Squeaky Bum Time
£7.19
Sir Alex Ferguson who retired from Manchester United as the most successful manager English football has ever seen was simultaneously the most admired & feared manager in British football. During almost forty years in the dugout & over half a century in the professional game he's torn up the record books amassed a treasure trove of silverware & unleashed the hairdryer
- as well as the odd football boot
- on countless players rival managers referees & journalists. But amid the sound the fury & the mind-games lurks one of sport's greatest wits. So here we present Sir Alex Ferguson: uncompromising unrivalled & uncut. On Arsene Wenger: ' They say he's an intelligent man right? Speaks five languages! I've got a fifteen-year-old boy from the Ivory Coast who speaks five languages.' On Dennis Wise: ' He could start a row in an empty house.' On referees: ' Can anyone tell me why they give referees a watch? It's certainly not for keeping the time.' On his humble beginnings: ' People say mine was a poor upbringing. I don't know what they mean. It was tough but it wasn't bloody poor. We maybe didn't have a TV. We didn't have a car. We didn't even have a phone. But I thought I had everything & I did: I had a football.' After the winning the European Cup in 1999: 'I can't believe it. I can't believe it. Football eh? Bloody hell.'

SS Great Britain
£9.59
The SS Great Britain designed by Isambard Brunel was the first ocean-going vessel to be screw-driven & built entirely of iron. When she was launched in 1843 she was twice the size of any previous ship & her revolutionary design heralded a complete break with traditional ship construction. As is the case for many historic ships however there is a surprising shortage of informative & well illustrated guides for reference during a visit or for research by enthusiasts
- ship modellers naval buffs historians or students. This new series redresses the gap. Written by experts & containing more than 200 specially commissioned photographs each title takes the reader on a superbly illustrated tour of the ship from bow to stern & deck by deck. Significant parts of the vessel
- for example the propeller steering gear engine & accommodation
- are given detailed coverage both in words & pictures so that the reader has at hand the most complete visual record & explanation of the ship that exists. In addition the importance of the ship both in her own time & now as a museum vessel is explained while her design & build & her career prior to restoration & exhibition are all described. No other books offer such superb visual impact & detailed information as the Seaforth Historic Ship Series
- a truly groundbreaking concept bringing the ships of our past vividly to life.

SS Great Britain
£14.07
Isambard Kingdom Brunels SS Great Britain was a world first when she was launched at Bristol in 1843. This uniquely successful passenger ship design brought together the leading technologies of the day (screw propeller iron hull & 1 000hp steam engine) to transform world travel. She was a successful ship & continued sailing until 1886 travelling 32 times around the world & nearly one million miles at sea. Great Britain was finally abandoned in the Falkland Islands in 1937 but in 1970 an ambitious salvage effort brought her home to Bristol where today she is conserved. ...

SS United States
£12.79
Built in 1952 for the United States Lines the SS United States was unlike any other ocean liner. She had been designed from the outset to serve as both a transatlantic ferry & as a troop & hospital ship in time of war. Her design was a military secret & her power plant similar to that fitted to the largest of American battleships. She could do a staggering 45kt over twelve knots faster than her nearest rival. She soon became the ship to be seen on & the illustrious passeger lists included the Duke & Duchess of Windsor who favoured the ships Duck Suite. The entry of the SS United States the largest passenger ship built in America marked the first time since the 1850s that an American ship had held the Blue Rib&. This amazing ocean liner surpassed European speed records by a huge margin & a ship as fast is unlikely ever to be built again. William H. Miller tells the story of the SS United states from her construction at Newport Mews to the present day. Today she lies derelict in Philadelphia but big plans are in place to restore her & turn her back into a luxurious floating hotel. ...
