Why the Pain, What’s the Gain?

The Quest for Extreme Fitness

Daniel Kunitz Running, jumping, lifting, pushing, stretching – our bodies are naturally built to move and work, strengthen and adapt.

Yet the gym is a modern phenomenon and ‘working out’ a concept that has produced one of the world’s biggest industries: fitness. An industry whose changing ideals have come to reflect society’s cultural shifts on what it means to be fit, and how to have the perfect physique.

Why the Pain? What’s the Gain? takes you on a guided tour of humankind’s 3000-year wayward search for the perfect workout; from the dirt courtyards of the ancient Greek gymnasium to the birth of the modern gym in 19thcentury Paris to the weekend, beachside Olympic-caliber gymnasts of Santa Monica and Sydney. Daniel Kunitz seeks the answer to a simple yet profound question: Why do we work out?

We will listen in on the innovators and charlatans who lifted the multibillion-dollar business of gym-fitness into being. We will learn how the women’s movement sparked an enormous exercise boom and tell the story not only of how we arrived at the big-box gym era but also of the last decade’s acceleration into a new fitness frontier.

Daniel Kunitz puts himself through the grit and pain of the cross fit, parkour and Tough Mudder regimes, searching not just for new-found physique, but on a quest to understand the pain and more precisely the gain of working out.

The Race Against the Stasi The Incredible Story of Dieter Wiedemann, the Iron Curtain and the Greatest Cycling Race on Earth

Herbie Sykes When the ‘Iron Curtain’ descended across Europe, Dieter Wiedemann was a hero of East German sport. A podium finisher in The Peace Race, the Eastern Bloc equivalent of the Tour de France, he was a pin-up for the supremacy of socialism over the ‘fascist’ West.

But then he met the girl who lived on the wrong side of the Wall. In 1964, Dieter Wiedemann defected to the other side.

Through first-hand testimony and newly-released Stasi files, Herbie Sykes uncovers the astonishing tale of Wiedemann’s defection and its consequences for him and his family. It is one of love and betrayal, of the madness at the heart of the Cold War, and of the greatest bike race in history.

First Lady The Life and Wars of Clementine Churchill

Sonia Purnell Without Churchill’s inspiring leadership Britain could not have survived its darkest hour and repelled the Nazi menace. Without his wife Clementine, however, he might never have become Prime Minister.

By his own admission, the Second World War would have been ‘impossible without her’.

Now, acclaimed biographer Sonia Purnell explores the peculiar dynamics of this fascinating union.

From the personal and political upheavals of the Great War, through the Churchills’ ‘wilderness years’ in the 1930s, to Clementine’s desperate efforts to preserve her husband’s health during the struggle against Hitler, Purnell presents the inspiring but often ignored story of one of the most important women in modern history.

Sonia Purnell is the former Whitehall Correspondent at the Daily Telegraph and Whitehall Editor at the Daily Mail.

Her first book Just Boris: A Tale of Blond Ambition, was a widely acclaimed portrait of London Mayor Boris Johnson, and was long listed for the Orwell Prize.

‘Well researched and fluently written.

Eminently readable.’

All Behind You, Winston The Remarkable Men and Women of Churchill’s War Ministry

Roger Hermiston All Behind You, Winston tells the story of the most remarkable gathering of leaders in modern British history: the War Ministry that saw the country through its darkest – and finest – hour.

When Winston Churchill became Prime Minister on 10 May 1940, it was not with the unanimous support of Westminster or the country. For many, Lord Halifax was the obvious choice to succeed Neville Chamberlain, and Churchill’s grasp of the Home Front appeared uncertain at best. He assembled around him, however, a Cabinet of ‘all the talents’; which would variously mobilise, arm, feed, fund, shelter, evacuate, heal and, ultimately, save Britain.

