  When the Final Whistle Blows tells the story of a season, and a farewell. This deeply personal memoir chronicles Tottenham Hotspur’s 2024/25 campaign under former coach, Ange Postecoglou, but ultimately becomes a tribute to fellow fan and friend, Cameron Whyte, beloved former leader of the Australian Tottenham Hotspur supporters club, OzSpurs in Sydney.  
  Capturing moments of shared heartbreak and humour – the madness of midnight matches watched in pubs, hotels and cruise ships around the world – it embodies the stubborn hope that unites Tottenham Hotspur supporters across the globe. 
  Yet, as Andrew’s year of travel unfolds alongside a season of remarkable highs and lows – fierce battles on the pitch, moments of thrilling promise but frequent setbacks – something far more profound begins to emerge. The final chapter in the life of Cameron ‘the Commander’ Whyte, a warrior in his fight against cancer. 
  While Spurs chase glory, Cameron inspires those around him by facing his final days – and his decision to pursue voluntary assisted dying – with the same fortitude he brought to every match. And when Spurs finally lift the Europa League trophy – just four days before Cameron’s passing – a story of glory, grief, friendship and incredible grace is complete.  
  All proceeds from this book are being donated to cancer research.

  English/Canadian indie musician Tamara Williamson offers an unbridled account of a life in the world of horses. 
  From her first clever little bay pony, Stroller, to brilliant ribbon-winning Fletcher, Tamara Williamson recalls the many significant horses in her life, grappling with what it means to be horse-obsessed and what drives this desire to connect with horses. As Williamson discovers, during the tumultuous years of relationships with people and horses, these complicated equine creatures reflect back to us our best and worst selves. 
  Woven throughout the stories of individual horses in Williamson’s life is her own story of a creative, chaotic, challenging and adventurous life. Raised by an eccentric family, with a distant mother who disappeared into alcoholism and a charismatic father who left one sunny morning with a younger woman, Williamson struggles with dyslexia and a sense of increasing detachment. Horses, and the exacting sport of dressage, provide her with opportunities to connect, sometimes imperfectly. Her drive for accomplishment in equestrian sports, whether as a trainer or a rider, is regularly at odds with the fear that lingers from a traumatic childhood riding accident. 
  While reckoning with the financial and psychological expense of training and competition, and with the multitude of industries that benefit from horses, Williamson never loses sight of the enormous burden of responsibility she feels toward horses and the respect she has for their individual characters, memories and instincts. On the surface, The Mirror Horse is a book about horses—but beyond the bridles and braided manes, Williamson crafts a complex story about courage, family, and the unexpected places where we find a reflection of our souls: As a rider you can confuse yourself with being the teacher, but horses are constantly showing us something important. They are holding up a mirror.

  As a young boy, Buddy Levy accompanied his father into the pre-dawn twilight to hunt birds—particularly the chukar partridge. That youthful experience marked the beginning of Levy's reverence for the chukar and his indefatigable passion for hunting it. Here, Levy presents a lyrical and honest look at the world of hunting this "gorgeous, complicated, strong-flying" bird. He explores the complex (and controversial) layers of hunting through powerful descriptions of the hunt itself, the natural history of the bird, the grueling physicality of upland pursuit, the companionship of a worthy bird dog, and thoughtful reflections on the enduring allure of sport hunting.
