Flaptekst van het boek over de Engelse voetbalclub Luton Town

The story of Luton Town FC from 2014 to the present-day when the club rose from non-League to the Premier League, the only club to achieve this feat.

For five seasons from 2009-10 Luton Town FC were a non-League side. The club, which had known success for several periods in its history in the top division of English football, had been brought to this low point due to mismanagement and financial irregularities. Finally, after years of play-off pain Luton Town FC won promotion from the Conference Premier back to the League in 2013-14. This was the start of their unprecedented journey which saw Luton Town rise to the Premier League over the next nine years. To date, no other club has achieved this feat. This is the remarkable story of how this club with a tiny budget managed to reach the Premier League in a space of less than a decade. A nail-biting win on penalties in the Championship play off final at Wembley in 2023 saw Luton hosting some of the richest clubs in the world in arguably the world’s most competitive football league in its humble long-standing Kenilworth Road stadium at the start of 2023-24.

In this book, Rob Hadgraft who has been a season-ticket holder at Luton Town since the 1970s tells the story of Luton’s remarkable and unprecedented rise, widely acknowledged in the media as ‘football’s greatest fairytale’, ‘miraculous’ and ‘against all odds’. The rise from non-League obscurity in 2014 to arrival at football’s top table in 2023 is little short of a miracle – especially given Luton’s self-imposed budgetary restrictions and their ancient and tiny stadium. He tells the story from the viewpoint of a committed follower, mixing humour with the more serious background aspects of the journey.

Rob Hadgraft was in 1955 in Luton. He spent sixteen years working in regional newspapers as a news and sports reporter and sub-editor, before a spell in public relations in London. Within ten years or so of turning freelance in the year 2000, some sixteen sports books in his name had been published, 11 of them focussing on football club history, plus a series of five acclaimed biographies of famous runners of yesteryear. He has been short-listed for the William Hill Sportsbook of the Year award, and is a well-known author, blogger and the Luton Town Supporters’ Club’s editor.

Flaptekst van het boek over de schepen die betrokken waren bij de scheepsramp van de Titanic

The fascinating stories of each of the ships involved in the Titanic disaster. Will appeal to all those with an interest in the Titanic as well as those interested in maritime history.

On the night of 14-15 April 1912 RMS Titanic sank with the loss of around 1500 people after hitting an iceberg. The ship was on its maiden voyage across the Atlantic to New York and it was the world’s worst shipping disaster at that time. The dramatic events surrounding the tragedy have captured the world’s imagination ever since and yet the story covers many more ships than just Titanic itself – from sister ships and tenders bringing out the passengers and mail, to ice patrol vessels, the rescue ships that raced to the scene when disaster struck and those who arrived later and picked up the bodies.

Controversy surrounded some ships such as Californian immediately after the disaster, Carpathia and Mesaba later ended up on the seabed themselves, the liner Asturias not only had passengers going overboard but a suicide that could have turned into a murder, others such as Mackay-Bennett and Britannic featured in later documentaries, but all these ships had their own fascinating careers, some serving their country as well as their owners, transporting or evacuating troops in wartime, experiencing collisions and being torpedoed by U-boat and all sailed in an era when today’s safety rules and sophisticated chart data fed by a global positioning system did not exist.

In The Titanic Fleet: The Ships Involved in the Titanic Disaster maritime author Richard M. Jones reveals the stories behind the ships involved in the Titanic disaster. The career of each vessel is told from start to finish, including its eventual fate and how it links into the Titanic story. Illustrated throughout, it will appeal to all those with an interest in the Titanic as well as those interested in maritime history.

Richard M. Jones is a historian specialising in maritime and military topics including shipwrecks and other disasters, and the First and Second World Wars, and the history of Bridlington. He has published numerous books on these subjects.

Flaptekst van het boek over Stonehenge van Patricia Southern

A comprehensive illustrated history of the prehistoric megalithic structure at Stonehenge and those who built it.

Stonehenge is the best known but least understood prehistoric monument in the British Isles. Other stone circles are impressive and atmospheric, but none approach the sophistication of Stonehenge. The stones visible today represent the final phase of a monument that was begun about 5,000 years ago, and altered several times during the next fifteen centuries, before it was finally abandoned. The site may have been a sacred place for at least 10,000 years, reaching back to about 8,000 BC, when people of the Mesolithic era began to set up pine totem poles, the holes for which were found in excavations close to the circle.