Among these remarkable men – and women – were Churchill’s rivals Lord Halifax and Sir Stafford Cripps, the loyal and dogged Clement Attlee, titanic egos such as Lord Beaverbrook and John Reith, the popular department store owner Lord Woolton (the man who kept the nation fed), the propagandist and playboy Duff Cooper, and many of the statesmen who would go on to build the New Jerusalem in peacetime. By 1945 they had not only steered the country to victory, they had also ensured Churchill’s inviolable position in our national myth – an outcome that had seemed far from likely five years earlier.

In a series of character-driven chapters, Roger Hermiston, a former deputy editor on Radio 4’s Today and the author of The Greatest Traitor, will tell the behindclosed-doors story of the key figures and key ministries, delving deep into the archives to bring to life a Cabinet that was both the brain and the conscience of the nation.

Jutland 1916 Twelve Hours that Decided the Great War

Angus Konstam The Battle of Jutland was fought from 31 May to 1 June 1916 in the North Sea, near the coast of Denmark’s Jutland Peninsula. It was the largest naval battle and the only full-scale clash of battleships in the First World War. The Royal Navy lost more ships and twice as many sailors, but failed to force a decisive outcome, while German plan of destroying the British fleet’s numerical advantage also failed.

After the battle, the German fleet continued to pose a threat, requiring the British to keep their battleships concentrated in the North Sea, but the battle confirmed the German policy of avoiding all fleet-to-fleet contact, and by the end of the year turned its efforts and resources to submarine warfare.

Jutland 1916: Twelve Hours that Decided the Great War tells the story of this great naval clash. Drawing on a wealth of first-hand accounts, some of which were previously unknown, this book weaves a highly original narrative into a fast-paced account of the fighting.

Angus Konstam is a respected military and naval historian. A former Royal Naval officer, maritime archaeologist and museum curator, he is also the author of several books including a biography of Blackbeard, histories of piracy, Renaissance ships and Bannockburn.

The Secret Life of Fighter Command The Men and Women Who Beat the Luftwaffe

Sinclair McKay During the dark days of 1940, when Britain faced the might of Hitler’s armed forces alone, the RAF played an integral role in winning the Battle of Britain against the Luftwaffe, thus ensuring the country’s safety from invasion. The men and women of Fighter Command worked tirelessly in air bases scattered throughout the length and breadth of Britain to thwart the Nazi attacks; The Secret Life of Fighter Command tells their story.

From setting up the ground-breaking radar systems along the coast of the Southeast of England, to the distribution of spotters of bombing waves coming along the Thames Estuary, the boffins who designed and built the guidance and detection structures to organise a winning defence umbrella, to the Wrens who plotted enemy movements and then conveyed this to the various RAF squadrons stationed in the UK’s zonal defence system – all of them played a part in maintaining the security over Britain. Through exclusive interviews with various members of this unique and world famous organisation, bestselling author Sinclair McKay tells the human story of how Britain survived the Nazi onslaught and enabled our Hurricanes and Spitfires to triumph over the German airforce.

Sinclair McKay is the bestselling author of The Secret Life of Bletchley Park and The Secret Listeners for Aurum, as well as histories of Hammer films, the James Bond films, and the pastime of rambling.

The Secret Life of Ealing Studios Britain’s Favourite Film Studio

Robert Sellers. Foreword by Martin Scorsese A behind-the-scenes account of life at Ealing Studios – one of the great cinematic success stories of post-war Britain, and a byword for a particular strain of comic filmmaking that continues to inspire imitators over half a century on.

Told through the memories of the people who worked and performed there, The Secret Life of Ealing Studios will explore how a small group of maverick filmmakers, some of Britain’s most fondly remembered movie stars, and a lot of unsung backroom boys and girls, created pictures that presented a unique and enduring view of British identity, and which have since become classics. At the heart of the story will be the figure of Michael Balcon – perhaps the closest Britain has ever come to producing a movie mogul in the Hollywood mould – and iconic actors such as Peter Sellers, Alec Guinness and Margaret Rutherford.

