Paul Winslow was old enough to know better when cricket finally gripped him in its thrall. Having ignored its myriad charms for years he let his guard down & found himself conscripted into the Barmy Army blindly following the England cricket team to Belfast Barbados Brisbane & beyond to feed his new addiction. His career stalled homelessness ensued & relationships came under strain but none of it mattered as long as there was a cricket tour to go on. Going Barmy is not a history of the Barmy Army; it is a story of gradual cricket obsession & a personal insight into what life is really like with the Barmy Army both on tour & as a business. This unique consideration of a sporting & cultural phenomenon opens the door on the songwriting the camaraderie & the relationship with the players one of whom England off-spinner Graeme Swann who wrote the foreword & says: Im glad that Winslow has written this book. Hopefully it will give you an insight into the life of the real & often misunderstood Barmy Army. They are not hooligans they are not troublemakers they are just cricket nuts who fly the flag for this brilliant country we live in. They are the very heartbeat of our Test team abroad. & I love them for it."" ...

A fascinating exploration of the relationship of competition & assimilation between the Netherlands & England during the 17th century revealing the ways in which Dutch tolerance resilience & commercial acumen effectively conquered Britain by reshaping its intellectual landscape long before Dutch monarchs sat on the English throne. Working backwards from the bloodless revolution that set William & Mary of Orange on the English throne in 1688 this bold & ambitious work redefines the history of cultural & commercial interconnection between two of the world's most powerful trading empires at a time of great intellectual & geographical discovery. Weaving together the lives of the great thinkers of the time Lisa Jardine demonstrates how individuals such as Anton van Leeuwenhoek Christiaan Huygens & Margaret Cavendish usually depicted as instances of isolated genius in fact evolved within a context of easy Anglo-Dutch exchange that laid the groundwork for the European Enlightenment & the Scientific Revolution. Beautifully illustrated throughout this is a fascinating history of big ideas & remarkable individuals. It denounces the traditional view that the rise of England as a world power took place at the expense of the Dutch asserting instead that what is usually interpreted as the decline of the Dutch trading empire was in fact a 'passing on' of the baton to a Britain expanding in power & influence. ...
