In Lapland, that's exactly what you'll find!

The stories in this book range from a hunter who witnessed a kangaroo holding his hunting dog in a headlock, to another who stumbled upon an abandoned Inca city in the depths of the Amazon rainforest. In the Serengeti, an impala was snatched by a crocodile at the last moment of his hunt and swallowed in a river. In Wyoming, a hunter impressively shot two bighorn sheep with a single shot. And in a remote forest in Romania, a hunter discovered a cave with prehistoric wall paintings of hunting scenes.

But that's just the tip of the iceberg. "Useless Knowledge for Hunters" offers not only amazing stories, but also practical tips and advice. Find out which game meats have nutritional advantages over farmed meat, how best to nourish yourself during long hunting trips and which natural remedies and first aid techniques are most useful in the wild.

Hibs at 150 - Down the Slope...

Anonyme

Celebrate 150 years of Hibs.
Charting the highs, lows and many misadventures of Hibernian FC, and featuring countless characters, from George Best to John McGinn via the Famous Five and the side that became world champions, this is the ultimate celebration of the beloved Edinburgh sporting institution. It sweeps from the founding of the club in 1875 to the triumphs and tribulations of the 21st century.
In 150 bitesize helpings, the story of Hibs is served up in delicious fashion. Who could forget the pass of the millennium or the swoon-inducing swagger of sixties heartthrob Peter Marinello? And who wouldn't recoil at the memory of the wine bar empire entwined in the club's darkest hour? Written by a lifelong Hibee, Hibs at 150 bridges the generations and peels back the layers of a century and half of Hibsteria.

A Nation Again - The inside...

Andy Bargh

A Nation Again is the chaotic tale of the Scotland men's team's return to a major tournament after more than 20 years in the wilderness. 
Ten had come and gone for Scotland since they reached France '98, but the birth of UEFA's Nations League offered a new route to glory. In early 2018, after a long search for Gordon Strachan's replacement, Alex McLeish became manager for a second time. Despite successfully navigating the Nations League group stage, it wasn't plain sailing, and his tenure ended after a shocking defeat at the start of Euro 2020 qualifying. 
With a play-off semi-final on the horizon, the Scottish FA turned to Steve Clarke, who took on the challenge of inspiring a team rooted in failure, creating a band-of-brothers mentality and figuring out how to organise this incredibly talented group of players. From a couple of the lowest lows, came the highest high. 
With exclusive memories and audio from those who were part of the journey, such as John McGinn, Stephen O'Donnell, Lyndon Dykes, Ryan Christie and David Marshall, this is the story of how Scotland finally became a nation again.
