This report is a study of diving within professional football and the unfair impact it has on the sport. It is the first ever data-driven analysis of the phenomenon in the history of football.Many people would deny an objective analysis is even possible, arguing that all judgements about diving are necessarily subjective and inherently fallible. But this report shows how science can be applied to the challenge of understanding diving behaviour in real life matches and tournaments.We also set out to search for praiseworthy examples of honour and honesty within the game. Fortunately, we have been able to identify players reaching the highest levels of footballing success without diving. We shine a light on them in hope they will inspire a new generation to excel in both sport and life through their skills and strength rather than deception.

Ever wonder who the famous figures are on various banknotes and how the concept of ?paying the bearer” first originated? This monetary miscellany of unusual banknotes tells the story of different nations' notes (like the unusual Faroese Króna) and the lesser-known people and places depicted on them. The history of the U.S. dollar is covered in full, including a list of the numerous slang terms for it that have developed through the ages, and stories of famous forgeries and money launderers along the way. Following currency from 7th-century China to the (cancelled) 500 Euro note, color reproductions make this a fascinating insight into banknotes, famous faces, and the whole history of legal tender.
