What happens when the football team you support suddenly gains new owners and new ideas? Get a Football Coach that seems more like a Philosopher than a footballer? What happens when your team start playing beautiful football? Get promoted to the Premier League? What happens when they start doing everything right but you, the doughnut who goes every week to watch them has to deal with the dichotomy of your team doing well while you are eating Fray Bentos pies and looking for bargains in Poundland? Enjoy the tales and the madness from Sunderland to Southampton. From the top of a Welsh Mountain to the cloying atmosphere of London. But more importantly find out how a Philosopher from a small island in the Atlantic came to the Midlands of England to stamp a philosophy and a movement on a team that held glory as a distant monochrome memory and in his own way brought a whole City to it's feet to sing his name. 'Viva Nuno' is a strange book. Metaphysics, Psychogeography, friends dealing with Heroin withdrawal, broken legs, broken hearts. There is love, beautiful football, tears, anger, near death experiences. This book runs through a whole gamut of emotive experiences and was written 'on the spot' and barely changed from notes written on the back of programmes and on phones. It's a ride of a lifetime that runs from the lowest points of this record breaking Wolves season to the very highest. Sometimes the confusion is evident in the prose but that confusion is all part and parcel of the experience and the insanity. "We are the media now.....fuck, my biscuit has fell in my tea. Yeah the disinformation, the fake articles, the men in tight suits and tighter expense accounts, the back slappers, the sidlers, idlers, the useless dregs of the old order...picking out a floating half a biscuit in hot tea, shoving it in your face while your fingers burn. Got it all out too. Kwan. Belief. Just say No to Fake Football journalism."My advice is to settle down and be open to this particular experience. Make a cup of tea and grab a packet of biscuits. Find out what experiences we have shared as football fans. This book will make you cry, laugh, shout, throw stuff. But more importantly it will show you how football affects supporters in their day to day lives. This book is for us and for every other football supporter that has lost hope. Never forget...'Out of Darkness Cometh Light'

Typography has jumped off the printed page to stand on its own as branding, sculpture, and even architecture. Lettering Large examines this phenomenon through a diverse collection of images collected from a vast range of sources around the world. As technology has made construction and production of monumental letters possible, the demand for their design has grown exponentially. This book is the first to chronicle letters as presences in the urban landscape. Preeminent graphic design and typographic commentator and historian Steve Heller teams with Mirko Ilić, a noted graphic designer, to select the most dramatic and telling examples culled from sites across the United States and throughout Europe and Asia.

Wittgenstein's Artillery

How Wittgenstein sought a more effective way of reaching his audience by a poetic style of doing philosophy. Ludwig Wittgenstein once said, "Really one should write philosophy only as one writes poetry." In Wittgenstein's Artillery, James Klagge shows how, in search of ways to reach his audience, Wittgenstein tried a more poetic style of doing philosophy. Klagge argues that, deploying this new philosophical "artillery"--Klagge's term for Wittgenstein's methods of influencing his readers and students--Wittgenstein moved from an esoteric mode to an evangelical mode, aiming for an effect on his audience that was noncognitive, appealing to the temperament in addition to the intellect. Wittgenstein was an artillery spotter--directing artillery fire to targets--in the Austrian army during World War I, and Klagge argues that, years later, he became a philosophical spotter, struggling to find the right artillery to accomplish his philosophical purpose. Klagge shows how Wittgenstein's work with his students influenced his style of writing philosophy and motivated him to care about the effect of his ideas on his audience. To illustrate Wittgenstein's evolving approach, Klagge draws on not only Wittgenstein's best-known works but also such lesser-known material as notebooks, dictations, lectures, and recollections of students. Klagge then goes beyond Wittgenstein to present a range of literature--biblical parables and children's stories, Dostoevsky and Tolstoy, Kierkegaard and Nietzsche--as other examples of the poetic approach. He concludes by offering his own attempts at a poetic approach to addressing philosophical issues.
