The story of how football transformed the world, told through nine World Cups - by one of our most talented football writers

Kuper S: World Cup Fever / B

World Cup Fever

A Footballing Journey in Nine Tournaments

'Fascinating, a fantastic read... the whole book is a message of hope' Rangan Chatterjee 'Amazing... it makes you feel good today and will help you live longer tomorrow' Chris Evans A myth-busting guide to one of the key pillars of health and longevity - walking - by the renowned foot health experts Walking isn't just a leisurely activity or a form of personal transportation. Its far-reaching benefits - not just for physical health, but for mental clarity and emotional well-being, creativity and social connection - make it a vital component of human existence, one that is as essential as breathing and sleeping. In this book, world-renowned foot and gait specialist, Courtney Conley, and physiotherapist, Milica McDowell, transform our understanding of the importance of one of the simplest and most accessible forms of movement. Drawing on cutting-edge research, evolutionary biology and real-life stories from their practice, they show that walking is one of our most powerful and under-prescribed medicines: revealing why walking speed can predict overall health; how the risk of falls, which has a direct impact on longevity, can be measured by your foot health; and how even the shortest of walks can have profound healing effects. Filled with practical advice, from simple tips to help with lower back pain, to customizable programs to enhance mobility and fitness, this book is an essential guide to transforming your physical - and mental - health, from the ground up.

'Lebendig macht Kuhn den Fußball in den USA durch Anekdoten und schillernde Persönlichkeiten.'&nbsp;Die Presse am Sonntag'Wenn es jemals eine seltsame Saga über Sport und Politik gab, dann ist es diese.'Dave EggersWillkommen beim Soccer! Die USA sind das einzige Land auf der Welt, in dem Fußball nicht Fußball heißt. Doch auch wenn es immer noch Amerikanerinnen und Amerikaner geben soll, die glauben, der Ball sei eiförmig: Das Land hat eine bunte und erstaunlich lange Fußballtradition. Sie reicht vom Boom der 20er-Jahre an der Ostküste, wo die Profis mehr verdienten als die Schalker, über die Amateure, die 1950 in Brasilien König England aus dem Rennen kickten, bis hin zu den Rekordweltmeisterinnen von heute und der WM 2026. Kuhns Reportagen zeigen: Wenn dem Fußball in den USA jemals etwas im Weg stand, so waren es verfeindete Unternehmer und chaotische Ligenstrukturen - die Leidenschaft ist schon lange da! Und während die Männer zweifellos das Potenzial zur Weltklasse haben, sind die Frauen längst dort angekommen.<ul><li>Überraschende Fakten, kuriose Anekdoten, exklusive Interviews: 15 unglaubliche Reportagen aus dem Land des Soccer</li><li>Eine Fundgrube für alle Fußballfans, pünktlich zur Weltmeisterschaft 2026 in den USA, Mexiko und Kanada</li><li>Mit Spielplan für die WM 2026 zum Ausfüllen</li></ul>

The Ball is Round

It's 1 a.m. in central Gaza, and emergency physician Salman Khalid is jolted awake by a text message that simply says, "mass casualty." As part of a three-member team providing care at al-Aqsa Hospital, Dr. Khalid rushes to the scene, where he is greeted by a heartbreaking sight--a family of five siblings, all under 18, suffering from horrific injuries after their tent in a designated humanitarian zone was bombed while they slept. This despairing reality is a daily occurrence in Gaza, where innocent civilians suffer under the violence of settler colonialism. In Gaza: A Doctor's Diary, Salman Khalid offers a poignant and deeply personal journal of his volunteer mission in Gaza. Over the course of a month, he captures the stark realities of life in a war zone, revealing the harrowing conditions faced by patients and medical professionals alike. With unflinching honesty, he reflects on the trauma, tragedy, resilience, and humanity that persist amid destruction and violence. This firsthand account of the brutality of the genocide in Gaza invites readers to witness the power of compassion in the face of unimaginable horror. All proceeds from the book will be donated to Humanity Auxilium, an American and Canadian NGO that is one of 25 organisations worldwide that has paired with the WHO to get people and supplies into Gaza.

