Synopsis

It's time to say it loud and clear – it's not a luxury to have a home, it's a human right. It's time we all found room in our hearts to help end homelessness. Joining the Homeless World Cup family is the first step in realising that goal. From the foreword by VAL McDERMID
An estimated 100 million people worldwide are homeless and 1.6 billion live in sub-standard housing. But how can such a simple game like football tackle such a complex problem?
Mel Young and Peter Barr tell the story of the 1.2 million homeless people from 70 countries who have taken part in the Homeless World Cup since it started in 2003.
Home Game describes its profound impact on players, spectators and society at large – and how 'a ball can change the world'

    Relentless tells the story of the rise of Cork ladies football between 2005 and 2016. Having never won a senior title in the sport in 2004, by 2016 the team had won ten All-Ireland titles in eleven years. Mary White takes the reader behind the scenes and shows what made the Cork ladies footballers one of the most successful teams ever in the history of Irish sport.
    The book was shortlisted for the 2015 Setanta Ireland Sports Book of the Year. This edition contains a new afterword from the author, bringing the story up to the present day.
    'It would have been disastrous if the best team in Irish sport had passed into history without their story being told. Luckily for them and for us, Mary White was there taking notes right from the beginning and can give an outsider's view with an insider's knowledge. It's not often that happens. A great insight into a truly great team.' – Malachy Clerkin, The Irish Times

    This is a 3-book bundle, which addresses various subtopics, including but not limited to these: 
      
      
    Book 1: When it all hits the fan, some know how to survive and some don’t. Knowledge and experience are at the root of survival in troubled times. We do not always know when those times come, so it can be useful to explore the possibilities of living off the grid, becoming independent, and living without water from the faucet, electricity, or internet. 
      
    In this book, we’ll touch on some of the most important elements of survival, such as: 
      
    ·     Creating water filters 
    ·     Getting clean, purified water. 
    ·     Staying cool during hot seasons without technology or airconditioning. 
      
      
      
    Book 2: This book covers a range of topics that don’t seem to be related at first, but if you look closer, you’ll see the bigger picture. All of these topics are more or less connected to the idea of fending for yourself, being able to survive off the grid, or in case of a major disaster. 
      
    The first chapter focuses on something specific: Survival in the jungle. As we all know, the jungle is beautiful but also infested with bacteria, bugs, venomous and predatorial animals, and full of both toxic and edible plants. Learning what to do there can make all the difference if you were ever to make it through in such a climate. 
      
    Book 3: In this short but informative book, we will focus on three essentials of survival skills: 
      
    First, we’ll talk about the best ways to purify water. This, alone, is something all people need to know. Water can make you sick or heal you and keep you alive. Knowing what you’re doing, is what will help you most.
