both Stalin and Mr Bean. And now David Cameron - who really, really hates being drawn with a condom on his head. Let's not forget John Prescott, who can wrestle the English language to the mat and win by two falls to a submission, Michael Fabricant with his hairpiece stolen from the tail of a My Little Pony, Sir Peter Tapsell, a grandee so grand that when he rises to speak, Hansard writers are replaced by a crack team of monks to write up his words in illuminated lettering. Nick Clegg, with his default expression of a man's whose chldren's puppy is still missing. And of course, the famous 2010 press conference in the garden of Downing Street, a love-in that would have been illegal in 44 American states. This book will have you laughing, chuckling, roaring, sniggering, and sometimes despairing. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. The line from London to Bristol connects two great cities, but what lies in between? London's western suburbs, the Thames Valley, acres of farmland punctuated by tourist traps and provincial towns; what could possibly be of interest in such a landscape? To his surprise, James Attlee - a regular traveller on the route - finds himself knee-deep in stories, the line awash with ghosts, including those of Charles I, Oscar Wilde, T.E. Lawrence, the Beautiful Spotted Boy, Haile Selassie, Stanley Spencer, Diana Dors, Eddie Cochran and of course the creator of the line himself, Isambard Kingdom Brunel. Among the living he seeks the stories of the overlooked workers who keep the trains running - including the man who flies an owl to scare the pigeons out of Paddington station. Drawing on his own experience as a commuter Attlee explores the effect of velocity on vision, and the links railways have with music and literature. Despite the ease with which it slips backwards and forwards in time, this is not another nostalgic book about 'heritage' England. As Britain embarks on the greatest period of rail construction since the nineteenth century, the author argues that trains are the future, not the past. Will increased connectivity really guarantee general prosperity this time around, as Victorian engineers promised it would 175 years ago? The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. 2014 was a memorable year for the Guardian. In the space of a few weeks it won the Newspaper of the Year award, the European Press Prize for journalism, and - the ultimate honour - the Pulitzer Prize for its groundbreaking articles on NSA surveillance. It's been a memorable year for news, too - from floods to air disasters, the hacking trial to the Scottish referendum, the rise of Farage to the fall of Clifford. We have seen the world come together for a football tournament and divide under religious extremism, witnessed the phrases 'conscious uncoupling' and 'Benefits Street' enter our vocabulary, and discovered the mysterious hold the song from Frozen has on our pre-teens. Here, in our annual collection of the best journalism of the past twelve months, we showcase the range of voices that makes up the Guardian in all its eclectic glory: some hard-hitting and thought-provoking, others witty and unashamedly frivolous. The one thing all these pieces have in common is that they remind us of the joy and power of the written word. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Honeybees are dying. In America, one in three hives was left lifeless at the beginning of 2008. In France, the death rate might be 60 percent. In Britain, a government minister has warned that honey bees could be extinct within a decade. A third of all that we eat, and much of what we wear, relies on pollination by honeybees. So if - or when - the world loses its black-and-yellow workers, the consequences will be dire. What is behind this catastrophe? Viruses, parasites, pesticides and climate change have all been blamed. As has modern mono culture agribusiness. In this timely book, two keen amateur apiarists investigate all the claims and counterclaims with the help of scientist and beekeepers in Europe, America and beyond. They ask the question that will soon be on everyone's lips: is there any possible way of saving the honeybees - and, with them, the world as we know it?

