Synopsis

Victory Celebrations explores the profound role of societal celebrations, from sports championships to the end of wars, as powerful social rituals. These collective displays of joy are not mere outbursts but reflections of deeply ingrained cultural values and shapers of collective identity. Examining these celebrations offers insight into how societies reinforce social bonds and transmit cultural narratives. For instance, victory celebrations can solidify a new social order after political revolutions. The book delves into the historical evolution of these practices, revealing how religion, politics, and social structures have shaped celebratory rituals over time. It offers a structured approach, starting with the psychological and sociological underpinnings of victory celebrations. It progresses from examining sports, where celebrations reflect national identity, to exploring the complex emotions surrounding the end of conflicts and the ideals promoted by freedom movements. By analyzing a diverse range of historical accounts, sociological studies, and media analysis, Victory Celebrations challenges the conventional view of celebrations as superficial occurrences. It positions them as essential tools through which societies define themselves, highlighting their impact on political outcomes and their potential for both inclusion and exclusion. This interdisciplinary approach makes it uniquely valuable for understanding the hidden meanings and social functions of victory celebrations.

    From the author of the bestselling Torres and Messi, a revealing new biography of Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo. When a young Portuguese player with sublime abilities arrived at Manchester United in 2003, Alex Ferguson put the no. 7 shirt – once worn by Best, Cantona and Beckham – on his back without hesitation. The expectation was clear, and Cristiano Ronaldo didn't disappoint. Ronaldo won the FIFA World Footballer of the Year in 2008, the first Premier League player ever to do so. Since his record-breaking £80m move to Real Madrid, his goal-scoring flair has continued and made his on-going rivalry with Barcelona's Lionel Messi even more intense. Luca Caioli tells the inside story of this global superstar both on and off the pitch, unveiling the life of one of modern football's great players as never before.

    The White Mountains are full of secrets. Mountains with no trails. Trails that have been abandoned. Lost waterfalls that we've forgotten over time. Remote cascades that somehow go unnoticed. The places we've been missing out on might just outnumber the list of unforgettable destinations we've already visited and this is only the beginning. 
 
In this free sampler we explore 9 locations from three different books. There's a little something in here for everyone, whether you're into waterfalls or mountain views, bushwhacking or staying on the trail and sometimes a little bit of both. This is merely a prelude to prepare you for The White Mountains You Haven't Seen.

    Ultrarunner Jen Scotney has achieved podium finishes in some of the UK’s toughest races and now has her sights firmly set on the Pennine Way. In Running Through the Dark, Jen talks about her ambitions, not just to run the 268-mile Pennine Way but to take the record as the fastest woman to do so. But that didn’t happen. Nothing went according to plan. The Jen the world knew was a successful lawyer and running coach – all photoshoots and finish-line smiles – but the truth was much darker. The real Jen Scotney, the one she hid from everybody, suffered with chronic fatigue, debilitating injuries, tragedy, grief and at times had a will so beaten down by setbacks that there just didn’t seem any point in going on. 
 
But she did go on. Running Through the Dark is Jen’s account of her ultra-journey. Playing out on the moors of the Pennines, the fells of the Lake District and the mountains of Wales and Scotland, this is much more than a running book, it is a story about resilience, about never giving up, and about battling through the night and always believing that there will be a new dawn.