"A COMPELLING HISTORY OF A POWERFUL IDEA" - Jacob Goldstein, author of Money From veteran Financial Times journalist Robin Wigglesworth, an epic history of the debt that built the modern world. Long considered the "boring" corner of finance, bonds are anything but. They are bigger than the stock market and rival even the global banking system in influence. But they are also misunderstood - treated as mere debt, when in fact their impact is radically different. From medieval Venice to modern Wall Street, Robin Wigglesworth uncovers the sweeping, unveiling story of the bond market. With clarity and wit, this is a people's history of finance: rich in drama, full of colourful characters, and bursting with insights. Bonds have funded everything from the Crusades to climate tech, Netflix series to AI data centres. Pooling capital from citizens and merchants at an unmatched scale, they have been the hidden force behind some of humanity's highest achievements and greatest calamities. This isn't just a book about the past. It's a guide to the future of finance, and a love letter to the engine that keeps it running.

The Epic Story of How Bonds Built the Modern World

A Fabulous Debt

'Well researched, emotive and hugely entertaining' Guillem Balague 'Wonderful. Perfect for anyone who loves football but has forgotten why' Joey D'Urso 'This book is a joy to read' Max Rushden 'A treasure trove of new and untouched stories' Suzy Wrack Have you ever heard of the football club founded by ex-KGB officers, the 21-time champions of Moldova? How about the Vatican Cup, contested by eight clubs made up of clerics, priests and Vatican members, where countless players have ended up in the sin bin? Or maybe you're more familiar with the Spanish team that actually resides in North Africa? Whether you're a football hipster or five-a-side novice, join renowned football writer and podcaster Paul Watson for an intrepid guide through the weird, wacky and wonderful world of football. Around the World in 80 Clubs takes the reader on a global tour of the beautiful game, from the squirrel-costume wearing fans of Andorra's UE Santa Coloma to the Buddhist monk ultras of Bhutan's Thimphu City, via Greenland's one-week season, through to priestly punch-ups in the Vatican City. This compendium is packed with footballing stories you have never heard of but will never forget. A book for the football lover, there will be no Manchester United, no Juventus, no Boca Juniors here. Instead, Around the World in 80 Clubs is filled with unique stories that have never been told before, shedding a humorous and thrilling light on cultures and communities formed - and sustained - through football.

A Journey Through the Weird, Wacky and Wonderful World of Football

Around the World in 80 Clubs

Welcome to the Ballroom

An action-packed battle manga... with ballroom dance?! Enter the thrilling (no really!) world of Dancesport! THE LAST DANCE... It's the final round of the Metropolitan Tournament, and after the dancers take their last steps, all that awaits is judgment. Chinatsu has bet her partnership with Tatara and maybe her entire dancing career on winning the competition. Anything less than first place could mean the end of so much, but Chinatsu and Tatara danced their hearts out and left everything on the floor. Will youthful passion prevail, or will a returning powerhouse reclaim past glory?

Welcome to the Ballroom 12

On a defining evening of the 1980s, Donald Trump hosted celebrities and high rollers in a Jersey Shore town to witness 21-year-old Mike Tyson knock out Michael Spinks in just 91 seconds, earning more than the annual payrolls of the Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics combined. Only eight years earlier, Tyson, a troubled child from Brooklyn, was taken under the wing of boxing legend Cus D'Amato in upstate New York. Their story of mutual redemption captivated novelists, screenwriters, and the emerging cable TV industry. Tyson became HBO's leading man long before Tony Soprano. Despite the immense success, Tyson's story was more complex and darker than it appeared. Over the decades, he has been villainized, lionized, and fetishized-but never fully humanized until now. Acclaimed biographer Mark Kriegel, who first encountered Tyson as a young reporter, explores Tyson's life through what he survived rather than whom he knocked out. Tyson, often compared to Jack Dempsey, was more akin to Sonny Liston-Black, feared, and expected to die young. What made Liston a pariah made Tyson a touchstone for a generation influenced by hip hop and gunfire. Kriegel captures not just Tyson's rise but his profound impact on the American psyche.

