Sinopse

From the author of Woman Up, shortlisted for the 2024 Vikki Orvice Award for Women's Sport Writing, and Unsuitable for Females, shortlisted for The Sunday Times Football Book of the Year 2023 
'One of the most talented and considered minds working in women's football today' THE ATHLETIC 
'The perfect person to guide us through the constantly changing landscape of women's football' KELLY CATES 
'One of the most prolific writers about women's football in the UK' EVENING STANDARD 
Before Mary Earps, Jess Fishlock, and Lucy Bronze, there were the trailblazers who defied the odds. 
In 1921, the FA banned women from playing football, but these rebels refused to quit. Leaving behind jobs, families, and their homeland, they sought opportunities abroad, where they could fulfil their footballing potential. 
This book uncovers the untold stories of those pioneering women who paved the way for today’s stars. The original Lioness who started a new life in the Netherlands as a teenager, the first woman of colour to play for England, the girl who gave up the chance of international recognition to play in Italy – through their reflections, we explore their extraordinary journeys, the evolution of women’s football, and the dreams they still hold for the future. 
'Fabulous' That's So Offside Podcast 
'Carrie writes the stories we're convinced would otherwise be lost forever... a MUST READ! Be prepared to feel aggrieved and inspired in equal measure' The Offside Rule podcast 
'A vital and beautifully told piece of football history... essential reading for anyone who cares about the true story of women's football' Anita Asante, former England international and football pundit 
'Flying the Flag tells the stories you otherwise will never hear... So please, I beg, tell your daughters and granddaughters about it because without context the achievements of current and future generations can't be properly appreciated' Lynsey Hooper, broadcaster 
'Without a doubt one of the most important books about women's football to date... incredibly fun and educational' The WoSo Show

    Airpower over the Rhine is a critical new perspective on the air battle between the French Air Force (FAF) and the Luftwaffe in the skies over France during May and June 1940. Author James F. Slaughter III examines how each country's leadership created the circumstances that enabled the Luftwaffe's victory over the FAF and Germany's ultimate defeat of France. 
     
     
     
    Conventional wisdom—especially in the English-speaking world—purports that the FAF was a nonentity whose loss was all but guaranteed. But the FAF did, in fact, show up to fight. Slaughter traces this misconception to a largely collaborationist cover-up beginning with the Rion Trials in Vichy France that was then perpetuated by Cold War politics and popular mythology. 
     
     
     
    This work compares and examines six fundamental areas that affected the development of the FAF and the Luftwaffe: aircraft and equipment, the aircraft industries, intelligence, the experiences of the Spanish Civil War, doctrine and training, and politics and air power. It also offers new details about and insights into Pierre Cot, a controversial French politician largely unknown outside France. Airpower over the Rhine explains Cot's internal and external impact on the development of the French Air Force and details what is known about his apparent efforts to spy for the Soviet Union.

    This book by James Clear offers an approach rooted in neuroscience, psychology, and sociology to help people build positive habits and eliminate negative ones. Its core premise is that habits are the foundation of success, and that small, incremental changes can lead to significant improvements in one’s life. 
    Beyond their personal impact on identity and success, Atomic Habits also raises broader questions about the role habits play in shaping societies and cultures. While Clear focuses on individual development, his principles can be applied collectively. For example, what would happen if governments, businesses, or communities intentionally designed environments that encourage good habits at scale? Behavioral architecture is already in use in some areas—like walkable city design or waste reduction through nudging strategies—but its full potential remains largely untapped. 
    Another underexplored aspect is how digital technology affects habit formation. In a world where algorithms influence what we see, read, and buy, our habits are no longer purely personal choices—they’re shaped by systems designed to maximize our engagement. This raises a critical question: how can we regain control over our behavior in such a hyperconnected environment? 
    Habits are valuable when they fit the context, but what happens when that context changes? A habit that’s beneficial today might become irrelevant—or even harmful—tomorrow. Real mastery isn’t just about building habits; it’s also about knowing when to adapt or let them go. 
    Ultimately, the book reminds us that the power to change lies in our hands—not in sweeping decisions, but in the small, consistent actions we take each day. Over time, those actions shape who we become and what we achieve.

    Ancient History - A...

    This combo book consists of 3 titles about the following topics: 
    1: History of India - The history of India is long and complicated. It dates back to thousands of years before Christ, according to historical analysts, and it involves wars, peoples, different spiritual movements, claims of independence, merging of empires, and various cultural aspects. 
    In this study guide, we will try to shed some light on the development of this area of the world. We’ll talk about the bronze age, the iron age, medieval times in India, the early modern period, and the 20th century developments. To understand a part of the world with such a huge part of the entire world population (more than a 1.38 billion currently), is to understand way more about world history itself. Therefore, I invite you to get started right away and learn more. 
    2: Ancient Greece - Thanks to ancient Greece, we know more about philosophy, politics, the democratic system, mythology, art, the Olympics, and many, many lingual references imbedded in almost every European language. Ancient Greece has had a significant impact on many concepts we still hold true today. 
    Ancient Greece was a northeastern Mediterranean society that existed from the 12th-9th centuries BC till the end of classical antiquity (c. AD 600). It was made up of a loose collection of culturally and linguistically associated city-states and other areas that were only combined once, under Alexander the Great's empire, for 13 years (336-323 BC). Classical antiquity was quickly followed by the Early Middle Ages and the Byzantine period in Western history. 
    3: Ancient Egypt - When we think of Ancient Egypt, we picture movies with mazes, pyramids, traps, mummies, and symbols. And although some of these things were definitely part of it, there is so much more to this ancient civilization.
