Accidental Angler Description: In 2004, Yellow Jersey published one of the most highly acclaimed fishing books of recent years, Charles Rangeley-Wilson`s Somewhere Else. In 2006, Rangeley-Wilson will be presenting his own BBC2 TV series, The Accidental Angler. Published to accompany the TV series, The Accidental Angler`s fifteen new stories take us from London suburbs to Bhutan, the Soviet wilderness to the Seychelles ? anywhere a fishing rod leads. A fishing rod will break the ice with locals, guides, farmers, shopkeepers, taxi drivers and bar-flies. Whether in the world`s most outlandish and awe-inspiring places or just at the end of your road, fishing will introduce you to crabby weather and crabby locals, moon-phases, rip-tides, floods, droughts, remarkable tales, and of course fantastic slippery beasts. In The Accidental Angler you`ll battle titanic monsters on a tropical atoll and make-believe sharks on the mushy-peas-and-gravy Wash. You`ll chase inscrutable grayling through back gardens in Provence, or phantom sea trout in downtown Southampton. And you`ll run away from pill-popping Icelandic farmers and find secret rivers hidden beneath the streets.

Aikido And The Harmony Of Nature Description: Here is a unique approach to the teachings of the Founder of Aikido, Morihei Ueshiba, as interpreted by his direct student of fifteen years. Mitsugi Saotome examines the spiritual philosophy of the Founder, the warrior ideals of feudal Japan as the basis of his martial arts philosophy, and the scientific principles underlying the philosophy of Aikido technique. The author shows that the physical movement of Aikido is the embodiment of principles of the spirit. Negative force is not countered with aggression but is controlled and redirected through the power and balance of spiral movement. This is the shape of Aikido and the dynamic shape at the foundation of all energies of existence. Aikido movement can only be understood from its roots in universal law and the processes of nature. The sincere practice and study of Aikido deepens our appreciation for the perfection of nature`s balance and brings us back into harmony with our environment, other people, and ourselves. Abundantly illustrated with the author`s drawings, diagrams, and calligraphies, as well as photographs demonstrating Aikido techniques, the book also offers a history of Aikido, personal anecdotes about the Founder, and translations of several of his lectures....

Beautiful Game? Description: Once, football proudly claimed to stand for passion, community, honour, even beauty. Today, football is about money. Its richest club, Manchester United, earned -175 million last year; yet since 1992 36 of the Football League`s 72 clubs have been insolvent. The game is in danger of losing its lifeblood - and its soul. David Conn, the game`s premier investigative journalist, sets out on a journey through the heart of English football, exploring how our national sport has failed - and who is to blame. Travelling from Highbury`s art deco stands to provincial non-league outposts, Conn interviews players, managers, chairmen and fans, building up a picture of a game mired in crisis. At its heart, football is a game deeply loved by millions. This is a book for those who keep the faith, who believe that the sport itself, stripped of the greed and self-interest blighting its organisation, still has values, and can still be beautiful....

Big Brother Description: At the age of 16, he was in the Rangers first team. At 21, he was playing for Scotland. Derek Ferguson`s childhood dream had come true ? or so you`d think. Now almost 40, he`s dragging his aching bones around the part-time circuit and coaching kids on windswept public parks. The fans think he`s doing it for kicks. After all, guys like him all have a million in the bank, don`t they? But here`s the reality that goes with the dream: a career derailed by the death of his baby daughter and the near nervous breakdown that followed; knees wrecked nearly as badly as the pension fund that fell into a stock-market black hole; endless regrets at walking out on a proper education; the gnawing fear of the day when he`ll finally have to join the real world; and through it all, the promise to himself that the same wasn`t going to happen to his wee brother. Twenty years ago, starstruck kids queued to ask for Derek`s autograph. Today, they ask: `Are you related to Barry?` He`s always proud to say yes, just as he`s proud to know he helped make sure Barry also has the fortune to go with his fame. Big Brother is a journey that takes you deeper into the inner sanctum of the dressing-room than ever before.... Read More about the "Big Brother" on the The Nile Book Store Website
