Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoir of a Mechanic: Being a Sketch of the Life of Timothy Claxton The sketch of the life of Mr. Timothy Claxton, which I have the pleasure of presenting to his friends and the public, has been for two or three years in the course of preparation, having been delayed from time to time, in the expectation of receiving additional materials from him. We have now received documents, the addition of which, we believe, will greatly enhance the value and interest of the book. His affairs in England being for the present established, it has been thought best to defer the publication of the work no longer.

This book was released on 2009-02-27 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Constant Outsider chronicles the radical choices made by the author as part of an intense struggle to fit in and be accepted within the challenging and often violent environments of Dorchester, South Boston and beyond.This memoir is a true and exciting account of what it was like for the son of an Italian immigrant to grow up, live, and work in the predominantly Irish sections of Boston, Massachusetts during some of the most volatile and violent decades in their histories. For those who were not exposed first hand to the extreme criminal activity and violence which was Southie during the Whitey Bulger years, the events the author experienced and the people he encountered should prove riveting. Having to co-exist with killers, drug dealers and other assorted criminals, as well as the many fine and honest people that were part of the community, sometimes caused the author to walk a fine line between participating in or rejecting the lawlessness that surrounded him.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mob wars, "Whitey" Bulger's reign of terror, "Forced Busing" and the OPEC oil embargo of the 1970s created a history-rich era in Boston. Tom had a front row seat to it all. He ran an auto repair garage and gas station in the heart of Southie during those decades. With both mobsters and cops as his friends, he became adept at navigating a tightrope between good and evil. He also made many reckless choices that resulted in close brushes with death. Tom shares all of those surreal memories with his readers while adding a bit of humor at times. Right on his doorstep while living across the street from South Boston High, he experienced fierce and violent protests related to court-ordered desegregation of the Boston schools via "Forced Busing". Add to the mix, Tom's mobster friends and interactions, the tension and violence he encountered at his shop, and the stress of running a gas station in Southie during the fuel shortages of the 70s, and you've got all the ingredients of a gripping narrative. Early in this amazing story of survival, the author made a decision to do whatever it took to fit in and be accepted within each of his challenging and dangerous environments. That strategy worked well for Tom, but it also placed him in too many scary and dangerous situations. He is one of the very few people who have had a gunpoint encounter with James Whitey Bulger and lived to tell about it. How did he do that? Surprisingly, Tom tells it as a rather humorous story with a mostly happy ending. This book is written from the perspective of someone who experienced history first-hand. Tom's life story is a vivid flashback to an exciting era in Boston's colorful past.

Book excerpt: SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER. As you'll discover in his incomparable memoir, inventor, mechanic, TV presenter and walking tall as the definition of the British eccentric, Edd China sees things differently. An unstoppable enthusiast from an early age, Edd had 35 ongoing car projects while he was at university, not counting the double-decker bus he was living in. Now he's a man with not only a runaround sofa, but also a road-legal office, shed, bed and bathroom. His first car was a more conventional 1303 Texas yellow Beetle, the start of an ongoing love affair with VW, even though it got him arrested for attempted armed robbery. A human volcano of ideas and the ingenuity to make them happen, Edd is exhilarating company. Join him on his wild, wheeled adventures; see inside his engineering heroics; go behind the scenes on Wheeler Dealers. Climb aboard his giant motorised shopping trolley, and let him take you into his parallel universe of possibility.

Book excerpt: The history of automobiles is not just the story of invention, manufacturing, and marketing; it is also a story of repair. Auto Mechanics opens the repair shop to historical study—for the first time—by tracing the emergence of a dirty, difficult, and important profession. Kevin L. Borg's study spans a century of automotive technology—from the horseless carriage of the late nineteenth century to the "check engine" light of the late twentieth. Drawing from a diverse body of source material, Borg explores how the mechanic’s occupation formed and evolved within the context of broad American fault lines of class, race, and gender and how vocational education entwined these tensions around the mechanic’s unique expertise. He further shows how aspects of the consumer rights and environmental movements, as well as the design of automotive electronics, reflected and challenged the social identity and expertise of the mechanic. In the history of the American auto mechanic, Borg finds the origins of a persistent anxiety that even today accompanies the prospect of taking one's car in for repair.