Breaking the Jump The Secret Story of Parkour’s High Flying Rebellion

Julie Angel From its humble origins in the backstreets and rooftops of Paris’s urban jungle, to the tops of London and New York’s skyscrapers, Parkour has become an adrenaline-fuelled implosion on the urban landscape. But more than a sport that most jaw-dropped onlookers can bare to comprehend, Parkour is an exploration of movement and a return to our body’s natural ability to run, jump, hang and move with fluidity.

For the first time, Julie Angel tells the story of Parkour’s beginnings – the diverse, intriguing and unusual characters who went to the rooftops, hung off the stairwells and jumped between buildings as they trained through the night, often risking their lives, and created something that has become a worldwide phenomenon. Breaking the Jump tells the unknown story behind Parkour’s rise, and asks what is it that drives those who stand on the edge and think, ‘Go!’.

Julie Angel is a British filmmaker, artist, academic and writer. After finding Parkour, she became interested in the idea of movement and free-running, making it the focus of her PhD and setting up the movement group See&Do.

On Trails From Anthills to the Alps, How Trails Make Sense of a Chaotic World

Robert Moor A strikingly original debut from a tremendous new talent, Moor explores the nature of the trails and pathways that shape our world. In the vein of Rebecca Solnit’s Wanderlust: A History of Walking, Moor navigates the small and particular, tracing the formation of trails from the most tiny – ants, termites, tent caterpillars; neural pathways, minute fossil trails – to the vastest and most diffuse, including the International Appalachian Trail, what will be the world’s longest footpath, spanning from Alabama to Morocco.

Moor’s deep search for meaning introduces readers to experts who work with trails of all kind, outrageous hiking anecdotes and spectacular descriptions of landscapes and animal behaviour. Moor’s book gives an eye-opening tour, leaving us with a much richer, prismatic take on what we constantly take for granted: how we get where we’re going.

The Man Who Created Star Trek Gene Roddenberry: A Biography

Lance Parkin 8 September 2016 will mark the fiftieth anniversary of the debut of the world’s most successful science fiction television series: Star Trek. In this new biography Lance Parkin goes in search of the show’s creator, Gene Roddenberry.

This book reveals how an undistinguished writer of cop shows set out to produce ‘Hornblower in space’ and ended up with an optimistic, almost utopian view of humanity’s future that has been watched and loved by hundreds of millions of people around the world.

From the early episodes, through the show’s wilderness years in the 1970s and its resurgence in film and Star Trek: The Next Generation (and Rodenberry’s later estrangement from both), Parkin sheds light on the colourful personal life, selfmythologising and strange beliefs of a man who nonetheless gifted popular culture one if its most enduring narratives.

Lance Parkin is best known for writing fiction and reference books for television series, most notably Doctor Who. He has contributed to TV Zone, SFX and Doctor Who Magazine. For Aurum he has written Magic Words: The Extraordinary Life of Alan Moore.

The Blitzed City The Destruction of Coventry, 1940

Karen Farrington The Luftwaffe’s targetting and destruction of Coventry city remains the biggest and most destructive air raid on British soil during the Second World War. Seen as a centre of British armaments production, the German high command wished to inflict terror and panic on the British public, a plan that had paid dividends during their relentless conquest of France. Attacking over two nights in November, 1940 they systematically bombed and destroyed the bulk of the city, making thousands homeless, and killing over 400 men, women and children.

Now, for the very first time, Karen Farrington interviews those veterans who survived the raid and helped fight the flames and bombs to tell the story of this iconic event.

When We Were Lions Euro ’96 and the Last Great British Summer

Paul Rees 2016 will mark the 20th anniversary of the 1996 European Cup, hosted in England, when the national football team reached the semi-finals to be knocked out, on penalties, by Germany.

It was also the end of a generation – these were the last footballers to be brought up on beer and sweat.

