Synopsis

"Jet Ski Adventure" chronicles the remarkable transformation of personal watercraft from Clayton Jacobson II's groundbreaking invention in 1973 to today's sophisticated machines. This comprehensive exploration reveals how a simple idea to make water recreation more accessible revolutionized marine sports and coastal leisure activities worldwide. The book masterfully weaves together technical evolution, cultural impact, and future developments of jet skis, drawing from extensive industry archives and firsthand accounts.

 
The narrative unfolds in three distinct parts, beginning with the technical journey from basic aluminum prototypes to advanced electronic systems. Readers discover how innovations like electronic fuel injection and stability control systems made personal watercraft more user-friendly and reliable. The book then explores the broader cultural influence of jet skis, including their role in competitive sports and coastal tourism, before examining future challenges and opportunities in environmental sustainability and technological advancement.

 
What sets this book apart is its balanced approach to combining technical expertise with engaging storyteller. Through interviews with professional racers, design engineers, and rescue personnel, it offers unique insights into how jet skis have influenced everything from marine rescue operations to military applications. The inclusion of practical maintenance and safety protocols makes it an invaluable resource for both newcomers and experienced enthusiasts, while maintaining scholarly rigor through data-driven analysis and comprehensive research.

    The 1960s was the golden age of European motorsport, with two countries leading the saloon car field: Britain with the Mini and Italy with the Fiats 500 and 600. As their rivalry was further ignited by the creation of the Mini Cooper and Fiat Abarth, there was a fervent need for tuning and ‘go faster’ component companies – and here, one of Britain’s most iconic, Radbourne Racing, was born.
    In this captivating memoir, Lincoln Small – the last surviving co-founder of Radbourne Racing – shares the untold story of how a small company, fuelled by ingenuity, left an indelible mark on British motorsport history. Through a retelling rich with anecdotes of both rivalries and triumphs, Small brings to life the glamour, grit and camaraderie of those unforgettable halcyon days, offering a heartfelt tribute to the people, cars and innovations that shaped motorsport’s most exhilarating era.
    Featuring rare, personal photographs and comprehensive appendices, Abarth, Radbourne Racing and Me is both a nostalgic celebration and a vital record of a team and a time when every lap was a leap into the unknown. For petrol-heads and racing enthusiasts alike, this is a story of inspiration and legacy that will resonate long after the final page.

    Transformations in China explores the sweeping cultural, political, and economic changes that have reshaped China from ancient times to the modern era. This 3-in-1 volume covers pivotal periods in Chinese history, focusing on three major forces of transformation: Modernization and Reform, The Cultural Revolution, and The Silk Road. From the ancient trade routes that connected China to the rest of the world, to the turbulent policies of the 20th century, this book captures the resilience and complexity of a civilization in constant evolution. 
    The journey begins with the Silk Road, which served as the lifeblood of commerce and cultural exchange for centuries. More than a trade route, it was a corridor for sharing religions, inventions, languages, and ideas between East and West. The narrative then moves to the 20th century, examining The Cultural Revolution, a period of radical upheaval that profoundly altered Chinese society. Spearheaded by Mao Zedong, this political campaign reshaped education, tradition, and family life, leaving a lasting mark on Chinese identity. 
    Finally, the book explores Modernization and Reform, spotlighting China’s transition from a closed, agrarian state to a global economic superpower. Beginning with Deng Xiaoping’s reforms in the late 20th century, this section details the rapid industrialization, urbanization, and globalization that have defined modern China. Transformations in China presents a sweeping yet accessible account of how a nation has continuously redefined itself—often through conflict, always through change.

    Between the pull of the tides and the drift of the clock lies the rhythm of a traveler’s life. 
    In Tides and Timezones, acclaimed travel writer Reece Davis explores how constant movement changes not only where we are — but who we become. From sleepless nights beneath foreign skies to quiet dawns spent in transit, Davis reflects on how time stretches and bends across continents, and how memory anchors us when everything else is in motion. 
    Through poignant stories, vivid landscapes, and moments of stillness amid the rush, Davis examines what it means to carry fragments of the world within us — and how, over time, travel becomes less about escape and more about return. 
    Elegant, meditative, and profoundly human, Tides and Timezones is a love letter to the fleeting, timeless art of wandering.
