    The players, the goals, the games, the scandals and the glory: the story of French football's chequered coming of age over the last 40 years.French football is an enigma: a puzzling jumble of brilliance and farce, flair and frailty, stunning success and abject failure. Its domestic league is mocked on social media as an uncompetitive 'Farmers League' and its clubs derided for underachieving in European competition. But France have reached four of the past seven men's World Cup finals, French players star week in, week out for the world's grandest clubs and the very best of French football - the roar of the Vélodrome, the glamour of the Parc des Princes, the shimmering brilliance of Zinédine Zidane, Éric Cantona and Kylian Mbappé - stands comparison with anything the sport has to offer. When it comes to scandal, meanwhile, the French are the best in the business, be it sensational match-fixing affairs, squabbles over sex tapes or meltdowns within the national squad.In this fascinating and exhaustively researched book, the first of its kind in the English language, Tom Williams brings to life French football's chequered coming of age over the last 40 years. He details how the starry-eyed romanticism that characterised the national team in the early 1980s gave way to an Italian-style pragmatism that would lead Les Bleus to the summit of the international game in the late 1990s. He delves into French football's rich history and explains the myriad ways - tactical, technical and cultural - in which France has shaped the game's evolution around the world.Featuring exclusive interviews with great figures of the French game such as Alain Giresse, Jean-Pierre Papin, Luis Fernandez, Guy Roux, Emmanuel Petit, Robert Pirès, Blaise Matuidi and Camille Abily, and with a cast of characters that also includes Michel Platini, Thierry Henry, Arsène Wenger, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Karim Benzema, Chris Waddle, Neymar Jr and Lionel Messi, it's a book no football fan will want to miss.

    Fishing has always been an inescapable outlet for me and I have traveled throughout the United States and Southeastern British Colombia in search of the perfect waters. When I was younger, fishing was an epic game of hide and seek. Growing up, I cherished the time I spent with my father. I learned to fish as well as how to be a man, all under the guidance of a man who never said more than a handful of words at a time. However, my daughter brought a different kind of magic to the sport that I had never experienced before. For me, fishing used to be about the take but it's become more about the company you keep and the memories you take home with you. After working as a civilian contractor in the security industry for years, I know that the patience and persistence developed as a fisherman has helped me find balance in my career as well. I have truly loved this life and doing what makes me happy.

    BILL TUTTE CODEBREAKER 'THE GREATEST INTELLECTUAL FEAT OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR.' a testimonial to Bill Tutte and his codebreaking discovery in 1942 at Bletchley Park. Bill Tutte was a young, gauche PhD student, yet his remarkable breakthrough and continuing endeavour against a German cipher machine more complex than Enigma led to the development of the world's first programmable computer, Colossus. Colossus allowed top-secret messages between Hitler and his generals to be read within hours, contributing significantly to the success of the D-Day landings and the eventual defeat of Nazi Germany. So secret were the functions performed by Colossus that the work of Bill Tutte and his colleagues was classified for more than 50 years after the end of the Second World War. This novel not only explores Bill Tutte's codebreaking, but also examines his 'autistic' character, his background and close relationships all woven into the pressures and diversions of life at Bletchley Park. Prime Minister David Cameron wrote in 2012: We should never forget how lucky we were to have men like William 'Bill' Tutte in our darkest hour and the extent to which their work not only helped protect Britain itself but also shorten the war by an estimated two years, saving countless lives. I can say without doubt that Bill Tutte deserves the thanks of the British people.

    A collection of flash fiction (Tanzer), bookend short stories (Williams), a novella (Housley), and poetry written from father to daughter (Pawelek), Four Fathers is a hard-hitting definitive work that seeks to uncover what it takes to be a parent. These subjects are not easy, and through these introspective fathers, often agonized by the daily tensions of care-taking, we come to appreciate our own experiences more fully, or, at least prepare ourselves for what may lie ahead. Four Fathers, and each of its authors, delivers fatherhood in a multitude of thought-provoking, heartfelt ways: from Tom Williams' pair of long short stories which define a man by who he is as a son in relation to his father, and who he is as a father in relation to his son; to BL Pawelek's poetry, dedicated to his daughter, Abbey Road. Then you have Ben Tanzer's flash fiction pieces, which all seem to reflect up on the idea of "e;I'm a dad...what the heck do I do now?"e; and Dave Housley's novella begging the Osbornesque question "e;What the f*** is a 'Bieber?'"e;ADVANCE PRAISE:"e;Nothing can prepare us for the heart-wrenching mess that being a parent entails, but these stories and poems about fatherhood make me feel less lonely in the endeavor. At times gut-busting hilarious, devastating to the point of tears, and just plain beautiful, I'm so grateful this collection is in the world."e; -Paula Bomer, author of NINE MONTHS and INSIDE MADELEINE"e;FOUR FATHERS made me want to impregnate my wife all over again. Becoming a dad wouldn't be half as stressful with these powerful voices in my ear. From four of the sharpest literary minds on the planet, FOUR FATHERS is a quadruple helping of the wit, honesty, fear and beauty of being a dad. I can't wait to help a father-to-be throw away all the bullshit parenting books in his stack and replace it with this one amazing collection. I can't wait to tell him: 'This is what fatherhood really is.'"e; -Patrick Wensink, bestselling author of BROKEN PIANO FOR PRESIDENT"e;What a remarkable debut from Cobalt Press! This impressive collection of fiction and poetry is as varied in form as it is in content. But no matter the subject, one thing remains consistent throughout: these four authors shine a brilliant light onto one of the central conundrums of contemporary fatherhood, exploring what it means to be a man who is at once a role model, a law giver, a boo-boo soother (in short: this huge figure in his child's life) and yet also struggles to feel like a competent, responsible, stable grown-up. In language that will have you simultaneously chuckling and tearing up, Four Fathers gets to the heart of what it means to be a dad today."e; -- Brian Gresko, Editor of WHEN I FIRST HELD YOU"e;Replete with fathers, sons, daughters, fairy tales, gunfire and Justin Bieber songs, FOUR FATHERS is a collection that resonates not just with parents, but with anyone who has ever felt the burning pull of unconditional love. Far from rehashing familiar tropes, these authors prefer to examine what makes their subjects unique. Their focus on memory and moment illuminates the connections between childhood and parenthood: these are both times of growth, learning, doubt and, perhaps, the eras in which we make the most mistakes, and find the most forgiveness."e; -Aubrey Hirsch, author of WHY WE NEVER TALK ABOUT SUGAR"e;The anguish and joys of modern fatherhood - the shock of seeing your father's face in the mirror while you're shaving, the horror of watching your son succumb to Bieber Fever, the embarrassment of knowing the meaning of the term venti, the suicidal thoughts that follow the crime of clipping your child's nails too closely, the worrying about how to provide and protect - they're all here, in this absorbing volume, rendered in four genres and four unforgettable voices."e; -Susan Muaddi Darraj, author of THE INHERITANCE OF EXILE

    Set in the suburbs and cities of the Midwest, Mid-South, and Texas, these stories explore the lives of characters biracial, black, white, and all sorts of in-between. The intersections and collisions of contemporary life are in full effect here, where the distinctions between fast food and fine art, noble and naked ambitions, reality and reality shows have become impossible to distinguish.
