Slipless in Settle is a sentimental journey around club cricket in the north of Engl&, a world far removed from the cliched lengthening-shadows-on-the-village-green image of the summer game. This is hardcore cricket played in former pit villages & mill towns, places with names that sound like 1930s comedians, places that look straight out of The League of Gentlemen, because they are where it was filmed. It is about the little clubs that have, down the years, produced some of the greatest players Britain has ever seen, & at one time spent a fortune on importing the biggest names in the international game to boost their battle for local supremacy. Slipless in Settle is a warm, affectionate & outrageously funny sporting odyssey in which Andrew Flintoff & Learie Constantine rub shoulders with Asbo-tag-wearing all-rounders, there's hot-pot pie & mushy peas at the tea bar, two types of mild in the clubhouse, & a batsman is banned for a month for wearing a fireman's helmet when going out to face Joel Garner.. . ...

* Shortlisted for 2016 European Book Prize* Giles Merritt describes himself as a `sceptical europhile`. For many years among the foremost commentators on the politics & economics shaping Europe, he was named by the Financial Times as one of 30 ` Eurostars` who are the most influential voices in Brussels. Slippery Slope is far from the usual run of uncritical EU-related studies. Its aim is to set alarm bells ringing across Europe with its revealing insights into our increasingly troubled future. Giles Merritt argues that the steepness & suddenness of Europe`s decline in the ` Asian century` will depend on the actions we Europeans undertake. & there are two key lessons that we need to face from the beginning. Firstly, the `good times` aren`t coming back without a massive effort on our part. & secondly, in a fast-developing world of 9-10 billion people, no single European country can survive & prosper on its own. Merritt sets out to sort fact from fiction in his analysis of Europe`s weaknesses, & the policies needed to address them. Placing the outlook for Europe in its global context, he assesses Europe`s decline in relative as well as absolute terms, & puts forward an ambitious but realistic `to do` list for Europe`s policymakers if our comparatively privileged life styles are not to be seriously threatened in the coming years. In the wake of ` Brexit;, this is a hard-hitting warning that unless Europeans shake themselves awake their future will be increasingly gloomy. Anyone who believes that the economic crisis that began in 2008 is just a blip will find this book a salutary lesson in the reality of Europe`s position. ...
