1. How to Be a Footballer
Description
The funniest man in British sport MetroEver wanted to know what it is really like being a Premiership footballer?
Here is the ultimate guide from the much loved every-man of English football, Peter Crouch.
Towering at 6ft 7inches, Crouch is prized for his self-deprecating humour, having famously answering the question, What would you be if you werent a footballer? with the one liner: A virgin. At the same time, he has had an incredible career from World Cups to Champions League finals. He has scored more headed goals than anyone else in Premiership history and has a better goals-to-minute on the pitch ratio for England than even Michael Owen. A humble professional with a great sense of humour, Crouch is one of the few players that is liked by fans of all clubs. Of course, this is probably because hes played for most of them.
Now nearing the end of his stellar career, he shares everything he has learnt and tells it exactly like it is in How to be a Footballer, from the most colourful aspects of the game to what really happens on and off the pitch. Honest, candid and great company, this is not your standard footballer autobiography but a true insiders guide to our favourite sport.
From a legend of English football, this is the most entertaining sports book of the year.
2. Walking Tall
Description
He is 6ft 7in tall but Peter Crouch's height is not the only thing that makes the Liverpool and England striker different: he has a football story like no other player in the modern game. Crouch has risen from humble beginnings at non-league Dulwich Hamlet on loan to be an England striker and the first to score ten international goals in a calendar year.
His career has not been the smooth journey from teen prodigy to Premiership star enjoyed by so many of his England team-mates. Booed by England fans in October 2005, Crouch had the same supporters on their feet with a hat-trick for his country eight months later. WALKING TALL is about a footballer who has always found himself under intense scrutiny - for the way he looks as much as his ability on the pitch.
Crouch's story is also about his constant battle to win over the doubters. He talks about the managers who have backed him - as well as those who have written him off - and relives the pain of rejection at Aston Villa, contrasted with the elation of his 7 million transfer to Liverpool just one year later in the summer of 2005.
Crouch was a key figure in England's 2006 World Cup campaign and in WALKING TALL he talks about his famous robot dance as well as the goals and the disappointments of that summer in Germany. For Crouch, the journey continues under Rafael Benitez at Anfield and with Fabio Capello's England team. Funny, honest and open, WALKING TALL is the story of an unlikely hero.

And how we, too, will change.

Description
This book explores connections between control theory and geometric mechanics. The author links control theory with a geometric view of classical mechanics in both its Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulations, and in particular with the theory of mechanical systems subject to motion constraints. The synthesis is appropriate as there is a rich connection between mechanics and nonlinear control theory. The book provides a unified treatment of nonlinear control theory and constrained mechanical systems that incorporates material not available in other recent texts. The book benefits graduate students and researchers in the area who want to enhance their understanding and enhance their techniques.

6. The Wright Brothers and the Invention of the Aerial Age
Description
This is the latest book marking the hundredth anniversary of the Wright brothers' epic flight at Kitty Hawk. Crouch and Jakab, curators at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, trace the brothers' lives from their early years in Dayton, Ohio, and the events leading up to the invention of the airplane. The authors describe how the two men spent five years of work on a flying machine before the first flight; their relationship to Octave Chanute, "the grand old man of aeronautics"; their problems in obtaining an engine that met their weight limitation; and the flight itself. "At every critical juncture in the Wrights' journey to practical flight, these innate skills and approaches to invention are readily apparent," the authors write. "As we follow the brothers' remaining steps toward final success, it will become clear that Wilbur and Orville were far more than fine mechanics who managed to coax a flying machine into the air." With 100 archival photographs, this work offers the most comprehensive portrait of these ingenious brothers yet written. George Cohen Copyright American Library Association. All rights reserved7.
