The Test - Nathan Leamon - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

The Test - Nathan Leamon - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

''Engaging and enjoyable . . . as probing and as penetrative as a Jimmy Anderson opening spell . . . This is no ordinary novel by no ordinary novelist'' Sunday Times ''A fine addition to the painfully thin oeuvre of modern fictional works about cricket'' Mike Atherton, The Times ''Outstanding'' Mail on Sunday ''If all you know is cricket, then cricket will break you . . .'' It is the final Test match of The Ashes. A nation expects, and the rest of the cricketing world is watching.Fast-paced, humorous and candid, The Test follows the battles on and off the field as stand-in England captain, James McCall, tries to get his exhausted team across the finish line. Along the way, his story becomes one of fatherhood, friendship and trusting yourself when no one else will.Nathan Leamon''s love letter to Test cricket is that rare thing: a novel that captures the feel and flavour of professional sport from the inside - the good, the bad and the simply surreal.Not since J. L. Carr''s classic A Season in Sinji has there been a novel that quite captures the spirit of the game. Included in Wisden Cricket Monthly ''s Finest Cricket Books Ever Written

Test Kitchen - Neil Stewart - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

'' Test Kitchen is phenomenal - a mad, magical, ten-course feast of a novel, gorgeously written, totally original, packed with ideas and invention. Incredibly ambitious too - so many characters, so many stories, all of it choreographed so expertly. I have no idea how Neil Stewart did it, even after reading it twice. It deserves to be a massive success. Three Michelin stars'' Paul Murray, author of The Bee Sting ''An amazing novel . . . Veering from humorous to horrifying, Test Kitchen shows real insight into the mildly unhinged nature of both high-end restaurants and their diners - with wit, lyricism and a killer turn of phrase'' Marina O''Loughlin ''A gorgeous tasting menu of a novel, a glittering mystery as sharp as a paring knife and as artfully constructed as its fictional restaurant'' Lauren Beukes, author of The Shining Girls Welcome to a Tuesday night at London restaurant Midgard. The kitchen is buzzing. The tables are set. And the staff and guests take their place....The maître d'' caught up in a conspiracy......The precocious young foodie with an axe to grind......The nervous new sous chef......The anonymous influential food critic......The patisserie chef stalked by her ex-lover......The wayward son of a dangerous family......The enigmatic head chef with the past she won''t discuss......The lone diner with the terrible wound to his face...Watching everything from her hidden vantage is Marley, the restaurant''s newest waitress. She alone knows bad things are about to unfold - but she is powerless to intervene.Tonight, everyone has a story. Is it too late to change how this one ends?Tense and moreish, Test Kitchen is a darkly funny and often macabre story about the culture of food, of dining and eating, about feeding and nourishing, about mothers, mortality and magic.

Test Your EQ - Mark Davis - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

Test Your EQ - Mark Davis - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

Few topics in recent years have captured the imagination of psychologists and the general public like emotional intelligence (EQ) - the ability to recognize, understand, regulate and ultimately use emotions effectively. Just as traditional measures of intelligence (IQ) tap our ability to understand and use abstract information, measures of EQ capture our ability to understand and use emotions - both our own and those of other people. Measures of IQ are no longer enough: in many - if not most - situations, EQ may be just as important as (or more important than) IQ. Until now, most measures of EQ have not been readily available to the public. Here, at last, Professor Mark Davis presents EQ in a clear and accessible way, with 25 tests that have been specially developed for this book. Each measure taps a specific component of EQ in a particular way to enable you to determine your particular strengths and weaknesses. The book concludes with suggestions about the practical, concrete steps you can take to improve your own EQ.

An Officer and a Gentlewoman - Heloise Goodley - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

When Heloise Goodley ditched her City job and decided to attend officer training at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, she had no prior military experience.

An Officer and a Gentlewoman charts Goodley''s absorbing journey through Sandhurst and on to Afghanistan and gives an insight into the array of bizarre military behaviours and customs at this esoteric and hidden institution. With wit and sensitivity Goodley details her experiences as a cadet and the painful transition from civilian to soldier. Moreover, she rejects lazy preconceptions and sheds new light on what has hitherto been a bastion of maleness - the British Army.

