Beauty of the Beasts
In an age of catastrophic biodiversity loss, the author of Aesop’s Animals explains why we should champion and protect nature’s underdogs. The living world evokes many emotions, especially when it comes to our relationships with animals. Some of our reactions are logical responses to potential harm, but many are irrational, and our loathing and persecution of some species far exceed the threat they pose to us. We no longer prosecute animals for their ‘crimes’ as we did in the Middle Ages, but our human exceptionalism and vilification of unwelcome animal behaviour continues. In Beauty of the Beasts, Jo Wimpenny challenges our perceptions of ‘good’ species and sets the record straight about those we label ‘pests’, ‘scavengers’ and ‘predators’. Using the latest research, Jo explains the natural behaviours we use to villainise animals while demonstrating how these species benefit humanity and are more sentient than we ever thought. From wasps that provide free pest control and snakes whose venom may cure cancer to the deep social bonds of crocodiles and vultures, this book will convince you to rethink our most misunderstood beasts. While it may be tempting to imagine a more pleasant world devoid of animals that scare and repulse us, Jo explains why losing them would devastate many ecosystems, encouraging all of us to appreciate these animals for what they are and the vital roles they fulfil for all life on Earth.
The Complete Book of Jaguar
Take an exhilarating ride through Jaguar production history, from the original SS to the I-PACE EV, with narratives, photos, and spec tables for each.In 1935, a pair of motorcycle enthusiasts in Coventry, England—William Lyons and William Walmsley—established a firm called the Swallow Sidecar Company. Soon, they pivoted to automobiles, launching a sporting saloon (i.e., sedan) called the Jaguar SS. The decision set in motion the company that would create Britain’s most beloved line of high-performance automobiles.The Complete Book of Jaguar, 2nd Edition tells the whole story with:A thorough profile for every production model, presented in chronological orderSpec tables highlighting key technical and performance specifications and their changes across each modelNarratives by distinguished motoring historian Nigel Thorley discussing the innovations and technology featured in each modelColor photography of new and restored examplesHistorical black-and-white imageryA new chapter covering Jaguar’s commitment to an alt-fuel future with extensive up-to-date coverage of the hybrid E-PACE and F-PACE SUVs and the I-PACE EVAs you turn the pages, follow Jaguar’s trajectory to becoming one of the world’s most celebrated automakers. In England’s bleak postwar years, the company was a shining star—first with its XK120, followed by the XK140 and XK150. Sporting sedans like the Mark 2 and Mark X set the bar for luxury four-door transport in the ’50s and ’60s. Then Jaguar stunned the world in 1961 with the achingly beautiful E-Type, a genuine 150 mph sports car. Though Jaguar lost its way periodically in the modern era, it has bounded back stronger than ever in the twenty-first century with a strong lineup that includes the new F-Type sports car. The Complete Book of Jaguar, 2nd Edition is the essential and most current guide to one of the truly iconic marques in the history of sports and luxury automobiles.Filled with photos and data-packed spec charts, Motorbooks’ Complete Book series presents automotive and motorcycle enthusiasts with authoritative histories celebrating their favorite vehicles.

