Flaptekst van het boek over de Engelse automodellen Rover P5 en P5B

The car favoured by British Prime Ministers and the Queen. This is an essential guide to one of Britain’s most respected cars.

The Rover P5 and P5B were the flagship Rover models throughout the 1960s and early 1970s. These cars were the official transport for prime ministers from Edward Heath to Margaret Thatcher and also chosen by Queen Elizabeth II as her personal car. The Rover P5 is highly regarded in the classic car world today.

In this readable and authoritative book, acknowledged Rover expert James Taylor tells the story of the original six-cylinder P5 and that of its P5B successor with a V8 engine originally designed by Buick. He also covers rally cars and the specials that were adapted for government, military and royal use. Featuring archive and colour photography, and incorporating recent research, this is an essential guide to one of Britain’s most respected cars.

James Taylor is the author of several dozen books on motoring history, for a number of different publishers. An expert on the post-war British motor industry, he has a special interest in the products of the Rover car company. He is a former editor of Land Rover Enthusiast magazine.

Flaptekst van het boek over de Triumph Razoredge auto

The post-war traditional coach-built Triumph cars. Published to coincide with the Golden Anniversary of the Triumph Razoredge Owners Club.

The Triumph Razoredge cars were the last of the traditionally styled British coach-built cars to be produced in the post-war period. In this, the first book to be devoted to the various models under the Razoredge name between 1946 and 1954, Triumph Razoredge expert John Bath describes the development of the models after the acquisition of Triumph by the Standard Motor Company in 1944. The models, which were designed to compete with upmarket cars produced by Rover, Jaguar and others, included the 1800 saloon, the 2000 saloon, both versions of the Triumph Renown and the limousine version. The various evolutions and changes in the models, such as the use of a Standard chassis and the Standard Vanguard drivetrain, as well as both interior and exterior design modifications, are documented here. A smaller model produced by Triumph, known as the Mayflower, which was largely aimed at the American market, is also touched on.

Discover the fascinating story of the history of reported UFO sightings in Britain from the early 1900s to the present day.

Cases include mystery airships of 1909 at Peterborough and the eastern counties, the Burton Dassett ghost lights of 1923, RAF gremlins in the Second World War, the Newbiggin abduction in 1942, Dorothy Kilgallen and the UK saucer crash of 1945, the Ranton encounter of 1954, the Hythe Mothman in 1963 which predates the infamous American sightings of a similar creature by four years, the RAF UFO Cosford landing in 1963, the Rendlesham Forest incident in 1980, and many others.

Drawing on unpublished archives of British UFO material assembled by long-defunct UFO research groups, former RAF and ROC officers and other archive accounts, rare articles and cuttings of UFO sightings and incidents in the UK during of the twentieth century, including the Second World War and up to recent times, author and military historian Neil R.

Flaptekst van het boek over voetbalclub Leeds United in de jaren zeventig

The story of Leeds United in the 1970s when the club reached its peak under Manager Don Revie as arguably the best team in Europe although dogged by controversy, before its decline under a sequence of managers following Revie.

Rarely has any club courted as much controversy, ill feeling and bad press as Leeds United in the 1970s. Manager Don Revie had transformed them from a struggling Second Division outfit at the beginning of the 1960s to being arguably the best team in Europe, but they were dogged by the ‘Dirty Leeds’ tag for years. This book covers the period from Leeds United winning their first league championship in 1969 through to the end of 1979, including the heartbreaking treble disappointment of 1970, the FA Cup win in 1972, the shock defeat against Sunderland in 1973, the second title triumph of 1974 and the devastating defeat to Bayern Munch in the 1975 European Cup final. Read about the controversies of match-fixing allegations against Don Revie and the succession of managers who failed to match up to Revie’s legacy, including Brian Clough and Jock Stein. The period was littered with controversy, criticism and some famous feuds with Bob Stokoe, Alan Hardaker and Brian Clough as United singlehandedly ushered in an era of near-to-the-knuckle professionalism and gamesmanship.

Dave Tomlinson is the owner of the Mighty Whites website and a passionate Leeds United fan. He has written a number of books on sport and Leeds United, including three books for Amberley Publishing – Leeds United: A History, Leeds United in the 1980s en 1990s, Leeds United in the 21st Century and Billy Bremner: Fifty Defining Fixtures. He lives in Leeds.

Flaptekst van het boek over geschiedenis van de stad Brighton

A celebration of Brighton’s individual and often strange history – from eccentric characters to odd events and places.

