Utopia : The Influential Classic
What we can learn from a Renaissance nowhere In 1516, a book was published in Latin with the enigmatic Greek-derived word as its title.Utopia—which could mean either "good-place" or "no-place"—gives a traveler's account of a newly discovered island somewhere in the New World where the inhabitants enjoy a social order based purely on natural reason and justice.As the traveler describes the harmony, prosperity, and equality found there, a dramatic contrast is drawn between the ideal community he portrays and the poverty, crime, and often frightening political conditions of 16th century Europe.Written by Sir Thomas More (1477–1535)—then a rising intellectual star of the Renaissance and ultimately the advisor and friend of Henry VIII who was executed for his devoutly Catholic opposition to the king—Utopia is as complex as its author. In the form of a Platonic dialogue, Utopia explores topics such as money, property, crime, education, religious tolerance, euthanasia, and feminism.Claimed as a paean to communism (Lenin had More's name inscribed on a statue in Moscow) as often as it has been seen as a defense of traditional medieval values, Utopia began the lineage of utopian thinkers who use storytelling to explore new possibilities for human society—and remains as relevant today as when it was written in Antwerp 500 years ago. Explore the issues like feminism, euthanasia, and equality through Renaissance eyesEarly communist tract or a defense of medieval values?You decide.

The Fifty : Football's Most Influential Players
The Fifty tells the story of football through its best and most influential players, from the 19th century to the modern day.Most of the 50 are household names - Pele, Charlton, Maradona, Jimmy Hill, Matthews, Best, Zidane and Messi - and those who aren't certainly deserve to be.You'll read about football's first black superstar Jose Andrade, a 1930 World Cup winner with Uruguay who died in poverty.There's Lily Parr, a Woodbine-smoking behemoth of the women's game who is more famous now than when she died.Then there's Robbie Rogers, the second male footballer in Britain to come out as gay.Though Rogers wasn't a great player, his story will restore some faith after Justin Fashanu's appalling experiences as a gay footballer in the 1980s.Similarly, Jean-Marc Bosman made an indelible mark, not on the pitch but through the courts, changing the way footballers are treated forever.It's not about the stats, tactics or managers - this is the players' story, from war heroes and match-fixers to superstars and an African president.

The 25 Most Influential Aircraft of All Time
The 25 Most Influential Aircraft of All Time conveys the fascinating progression of flying technology from flimsy wood-and-fabric biplanes to thunderous supersonic wonders.Aviation’s most historically relevant and arguably most influential aircraft – planes like the elliptical-winged Spitfire, the blisteringly-fast X-15, and the ubiquitous Learjet – are dramatically showcased in individual chapters.Factors like performance, price, operational efficiency, and perceptions in popular culture are examined.People are just as important as hardware in the discussion of the world’s greatest aircraft.The larger-than-life characters who designed and built these aeronautical marvels – men like the reclusive Howard Hughes and the demanding Clarence “Kelly” Johnson – are an indispensable part of the story.So, too, are the fearless pilots like Charles Lindbergh and Chuck Yeager who gave life to the shining examples of a new and dynamic industry.The authors have flown or flown in many of the featured aircraft and they knew many of the luminous personalities involved, enabling them to share unique perspectives. The preface is written by William Lloyd Stearman, a former staff member of the National Security Council and the son of famed industry engineer Lloyd Stearman.The introduction is written by Norman R. Augustine, the retired Chairman and CEO of Lockheed Martin Corporation.The foreword is written by Burt Rutan, the renowned aircraft designer and founder of Scaled Composites.Each aircraft is magnificently illustrated in color, mostly with paintings by leading aviation artists.