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. It was a year that started dramatically and just kept on delivering more shocks. The inauguration of President Trump; the continuing fallout of Brexit; tensions in Syria, North Korea and Afghanistan; a terror attack on Westminster; a surprise general election . It was a year in which fake news itself made the headlines, yet one in which cool, calm and perceptive analysis was more essential than ever. Here, the Bedside Guardian rounds up the best journalism of 2017, in a collection that follows the main news events of the year but is also unafraid to meander into quirkier, more offbeat waters. Showcasing the intelligent wit and thought-provoking opinions for which the paper is famous, this is essential reading for those of us attempting to make sense of a fast-changing world.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. A batsman's bat breaks in half mid-shot. He trips on the piece of broken blade, knocking it back into the stumps. Is he out hit wicket? At Canterbury (in the old days, before the big tree died) a ball strikes the upper branches and leaves of the tree but still clears the boundary. What do you signal? A batsman is struck on the helmet. Dazed, he walks into his stumps. The fielding team appeal. What do you decide? Paul Trevillion, Europe's foremost sports illustrator, has teamed up with ex-professional cricket and test umpire John Holder to produce this entertaining and informative guide to the laws of cricket.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. "The Observer" published its first Jane Bown photograph in December 1949, beginning a romance between Britain's oldest Sunday paper and the country's most loved photographer that still flourishes. By 1980, she was renowned enough for the National Portrait Gallery to hold a one-person exhibition of her work and there have been no fewer than seven published collections of her photographs. This first ever collection of Bown's non-portraiture stretches back to her student days and includes many previously unpublished and some previously unseen images. It stands as a fascinating insight into Bown's development as an artist, and reveals a breadth to her talents that will surprise and energise all lovers of her work. The many set pieces, whose instinctive drama captures social history in the making, will appeal to the 'retrospective' market. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. 2013 has been an extraordinary year. And the Guardian was at the very heart of it. From the death of Margaret Thatcher to the Oscar Pistorius murder case, from Andy Murray winning Wimbledon to the unfolding crisis in Syria, the Guardian's best journalists have covered every moment, every angle and every point of view. Often they have shaped the news agenda: the scandal of Britain's undercover policing and the revelations made by Edward Snowden concerning the NSA are both stories that were broken this year in the Guardian and made international headlines. But for every hard-hitting investigation - and the ones included in this book cover such subjects as brutal police squads in Iraq and terrorist cover-ups in Northern Ireland - there are also examples of the Guardian's quirky wit and humour, with the paper's top writers being dispatched to answer such weighty questions as what to do with your Ugg boots now that they are no longer fashionable, or how one should respond when Snoop Dogg offers you a spliff. Representing the Guardian in its eclectic and idiosyncratic glory, this is a beautifully produced collection for all fans of intelligent, world-class journalism. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. In 2007 Luke Harding arrived in Moscow to take up a new job as a correspondent for the British newspaper "The Guardian". Within months, mysterious agents from Russia's Federal Security Service - the successor to the KGB - had broken into his flat. He found himself tailed by men in cheap leather jackets, bugged, and even summoned to Lefortovo, the KGB's notorious prison. The break-in was the beginning of an extraordinary psychological war against the journalist and his family. Vladimir Putin's spies used tactics developed by the KGB and perfected in the 1970s by the Stasi, East Germany's sinister secret police. This clandestine campaign burst into the open in 2011 when the Kremlin expelled Harding from Moscow - the first western reporter to be deported from Russia since the days of the Cold War. "Mafia State: How One Reporter Became an Enemy of the Brutal New Russia" is a brilliant and haunting account of the insidious methods used by a resurgent Kremlin against its so-called "enemies" - human rights workers, western diplomats, journalists and opposition activists. It includes unpublished material from confidential US diplomatic cables, released last year by WikiLeaks, which describe Russia as a "virtual mafia state". Harding gives a unique, personal and compelling portrait of today's Russia, two decades after the end of communism, that reads like a spy thriller.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Jane Bown has been taking portraits for the "Observer" for sixty years; anyone who has picked up the paper will be aware of her extraordinary talent. Working almost exclusively in black and white and with natural light, she produces astonishingly candid photographs that reveal the private side of her famous subjects. She works quickly, unobtrusively and decisively, often snatching great pictures in impossible circumstances, and she has an unerring instinct for capturing the telling moment, even in the midst of a media scrum or rushed in mid-interview. This new collection not only presents Jane's well-known shots, it also goes behind the scenes to reveal unpublished pictures - the ones that hit the newsroom floor. At every shoot, Jane took numerous wonderful studies, but the 'definitive' image was usually chosen by the picture editor, sometimes on the basis of something as arbitrary as how much space was available on the page. In "Exposures", Jane's photos finally get to speak for themselves. Presented here uncropped and in their full glory, these photographs show why Jane has been hailed as the natural successor of Cartier-Bresson and as one of the UK's preeminent portrait photographers. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
