Carra: My Autobiography - Jamie Carragher - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

For the Anfield faithful, Jamie Carragher represents everything that is great about Liverpool Football Club, prompting the Kop to sing ''we all dream of a team of Carraghers''. The club''s vice-captain, longest-serving player and one of a select band of players to have made more than 500 appearances for the Reds, Carra never gives less than 100 per cent for the cause. He is the embodiment of old-fashioned football values - a rarity in the modern game - honest and uncompromising.In Carra: My Autobiography , the Liverpool defender takes us deep into the heart of Anfield, into the club''s past glories and its uncertain future. In his typically down-to-earth style, Carra reveals what made him discard his blue Evertonian roots to become a fully fledged Red, how he mended his wild ways to become a true professional and a multiple trophy-winner, and the truth about a succession of managers - Evans, Houllier, Benítez - in the hottest seat in football. A Scouser through and through, Carra also has some forthright views on the England team, and tells why he rejected calls to return to the international fold.Full of sensational stories and controversial opinions, of glory and heartbreak on and off the pitch, Carra: My Autobiography is a football book unlike any other. The authentic voice of Anfield, Carra is one of the Bootroom Boys in true Liverpool tradition, and is as committed on the page as in every game he has played.

Black and White Thinking - Dr Kevin Dutton - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Black and White Thinking - Dr Kevin Dutton - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

A Malcolm Gladwell, Susan Cain, Daniel Pink and Adam Grant NEXT BIG IDEA book club read about how to avoid the pitfalls of too little, and too much, complexity. ''Essential insights into the character of human choice and decision-making.'' ROBERT CIALDINI, bestselling author of Influence ________ In this groundbreaking exploration of how our brains work, psychologist Professor Kevin Dutton explains that by understanding the nature of our hardwired black and white thinking we are better equipped to negotiate life''s grey zones and make subtler and smarter decisions.Our brains are hardwired to sort, categorize and draw lines. It''s how we navigate the kaleidoscope of everyday information. Yet imagine failing an exam by a mere 1 per cent. Or being caught speeding at just 1 mph over the speed limit. We have to draw the line somewhere, we say. But lines can be unhelpful or even dangerous when drawn where they aren''t wanted, or in too thick a hand. By thinking in terms of '' ''them'' or ''us'' and ''this'' or ''that'' we isolate ourselves from ideas we don''t agree with and people who are not the same as us. We fail to listen to the other side of the argument and beliefs become polarized. Intolerance and extremism flourish. The human race has survived by making binary decisions, but such thinking might also destroy us. We may be programmed to think in black and white but rainbow thinking is the key to our cognitive future.__________ ''Fascinating, important and entirely convincing.'' SIR PHILIP PULLMAN

Target Basra - Mike Rossiter - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Target Basra - Mike Rossiter - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

In the dead of night on 20 March 2003, Royal Navy Marines from 40 and 42 Commando board a fleet of twenty helicopters. With faces blackened and mouths dry at the thought of what lies ahead, they have been given the job of capturing the oil pipelines and pumping stations through which 90 per cent of Iraq''s oil is exported, to seal off the whole of the Faw peninsula and hold it against any counter-attack by the Iraqi Army. They will be the first troops on the ground in Iraq, literally kicking the door down. They will also suffer the first allied casualties in the war to overthrow Saddam Hussein.Operation Telic was a bold and audacious break with military doctrine, a night-time airborne assault against heavily defended positions. With the Commandos lightly armed and isolated, the night-time landing was just the beginning. They were engaged in a series of fast-moving and hard-fought battles as they moved rapidly north until they reached the outskirts of Basra. Finally, after a two-day battle that broke the back of the Iraqi resistance, and eighteen days after their first contact with the enemy, Royal Marine Commandos entered the presidential palace in Basra.Told from the perspective, and with the cooperation of officers and men in the Royal Navy and the Royal Marines, Target Basra is a story of courage, fortitude and the harsh realities of modern war, fought in the context of the turmoil of the Middle East.