Brighton and Hove is one of England’s most recent cities and also one of its most colourful and eccentric. It developed as a fashionable resort in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, becoming inextricably linked with the extravagant behaviour of George IV and his fantastical Pavilion. In this book author Christopher Horlock delves into lesser-known but fascinating tales from Brighton’s past. Readers will find stories of the man who walked round the world wearing a medieval iron helmet, a shark attack straight out of the film Jaws, the time Brighton built its own version of Nelson’s Column, plus when the streets were full of hundreds of marauding zombies. And it also includes that notorious naked bike ride that takes place each year.

Quirky Brighton celebrates the unusual and bizarre history of the town and its characters over the years. This fascinating insight into Brighton (and occasionally Hove) will interest all those who want to know more about its curious history.

Christopher Horlock is an author and avid collector of old photographs of Brighton. He writes regularly for ‘Sussex Life’ magazine and has previously written history books for a local publisher as well Amberley.

Flaptekst van het memoir over de West-Midlands in Engeland

Part personal memoir, part cultural history, West is a compendium of ‘tales’, telling the story of a unique geographical and literary landscape – the western Midlands of England. It is a magpie’s nest, a melange of anecdotes, folk legends, ghost stories and fairy tales. But more than this, it is a record of a land and its people, told over 2,000 years of history – a land that birthed both industrial and cultural revolutions.

A native of the area, Martin Wall takes us on a search for lost time in the Lost Lands of the west, charting the liminal energies which have so influenced our literature – and himself. Shamelessly nostalgic, sometimes tender, sometimes brutal, these tales invite us to immerse ourselves in the past, present and future, to become ‘unstuck in time’.

How were the lands ‘lost’? The author laments the decline and fall of a succession of cultures, from the Celtic principality of Pengwern and the mighty kingdom of Mercia to the end of heavy industry in the late twentieth century. With a thoughtful foreword by Robert Plant, West takes history to a new imaginative edge.

Martin Wall inherited his passionate interest in local history and folklore from his father and has been writing about these subjects for ten years. He lectures historical groups on a variety of subjects and acts as a gallery interpreter in his spare time. He is the author of ‘Warriors and Kings’, ‘The Anglo Saxon Age’ and ‘The Magical History of Britain’.

Flaptekst van het fotoboek van de Engelse stad Liverpool

A stunning collection of images celebrating the face of the city of Liverpool today, capturing what makes this city special.

In the eighteenth century, Liverpool’s position as a favoured port for Britain’s growing Atlantic trade to the West Indies and America allowed it to expand rapidly. It soon became one of the largest and richest cities in the country, and the architectural legacy of the city’s wealth can still be seen today. In the last 100 years, Liverpool’s fortunes have changed, but although it was heavily bombed during the Second World War and experienced decline afterwards through the loss of many of its industries, the city has been regenerated in recent decades, becoming European City of Culture and having areas granted World Heritage Sites. It is now a leading economic and cultural centre, with new developments alongside its architectural legacy transforming the city today.

In Liverpool in Photographs Mark McNeill celebrates the changing face of the city in a collection of stunning images that portray not just the new buildings that characterise modern Liverpool, but also how the older parts survive alongside them. For all those who are proud to live and work in Liverpool, as well as those visiting, this book is a must. Look through these photographs and you will quickly see the enduring fascination of this special city.

Mark McNeill is a professional photographer based in the North West of England. He specialises in landscape photography and also has a particular interest in night-time photography and astrophotography. In 2018 he was highly commended in the prestigious Astronomy Photographer of the Year competition held by the Royal Observatory Greenwich celebrating the very best in astrophotography across the globe, judged by a panel of experts from the worlds of art and astronomy.

Flaptekst van het boek over Isle of Wight

This beautifully photographed selection of fifty of the Isle of Wight’s most precious assets shows what makes it such a popular destination.

Lying just a few miles off the Hampshire coast, the Isle of Wight is famous for its attractive landscape and historical connections. Its coastal scenery is varied, dotted with towns and fortifications built through the centuries to repel invaders, with a chalk downland spine to the island. Carisbrooke Castle held King Charles I during the English Civil War and royal connections continued with Queen Victoria, who made her home on the island at Osborne House. Other eminent Victorians followed including the poet Tennyson and the island became popular with tourists and holidaymakers. Cowes became synonymous with yacht racing and other attractions have been developed in the last century. Marconi sent the world’s very first wireless transmission from the Needles Park while the nearby Needles Battery became the testing site for Britain’s independent rocket-building programme in the 1960s.

50 Gems of the Isle of Wight explores the many places and their history that make this unique island so special, including natural features, towns and villages, buildings and places of historical interest. Alongside justly famous attractions, others will be relatively unknown but all have an interesting story to tell.

Andrew Powell-Thomas writes about military history, local heritage and children’s fiction books, regularly speaking at events, libraries, schools and literary festivals across the South-West. He lives in Somerset with his wife and two young sons and with more books and events planned.
