Beschreibung

The ultimate World Cup showdown, in the words of those who were there.

From 1997 to 2003 England and Australia battled for domination of the rugby world in one of the greatest rivalries the sport has ever known. In The Men in the Arena, William Hill shortlisted authors Peter Burns and Tom English explore every aspect of the teams’ journey to the 2003 Rugby World Cup final, telling the story primarily in the words of the protagonists at the center of the battle.

Featuring exclusive new interviews with players and coaches from both teams plus an array of superstars who faced them from New Zealand, Ireland, France, Wales and beyond, this is the inside story like it has never been told before.

'A splendid re-telling of English rugby's most celebrated story. Cracking stuff from start to finish' - Robert Kiston, The Guardian

    “Sapiens” is a broad and thought-provoking analysis of human history, from its origins to its possible future. Harari argues that humanity has been shaped by a series of key revolutions: the Cognitive Revolution, the Agricultural Revolution, the Scientific Revolution, and the Industrial Revolution. Through these transformations, humans have managed to develop complex civilizations, overcome biological barriers, and alter the course of nature—though at a significant cost to other species and to themselves.  
     Harari explains that the success of scientific knowledge was due to its alliance with capitalism and imperialism. The exploration of the world was financed by states and merchants seeking wealth and new territories. The European conquest of America, for example, was driven not only by military technology but also by the desire to gain new sources of income and expand markets.  
     The greatest challenge we face is not technological but philosophical: What do we want to become? Will we continue to pursue growth without considering its human and ecological costs? Or will we find ways to redefine the meaning of success and happiness? Harari leaves us with one certainty: the future is unwritten, but its course will depend on our ability to question the stories we tell ourselves.  
     The book invites reflection on the role of humans in history and the kind of future we want to build.

    Spiritualism in the Age of Sherlock Holmes and Edgar Allan Poe 
     
     
     
    A woman wearing a black veil convenes a séance. A magician puts a volunteer into a trance. A fortune-teller leans over a crystal ball. Everyone knows what Victorian mysticism looks like because our modern imagery, language, and practice of magic borrows heavily from the Victorians. But we have little understanding of its spiritual, cultural, and historical foundations. 
     
     
     
    What made the Victorians turn to mediumship, hypnotism, and fortune-telling? What were they afraid of? What were they seeking? 
     
     
     
    This book explores the history of automatic writing, cartomancy, clairvoyance, and more. It reveals how Victorian belief in ghosts, fairies, and nature spirits shaped our celebrations of Halloween and Christmas. With historic examples and hands-on exercises, you will discover how spiritualism in the time of Jack the Ripper, Jane Eyre, "A Christmas Carol," and Dracula left such a profound impact on both the past and present.
