Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Completely brilliant' Ian Hislop It seemed a simple enough idea at the outset: to assemble a team of eleven men to play cricket on each of the seven continents of the globe. Except - hold on a minute - that's not a simple idea at all. And when you throw in incompetent airline officials, amorous Argentine Colonels' wives, cunning Bajan drug dealers, gay Australian waiters, overzealous American anti-terrorist police, idiot Welshmen dressed as Santa Claus, Archbishop Desmond Tutu and whole armies of pitch-invading Antarctic penguins, you quickly arrive at a whole lot more than you bargained for. Harry Thompson's hilarious book tells the story of one of those great idiotic enterprises that only an Englishman could have dreamed up, and only a bunch of Englishmen could possibly have wished to carry out.

Book excerpt: A rollicking review of popular culture in 18th century Britain, this text turns away from sentimental and polite literature to focus instead on the jestbooks, farces, comic periodicals, variety shows and minor comic novels that portray a society in which no subject was taboo and political correctness unimagined.

Download or read book Rain Men written by Marcus Berkmann and published by Abacus. This book was released on 2013-05-02 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many cricket books, and they are all the same. 'Don't Tell Goochie', autobiographical insights of nights on the tiles in Delhi with Lambie and the boys; 'Fruit cake days', a celebrated humourist recalls 'ball' - related banter of yore; and Wisden, a deadly weapon when combined with a thermos flask. Rain Men is different. Like the moment the genius of Richie Benaud first revealed itself to you, it is a cricketing epiphany, a landmark in the literature of the game. Shining the light meter of reason into cricket's incomparable madness, Marcus Berkmann illuminates all the obsessions and disappointments that the dedicated fan and pathologically hopeful clubman suffers year after year - the ritual humiliation of England's middle order, the partially-sighted umpires, the battling average that reads more like a shoe size. As satisfying as a perfectly timed cover drive, and rather easier to come by, Rain Men offers essential justification for anyone who has ever run a team-mate out on purpose or secretly blubbed at a video of Botham's Ashes.

Download or read book Walter Robins: Achievements, Affections and Affronts written by Brian Rendell and published by Association of Cricket Statisticians and Historians. This book was released on 2013-02-01 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three initials before his surname; public school and ‘varsity’ connections; Middlesex player, then captain; England player, then captain; MCC committee man; Test selector. To the average cricket follower of his time R.W.V. Robins (1906-1968) seemed to be a typical ‘big noise’ at Lord’s. But the detail of his life is far more interesting than that. Born the son of a Post Office clerk in working-class Stafford, his family moved to London when he was fourteen. Walter’s mother talked Highgate School into taking him on as a pupil, where he starred in the school’s cricket and football teams. His cricket reputation, underpinned by energy and commitment, got him into Middlesex sides in the summer he left school. His sporting reputation followed him to Cambridge where he was helped by a scholarship seemingly contrived out of thin air. He rewarded his supporters with sporting rather than academic achievements, and then joined the ranks of Sir Julien Cahn’s cricket-playing employees, fitting in football for the Corinthians and the odd appearance in the League. Marriage yielded a job in insurance underwriting, and allowed him to play regular county cricket. His enthusiastic batting, dynamic fielding, and sharply spun leg-breaks brought him representative-match opportunities and eventually Test games. Committee places followed, and his combative but cheerful manner found him friends, including a regular correspondence with Don Bradman, and exasperated enemies, including Enid Blyton. He led Middlesex in the Brylcreem summer of 1947. Brian Rendell here reports on a man who wanted cricket to be as exciting as football.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume, a directory of astrological correspondences, is the result of a research project that drew together the thoughts of many others into a reference book, assuming the role of a dictionary to astrologers, but vastly more complete. It is the only place where all sign, planetary and house rulerships have been brought together and put in a good workable order. It is organized in such a way that one can use the book for quick and easy reference, and it eliminates the need to search through various other volumes. In four parts: an alphabetical listing, a listing by planets, a listing by signs, a listing by houses. Plus an Appendix with special listings: principal bones of the body, principal veins of the body, chart of an organization, flavors and handwriting forms. Enthusiastically endorsed and used by professionals and students alike, no reference library is complete without this best-selling volume.

But they themselves are now in great danger, and so the wizard Stanislaus Pym hides the children at the Edgar Allan Poe Home for Hopeless and Incorrigible Orphans. There, he says, they will be safe. How wrong he is. The children are soon discovered by their enemies, and a frantic chase sends Kate a hundred years into the past, to a perilous, enchanted New York City. Searching for a way back to her brother and sister, she meets a mysterious boy whose fate is intricately—and dangerously—tied to her own. Meanwhile, Michael and Emma have set off to find the second of the Books of Beginning. A series of clues leads them into a hidden world where they must brave harsh polar storms, track down an ancient order of warriors, and confront terrible monsters. Will Michael and Emma find the legendary book of fire—and master its powers—before Kate is lost to them forever? Exciting, suspenseful, and brimming with humor and heart, the next installment of the bestselling Books of Beginning trilogy will lead Kate, Michael, and Emma closer to their family—and to the magic that could save, or destroy, them all.