Overcoming Mild Traumatic Brain Injury and Post-Concussion Symptoms - Nigel King - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

Overcoming Mild Traumatic Brain Injury and Post-Concussion Symptoms - Nigel King - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

HIGHLY COMMENDED for the British Medical Awards book prize for Popular Medicine Up to 10% of people will suffer a mild head injury (or ''mild traumatic brain injury'') in their lifetime and up to 50% of those people will also find they have lingering post-concussion symptoms in the months or years afterwards. These symptoms can include headaches, dizziness, fatigue, irritability, sleep disturbance, reduced day-to-day memory, poor concentration, taking longer to think, ''muzzy'' headedness, depression, anxiety, tinnitus, blurred or double vision, sensitivity to light or noise, frustration, nausea, restlessness and sensitivity to alcohol. In such circumstances the ''mild'' head injury may feel anything but mild. This is particularly so if large areas of your day to day life are affected. People in these circumstances can have their difficulties compounded by the very different explanations for their persisting difficulties. These usually involve receiving contradictory opinions about the extent to which ongoing symptoms are caused by neurological brain injury or other factors. These complicating factors can make it very difficult to find the right kind of service or expertise after a TBI. Patients can easily feel like they are being ''''pushed from pillar to post" when trying to find services that can help with their problems. On top of all of this, there is a distinct lack of good, science- based information for patients about the best ways to manage PCS. It is therefore very common for those who experience prolonged difficulties to find their situation extremely confusing, frustrating and stressful. Dr Nigel King is an expert with much experience in this area, and has written a very valuable book weaving together the most useful knowledge in this area. It clarifies some of the complex issues for those who suffer with prolonged problems and provides practical, science-based self-help guidance for managing TBI difficulties. Using cognitive rehabilitation techniques and CBT approaches for the associated mental health complications of PCS, this much need book provides help, hope and understanding for what can be a highly disabling and misunderstood condition.

Churchill at War - Lord Moran - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

Churchill at War - Lord Moran - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

This new edition of extracts from the extremely candid diaries of Churchill''s doctor Lord Moran, his devoted friend and confidant, contains material not previously revealed. It sheds a new light on how the great man faced up to and absorbed the strain of events during the war years, the tremendous burden of his responsibilities, and his extraordinary resolution. Moran''s keen observation, sensitivity, truth and insight, are brought to bear on Churchill''s conduct and personality. We hear of the weaknesses as well as the strengths: his rages, his jokes and salty comments, his occasional foolishness, his rare cattiness (of Attlee: ''He has a great deal to be modest about'') and endearing playfulness, are all captured. Moran was not just an acute observer of his most famous patient. At Churchill''s side, he was able to record remarkable details of other world figures, and the historic events in which Churchill played so momentous a part.

Evita Burned Down Our Pavilion - James Coyne - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

''A highly entertaining read, deftly melding social history with sporting memoir and travelogue'' Mail on Sunday A history of Latin America through cricket Cricket was the first sport played in almost every country of the Americas - earlier than football, rugby or baseball. In 1877, when England and Australia played the inaugural Test match at the MCG, Uruguay and Argentina were already ten years into their derby played across the River Plate.The visionary cricket historian Rowland Bowen said that, during the highpoint of cricket in South America between the two World Wars, the continent could have provided the next Test nation. In Buenos Aires, where British engineers, merchants and meatpackers flocked to make their fortune, the standard of cricket was high: towering figures like Lord Hawke and Plum Warner took star-studded teams of Test cricketers to South America, only to be beaten by Argentina. A combined Argentine, Brazilian and Chilean team took on the first-class counties in England in 1932. The notion of Brazilians and Mexicans playing T20 at the Maracana or the Azteca today is not as far-fetched as it sounds.But Evita Burned Down Our Pavilion is also a social history of grit, industry and nation-building in the New World. West Indian fruit workers battled yellow fever and brutal management to carve out cricket fields next to the railway lines in Costa Rica. Cricket was the favoured sport of Chile''s Nitrate King. Emperors in Brazil and Mexico used the game to curry favour with Europe. The notorious Pablo Escobar even had a shadowy connection to the game. The fate of cricket in South America was symbolised by Eva Peron ordering the burning down of the Buenos Aires Cricket Club pavilion when the club refused to hand over their premises to her welfare scheme.Cricket journalists Timothy Abraham and James Coyne take us on a journey to discover this largely untold story of cricket''s fate in the world''s most colourful continent. Fascinating and surprising, Evita Burned Down Our Pavilion is a valuable addition to cricketing and social history.

This house has been a regular presence in my life for as long as I can remember. My heart has sunk a little every time I walk in . . .
