On New Year's Eve, 1967, the Dallas Cowboys and the Green Bay Packers met for a classic NFL championship game, played on a frozen field in sub-zero weather. The "Ice Bowl" challenged every skill of these two great teams. Here's the whole story, based on dozens of interviews with people who were there-on the field and off-told by author Ed Gruver with passion, suspense, wit, and accuracy. ![]() English | 2021 | ISBN: 1119765048 | 251 pages | True PDF EPUB | 6.78 MB Watch your most innovative ideas take flight by overcoming the forces that resist change ![]() English | 2021 | ISBN: B09C4ZT1LB | 283 pages | epub | 3.18 MB Here comes the book that will help everyone who always wanted to learn, understand, and deliver load test projects. ![]() English | 2021 | ISBN: 1399005421 | 416 pages | True PDF | 30.79 MB This revelatory book charts and explains the impact and consequences of successive pandemics, plagues and epidemics on the course of world history - all through the lens of today's ongoing global experience of COVID 19.

The eight hundred acres of Hampstead Heath lie just four miles from central London. And yet unlike the manicured inner-city parks, it feels like the countryside: it has hills and lakes, wild spots and tame spots. You can spend three hours walking round it - and only ever cross one road. Hunter Davies has lived within a stone's throw of Hampstead Heath for nearly sixty years and has walked on it nearly every day of his London life. In The Heath, he records his walks over one year, season by season. Visiting all parts of the Heath, from Kenwood House to its four public swimming places, Davies talks to the diverse array of individuals who frequent it: regulars, visitors, dog walkers; top athletes on the racetrack; famous faces having their morning stroll. This is an affectionate portrait of one of London's - and the world's - iconic urban green spaces. |
