Download or read book A Bigger Field Awaits Us written by Andrew Beaujon and published by Chicago Review Press. This book was released on 2018-05-01 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each November, about a hundred people with paper poppies pinned to their coats gather around a memorial in Edinburgh. They're there to commemorate the more than a dozen members of the local football team, Heart of Midlothian—almost every member of its starting lineup and many of its backup players—who went to war. When they enlisted in November 1914, the Edinburgh Evening News ran pages of splendid photos of the Hearts players in McCrae's Battalion. After the war, surviving soldiers, many of them wounded, gassed, and suffering from what was then called "shell shock," returned home to a public that had only the weakest grasp of what had happened. Perhaps the pointlessness of so much suffering and death was too awful to contemplate. All of Edinburgh threw a parade for the men of McCrae's Battalion when they marched off to war, but no one wanted to be reminded that their commanders later traded their lives and health for a few yards of French mud. A Bigger Field Awaits Us: The Scottish Football Team That Fought the Great War tells the little-known but poignant story of a group of Scottish athletes and their fans who went to war together—and the stories of the few who made it home. The saga of McCrae's Battalion brings much-needed human scale to World War I and explains why a group of young men from a small country with almost no direct connection to the conflict would give up their careers, their homes, their health, and in many cases their lives to an abstract cause. Their sacrifices illuminate the dark corners of this war that history's lights rarely reach.

Book excerpt: Chris Weir is terrific with his hands. Whether it’s wielding a shovel during his landscaping day job, or pouring energy into playing the fiddle, he is both skilled and passionate. Though he’s a musical prodigy, his past mistakes have narrowed his future, and he’s accepted the fact that the chances of getting out of his tiny hometown of Gleann, New Hampshire are slim. In the midst of turning his life around, the girl he secretly crushed on in high school returns, forcing him to reevaluate who he was and who he is meant to become. Maisie Blackwood never wanted to leave Gleann. Her wealthy parents hated seeing their smart, obedient little girl being drawn into the small-town party scene, so six years ago they sent her away. Now, after graduating college, she’s back in town slinging fish and chips and pulling pints at her family’s historic Scottish-style pub. She’s made her own mistakes, and her plan is to help out her grandparents until she can find her own path. Gleann is only supposed to be a rest stop, but then she meets Chris and discovers that the only thing more powerful than his gift for music is his heart.

Book excerpt: In the early 1970s in Scotland, women's football existed in the margins. Unrecognised by the Scottish Football Association, banned from playing in stadiums and with no recognised national team. Arrival tells the fascinating, inspiring and uplifting story of how Scotland's women footballers fought for their right to play, battling hostility, prejudice and intolerance in order to create a national side that the country could be proud of. Drawing on illuminating interviews with Scotland players and managers past and present, including Anna Signeul and Shelley Kerr, it tells the inside story of the remarkable journey that the Scotland women's national team made from formation to eventual qualification for the European Championship and World Cup. It reveals the passion, commitment and determination that enabled Scotland to build a squad capable of competing with the best in the world and inspiring a generation. Arrival is the true story of a team battling against the odds to take their place on the world stage.

Download or read book Power Play written by Jay Scherer and published by University of Alberta. This book was released on 2019-11-06 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the Rogers Place arena opened in downtown Edmonton in September 2016, no amount of buzz could drown out the rumours of manipulation, secret deals, and corporate greed undergirding the project. Working with documentary evidence and original interviews, the authors present an absorbing account of the machinations that got the arena and the adjacent Ice District built, with a price tag of more than $600 million. The arena deal, they argue, established a costly public financing precedent that people across North America should watch closely, as many cities consider building sports facilities for professional teams or international competitions. Their analysis brings clarity and nuance to a case shrouded in secrecy and understood by few besides political and business insiders. Power Play tells a dramatic story about clashing priorities where sports, money, and municipal power meet.

Book excerpt: Kara keeps hearing voices and seeing images that aren’t there. Perhaps she is working too hard at her dull engineering job where she spends hours a day correcting documentation. Her love life is non-existent. Her friends just want to drink and get drunk. Life is dull and boring. However, the voices talk of war and espionage. There are moments she feels intense love or like she’s flying. But then there are the moments where she feels a heart stop and she finds herself experiencing what she calls an out-of-body experience. Whatever it is, it’s more exciting than her current life. And then there is that odd smell. It’s a faint musty smell of peppermint. No. It can’t be. Dragons?

Download or read book At Easter Road They Play Volume 1 written by John Campbell and published by Casemate Publishers. This book was released on 2013-04-04 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First in a new trilogy about Scotland’s storied Hibernian Football Club—from the on-the-pitch exploits of the Famous Five to the rise of Joe Baker. Since 1875 Hibernian Football Club has been an integral part of sporting life in the City of Edinburgh and Port of Leith; its early history up to 1946 has been brilliantly documented in The Making of Hibernian trilogy by Alan Lugton. John Campbell’s At Easter Road They Play is the first part of a new trilogy that brings the history up to date, picking up the story from 1946 and covering what was the most successful part of the club’s history when Hibernian won three Championship titles and became the first British club to play in the European Cup, reaching the semifinal. Packed with anecdotal tales of the times, it gives a fascinating insight into life at the club when the Famous Five were in their heyday right through to the mid-sixties when a young lad by the name of Joe Baker burst onto the scene. A game-by-game, goal-by-goal account of the many highs and numerous lows, At Easter Road They Play takes the reader on a fantastic journey back to the days when massive crowds flocked to Easter Road to see Hibernian play. For any Hibs fan that lived through those heady days this book will bring back to life a host of happy memories whilst at the same time allowing those fans who were perhaps too young or not even born at the time to see just how different football was back then when compared to the modern-day game. “A thoroughly enjoyable read.” —Lawrie Reilly
