Niall Ferguson Presents Civilization: Is The West History?
MovieMail Ltd Product Information
Financial historian and writer Professor Niall Ferguson follows up his documentary The Ascent of Money with this equally compelling exploration into Western civilization's global dominance. Based on Ferguson's own book, Civilization: The West and the Rest, this six-part documentary looks at the 'killer apps' of the West's success; competition, science, democracy, modern medicine, consumerism and the Protestant work ethic. The West once ruled more than half the world. The religion it exported is still followed by a third of mankind. Above all, the way people live, or aspire to live, is unmistakably an invention of the West. All over the world, more and more human beings eat a Western diet, wear Western clothes and live in Western housing. But are we living through the beginning of the end of the West’s ascendancy? The series contains: 1. A Tale of Two Rivers: Why Western Europe’s economy outstripped Eastern China’s, 2. The Siege: Why Central Europe turned the tide against the Ottoman Empire, 3. New Worlds: Why North America succeeded where South America failed, 4. Hearts of Darkness: Why Europe’s empires failed in their mission to 'civilize' Africa, 5. Cross-dressing Civilizations: The resurrection of the West as the 'consumer society', 6. Lost Faiths: The decline of Western beliefs - not only Christianity, but also nationalism and even Communism.

Small Man In A Book
Waterstones Product Information
You save: £2.00 Rob Brydon - star of "Gavin and Stacey", Steve Coogan's partner in "The Trip", and one of Britain's favourite comedians - tells the funny and frank story of his slow ascent to fame and fortune in "Small Man in a Book". A multi-award-winning actor, writer, comedian and presenter known for his warmth, humour and inspired impressions, Rob Brydon has quickly become one of our very favourite entertainers. But there was a time when it looked like all we'd hear of Rob was his gifted voice. Growing up in South Wales, Rob had a passion for radio and soon the Welsh airwaves resounded to his hearty burr. However, these were followed by years of misadventure and struggle, before, in the TV series "Marion and Geoff" and "Gavin and Stacey", Rob at last tickled the nation's funny bone. The rest, as they say, is history. Or in his case autobiography. "Small Man in a Book" is a funny, heartfelt, honest, sometimes sad, but mainly funny, memoir of how a young man from Wales very, very slowly became an overnight success.

Learning To Breathe
£6.74
Learning To Breathe
Waterstones Product Information
You save: £2.25 At the age of sixteen, Andy Cave followed in his father's and grandfather's footsteps and became a miner - one of the last recruits into a dying world. Every day he would descend 3,000 feet into Grimethorpe pit. But at weekends Andy escaped from the pithead to a very different world - testing his nerve on the cliffs and mountains around Britain, and forging endearing friendships with his new companions. Enduring the 1984-85 miners' strike - the guilt, the broken friendships, the poverty - Andy continued to indulge his passion. In 1986, after much soul searching, he quit his job as a miner in order to devote himself to mountaineering. At the same time he decided to educate himself, acquiring almost from a standing start academic qualifications including a Ph D in socio-linguistics. This extraordinary twin odyssey is graphically recalled in this remarkable book. In the Himalaya in 1997, Andy achieved a courageous first ascent on one of the steepest and most difficult summits in the world - the north face of Changabang. Seventeen days later, he and only two of his team-mates crawled into base camp, frostbitten, emaciated and traumatised.His account of this terrifying experience provides a dramatic climax to this compelling story. "Learning to Breathe" is, first and foremost, a lively and humorous memoir, written with energy and insight, about two very different groups of people, each navigating equally inhospitable worlds. Finally on a larger scale, it is an examination of our ability to draw on inner reserves and the strength of others.

Mourinho: Further Anatomy Of A Winner
Waterstones Product Information
You save: £4.90 When Jose Mourinho realised as a teenager that he was never going to be a great player, he decided he was going to become the best coach in the world. At 47, many would say that he's done that - probably including Mourinho, who has called himself the Special One. From translator and assistant to Sir Bobby Robson at Barcelona, to Champions League-winning manager at Porto and on to turning Chelsea into one of Europe's most successful clubs, followed by Champions League victory at Inter-Milan, and now ready to deliver the same at Real Madrid, Jose Mourinho's ascent has been rapid. Backed by Abramovich's billions, Mourinho weeded out those not fully committed to his methods, made several astute signings and improved the performances of many Chelsea stars. The result: in his first season in 2005, Chelsea won both the Premier League title and the Carling Cup, followed by another title the following season. Mourinho then left for Inter-Milan where he delivered a treble in his second season in charge, and is now tasked with bringing Real Madrid's 'Galacticos' the silverware they crave.Patrick Barclay, award-winning football correspondent of The Times, has written an intelligent, analytical and concise account of the life and psychology of Mourinho. To develop this portrait, he has interviewed those who have worked closely with him, such as Sir Bobby Robson and Louis van Gaal, as well as some of the players who provide a revealing insight into what has made Mourinho the most successful manager in the world.
