The top snooker players in the world compete for several trophies every year, but one carries more prestige than all the others put together - the World Championship. No other tournament in the sport carries with it so much history, so many golden moments of spectacular success and dramatic failure. Meticulously researched and including exclusive interview material with Steve Davis, Stephen Hendry and 2005 world champion Shaun Murphy, among others, Masters of the Baize is a comprehensive guide to the men who have lifted the greatest prize in snooker. From the legendary Joe Davis, the first champion in 1927, to modern-day masters like Mark Williams, all the sport's world champions are put under the microscope, while the colourful careers of forgotten figures such as Walter Donaldson and John Pulman and rogue heroes like Alex Higgins and Ronnie O'Sullivan are brought vividly to life. After uncovering the inauspicious origins of the game in nineteenth-century India, the authors examine every former world champion in his own comprehensive chapter. Additionally, a special section focuses on the extraordinary popularity of Jimmy White, by far the greatest player never to have won the title and one of the most emotive names in the sport.

Amanda Ryan lives to be with horses. She has taken lessons from her beloved riding instructor Kate Brown at Lakeview Stables, an American Saddlebred farm in Missouri, for as long as she can remember. Amanda can't imagine a life without riding and showing. When she receives a special horse, Storm, she is full of anticipation and excitement for what the future may hold. But when Amanda learns that Storm's true identity is uncertain and that his history is possibly marked by criminal dealings, her world is turned upside down. World Champion Material is a suspenseful and engaging read for anyone who loves horses--and for those who simply enjoy a good story well-told.