1996 was also a significant date across the British spectrum. It was the year that BritPop went global. The Lad culture of the 90’s peaked in 1996 when James Brown turned Loaded Magazine from a 100k readership into a 1 million+ readership, and Simon Fuller of 19 Management was making his first steps into turning footballers into the next celebrities. And, of course, Skinner and Baddiel wrote that song, which became an anthem for a generation who seemed to have never had it so good. The Tories were on their way out, although unemployment was at a record low, Blair could do no wrong, and it was a glorious summer, where everything seemed possible.

Though it wasn’t all a haze of a halcyon summer, it was the first time that England had played a unified Germany since before the war, old prejudices reared their heads and the marginalised hooligans of the game were hidden only by a lick of paint that the old Wembley stadium got ahead of the tournament.

Starting with Gazza’s goal against Scotland and ending later that summer when the dream was over, but the belief remained that this really was a great time for Britain.

Through that narrative will be woven a portrait of an England which was proud to wear Three Lions on the Shirt.

Modern Retro From Rustic to Urban, Classic to Colourful

Caroline Clifton-Mogg In that yawning gap between the antique and the new, there is something else. Some call it vintage, some retro, but whatever the name the concept is the same – the objects and furniture that are not quite old and not quite new, but are always original and unique. Modern Retro looks at this fascinating area of design and decoration. The arrangement of rooms – where to put what – has always been a vital part of successful interior decoration, and it is even more important when it comes to creating an interior that is a mixture of the expected and the completely unexpected. It is an art and it requires a real skill, for there has to be respect for every objet trouvé, as well as an understanding of how each element will work best. Modern Retro shows how to combine, how to edit and how to put the unlikely and the unusual together in a sympathetic way. Inspiration and ideas occupy every page of this absorbing book.

Peter Gordon’s Vibrant Salads Salads from Simple to Sublime

Peter Gordon What defines a salad? Is it merely a few ingredients tossed together in a bowl with a dressing, or is it more complex than that?

Acclaimed chef Peter Gordon shows us that salads are versatile and fun dishes that harmoniously combine a mixture of individually prepared ingredients, that when coming together, can either be very similar in texture and colour, or ones that oppose each other – such as crunch supporting smooth.

Peter demonstrates how salads can be made to suit your mood; some salads are perfectly crafted assemblages, whilst others are quickly put together. By adding a contrasting flavour or texture to a mix, it can often highlight other ingredients in the same dish.

Peter’s salads are wide-ranging and the recipes within Simple Salads reflect this; from vegetarian dishes such as aubergine with gem, quinoa and pistachio, to red meat based salads such as poached veal with anchovy mayonnaise and potatoes. Whatever your mood, the occasion or season, there will always be a salad to complement it.

Peter Gordon is an internationally acclaimed chef, often referred to as the “Godfather” of Fusion cuisine.

Peter has opened numerous restaurants in London, such as The Sugar Club, The Providores and, more recently, Kopapa.

Monet’s Garden in Art Debra N. Mancoff This book focuses on Monet’s garden at Giverny as seen through his paintings, offering a revealing insight into the artist and his work.

Monet’s garden was a private haven where domestic pleasure, artistic vision and aesthetic delight converged. It became as powerful a passion in his life as painting – he chose his planting schemes as carefully as he chose colours for his palette. It was also the inspiration for his art, and the subject of some of his greatest paintings.

Exploring his vision of the world of beauty he brought into being, Debra Mancoff shows how Monet’s endeavours as a gardener were part of his identity as a painter and how his artistic vision drew strength from his passion for his garden.

Debra N. Mancoff is an art historian and author of over 20 books on European and American art and culture. She lectures at many major museums in the USA and Great Britain.

Based in Chicago, she is a Scholar-inResidence at the Newberry Library.

Shakespeare’s Gardens Jackie Bennett and Andrew Lawson Shakespeare’s Gardens is a highly illustrated, informative book about the gardens that William Shakespeare knew as a boy and tended as a man, published to coincide with the 400th anniversary of his death in April 2016.