A Child Against All Odds - Robert Winston - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

A Child Against All Odds - Robert Winston - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Compared to the famously fecund rabbit, for whom a single act of coitus has a 90% chance of creating a litter of up to 12 rabbits, humans are very infertile animals. Here in the UK, the average chance of conception is about 18% per month. And in 98% of cases, successful conception leads only to the birth of a single infant. It is unsurprising then that huge efforts have been made to increase our fertility. In vitro fertilisation, first attempted one hundred years ago, has now become big business. Market forces, combined with the desperation of many couples to fulfil their biological imperative, have pushed doctors and scientists closer to the boundaries of what is desirable or ethical. And as we are increasingly able to access and control the embryo, the opportunities of altering human genetics to eradicate disease, but also to change human characteristics, becomes a real, and to some, frightening possibility. A Child Against All Odds is a ground-breaking book for Robert Winston as it falls squarely in his area of expertise. It combines his work at Hammersmith Hospital as one of the country''s leading fertility specialists, with a hard-hitting, sometimes humorous, often controversial look at the scientific, social and ethical background of man''s struggle to discover and control the secrets of reproduction. Drawing on personal and professional experience, it is the definitive account of modern reproductive technology from a practitioner who has spent his professional life at the forefront of this most fascinating and emotive area of science.

The Restless Dead - Simon Beckett - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

* Don''t miss the Paramount+ Original TV series - ''THE CHEMISTRY OF DEATH'' * Based on The Chemistry of Death and Written in Bone - starring Harry Treadaway as Dr David Hunter ''Composed of over sixty per cent water itself, a human body isn''t naturally buoyant. It will float only for as long as there is air in its lungs, before gradually sinking to the bottom as the air seeps out. If the water is very cold or deep, it will remain there, undergoing a slow, dark dissolution that can take years. But if the water is warm enough for bacteria to feed and multiply, then it will continue to decompose. Gases will build up in the intestines, increasing the body''s buoyancy until it floats again. And the dead will literally rise . . . '' Once one of the country''s most respected forensics experts, Dr David Hunter is facing an uncertain professional - and personal - future. So when he gets a call from Essex police, he''s eager for the chance to assist them.A badly decomposed body has been found in a desolate area of tidal mudflats and saltmarsh called the Backwaters. Under pressure to close the case, the police want Hunter to help with the recovery and identification.It''s thought the remains are those of Leo Villiers, the son of a prominent businessman who vanished weeks ago. To complicate matters, it was rumoured that Villiers was having an affair with a local woman. And she too is missing.But Hunter has his doubts about the identity. He knows the condition of the unrecognizable body could hide a multitude of sins. Then more remains are discovered - and these remote wetlands begin to give up their secrets . . .With its eerie, claustrophobic sense of place, viscerally authentic detail and explosive heart-in-mouth moments, The Restless Dead offers a masterclass in crime fiction and marks the stunning return of one of the genre''s best.

Between Two Kingdoms - Suleika Jaouad - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Between Two Kingdoms - Suleika Jaouad - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

As seen in AMERICAN SYMPHONY on Netflix with Jon Batiste''A propulsive, soulful story of mourning and gratitude - and an intimate portrait of one woman''s sojourn in the wilderness between life and death.'' TARA WESTOVER, author of Educated __________ We all face moments that bring us to our knees: heartbreak, trauma, illness. When things don''t go to plan this is the book to reach for - an inspirational memoir about what we can learn about life from a brush with death. At just twenty-two, on the cusp of adult life, Suleika Jaouad was diagnosed with leukemia and given a 35 per cent chance of survival. For the next five years, her world comprised four white walls, a hospital bed, fluorescent lights, tubes and wires. She became patient 5624. At twenty-seven, and celebrating her first year of remission, Suleika realized that, having survived, she now had no idea how to live. And so she set out to meet some of the many strangers who had written to her about their experiences of life, death, healing and recovery in response to her Emmy-Award winning New York Times column, ''Life Interrupted''. Between Two Kingdoms is the result. Drawing on Suleika''s TED Talk ''What almost dying taught me about living'' with over 4 million views, it illuminates universal questions about how we live, mourn, heal and grow up, and what it means to begin again.__________ Praise for Between Two Kingdoms : ''A work of breathtaking creativity and heart-stopping humanity.'' ELIZABETH GILBERT, author of Eat Pray Love ''A beautiful, elegant and heart-breaking book that provides a glimpse into the kingdom of illness.'' SIDDHARTHA MUKHERJEE, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Emperor of All Maladies ''No more doomscrolling. Read this book instead... Full of wisdom and resilience.'' ADAM GRANT, author of Originals ''A deeply touching account of learning to live in the now, because nothing else is promised. I loved it.'' KATHRYN MANNIX, author of With the End in Mind