Dragster Genesis
This is the story of drag racing's formative years, told through the feats of the people and cars involved. The simple format on a dragstrip was, and remains, two cars lining up in separate lanes to race over a straight course stretching a quarter of a mile, with the first to the other end declared the winner. The first drag racers, in 1949, were hot rodders in California whose early exploits led relentlessly to the development of the loudest and most powerful cars on earth, competing all over America and beyond. Little could those youthful tearaways have imagined that eventually cars with power outputs of 11,000 horsepower from V8 automobile engines would accelerate to over 300mph in under four seconds. Packed with authoritative information and high-quality illustration, this wonderful book explores the sport's evolution with insight and character, guaranteeing to captivate all motorsport fans. * All the star performers of drag racing - Don Garlits, Don Prudhomme, Shirley Muldowney and Chris Karamesines - feature in the book, along with unsung heroes. * From the innovative and influential to the offbeat and sometimes bizarre, dragsters in their bewildering variety are fully described and depicted in beautiful profile drawings. * Flamboyant drivers with legendary nicknames: Dale 'The Snail' Emery, Don 'Big Daddy' Garlits, Chris 'The Greek' Karamesines, 'Jungle Jim' Liberman, Tom 'The Mongoose' McEwen, 'Slam'n Sammy' Miller, Don 'The Snake' Prudhomme, 'Sneaky Pete' Robinson and many more. * Charismatic cars with renowned titles: 'Swamp Rat', 'The Blue Max', 'Freight Train', 'The World's Wildest Willys', 'Pure Hell', 'The Chizler' and 'The High & Mighty', to name just a few. * Women drivers are included in the roll of honour: the best competed on equal terms with men and convincingly won at the highest level, with Brittany Force currently holding the world record for top speed and elapsed time in Top Fuel.

Its A New Track Record!
Indianapolis track announcer Tom Carnegie used to whip the crowds into frenziedexcitement during qualification runs for the famous 500, especially when he intonedhis trademark exclamation “It’s… A… New Track Record!”. That occurred quite often during the period 1962–1972with its unprecedented explosion in speed. Parnelli Jones became the first manto break the 150-mph barrier with a lap at 150.370 mph in 1962, then just 10years later Bobby Unser’s 196.678 mph was not far short of the 200-mph mark. Thishappened because the “decade” brought extraordinary advances in car, engine andtire design, including takeover by the rear-engine configuration and theemergence of aerodynamic wings, wide slick tires and unrestricted turbochargedengines that ultimately produced over 1,000 horsepower. Foremost Indianapolis500 historian Rick Shaffer tells the entire story with authority and style inthis captivating book. Key content• Year-by-year coverage includes the technicaldevelopments behind rising speeds in a period that saw Formula One-inspiredrear-engine chassis depose Indy’s traditional front-engine roadsters. • Following his 150-mph qualifyinglandmark in 1962, when Rodger Ward won the race, Parnelli Jones claimed victoryin 1963 after holding off an unexpected challenge from rookie Jim Clark. • The 1964 Indy 500 saw A.J. Foyt—writerof this book’s foreword—achieve the last win for a front-engine roadster. • Scotland’s Jim Clark, the pole-sitter in1964, famously achieved the first rear-engine win in 1965 driving for Lotus,while A.J. Foyt’s 161.233 mph in qualifying made him the first pole-winner toexceed 160 mph. • Englishman Graham Hill won in 1966,followed by a third victory for A.J. Foyt in a career total of four. • The 170-mph mark was breached in 1968 whenJoe Leonard’s turbine-equipped Lotus lapped at 171.559 mph in qualifying, butthe win went to the Eagle of Bobby Unser, marking the first victory for theUnser dynasty. • Qualifying speeds dropped back a littlein the next two races, which brought wins for Mario Andretti (1969) and AlUnser (1970), who then won again in 1971. • While Mark Donohue won the 1972 Indy 500in a McLaren, qualifying brought the biggest-ever leap in speeds with BobbyUnser’s 195.940 mph in his Eagle exceeding the previous record by an incredible17 mph, resulting in the 180-mph and 190-mph barriers both being broken in thesame year.

The Intertidal Zone
Where the land meets the sea, life clings to the margins in a world of relentless change. The intertidal zone is a place of extremes-where creatures endure crashing waves, scorching sun, and the constant ebb and flow of the tides. It is a place of resilience and adaptation and home to some of the most extraordinary organisms on the planet. Blending marine biology, oceanography, and evolutionary science, marine biologist Ruth Searle takes us on a journey through the deep history of the intertidal zone - from its ancient origins as the possible cradle of life to the remarkable adaptations of the species that inhabit it today.