Published in association with the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, the book focuses on five gardens in Stratford upon Avon. From Will’s birthplace in Henley Street, to his childhood playground at Mary Arden’s Farm, to his courting days at Anne Hathaway’s Cottage and his final home at New Place – where he created a garden to reflect his fame and wealth. These gardens are continually evolving to reflect our ongoing knowledge of his life.

The book will also explore the plants that Shakespeare knew and wrote about: their use in his work and the meanings that his audiences would have picked up on. Four centuries after the playwright lived, whenever we think of thyme, violets or roses, we are reminded of a line from his work.

Shakespeare’s Gardens brings together specially commissioned photographs of the gardens with a sprinkling of beautiful archive images of flowers and old herbals. It tells the story of Shakespeare’s journey – from glove maker’s son to national bard – and how he came to know so much about the plants, flowers and gardens of the Elizabethan world.

Jackie Bennett has written six gardening books including The Writer’s Garden (Frances Lincoln 2014), Wild About The Garden and The Cottage Garden. She writes for The English Garden magazine and is a former editor of The Garden Design Journal.

Andrew Lawson is a painter and a distinguished garden photographer. He was awarded the RHS Gold Medal for photography and twice was winner of the Garden Media Guild’s Photographer of the Year Award.

Gardens of the Italian Lakes Stephen Desmond and Marianne Majerus The gardens around Lake Como and Lake Maggiore, in the far north of Italy, are admired throughout the world for their beauty and variety in a magnificent natural location. This unique book will become the standard work on these gardens. It will appeal to both to the specialist and enthusiast preparing for a visit.

The common factor for all these gardens is their setting in this landscape of exceptional scenery.

Lake Como is a deep lake hemmed in like a fjord by towering mountains. Lake Maggiore has more the character of an inland sea, with ferries crossing to the famous island gardens for an afternoon in another world. Both lakes are lined with the towers, villas and grand hotels that speak of a complex history including key events in Italy’s struggle to achieve nationhood, inspiration for a string of illustrious writers and composers, and a long line of distinguished visitors.

Steven Desmond is a gardener, writer and lecturer and has led more than thirty specialist tours to the gardens of the Italian Lakes. He writes for Country Life and lectures at the University of Oxford and for NADFAS. Marianne Majerus is a prestigious and prolific international photographer of gardens and winner of the Garden Media Guild Features Photographer of the Year Award 2013 as well as the GMG Photographer of the Year 2010.

The New Wild Garden Ian Hodgson The New Wild Garden combines new approaches to a more naturalistic design with the practical side of growing wildflowers and shows how to incorporate wildflowers, real meadows and a looser meadow-style planting into gardens and wild spaces.

With serious concern into the decline of pollinators and habitats, meadows are currently the focus of enormous creativity. Gardeners, wildlife lovers, professional designers and seed manufacturers are all pushing the envelope of what can be grown, the pictorial effects that can be achieved, and the benefits that this provides for gardeners and wildlife.

This book includes fifteen step-by-step projects and an essential plant list, as well as offering inspiration to gardeners and an overview of the most influential movement in garden design over recent decades.

• How to sow or plant a meadow to suit your space, soil, situation and wildlife; • Planting plans for every plot size: from a container, small patch or allotment to an acre; • How to grow and propagate more than 50 kinds of wildflowers; • Understand and emulate the new natural style followed by designers.

Ian Hodgson is former editor of The Garden magazine (published by the Royal Horticultural Society) with 30 years’ experience as a writer and editor for the horticultural press. He is a qualified landscape architect, and is currently Editor-atLarge for Garden News and Garden Answers magazines with a combined monthly circulation of more than 150,000 readers. Ian lives and gardens in Peterborough, UK.

The Modern MAMIL Joel Rickett and Spencer Wilson A mid-life crisis no longer means a flashy sports car. Instead it’s all about the bike: specifically a souped-up ultra-light carbon road machine.

