  Bat, Ball and Field is a wonderful foray into the history and culture of cricket. 
  ‘Hotten is not just good, he is one of the best’ Cricketer 
  Chronicling the evolution of the sport since its earliest years, highlighting transcendent moments as well as tragedies, Jon Hotten lifts the seemingly impregnable veil from the Laws, batting strokes, types of bowling and the sometimes absurd names given to where fielders stand, allowing anyone a pathway into enjoying the sport, and an introductory immersion into its long history. 
  This book is divided into the three parts that make up the fundamental elements of cricket: bat, ball and field. Their harmony produces cricket’s unique environment; their centuries’ long conflict provides its innovation, adaptability and vast psychological hinterland. These sections unite to map out in a completely original way the story of the sport that began as a country pursuit and is now followed by billions across the world. 
  Hotten's autobiography is a humorous and insightful exploration of cricket's history in Britain and Europe. His popular writing style and deep understanding of the sport make this book a top pick for sports enthusiasts. 
  For fans of Shaun Assael (The Murder of Sonny Liston), Geoffrey C. Ward (Before the Trumpet), Stefan Szymanski (It's Football, Not Soccer), Tim Wigmore (Test Cricket), and Barry Johnston (The Wit of Cricket).

  Clandestine Cabals - History's...

  Throughout history, secret societies have captivated the human imagination, their names whispered in shadowy corners, their rituals shrouded in secrecy. These clandestine groups, often operating in the hidden recesses of society, have been associated with the most significant events in world history, from political upheavals to revolutions. Despite the efforts of many to uncover their mysteries, much of what we know about them remains speculative, fueling a fascination that spans generations. But what drives this intrigue? Is it the promise of power, knowledge, or the allure of forbidden truths that draws people to these societies? 
  Secret societies are as old as civilization itself. From the ancient mystery schools of Egypt and Greece to the modern-day shadow organizations influencing global events, these groups have often been at the forefront of societal change, albeit behind the scenes. They are typically defined by their closed membership, strict initiation rites, and exclusive access to knowledge or practices that the outside world is not privy to. This secrecy has often been a point of both fascination and suspicion. Some view these societies as forces of good, safeguarding wisdom or advancing human progress, while others see them as dark, insidious entities working behind closed doors to manipulate world events for their own gain. 
  The historical roots of these secret organizations stretch back to times when religious, political, or philosophical beliefs were closely guarded. Ancient societies, such as the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans, established mystery schools where knowledge was passed down only to those deemed worthy. These teachings often involved esoteric wisdom, such as alchemy, astrology, or sacred geometry, and were believed to hold the key to unlocking hidden truths about the universe and humanity's place within it.
