Book Synopsis Racing Toward 2001 by : Russell Chandler
Download or read book Racing Toward 2001 written by Russell Chandler and published by Zondervan Publishing Company. This book was released on 1992 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Earth-shaking trends of the 21st century are shaping America's religious future. But spiritual forces can also bend the trends. Every rip of the calendar brings us closer to 2001. Powerful forces that will affect virtually every aspect of your life are already in motion. Yet most Americans are unaware that they can deflect and direct these massive changes. Award-winning journalist Russell Chandler looks at the power of religion and tells the ordinary person how to get ready for the coming millennium. Now. In fast-moving style, the author assesses perils ahead in technology, education, media, and the arts; future challenges in medicine and genetics; forecasts for politics and the economy; upcoming upheavals in families, life-styles, and employment; and the surprising shift to non-traditional religions. Spirituality is one of life's most powerful and pervasive forces. It can even change future events and attitudes. Racing Toward 2001 goes beyond books written by the poll-taker, the market researcher, and the popular generalist who only analyze future trends. Chandler focuses on the practical hope found in cutting-edge models for ministry in the 21st Century: suburban "baby-boomer" churches, charismatic megachurches, mainline social-action churches, inner-city black congregations, ethnic Roman Catholic parishes, and small rural fellowships. These, plus other innovative groups, frame a promising window facing the approaching millennium. Racing Toward 2001 draws broadly from some of the best information, resources, and authorities. Chandler personally interviewed more than 75 experts. In Racing Toward 2001 you will discover the big-league players and who will own the "stadium"; moneypatterns and how churches will touch your wallet; why government, business, churches will collaborate; health care ahead for your kids and aging parents; techniques to better evaluate TV; and what schooling is best for your child. This is a benchmark book. It will help you cope with coming global changes and tell you how to harness the forces shaping the Next Age.

Book Synopsis Racing Stewart by : Maurice Hamilton
Download or read book Racing Stewart written by Maurice Hamilton and published by Motorbooks. This book was released on 1998 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The birth of a Grand Prix team does not occur every day -- or every season for that matter, Formula 1 is an extremely difficult business to break into, and very few new arrivals survive beyond their first year. That's why the racing world took note in 1997 when a new team bearing the name of race legend Jackie Stewart gained a foothold in the sport. The team has, in fact, been in the news since 1996, when Stewart and his son, Paul, first announced their intentions. Racing Stewart tells the story of this remarkable adventure, charting in full for the first time ever, the birth of a Grand Prix challenger. Hamilton and Nicholson were granted unparalleled access to the team from Stewart's initial decision, giving them a behind-the-scenes look at the peaks and valleys that are an inevitable part of gaining acceptance in this ruthless sport.

Book Synopsis The Great Air Race: Glory, Tragedy, and the Dawn of American Aviation by : John Lancaster
Download or read book The Great Air Race: Glory, Tragedy, and the Dawn of American Aviation written by John Lancaster and published by Liveright Publishing. This book was released on 2022-11-15 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The untold, almost unbelievable, story of the daring pilots who risked their lives in an unprecedented air race in 1919—and put American aviation on the map. Years before Charles Lindbergh’s flight from New York to Paris electrified the nation, a group of daredevil pilots, most of them veterans of the World War I, brought aviation to the masses by competing in the sensational transcontinental air race of 1919. The contest awakened Americans to the practical possibilities of flight, yet despite its significance, it has until now been all but forgotten. In The Great Air Race, journalist and amateur pilot John Lancaster finally reclaims this landmark event and the unheralded aviators who competed to be the fastest man in America. His thrilling chronicle opens with the race’s impresario, Brigadier General Billy Mitchell, who believed the nation’s future was in the skies. Mitchell’s contest—critics called it a stunt—was a risky undertaking, given that the DH-4s and Fokkers the contestants flew were almost comically ill-suited for long-distance travel: engines caught fire in flight; crude flight instruments were of little help in clouds and fog; and the brakeless planes were prone to nosing over on landing. Yet the aviators possessed an almost inhuman disregard for their own safety, braving blizzards and mechanical failure as they landed in remote cornfields or at the edges of cliffs. Among the most talented were Belvin “The Flying Parson” Maynard, whose dog, Trixie, shared the rear cockpit with his mechanic, and John Donaldson, a war hero who twice escaped German imprisonment. Jockeying reporters made much of their rivalries, and the crowds along the race’s route exploded, with everyday Americans eager to catch their first glimpse of airplanes and the mythic “birdmen” who flew them. The race was a test of endurance that many pilots didn’t finish: some dropped out from sheer exhaustion, while others, betrayed by their engines or their instincts, perished. For all its tragedy, Lancaster argues, the race galvanized the nation to embrace the technology of flight. A thrilling tale of men and their machines, The Great Air Race offers a new origin point for commercial aviation in the United States, even as it greatly expands our pantheon of aviation heroes.