Patricia Southern’s new history considers the conflicting theories around how it was built with such precision and why. Did the stones arrive at Stonehenge by humans, or were they transported there by glaciers long before the first monument was built? Was it a religious centre for unknown rites and ceremonies? Did it function as an observatory for the sun and the moon, a sort of stone calendar to mark the seasons and the appropriate festivals? One thing it never was, a Druid temple. It was built, used, and abandoned long before the ancient Druids came on the scene, but their modern counterparts have claimed it, so in that sense it is still a temple, just as it can be for any other visitors to this important World Heritage Site. Highly illustrated with nearly 100 colour photographs and drawings.

Patricia Southern is an acknowledged expert on the history of ancient Rome. While working full time as a librarian she studied for a BA degree in Ancient History with the external department of the University of London, and for an MPhil in Roman Frontier Studies at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, where she was Librarian of the Archaeology Department for many years. She has written many books on Roman history and contributed numerous articles on Roman history to the BBC History website and the academic Roman studies journal Britannia.

Flaptekst boek over de allerlaatste stoomlocomotieven in dienst

Stunning original photographs illustrate this document of locomotives and railing stock around the world after their working life has come to an end.

As a conclusion to his popular series of industrial railways in the regions around the UK, as well two volumes examining steam locomotives at work in industry around the world, here Gordon Edgar looks at the vanishing steam era worldwide. In the main, this book covers the last quarter of a century, both on main and secondary railway lines and in industry, in countries such as China, Myanmar, Eritrea, and Poland.

With stunning photography and commentary, this book takes you on a tour in search of the last vestiges of everyday working steam locomotives of all gauges, as well as featuring locomotives cast aside and forgotten about. Those few remaining steam operations covered could have an uncertain future, facing today’s commercial and political challenges.

Gordon Edgar has been photographing railways since 1968 and has specialised in the end of main line and industrial steam in the UK. Having served for two decades in the Army Intelligence Corps, since retirement he has devoted his time to his archive of railway photographs. Gordon has contributed to two books on steam railways in China and his photographs have also appeared in several periodicals. An accomplished photographer, Gordon Edgar has written several railway books for Amberley Publishing.

Flaptekst van het boek over de geschiedenis van de spoorwegen

Is it possible to overestimate the impact of the railway in history? Jeremy Black analyses that impact from the beginning to today. And of course it’s not all a triumph. The network of the Congo today operates on three gauges run by separate companies; and a lot of it doesn’t work.

There were 20,000 miles of railways in 1865 and about a million by 2020. Scale has always been a key theme in railway history. In the First World War, the London and North West Railway transported 325,000 miles of barbed wire and over twelve million pairs of army boots. At the end of the twentieth century, Indian Railways sold 4.5 billion tickets annually. With his renowned ability to take the long view of any subject and bring it into sharp focus for the reader, Jeremy Black examines how rail transformed the world. While always shaped by commercial interests, the role of the railway was (and is) strategic in the broadest sense: like Roman roads and Chinese canals, it helped develop the economic links that sustained and strengthened the major powers. For example, the railway was fundamental in integrating the frontiers of settlement with the world economy, in the spread of cultivation and ranching, and in the exploitation of mining opportunities. Rail expanded the ‘logistical space’ of most states.

To give one modern example of the political importance of rail, Ukraine’s railway is on the 1.52 metre gauge, rather than the 1.435 metre one used in Poland and most of Europe. In 2022, Denys Shmyhal, Ukraine’s Prime Minister, declared that the railways there would be rebuilt to the European gauge. This enhanced capability would counter the Russian ability to blockade Ukraine’s Black Sea ports, notably Odessa. The plan was not endorsed by the Kremlin

Jeremy Black was Professor of History at Exeter University. He is a prolific lecturer and writer, the author of over 100 books. Many concern aspects of eighteenth-century British, European and American political, diplomatic and military history but he has also published on the history of the press, cartography, warfare, culture and on the nature and uses of history itself. He sits on the editorial boards of History Today, International History Review, Journal of Military History, and Media History.

Flaptekst van het boek over de oliewinning op de Noordzee

A fascinating history of the recovery of oil in the north sea, written in a lively and accessible style by an expert former master mariner who worked in the fields for over a decade.

Charting the development of the North Sea Oil business from the early days, when oil companies hired seismic ships to go out and use dynamite to try to determine whether there was any oil out there, to the modern day, this is a fascinating history of oil and gas exploration, development and production in the North Sea. This was a drama enacted out of sight of land, in the freezing waters of one of the world’s most hostile seas. All the major oil companies wanted to get in on the act, as well as the traditional Gulf of Mexico ship operators, and the British shipping industry.

Legislation was always frantically trying to catch up with events – but without holding the oil companies back – leading to what read like back-of-an-envelope calculations such as: ‘The emergency plans for the installation must ensure that individuals working in such areas of the platforms have access to life jackets and immersion suits which will enable a thin man – more susceptible to hypothermia than a fat one – to survive for three hours in the water.’

