It is biggest sporting event in the world, watched by billions, in a game played on every scrap of land on the planet. It is every boy's dream to win it. Yet just seven countries, from only two continents, ever have. Why? &, most importantly, how?

How to Win the World Cup takes apart all the previous 18 editions of football's pre-eminent competition to look at the sporting DNA as well as the vital statistics of winning teams. It debunks myths & turns accepted truths on their heads in search of the essence of victory. Home advantage helps, surely? Only once in the past three decades. Well, the best team wins, then; it's only seven matches, after all. Not since Brazil in 1970
- & don't ask a Dutchman.

By going beyond tactics & teams to examine factors as diverse as team spirit & the choice of captain, media hype & public expectation, the political climate & even the weather (luck, penalties & cheating play a part too, of course), Graham Mc Coll has produced a World Cup book unlike any to have gone before it. & at the end of the day, he looks at what the 32 nations who have qualified for South Africa 2010 are bringing to the table, & if they have what it takes.

Do England have the recipe for success? Can they win the World Cup, for the first time in 44 years? You read it here first.

There are many books intended to help people deal with the trauma of bereavement, but few which explore the reality of death itself. HOW WE DIE sets out to explain exactly what happens to each of us when we die. Sherwin Nuland
- with over thirty years' experience as a surgeon
- explains in detail the processes which take place in the body & strips away many illusions about death. The result is a unique & compelling book, addressing the one final fact that all of us must confront.

Although nearly 90% of the population of Great Britain remained civilians throughout the war, or for a large part of it, their story has so far largely gone untold. In contrast with the thousands of books on military operations, barely any have concerned themselves with the individual's experience. The problems of the ordinary family are barely ever mentioned
- food rationing, clothes rationing, the black-out & air raids get little space, & everyday shortages almost none at all.

This book is an attempt to redress the balance; to tell the civilian's story largely through their own recollections & in their own words.

' Mr Longmate has recruited an enormous volunteer army of home-front veterans who sent him their wartime recollections... He has brilliantly sifted & assembled the precious debris' Guardian
