The
British Olympic Association celebrate their centenary this year,
but have been too preoccupied with the London bid to make a
fuss about it. But the BOA have produced a book to honour the
occasion. Chasing Gold is a pictorial history of British participation
in the Olympics, compiled by Nick Yapp with the archive of Getty
Images, and is a useful reminder of what the Games have meant
to this country. Read

| Synopsis:
Ten years after his classic Rain Men - 'cricket's answer to Fever
Pitch,' said the Daily Telegraph - Marcus Berkmann returns to the
strange and wondrous world of village cricket, where players sledge
their teammates, umpires struggle to count up to six, the bails aren't
on straight and the team that field after a hefty tea invariably loses.
This time he's on the trail of the Ageing Cricketer, having suddenly
realised that he is one himself and playing in a team with ten others
every weekend. |

| Lance
Armstrong. Amazon.co.uk Review: People around the world have found
inspiration in the story of Lance Armstrong--a world-class athlete
nearly struck down by cancer, only to recover and win the Tour de
France, the multiday bicycle race famous for its gruelling intensity.
Armstrong is a thoroughgoing Texan jock, and the changes brought to
his life by his illness are startling and powerful, but he's just
not interested in wearing a hero suit.. |
