Synopsis

'A superb book and a must-read for any City fan.' - DANIEL TAYLOR, senior writer, The Athletic

'A thorough and delicious retelling of perhaps not the most successful of European journeys, but definitely the most interesting ... Fantastic.' - DAVID MOONEY, BBC Radio 5 Live

'A book that brilliantly explodes the myth that City have no history or pedigree in Europe.' - SIMON MULLOCK, chief football writer, Sunday Mirror


THE ESSENTIAL NEW HISTORY OF MANCHESTER CITY'S EUROPEAN TRIUMPHS AND TRAGEDIES
FEATURING A FOREWORD BY CITY LEGEND FRANCIS LEE


As one of the first English sides to taste glory in Europe, lifting the Cup Winners' Cup in 1970, City looked set for life among the continent's elite. But as their domestic fortunes went from bad to worse to absolute calamity, the wilderness returned.

Avid City fan and respected journalist Simon Curtis dusts off the details of some truly intoxicating away days. Filled with tales of the club's travelling support and the evocative accounts of the journalists who saw the team of the Seventies, Curtis tells the story of a club steeped in history, defiantly refusing to bow to pomp and ceremony as it goes about lifting the ultimate prize.

After a spectacular rebuild and having achieved all there is to achieve on the domestic stage, including a record-breaking 100-point season in 2017-18, City's deep-pocketed owners have their sights firmly set on European glory once more. Yet for all their recent success at home, they are anything but welcome guests at Europe's top table.

    A tale of love, life, and finding your way home... 
    At age nine, as Susanna sat on a horse for the first time, an unbreakable bond was forged. It set the stage for a lifelong odyssey for this determined girl and her devotion to her equine companions. 
    From lush Brazilian rainforests to serene Swedish farms, from thrilling British derby banks to the picturesque wine hills of France, this is a story that spans continents, careers, and crossroads. From driven Olympians to bold bullfighters, from kind horsemanship trainers to daring jumpers, each character who crossed her path shone a light on who she yearned to be. 
    But as she took the road less traveled, Susanna found herself fighting the constant pressure to fit the norm and perform. She battled the societal traps of who she was expected to be, but, in the end, through her bond with her horse, she found a way to break free. When she did, she found herself living her dream life, even before she knew what it entailed. 
    Horse Girl is an enchanting memoir of a woman and her unwavering connection to her horses. It’s a tale of love, life, and finding your way home.

    Emergency preparedness is no longer an option—it is a necessity. With the increasing frequency of natural disasters, pandemics, and unforeseen crises, individuals and communities must be ready to respond at a moment’s notice. Whether it’s a hurricane, wildfire, power outage, or civil unrest, the ability to react swiftly can mean the difference between safety and catastrophe. Unfortunately, too many people remain unprepared, relying on the assumption that government agencies or emergency responders will handle everything. While these organizations play a crucial role, personal preparedness is the first line of defense in any crisis.  
      
    One of the most significant misconceptions about emergency preparedness is that disasters are rare or unlikely to happen. However, global trends suggest otherwise. Climate change has intensified storms, heatwaves, and flooding events, making them more frequent and severe. Earthquakes and wildfires continue to threaten communities worldwide. Beyond natural disasters, cyberattacks, supply chain disruptions, and public health emergencies have highlighted vulnerabilities in modern societies. The COVID-19 pandemic was a stark reminder of how quickly daily life can be upended, leaving many scrambling for essential supplies and reliable information.  
      
    Preparedness goes beyond simply stocking up on food and water. It involves understanding risks, developing an action plan, and ensuring that essential resources are available when needed. A well-thought-out emergency plan includes knowing evacuation routes, securing important documents, and maintaining a communication strategy with family and friends. In an emergency, panic and confusion can lead to dangerous decisions. Those who prepare in advance are better equipped to make rational choices and protect themselves and their loved ones.
