Book Description
We could get into Europe this season or we could get relegated--that's why I support City. --Noel Gallagher In 2012, 44 years of agonized waiting came to an end with Manchester City winning the Premier League title. The millions of dollars they spent on world superstars kept the media at the Etihad doorstep on a daily basis, but it paid off handsomely with championships and cup successes. It is only a few years since City's loyal fans were riding on the wildest roller-coaster in English soccer, with so many ups and downs that they hardly knew in which division they were competing. But, the fans kept coming back for more, and now they are reaping the rewards. This incredible journey is all recorded in The Little Book of Man City, a selection of the wit and wisdom of the great characters who have been associated with the club. From managers, such as Malcolm Allison, Kevin Keegan, Roberto Mancini, and Manuel Pellegrin, to voluble players including Francis Lee, Dennis Tueart, Rodney Marsh, Carlos Tevez, and Vincent Kompany, here are more than 180 funny and biting quotes for the avid fans of the only club in Manchester.

The book captures the spirit of the club with facts and figures, and little-known information presented in an entertaining and often humorous manner. From revealing the origins of songs, bogey teams and curses to detailing rock stars, actors, comedians, managers, players, movies, plays, records, books, videos and mysteries linked to the club - they're all in here and many for the first time anywhere. -- When was the last time City played at Maine Road in an away kit? -- Who scored the goals in a 5-4 Wembley defeat? -- Just who is 'Wimblydon' in relation to the club?

Book Description
Did You Know? In 1824 a Pendleton tollkeeper set up Britain's first true public bus service, thought to be one of the first in the world. Communism can claim to have been conceived, if not born, in Manchester as Friedrich Engels and Karl Marx used to meet in the city. Manchester has the grim distinction of being the place where the first death of the English Civil War occurred. The Little Book of Manchester is an intriguing, fast-paced, fact-packed compendium of places, people and events in the city, from its Roman origins to the present day. Here you can read about the important contributions the city made to the history of the nation, learn about the individual communities and how they came together to form the modern city and meet some of the great men and women, the eccentrics and the scoundrels with which its history is littered. A reliable reference book and quirky guide, its bite-sized chunks of history can be dipped into time and again to reveal some new facts about the story of this amazing city. This is a remarkably engaging little book.

Book Description
An era has ended. The political expression that most galvanized evangelicals during the past quarter-century, the Religious Right, is fading. What's ahead is unclear. Millions of faith-based voters still exist, and they continue to care deeply about hot-button issues like abortion and gay marriage, but the shape of their future political engagement remains to be formed. Into this uncertainty, former White House insiders Michael Gerson and Peter Wehner seek to call evangelicals toward a new kind of political engagement -- a kind that is better both for the church and the country, a kind that cannot be co-opted by either political party, a kind that avoids the historic mistakes of both the Religious Left and the Religious Right. Incisive, bold, and marked equally by pragmatism and idealism, Gerson and Wehner's new book has the potential to chart a new political future not just for values voters, but for the nation as a whole.
