The collaboration of the philosopher Gilles Deleuze and the psychoanalyst Felix Guattari has been one of the most profoundly influential partnerships in contemporary thought. Anti-Oedipus is the first part of their masterpiece, Capitalism and Schizophrenia. Ranging widely across the radical tradition of 20th-century thought and culture that preceeded them - from Foucault, Lacan and Jung to Samuel Beckett and Henry Miller - this revolutionary analysis of the intertwining of desire, reality and capitalist society is an essential read for anyone interested in postwar continental thought.

Highly controversial when it was first published in 1981, Alasdair MacIntyre's After Virtue has since established itself as a landmark work in contemporary moral philosophy. In this book, MacIntyre sought to address a crisis in moral language that he traced back to a European Enlightenment that had made the formulation of moral principles increasingly difficult. In the search for a way out of this impasse, MacIntyre returns to an earlier strand of ethical thinking, that of Aristotle, who emphasised the importance of 'virtue' to the ethical life. More than thirty years after its original publication, After Virtue remains a work that is impossible to ignore for anyone interested in our understanding of ethics and morality today.

The definitive guide to Expected Goals analysis (xG) from a world-respected football analysis expert and bestselling author.The Expected Goals method, otherwise known as 'xG' measures the quality of chances that teams and players have at creating and conceding goals. Every shot which takes place in a football match carries an xG value: a shot from twenty-five yards might be worth 0.02(xG) and a tap in from inside the six-yard box would be 0.90(xG) while a penalty shot always amounts to 0.77(xG).Initially used by betting companies and football clubs, the Expected Goals method has now made it into mainstream media with regular appearances on major broadcasting channels. The statistic is also a regular discussion point among football fans as they learn how to use the data to evaluate their favourite team's fortune. Will a team's undisturbed run of wins last? Football clubs, big and small, now turn to analysts to dissect each player's every action and Premier League giants use the data to identify hidden gems in the transfer market and scout upcoming opponents. Did you know that only about one in every nine shots in the Premier League ends up as a goal? Why Brighton are the unluckiest team in football history? What the 'Timo Werner paradox' is? How xG has changed how teams play football? James Tippett answers these questions and more in this definitive guide to Expected Goals analysis through real-life examples.
