This is the story of a team of a dozen English cricketers that traveled to Canada and North America in 1859 to compete in the very first intercontinental sporting tour. It tells of the early origins of the game and provides an intimate insight into the lives of the characters, which influenced the early development of the Victorian game, including each of the players who bravely embarked on the perilous transatlantic journey. The book reveals comprehensive information about each of the matches played during the tour and subsequent developments that brought about radical changes in the governance of the game. It provides an absorbing and informative read for the cricket enthusiast and those with an interest in the early history of the English game.

A new edition of the first book by the bestselling author of A History of the World in 6 Glasses-the fascinating story of the telegraph, the world's first "Internet," which revolutionized the nineteenth century even more than the Internet has the twentieth and twenty first. The Victorian Internet tells the colorful story of the telegraph's creation and remarkable impact, and of the visionaries, oddballs, and eccentrics who pioneered it, from the eighteenth-century French scientist Jean-Antoine Nollet to Samuel F. B. Morse and Thomas Edison. The electric telegraph nullified distance and shrank the world quicker and further than ever before or since, and its story mirrors and predicts that of the Internet in numerous ways.
