Silver Linings Bobby Robson's England

Silver Linings Bobby Robson's England
David Hartrick, "Silver Linings: Bobby Robson's England"
English | 2021 | ISBN: 1785317814 | 256 pages | EPUB | 4.5 MB
Silver Linings examines an historic and unforgettable period in the history of England's national football team. In his eight years as England boss, Bobby Robson was celebrated, derided, Diego-ed, and everything in between. His team missed one European Championship, self-destructed at another, were cheated out of Mexico 86, and then, just before he left, came within two kicks of a World Cup final. On this journey he had managed the good, the bad and sometimes the ugly. But through it all he maintained his belief not only in himself and his team, but in the notion of England. Faced with an unprecedented level of media hostility, Robson's team were inconsistent and frustrating, but at their best few could match them. Alf Ramsey may have won football's greatest prize in 1966 but no other England manager could equal the sheer drama of Robson's eight years in charge. Set against the backdrop of a vicious newspaper circulation war and the rise of hooliganism, this is the story of how Robson managed to deliver the seemingly impossible: hope.

Shahaama Five Egyptian Men Tell Their Stories

Shahaama Five Egyptian Men Tell Their Stories
Nayra Atiya, "Shahaama: Five Egyptian Men Tell Their Stories "
English | ISBN: 081563434X | 2016 | 192 pages | PDF | 6 MB
Between the late 1970s and the early 1980s, Nayra Atiya gathered the oral histories of five Egyptian men: a fisherman, an attorney, a scholar, a business- man, and a production manager. Through personal interviews over the course of several years, Atiya intimately captured the everyday triumphs and struggles of these young men in a rapidly changing Egyptian society. These tender stories of childhood experiences in the rural countryside, of the rigors of schooling, and of the many challenges in navigating adulthood shed light on both the rich diversity of Egyptian society and the values and traditions that are shared by all Egyptians. The concept of shahaama-a code of honor that demands loyalty, generosity, and a readiness to help others-is threaded throughout the narratives, reflecting its deeply rooted presence in Egyptian culture. Moving beyond leaden stereotypes of the oppressive Middle Eastern male, these candid self-portraits reveal the complexity of male identity in contemporary Egyptian society, highlighting the men's desires for economically viable lives, the same desires that fuel the many Egyptians today working toward revolutionary change.

Secrets in the Studio: A New Inquiry into Oil Painting Materials and Techniques by Kevin Todd
English | 2022 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B09ZL4FDSZ | 185 pages | EPUB | 4.75 Mb
The first step in learning the art of oil painting is to understand how an oil painting is built up? What materials are used and what are the steps? An oil painting consists of four major layers: the support layer, the base layer, the painting layer and the protection layer. The base layer can be divided into a gum base layer and a painting base layer, and the painting layer can be divided into a paint layer and an overpainting layer. Whether using traditional painting methods or direct painting methods, whether classical realism or contemporary painting, it is impossible to break away from this structure. Any oil painting that goes against this structure will have various problems.