As tensions flare, can Bad United keep it together, or will this be their FINAL game together? The fourth book in a super and silly graphic novel series, perfect for fans of THE BAD GUYS and THE NOTHING TO SEE HERE HOTEL.?

Bad United: Team Spirit

An epic tale of war, revolution, economic crisis, and social transformation told through the story of twelve historic soccer games, with a gallery of unexpected heroes, thwarted tragedies, and stunning, world-changing results . . . Soccer has always intersected with history—sometimes during an anonymous match, sometimes in a major world final—because, from the sport's beginning in 1848, echoes of what's happening off the pitch have reached the global playing field in unthinkable ways. Soccer can spark a war but it can also have the opposite effect: interrupting conflict, even just for a few hours or days. For example, the story that begins this book: When French, Belgian, English and German World War I soldiers climbed out of their foxholes to kick the ball around with their enemies for a brief few hours during a Christmas Truce. This is just one of 12 matches the book covers. Others include the game between Dinamo Zagreb and the Red Star Belgrade in Croatia in 1990, when clashes between fans and police made it clear that Yugoslavia was about to have a bloody split. Or Chile vs. the USSR in 1973, held in Santiago, Chile, shortly after Augusto Pinochet took over in a bloody coup, and in the very stadium where he'd imprisoned, tortured, and murdered thousands of political prisoners. The hometeam won by scoring on an empty goal — the Soviets had refused to take the field in protest. Alternating between journalism and first-hand accounts from the protagonists, this work invites us to look at our past and present from a new point of view. Because, beyond what we may think, sometimes history happens while someone, somewhere, is kicking a ball around.

'ABSOLUTE HEAVEN' INDIA KNIGHT 'WARM AND UPLIFTING' AJ PEARCE 'THE PERFECT ANTIDOTE TO THE WORLD RIGHT NOW' JENNIE GODFREY Many of us dream of owning a bookshop, but for Katie Clapham it happened by accident, when she moved back to the seaside town she grew up in and went into business with her mum. Once a week, Katie sits behind the counter and chronicles the day's comings and goings - mostly people who were actually hoping to catch her mother. The triumphs here are small but hard won: a tea crisis averted, a book title correctly identified from a cryptic clutch of clues. Not to mention the emotional rollercoaster of being named the Seventh-Best Bookshop in the Country by The Times on a day where takings came to around £16.98. Customers appear for a browse and a chat, in search of a recommendation or the perfect gift. Others enter the shop for more unexpected reasons ¿ to borrow a screwdriver, locate a priest or simply to ask if there's 'a nice place for an omelette around here'. Each day brings its own joys and frustrations, though not always in equal measure . . . Funny, surprising and affectionate, here is a bookseller's year in all its weirdness and wonder - a life-affirming celebration of bad weather, good books and the irreplaceable role of a local bookshop.

Immortal Moments: The World Cup [UK]

From ESPN reporter Marc Raimondi comes a compelling, gripping narrative history of professional wrestling’s legendary faction, The NWO (New World Order), from their inception in 1996 to their influence on American pop culture today. In 1996, professional wrestling was one of the most watched sports on cable television, with more than 5 million people tuning in every week. And in the late 1990s, pro-wrestling was the hottest thing in American pop culture, with companies making millions in action figures, video games, and simple black t-shirts emblazoned with three little letters: NWO. The NWO, or New World Order, became a business like no other, and was responsible for the explosive ratings and rabid fanbase. It started with an ingenious storyline starring Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, and the titular Hollywood Hogan—Hulk Hogan gone bad. Together, they formed a new era of characters to root for: The Bad Guys. Never before had audiences cheered for the villains, rooting for them over the heroes. The NWO broke down wrestling’s fourth wall in a clever new way, blurring the lines between fiction and reality. And suddenly, watching professional wrestling not only became socially acceptable, but a necessity if you wanted to stay up to date with pop culture. Their impact was infectious and long-lasting. It was entertainment that shaped a generation. Written by Marc Raimondi, a current ESPN reporter with nearly twenty years of experience in journalism, this narrative history explores professional wrestling’s most popular faction and how their existence influenced American culture like never before.
