Synopsis

World Cup Facts explores the captivating history of the FIFA World Cup, revealing its significance as more than just a soccer tournament, but as a reflection of global culture and international relations. The book dissects legendary matches, such as the controversial 1966 final, and examines significant upsets, like Senegal's victory over France in 2002, that have challenged established soccer norms. By focusing on iconic players and their contributions, the book highlights how their individual stories are woven into the evolving tactics and strategies of the game.

 
The book begins by tracing the origins and early evolution of the tournament. It analyzes key moments and influential figures, demonstrating how the World Cup has grown into the world's most-watched sporting event. Drawing from FIFA archives, historical match footage, and player interviews, World Cup Facts adopts a narrative non-fiction style, blending meticulous fact-checking with engaging storytelling.

 
The book is structured around three main sections, starting with legendary matches that defined eras. It then examines significant upsets, and concludes by celebrating the iconic players who have graced the World Cup. This approach provides readers with a deeper understanding of the World Cup's historical significance, its impact on global culture, and the unforgettable stories behind its most memorable moments.

  • Between the Sunset and the Sea: A View of 16 British Mountains - cover

    Between the Sunset and the Sea:...

    ‘I watched the mirror for a last view, for now, of the frozen mountains of Glen Coe. As the road bent and the outline of Buachaille Etive Mor slid into sight, I did what I always did, and always would. I felt for that flutter of awe and that indefinable, unmistakable quickening of the pulse.’ 
    In the late 18th century, mountains shifted from being universally reviled to becoming the most inspiring things on earth. Simply put, the monsters became muses – and an entire artistic movement was born. This movement became a love affair, the love affair became an obsession, and gradually but surely, obsession became lifestyle as mountains became stitched into the fabric of the British cultural tapestry. 
    In his compelling new book, Simon Ingram explores how mountains became such a preoccupation for the modern western imagination, weaving his own adventures into a powerful narrative which provides a kind of experiential hit list for people who don’t have the time nor the will to climb a thousand mountains. 
    For some of these mountains, the most amazing thing about them might be the journey they’ve taken to get here. Others, the tales of science, endeavour and art that have played out on their slopes. The mythology they’re drenched in. The history they’ve seen. The genius they’ve inspired. The danger that draws people to them. The life that clusters around them, human and otherwise. The extreme weather they conjure. The adventure they fuel. The way that some raise the hairs on the back of your neck, and trigger powerful, strange emotions. And moreover, what they’re like to be amidst, under, on – just what that indefinable quality is that the British mountains wield which takes possession of you so powerfully, and never goes away. 
    Ingram takes us high into the rafters of Britain’s most forbidding, unflinching and unchanging wild places through all the seasons of the year – from the first blush of spring to the deepest, darkest bite of the mountain winter. From Beinn Dearg to Ben Nevis, he takes us on a journey spanning sixteen of Britain’s most evocative mountainous landscapes, and what they mean to us today. 
    Ingram's Between the Sunset and the Sea is not just a book, it's a journey that takes you through the most evocative landscapes of Britain, making it a top pick for travel and recreation enthusiasts. The author's love for mountaineering is palpable in every page, making it a must-read for sports lovers. 
    For fans of John D Burns (The Hot Tent Diaries), Tom Prentice (The Munros), Robert Macfarlane (Desert Solitaire), Ed Viesturs (The Mountain), and Toby Carr (Moderate Becoming Good Later).

    These days you can play a round on the ice floes in the Arctic, in the war zones of Afghanistan and Iraq and on the plains of Africa.
    		 
    The rich history of the sport has produced a wealth of screwball, outlandish and just plain weird tales:
    		Golf was invented in Scotland over 500 years ago, but the Chinese claim a similar game as far back as 943 AD.
    		In a three-day span on a course in Wales, a mother, father and son each made a hole-in-one; the odds of this feat are at least 10,000,000 to one.
    		The Toonik Tyme Festival in Nunavut features a nine-hole golf tournament on sea ice with fluorescent balls and parka-clad golfers at Temperatures of -50 degrees Celsius.
    		Four-time long-drive champion Jason Zuback once drove a golf ball over 700 yards on an airport runway.
    		Eight of the world’s oldest golf clubs owned by the Royal Troon Golf Club in Scotland are worth at least $5 million.

    Ao longo de quase duas décadas, entre 1990 a 2007, tínhamos as duas principais marcas nacionais, que realizavam os principais campeonatos e circuitos nacionais, investiam em pistas e patrocinavam skatistas, que despontam nos campeonatos mundiais subindo ao pódio e levando títulos. Tudo isso inserido em uma ebulição musical e de moda onde o principal público era de adolescentes e jovens, que viam no skate uma forma de expressão. Desde o carrinho até as roupas streetwear, produziam e reproduziam um comportamento e uma identidade própria. Surgiu um estilo de vida, o skate como um lifestyle, e Curitiba reconhecida como a capital do skate brasileiro. A cultura do skate é resiliente, diversa e se reinventa. Desde 1972, quando tudo era desconhecido e novo, os pioneiros do skate paranaense criaram as referências. A nossa essência começou ali. E o skate passou de mão em mão, evoluiu de geração para geração. A criatividade e a liberdade movem nossa história do skate. É o que buscamos expressar neste livro.