Welcome to the world of the MAMILs (MiddleAged Men In Lycra) – that strange tribe who are addicted to sweating up steep hills wearing illadvised bib shorts.

The Modern MAMIL There is a new breed emerging. They hunt in packs, dressed in unforgiving lycra. Their natural habitat is the local espresso bar, where they obsess about power-to-weight ratios and worship the latest high-tech road bikes. Desperate to shave a few milligrams for speed, they will spend thousands on anything made out of carbon – conveniently forgetting about their own waistlines. At night they dream they are Bradley Wiggins or Alberto Contador. They are the Mamils. And they are taking over the world.

The Modern MAMIL – A Cyclist’s A-Z takes a humorous look at cycling and the middle-aged man in lycra.

The Modern MAMIL: A Cyclist’s Journal This notebook can be used as a training log, a place to record race dates, targets and route notes.

Joel Rickett is a publisher and a (very) occasional writer.

His previous books include How To Avoid Huge Ships and Whitstable Mum in Custard Shortage.

A modern-day Hogarth, Beryl Cook was a social observer, albeit with a more sympathetic view of humanity. The warm, original style of her paintings encapsulates joy. She possessed that rare gift – the power to uplift.

When Julie’s dog disappears into a mysterious garden, Julie follows him – and finds herself in a beautiful garden-within-a-garden where the roses grow like splashes of paint and a Japanese bridge bows over a silent pool. There she finds not only her dog, but also Claude Monet. The famous artist introduces her to his work and his garden, giving her encouragement that the young would-be artist will never forget. Set against the romantic, world-famous backdrop of Monet’s garden at Giverny, the story is accompanied by reproductions of the artist’s most celebrated paintings and a biographical note on Monet.

The World-Famous Cheese Shop Break-in Sean Taylor and Hannah Shaw Daddypops says it will be as easy as 123 to get into the Cheese Shop…

First he tells his children to just walk through the door and get the cheese…

But THAT doesn’t work. Then he makes a catapult and fires them into the shop…. THAT doesn’t work either.

Finally Daddypops has his most brilliant idea ever. He gets a pickaxe, a shovel and a bucket and tells the children what to do. They will dig a tunnel to the Cheese Shop, and break through to the shop floor at dead of night.

What could go wrong?

In this laugh-out-loud story, the rats get the surprise of their lives when they pop out of their tunnel. They are not in the Cheese Shop at all – they’re surrounded by Fancy Pants and Underwear. And that’s when Daddypops has yet another good idea!

Sean Taylor is an author, storyteller and teacher with experience of creative writing teaching worldwide.

How To Look After Your Human includes: • Tips and techniques on everything from choosing the right human for you, to managing diet and exercise; • A guide to deciphering human language, including which words you should be paying attention to (very few) and those you should ignore entirely (rather a lot); • Advice on the vexed issues of fancy dress (canine) and personal hygiene (human).

Tell Me a Picture Adventures in Looking At Art

Quentin Blake In 2001, Quentin Blake – the first Children’s Laureate – chose twenty-six of his favourite paintings for an exhibition at the National Gallery.

Very different artworks were chosen, some by fine artists and some by children’s illustrators, but they all had one thing in common: a story to tell.

The accompanying book urges children to use their imaginations and look for the stories in the pictures. Reissued with a new introduction from the author, Tell Me A Picture will show a new generation the adventures that await in looking at art.

Quentin Blake is one of the best-known and best-loved illustrators of our time, and his books with a wide range of authors, including Joan Aiken, Russell Hoban, Michael Rosen and Roald Dahl, have been treasured by generations of children throughout the world. In 1999 he became the first Children’s Laureate. In 2005 he was awarded a CBE, and in 2013 he was knighted for services to illustration. He lives in London.

American Muscle Cars A Full-Throttle History

Darwin Holmstrom In the 1960s, three incendiary ingredients – V-8 engine technology, a culture consumed by the need for speed, and 75 million baby boomers entering the auto market – exploded in the form of the factory muscle car.

