Orion Brian Clough: Nobody Ever Says Thank You: The Biography by Jonathan Wilson
Vendor: Books4people.co.uk Price: 8.95 £ (+2.99 £)The final word on Brian Clough In this first full, critical biography, Jonathan Wilson draws an intimate and powerful portrait of one of England's greatest football managers, Brian Clough, and his right-hand man, Peter Taylor. It was in the unforgiving world of post-war football where their identities and reputations were made - a world where, as Clough and Taylor's mentor Harry Storer once said, 'Nobody ever says thank you.' Nonetheless, Clough brought the gleam of silverware to the depressed East Midlands of the 1970s. Initial triumph at Derby was followed by a sudden departure and a traumatic 44 days at Leeds. By the end of a frazzled 1974, Clough was set up for life financially, but also hardened to the realities of football. By the time he was at Forest, Clough's mask was almost permanently donned: a persona based on brashness and conflict. Drink fuelled the controversies and the colourful character; it heightened the razor-sharp wit and was a salve for the highs of football that never lasted long enough, and for the lows that inevitably followed. Wilson's account is the definitive portrait of this complex and enduring man.

Vendor: Books4people.co.uk Price: 7.99 £ (+2.99 £)Every night, above our heads, a drama of epic proportions is playing out. Diamond planets, zombie stars, black holes heavier than a billion Suns. The cast of characters is extraordinary, and each one has its own incredible story to tell. We once thought of our Earth as unique, but we have now discovered thousands of alien planets, and that’s barely a fraction of the worlds that are out there. And there are more stars in the Universe than grains of sand on every planet in the Solar System. But amid all this vastness, the Milky Way Galaxy, our Sun and the Earth are home to the only known life in the Universe – at least for now. With a foreword from Professor Brian Cox, and access to all the latest stunning NASA photography, Andrew Cohen takes readers on a voyage of discovery, via the probes and telescopes exploring the outer reaches of our galaxy, revealing how it was formed and how it will inevitably be destroyed by the enigmatic black hole at its heart. And beyond our galaxy, the expanding Universe, which holds clues to the biggest mystery of all – how did it all begin? We now know more about those first moments of existence than we ever thought possible, and hidden in this story of how it all began are the clues to the fate of the Universe itself and everything in it.

HARPERCOLLINS Robin Hobb The Liveship Traders Trilogy Collection 3 Books Set
Vendor: Books4people.co.uk Price: 21.99 £ (+2.99 £)1. Ship of Magic Gripping first instalment of a new series from the author of The Farseer Trilogy.Amazon.co.uk ReviewRobin Hobb; author of the Farseer trilogy; has returned to that world for a new series. Ship of Magic is a sea tale; reminiscent of Moby Dick and Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey/Maturin series in its details of shipboard life. It is also a fantasy adventure with sea serpents; pirates and all sorts of magic. The 'liveships' have distinct personalities and partner with specific people; somewhat like Anne McCaffrey's Brain ships and their Brawns; though these are trading ships and have full crews. 2. Ship of Destiny The triumphant conclusion to the magnificent Liveship Traders Robin Hobb's books combine heroic adventures by land and sea with a passionate urgency about the morality which underlies her character's deeds. Ship of Destiny; the third in The Liveship Traders trilogy; involves us further with the efforts of the Vestrit family to reclaim the fortunes which war and piracy have cost them; raising interesting questions about the sources of even an attractive family's wealth. It is clear that the liveships Vivacia and Paragon were carved from husks which should have hatched dragons; that the attractive personalities of the figureheads are only pale shadows of the autonomous beings they might have been. Malta Vestrit has freed the last of the real dragons from an underground prison; and he is not especially grateful. 3. The Mad Ship The magic and mayhem continue in this thrilling second instalment of Hobb's new series. High heroic fantasy has rarely paid enough attention to ships and sailors; the lifeblood; after all; of trade and survival in a non-technological world. In her Liveship Traders series; Robin Hobb more than makes up for this with a sequence in which economic survival is the principal objective of the merchant family; the Vestrits; who provide most of her viewpoint characters. The Mad Ship takes up their adventures where Ship of Magic left off; with young would-be priest Wintrow the captive of the pirate Kennit and bonded to the living figurehead of the family ship Vivacia.
