Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The sun is shining on the golden castle on Rainbow Bay - and change is in the air!Amelia is a single mother, doing her very best to look after her young son, Charlie - but money is tight and times are tough. When she first hears that she is the last descendent of the Chesterford family and that she has inherited a Real-Life Castle by the sea, Amelia can't quite believe her ears. But it's true!She soon finds that owning a castle isn't quite the ticket to sorting out her money problems that she'd first hoped: she can't sell, because the terms of the ancient bequest state that any Chesterford who inherits the castle, must live there and work towards the upkeep and maintenance of the family home. So ever-practical Amelia decides to uproot her little family and move to this magnificent castle by the sea. Living in a castle on the beautiful Northumberland coast is fun at first, but organising the day-to-day running is a lot more complicated than Amelia first imagined. Luckily she has help from the small band of eccentric and unconventional staff that are already employed there - and a mysterious unseen hand that often gives her a push in the right direction just when she needs it most. It's only when she meets Tom, a furniture restorer who comes to the castle to help repair some antique furniture, that Amelia realises she might get the fairy-tale ending that she and Charlie truly deserve.Join bestselling author Ali McNamara in Rainbow Bay, where an inheritance and some sea air are about to work their magic on Amelia's life. 376 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu.

Since then, Argentina's World Cup victory has become the stuff of legend, and their quarterfinal with England, which featured arguably the best goal in history (Maradona's 'Goal of the Century') and the worst (the notorious 'Hand of God'), is infamous. Now, for the first time ever, Maradona tells his side of the story, detailing every game and pulling no punches. But Argentina's victory came after months of struggle and discord within the team and off the pitch, including the Argentine government's attempt to change the team's coach, a lack of equipment that forced the players to buy their own uniforms, and an argument that caused one the team's star players to quit on the eve of the tournament. Now, thirty years after Argentina's magical victory, Maradona tells his side of the story, vividly recounting how he led the team to win one of the greatest World Cup triumphs of all time. 256 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Between the Renaissance and the Enlightenment Europe changed out of all recognition as thinkers were driven by a passionate quest for knowledge. Alongside monumental scientific discoveries such as how blood moves around the body, that the Earth revolves around the Sun and why objects fall, traditional faith flourished and there was an almost universal belief in horoscopes and magic.Contrary to popular belief, there was no real conflict between faith and reason as philosophers, mystics, magicians, theologians and scientists jostled each other in a hectic pursuit of 'truth'.The first use of the word 'science' in its modern sense was recorded in 1725, only nine years after the last witch had been executed in Britain. Within a few years, Wesley and Whitfield were leading religious campaigns that profoundly influenced western society. The relationship between what people 'believed' and what they 'knew' had not been finally resolved. But most of the important questions had been posed and debated throughout the preceding three centuries.'A rich and interesting book'Kostas Kampourakis, Springer Nature 320 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - '[Jan Smuts was] probably more fitted to guide struggling and blundering humanity through its sufferings and perils towards a better day than anyone who lived in any country during his epoch'Winston Churchill in a letter of condolence to Smuts's widow, Isie SmutsThe remarkable friendship between Winston Churchill and Jan Smuts is a rich study in contrasts. In youth they occupied very different worlds: Churchill, the rambunctious and thrusting young aristocrat; Smuts, the ascetic, philosophical farm boy from the Western Cape in South Africa who would go on to Cambridge where, in an unprecedented achievement, he sat both parts of a law tripos simultaneously and won a double first. Brought together first as enemies in the Anglo-Boer War, and later as allies in the First and Second World Wars, the men forged a friendship that spanned the first half of the twentieth century and endured until Smuts's death in 1950. Richard Steyn's vivid portrait of this close friendship has drawn on a wealth of archival and secondary sources. It is a fascinating account of two exceptional men in war and peace: one the leader of an empire, the other the leader of a small, fractious member of that empire who rose to global prominence. 'The importance of the relationship between Winston Churchill and Jan Smuts has received belated recognition in Richard Steyn's elegant new book. Smuts' role as Churchill's comrade, guide, and, in Steyn's depiction, wise critic, is rarely celebrated and often overlooked'Kenneth Weisbrode, author of Churchill and the King 352 pp. Deutsch.