The resulting vehicles defined the sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll generation.

American Muscle Cars chronicles this tumultuous period of American history through the primary tool Americans use to define themselves: their automobiles.

From the street-racing hot rod culture through to the new breed of muscle cars built by Detroit today, this book brings to life the history of the muscle car. Featuring fascinating historic photography, beautiful contemporary photos, a three-panel gatefold with special artwork, and a thorough chronology of the muscle car story, this is the most complete history of these classic cars that you’ll find anywhere.

Darwin Holmstrom has written, co-written, or contributed to over 30 books including GTO: Fifty Years and Top Muscle: The Rarest Cars from America’s Fastest Decade. Darwin is the senior editor for Motorbooks.

The One Percenter Code How to Be an Outlaw in a World Gone Soft

Dave Nichols. Photography by Kim Peterson In The One Percenter Code, bestselling Motorbooks author and editor of Easyriders magazine Dave Nichols picks up where he left off in One Percenter: The Legend of the Outlaw Biker. Nichols takes readers inside the world of outlaw motorcycle clubs and pulls back the secretive curtain on the biker lifestyle. Being a member of a one percenter motorcycle club requires extreme discipline; in this book, Nichols shows us what that life offers in return.

Nichols delves into the one percenter code of conduct and honour and finds something that is sorely lacking in modern society. He shows us how we can apply those values in our own lives. The world of the outlaw biker has its own roughhewn rules of order, and The One Percenter Code acts as a guidebook to that truth-, honour-, and brotherhood-based world.

Dave Nichols has been editor-in-chief of Easyriders and V-Twin motorcycle magazines since 1998 and is the bestselling author of One Percenter.

Can-Am 50th Anniversary Flat Out with North America’s Greatest Race Series 1966-1974

George Levy. Photography by Pete Biro From its introduction in 1966 to its classic end in 1974, North America’s Can-Am series was the most exciting, technologically advanced, and starstudded racing series of the day.

Can-Am 50th Anniversary offers an illustrated look back at a time when road racing circuits were at their peak. The appeal of Can-Am was its essentially rules-free formula, which attracted everyone from crazed backyard engineers to specialists such as McLaren, Chaparral, Ford, Ferrari, and Porsche. Top drivers including Mario Andretti, Bruce McLaren, Jackie Ickx, and John Surtees competed on tracks across the US and Canada taking time off from Formula One schedules to drive in Can-Am because the racing and the cars were so exciting.

Can-Am 50th Anniversary is packed with their stories and the great racing photography of Pete Biro, Goodyear Tire’s official photographer at the time.

George Levy is the former editor of Autoweek magazine and sits on the board of the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America.

Wide-Open Muscle The Rarest Muscle Car Convertibles

Randy Leffingwell. Photography by Tom Loeser Today’s rarest, priciest, and most highly sought-after muscle cars are also the least practical. These are the striking convertibles of the 1960s and 1970s that were optioned out for drag racing. Wide-Open Muscle showcases these rare cars and proves that sometimes it pays to throw practicality out the window in order to make something purely cool and fun to drive.

These topless muscle cars are rare because few people had the dedication (or money) to buy a vehicle so impractical. They’re valuable because they represent the absolute extreme of the entire muscle-car genre. WideOpen Muscle celebrates these cars in studio portraits using the light-painting process perfected by author Randy Leffingwell and photographer Tom Loeser. It is the ultimate portrayal of the ultimate muscle cars.

Randy Leffingwell has written almost 50 titles for Motorbooks and Voyageur Press, including Porsche 911 50 Years and The Art of the Corvette.

100 Things to Draw With a Circle Start With a Shape, Draw What You See

Sarah Walsh A simple shape can suggest many things. In this book, one or many circles appear on every page. They might be outlines or solids, scattered or overlapping, brightly coloured, or black and white. Look at them and what do you see? A solar system or a grapefruit? A game of checkers, a snowman, a drop of rain in a puddle, or a patch of dandelions?

