Sports Car Racing In Camera 1950-59 - Paul Parker - Motor Sports and Cycling

1.0 out of 5 stars Sexist, 10 Dec 2011
This review is from: Sports Sticker Book (Usborne Sticker Books) (Paperback)
I was planning on buying this book to get my young daughters interested in the London Olympics. Unfortunately whoever created this book seems to think sport is just for men. There are hardly any women in this book and those that are are either adjudicators or gymnasts.

4.0 out of 5 stars sport sticker book, 7 July 2011
This review is from: Sports Sticker Book (Usborne Sticker Books) (Paperback)
This is a super sticker book for my 4 year old son who loves sports. Kept him busy for a good 2 hours just going through all the different sports, and we still haven't done them all.

4.0 out of 5 stars On the podium, 30 Mar 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Sports Sticker Book (Usborne Sticker Books) (Paperback)
This is a great sticker book - very high quality, lovely pictures (as you expect from Usbourne) and a good variety of sports represented. I also really like the additional details such as national flags which introduces even more points of interest/discussion for children. One of the previous reviewers mentioned the lack of women represented - I completely disagree! From my impression there seems to be plenty of female figures, although maybe I'm misreading the long hair... The only criticism I'd have is that there are no disabled athletes featured which seems a bit of an omission, particularly in an Olympic/Paralympic year. Otherwise, flawless.

    Trending: Hardbacks vs e-books: the sequel

    In the world of journalism it's called a "reverse ferret" - a story breathlessly announcing that Black is White, just 24 hours after confidently asserting that Black is Black. In the genteel environs of publishing, it's a volte-face. Whatever it is, James Daunt, owner of Daunt Books and managing director of the Waterstones chain, executed a classic twirl at the weekend.

    Invisible Ink: No 124 - Hans Fallada

    His pen-name was created from two characters in Grimm's fairy tales, but his novels had little in common with the moralistic fantasies of mittel-Europe. Rudolf Ditzen was a magistrate's son, raised in Berlin and immersed in Dickens, Flaubert and Dostoevsky. He became one of the greatest German authors of the 20th century, but was not translated into English until 2009.

    The curious world of Norton Juster

    Some people are very easy to interview. Norton Juster is not one of them. He's delightful and articulate, but listening to the recording of our time together, it's striking how much more interesting his answers are than my questions. So our conversation entirely failed to resolve classics such as "Where did the idea for your book come from?" and ended up instead about vocational education, bipolar disorder, obscure Edwardian ghost-story writers, C P Snow, synaesthesia and the walks Juster used to take with his older brother. In some respects, it's hardly surprising; Juster has been giving interviews about his children's classic The Phantom Tollbooth for half a century, so might be forgiven for wanting his conversations to roam elsewhere.

    How Aharon Appelfeld chronicled the Holocaust

    Blooms of Darkness, in Green's graceful, grave and irresistibly readable English version, tells the story of Hugo, a young Jewish boy in an occupied town in eastern Europe who loses his parents to the camps but stays alive thanks to the shelter and salvation offered him by a local prostitute, Mariana. It extends and deepens one of the most remarkable journeys in all modern literature. In a prolific career whose highlights include novels such as Badenheim 1939, Tzili, The Immortal Bartfuss and The Iron Tracks, as well as the memoir The Story of a Life, Appelfeld has interrogated the meaning of what happened to him, to his community, and to humanity itself, during Europe's era of genocide.

    Gwendoline Riley: A portrait of the artist as a brooding young woman...

    Gwendoline Riley was finishing her first novel at the age that most of us were sleeping in, bunking off, or congregating around a pint at the student union bar. Turning her university dissertation into her debut, Cold Water (2002) she signed a two-book deal at the age of 22. Since then, she has accumulated a hipster-ish following and several literary awards (Somerset Maugham Award, the Betty Trask Award, a John Llewellyn-Rhys Memorial prize shortlisted nomination).
