Bat, Ball and Field is a wonderful foray into the history and culture of cricket • Chronicling the evolution of the sport since its earliest years, highlighting transcendent moments as well as tragedies, Jon Hotten lifts the seemingly impregnable veil from the Laws, batting strokes, types of bowling and the sometimes absurd names given to where fielders stand, allowing anyone a pathway into enjoying the sport, and an introductory immersion into its long history • This book is divided into the three parts that make up the fundamental elements of cricket: bat, ball and field.

An unprecedented history of the personality test conceived a century ago by a mother and her daughter - fiction writers with no formal training in psychology - and how it insinuated itself into our boardrooms, classrooms, and beyond • The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is the most popular personality test in the world. It has been harnessed by Fortune 100 companies, universities, hospitals, churches, and the military.

And yet despite the test's widespread adoption, experts in the field of psychometric testing, a $500 million industry, struggle to account for its success - no less validate its results. How did the Myers-Briggs insinuate itself into our jobs, our relationships, our internet, our lives? • First conceived in the 1920s by the mother-daughter team of Katherine Briggs and Isabel Briggs Myers, a pair of aspiring novelists and devoted homemakers, the Myers-Briggs was designed to bring the gospel of Carl Jung to the masses

Телеведущий и помешанный на автомобилях Энт Энстед отправляет читателя в путешествие, отражающее развитие самого автомобиля: от заикающейся скорости в 20 миль в час, которая пугала всех лошадей, до погони со скоростью 150 миль в час с поддержкой с воздуха и сложным электронным отслеживанием • Отношения британской полиции с автомобилем начались с погони за первыми автомобилистами, превышающими скорость на велосипедах.
