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.

Your Best Shot
USA Today BestsellerWhy have you struggled with your weight, even when you did "everything right"? The answer isn't willpower or diet, and it's not you. Your Best Shot provides the tools to optimize your weight-health hormones permanently, whether you have never used a GLP-1 medication, are currently using one, or are ready to come off one. Here's the insight that's reshaping medicine: GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound work because the body regulates appetite, metabolism, blood sugar, and fat storage through a sophisticated hormonal system. If a medication helped you lose weight or curb cravings, it means your own weight-health hormones weren't functioning at their best. That's not a personal failure. That's biology, and it's fixable—with or without the shot. Registered dietitian and weight health pioneer Ashley Koff, RD has spent over two decades in clinical practice developing a system that finally addresses why weight loss doesn't often work long-term, and what actually does. The result is an evidence-based, personalized program that meets you exactly where you are. This is not another weight loss plan. This is your plan. With Your Best Shot, you will: Identify why your weight-health hormone function isn’t optimal—and how to fix itPersonalize the nutrition and lifestyle plan with food, supplement, activity, and sleep guidelinesEliminate food noise and decision fatigue by finding out what information to ignore and what to trustNavigate the landscape of GLP-1 medications, supplements, and foodsBuild a sustainable reset, because life happens, so your plan needs to adjust with it Your Best Shot is essential for the millions of people using GLP-1s who want to maximize their results, protect their progress, and build a foundation that lasts long after the medication. It is also the definitive guide for anyone considering coming off GLP-1 therapy who needs a plan that works without it. If you've struggled with weight, cravings, energy, or body composition, this book was written for you.
Just Watch Me
Fleabag meets Big Swiss in this visceral, darkly hilarious, and surprisingly moving debut novel about a charismatic misfit who livestreams herself for seven straight days to raise money for her comatose sister's life support Dell Danvers is barely keeping it together. She’s behind on rent for her bathroom-less studio apartment (formerly a walk-in closet), she’s being plagued by perpetual, spiking stomach pain, and her younger sister, Daisy, is in a coma at a hospital that wants to pull the plug. Freshly unemployed and subsisting on selling plant propagations to trust fund kids, Dell impulsively starts a 24-hour livestream under the username mademoiselle_dell to fundraise $14,000 for a week of private life support for Daisy. In the dungeon of her stream, Dell is in control, banishing those who don’t abide by her terms of engagement and steadily rising up the platform’s ranks with her sympathetic story and angry-funny screen presence. On a dare, she discovers that she has a talent for eating spicy food, and her streaming fame explodes as her pepper consumption graduates from jalapeño to habanero to ghost. Finally, Dell is good at something—but as her behavior becomes riskier and riskier and a troll-turned-incel threatens to expose her dark past, Dell must reckon with what her digital life ignores, and what real redemption means. Narrated in seven taut chapters, one for each day of Dell’s livestream, Just Watch Me careens us through a nonstop week in the life of this charismatic misfit with a heart of gold. Voyeuristic and visceral, audacious and outrageous, Lior Torenberg’s debut is both an incisive, zippy tragicomedy about the internet economy as well as a moving meditation on love, loss, and forgiveness.

Slumlord
Peter Rachman dominated housing in post-war London - he owned vast swathes in the west of the city, accumulating huge wealth as his tenants lived in squalor and fear of his hard-nosed collectors and enforcers. He was also at the heart of the city's murky, post-war underworld. In Slumlord, Neil Root pulls back the curtain on this seedy world to paint a portrait of a fascinating man whose path intersected with figures as diverse as Christine Keeler, the glamorous society girl at the heart of the Profumo Scandal, and Michael X, the Black Power activist who later went on to be hanged for double murder. Ruthless in his ambition, Rachman was the archetype of the exploitative landlord, and a man who was willing to use the prejudices of his time in order to maximise profits. He is also a compelling leading man in a story of post-war London, a city where, among the grime and the rubble, fortunes could be made. You just had to hold your nose, abandon your morals and be willing to take from those less fortunate.

As If
'A brilliant, strange and tender exploration of what it is to fail, keep failing, and fail better' Sarah Bernstein, author of Study for Obedience Two men meet in a flat in London. They are total strangers and yet they look remarkably alike. Lewis is grieving his dead wife; Korine is hiding from his very-much-alive one. Lewis never had children; Korine is an ambivalent parent at best. Lewis is an erstwhile actor, too depressed to attend the big audition that has just fallen into his lap. Korine has tried a dozen dead-end jobs but never pursued his acting dreams. Two men living mirror image lives. Each seeking a second chance to get things right. Each wanting what the other has. As If is an existential farce about the road not taken. Surreal and slyly poignant, suffused with ironic melancholia, it is a parable for the twenty-first century everyman: a character trapped in reality’s hall of mirrors, endlessly searching for something to live for.