Now pick up a pencil, pen, or paint brush and fill in the parts that aren’t already there. A circle is meaningless until you decide what it wants to be. The simplest of shapes brings you back to the basics and lets you create anything you can see in your imagination.

The Life and Times of Frederick Douglass The Illustrated Edition

Frederick Douglass The Life and Times of Frederick Douglass is the 1881 autobiography that profiles the famed abolitionists life in slavery and beyond. Douglass details the cruelty of slave holders, the fear that kept many slaves where they were, and the punishments received by any slave who dared to tell the truth about their treatment. Douglass succeeded in escaping to the North and finding his own freedom but kept details of his journey a secret to protect those who helped him and, hopefully, allow others to escape.

Augmented by sidebars written by soldiers, statesmen, and abolitionists from the antebellum period, as well as pieces by well-known historians and prominent African Americans, and some new pieces by current historians and writers, this richly illustrated edition sheds new light on Douglass’s famous text, which is a classic of the 19th century and slavery canon.

Frederick Douglass was an African American social reformer, orator, writer, and statesman.

After escaping from slavery, he became a leader of the abolitionist movement.

South The Illustrated Story of Shackleton’s Last Expedition 1914–1917

Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton Experience the epic survival adventure of Ernest Shackleton’s Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition, brought to life with photos from the journey as well as modern color photography of the fauna, seascapes, and landscapes!

In 1914, the polar explorer Ernest Shackleton announced an ambitious plan to lead the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition – the first trek across Antarctica from the Atlantic to the Pacific via the South Pole. Shackleton’s third expedition would prove frought with adventure – and peril.

South is the remarkable tale of that ill-fated expedition as told in Shackleton’s own words, and illustrated here with the photography of expedition photographer Frank Hurley, as well as modern color imagery of the fauna and stunning vistas the men encountered. Their story begins on the eve of World War I, when the ship Endurance departed from England with Shackleton and his team of six men. The plan was to travel 1,800 miles across the icy continent from the Atlantic side, while a second team aboard the ship Aurora, would reach the Pacific side from Tasmania and lay out supply depots for the advancing team.

As the Endurance approached the continent, however, it faced early ice, and the vessel became hopelessly locked in an ice floe, beginning a series of travails for the men of the Endurance, including ice-covered mountainous islands, harrowing days in a life raft surrounded by hurricane-force winds, braving untested overland routes into the vast unknown, and much more.

Today considered an adventure survival classic, South is the true story of a thrilling polar expedition. Never before has Shackleton’s lively prose been so extensively illustrated with such stunning images.

Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton was born in Ireland in 1874. He led three expeditions to the Antarctic and died of a heart attack in 1922 while setting out on his fourth.

Frank Hurley (1885-1962) was a native Australian who served as a photographer on several Antarctic expeditions with Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton. He was the official photographer on Shackleton’s Imperial TransAntarctic Expedition and was known for his pioneering use of the early Paget color photography process.

The American West in Color John C. Guntzelman The lure of the American West has always been a driving force in the American experience. Following the Civil War and Reconstruction, the country expanded westward, ready to grow – and grow it did.

The evocative landscapes of these unexplored lands were recorded by a number of excellent photographers: John C. H. Grabill; Edward S. Curtis; John K. Hillers; and Timothy O’Sullivan, the famed Civil War photographer.

Many of their striking images survive and continue to inspire us today.

The American West in Colour includes over 200 of the best black-and-white photographs from that time, fully colorized to bring this lost world back to life! It offers a new glimpse into a period of the American experience that has inspired countless books, motion pictures, and stories – a time that continues to resonate and inspire us to the present day.

John C. Guntzelman has been a professional cinematographer and director for forty years, with a strong interest in period photography’s ability to capture forever an actual moment of time. He is the author of The Civil War in Color (2012, Sterling Publishing).
