Synopsis

Race Car Tech explores the advanced engineering that defines high-performance racing automobiles. It reveals how the intense competition in motorsport drives innovations in aerodynamics, engine technology, and material science, which subsequently influence the broader automotive industry. A key insight is how pushing the limits of speed and efficiency on the track leads to advancements that enhance the performance, safety, and fuel efficiency of everyday cars. For example, the book details how Formula 1 innovations often trickle down into consumer vehicles.

 
The book begins by establishing the fundamental principles of race car design, then delves into three core areas: aerodynamics, engine technology, and material science. Through case studies, wind tunnel data, and performance metrics, the book demonstrates how airflow manipulation creates downforce, how high-speed engines optimize power, and how lightweight composites enhance safety. Readers gain a practical understanding of motorsport engineering and automotive technology without being overwhelmed by complex jargon. This unique approach offers motorsport enthusiasts, engineering students, and automotive professionals a clear, accessible view into the world of racing technology.

 
Race Car Tech emphasizes the practical applications of these innovations, showing how competitive racing contributes to safer, more efficient, and technologically advanced vehicles for everyone.

Rob Mason

The definitive history of Sunderland AFC.

Formed by a group of teachers nearly 150 years ago in 1879, Sunderland AFC have a long and storied history in English football. The club has won six top-flight titles, only five other teams have won more, and they have lifted the FA Cup twice - once in 1937 and once in 1973.

The Black Cats are renowned for having one of the largest and most loyal fan bases in the country, and records have regularly been broken for attendance figures at the Stadium of Light. After hitting a nadir with back-to-back demotions from the Premier League down to the third division in 2018, the club is now back on the ascendancy and plotting a return to the top-flight.

Drawing on interviews with key players, managers and staff members, esteemed club historian Rob Mason delves into Sunderland's 150-year history, charting the glorious highs and the ignominious lows to trace how the Black Cats have come to dominate football in the North-East.

Letters From Everest:...

George Mallory

‘An extraordinary treasure trove’ Andrew Marr
A unique collection of unpublished letters from the climbing legend George Mallory to his family, revealing his innermost thoughts about people, places and mountains.
On the 8th of June, 1924, George Mallory and Sandy Irvine were seen through a telescope on the upper slopes of Mount Everest. They were never seen alive again. In 1999, Mallory’s body was found below the ridge where he was last seen. In the 100 years since his disappearance, many words have been written about Mallory, but very little has ever been published of his own thoughts.
Letters from Everest is an eye opening set of personal letters from Mallory to his family, collected and published for the first time by his great-nephew. In the letters, Mallory is completely open about his life, his climbing and especially the three Everest Expeditions he was a part of – 1921, 1922 and the last in 1924. His writing is full of extraordinary insights – most of which have never been published in any form. They are a unique collection – an actual reflection, possibly the one and only, of the thoughts of a climbing legend who walked into history a century ago.
In this non-fiction biography, Mallory's letters reveal the raw and unfiltered thoughts of a man who dared to challenge nature. His experiences, his fears, his triumphs, all laid bare in this literary collection, make Letters from Everest a must-read for anyone fascinated by the world of mountaineering and exploration.

Mark Horrell

In April 2014 Mark Horrell went on a mountaineering expedition to Nepal, hoping to climb Lhotse, the fourth-highest mountain in the world, which shares a base camp and climbing route with Mount Everest. 
He dreamed of following in the footsteps of Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary, by climbing through the infamous ice maze of the Khumbu Icefall, and he yearned to sleep in the grand amphitheatre of Everest Base Camp, surrounded by towering peaks. 
He was also intrigued by the media publicity surrounding commercial expeditions to Everest. He wanted to discover for himself whether it had become the circus that everybody described. 
But when a devastating avalanche swept across the Khumbu Icefall, he got more than he bargained for. Suddenly he found himself witnessing the greatest natural disaster Everest had ever seen. 
And that was just the start. Everest Sherpas came out in protest, issuing a list of demands to the Government of Nepal. What happened next left his team confused, bewildered and fearing for their safety.