Book Synopsis The Race to the North by : David Wragg
Download or read book The Race to the North written by David Wragg and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2013-01-21 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late nineteenth century, some of Britains leading main-line railway companies threw caution to the winds in an attempt to provide the fastest passenger express services between London and Scotland. These became known as the races to the north. There were two phases, in 1888 and 1895, and they spurred the building of new bridges across the Firth of Forth and Firth of Tay.David Wraggs gripping, detailed narrative tells the story of this epic engineering and commercial competition. He concentrates on the determination of the railway companies to see who could provide the fastest schedule between London and the main Scottish cities of Edinburgh, Glasgow, Perth, Dundee and Aberdeen.Casting aside their early policy of co-existence on these prestigious and lucrative routes, the West Coast and East Coast companies were drawn into a period of intense, highly publicized rivalry as they sought to dominate the market. David Wragg gives an insight into the conduct of the well-publicized highs and tragic lows of this dramatic story the extension of the lines to the far north, the building of the Tay and Forth bridges including the collapse of the first Tay bridge with 72 fatalities and the repeated bids by the companies to cut the journey times.While he describes the public side of this fascinating story, David Wragg fills in the background, which is no less interesting the pioneering engineering of the steam age, the massive construction projects, the cut-throat battle for passengers and freight and the deep inter-company rivalries that drove the rapid development of the railways during the Victorian period.

Book excerpt: The murder case of chef Cynthia Albrecht that shocked the Indy 500 racing world—as seen on Investigation Discovery’s True Conviction. Cynthia Albrecht, the executive chef of the Penske-Marlboro racing team and darling of the IndyCar circuit, went missing on October 25, 1992—the night before her divorce from Michael Albrecht became final. Drivers and racing crews from across the country converged on “The Brickyard,” site of the Indianapolis 500, to help search for her. As the head mechanic for the Dick Simon racing team, known as “Crabby” across the race circuit, Michael had a reputation for bullying and abuse. He’d immediately become a suspect in Cynthia’s disappearance. But with a strong alibi, there was nothing authorities could do when he decided to take a vacation to Florida and skip a scheduled polygraph test and the search for his estranged wife. Nor could law enforcement charge him when Cynthia’s body was found a few weeks later in northern Indiana—minus her head. The case went cold for six years until a newly elected prosecutor allowed his deputies to charge Michael Albrecht with murder. But would they be able to prove his guilt? This riveting legal thriller is a finalist in the True Crime category of the Best Book Awards sponsored by American Book Fest. Written by one of the prosecutors, Larry Sells, and journalist Margie Porter, it runs at full throttle and will leave you on the edge of your seat right up to the checkered flag at the final verdict.

Book Synopsis Sixty Years of Jump Racing by : Robin Oakley
Download or read book Sixty Years of Jump Racing written by Robin Oakley and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-03-09 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robin Oakley brings alive the colourful world of those who ride and train jumping horses. With elegant production and gripping images, Sixty Years of Jump Racing chronicles the social and economic changes which have brought the sport's ups and downs-like the development of sponsorships and syndicate ownership, the near loss of the Grand National, the growing domination of the Cheltenham Festival and the growth of all-weather racing to meet the bookies' demands for betting shop fodder. Pace and colour is provided by stories of the horses who have been taken to the heart of racing crowds, like the Irish-trained hurdler Istabraq and Best Mate, the three-times winner of the Cheltenham Gold Cup for England. Famous rivalries and memorable races are re-lived and key victories revisited in portraits of and interviews with the owners, jockeys and trainers who have dominated the sport. The emphasis will be largely on the past fifty years-from Arkle to Tony McCoy-but a significant introduction by Edward Gillespie encapsulates the past history of what was previously known as 'National Hunt Racing' and sets the stories in context.

Book excerpt: Dazzling in its structure and shattering in its emotional force, Graham Swift's Ever After spans two centuries and settings from the adulterous bedrooms of postwar Paris to the contemporary entanglements in the groves of academe. It is the story of Bill Unwin, a man haunted by the death of his beautify wife and a survivor himself of a recent brush with mortality. And although it touches on Darwin and dinosaurs, bees and bridge builders, the true subject of Ever After is nothing less than the eternal question, "Why should things matter?"