It is a story of appalling conditions, monumental feats of engineering and a new frontier in the race for energy independence.

Victor Gibson is a former master mariner who commanded offshore vessels working in the North Sea between 1975 and 1986. He wrote a guide for shipmasters involved in the offshore industry, Supply Ship Operations, published by Butterworth Heinemann, and subsequently compiled technical documentation for a number of drilling rig owners, as well as contributing articles to specialist journals and acting as a marine representative for rig moves.

Flaptekst boek over de ambulancetreinen van het Britse leger

An illustrated history of British Army ambulance trains from the nineteenth century to the Cold War.

Railway wagons were first used by the British to carry sick and wounded members of the military during the Crimean War in 1855. Specially converted British hospital trains first appeared in the South African War of 1899–1902. In the First and Second World Wars British forces – army and navy – developed an intensive system of ambulance trains with medical staff and facilities on board to ferry the wounded away from the battlefields of Europe to the Channel ports. Ambulance trains were widely used within Great Britain to distribute casualties to hospitals all around the country. Also, in both world wars, the US Army in Europe operated ambulance trains in support of the British using British rolling stock. Their use continued into the Korean War and in the Cold War the British Army of the Rhine had a fleet of ambulance trains ready for use in Germany in the event of conflict in Northern Europe.

Whether your interest is railway, military or medical history, Brian Robertson presents a detailed history of the use of ambulance trains by British forces from their beginnings in the nineteenth century through to the Cold War, featuring rare historical photographs and drawings.

Colonel Brian Robertson was born in North London and educated at Highgate School. He attended the Royal Free Hospital School of Medicine, in London, and qualified as a doctor in 1972. His military service started in the Territorial Army in 1965 in 167 (City of London) Field Ambulance RAMC/TA. He was appointed to a Medical Cadetship in 1970 and following a short service Regular Commission in the Royal Army Medical Corps he transferred to the Army Medical Services TA. He spent 15 years training and operating Ambulance Trains within the British Army of the Rhine during the latter years of the Cold War. Between 1985-1994 he held the appointment of Squadron Commander of the Ambulance Train Squadron RAMC(V) in the rank of Lt Colonel. With the end of the Cold War all British Army Ambulance Train capability was disbanded. He was subsequently promoted and appointed to command 306 Field Hospital (V) between 1995-1999 and eventually retired from the Army in December 2007. The author has drawn on an extensive archive of historical photographs, drawings and other images to illustrate his researches in this book.

Flaptekst van het fotoboek over het Londen van Jack the Ripper

A photographic journey around the East End of London exploring the myriad of places connected to Jack the Ripper.

Although the story of Jack the Ripper has been told many times, the crime scene locations and the killing ground which he and his unfortunate victims would have been familiar with has been largely left unknown. This book is the literary equivalent of a walking tour around the sites that would have been frequented by those who lived in Whitechapel in 1888. Using the original police reports, new images, maps and diagrams the book takes the reader deep inside Jack the Ripper’s London and presents the truth about what actually happened in the autumn of 1888 and what remains of the notorious killer’s London today. The focus is on the ever-changing face of London’s East End, giving the reader a real sense of how the past meets the present in arguably London’s most vibrant and cultural quarter, where the shadow of the Ripper is never too far away…

Jack the Ripper’s London features previously unseen images from the authors’ own collections and detailed crime scene reconstructions that have never been published before. This will be the perfect companion for anyone wanting to visit the East End of London or those who wish to get a sense of where everything happened in Jack the Ripper’s day.

Flaptekst boek over de Crossville bussen in Liverpool

An illustrated history of Crosville and its buses in Liverpool from the start of operations in the 1920s to closure of its depot in 1987.

The Crosville bus company started bus operations in Liverpool in 1922 and by the end of the decade was the leading operator across the Wirral and into Lancashire, Cheshire and North Wales. Crosville buses were an everyday sight in Merseyside until its Liverpool depot closed in early 1987 following deregulation of the bus industry in October 1986.

Richard Lloyd Jones charts the fortunes of Crosville in Liverpool over sixty years, drawing on archive photographs of the company, its depot and vehicles as well as personal accounts of staff and their families.

Richard Lloyd Jones has worked in the bus industry for over thirty-four years, starting with Crosville Wales. In his present role he works in policy but has always had a keen interest in the history of the bus industry in the UK, and especially Crosville Motor Services Ltd. He is also the owner of a preserved Crosville coach which was based with Crosville in Liverpool.
