  1994 was a watershed year for F1 in so many ways, the fatal accidents of Roland Ratzenberger and Ayrton Senna shook the sport to its core. What followed was mayhem. For the first time all the arguments are painstakingly examined in one book. Fresh insights, exclusive interviews, and a plethora of evidence is brought together in a story that is guaranteed to amaze and shock. This book is a thorough examination of a turbulent season, including… 
  ′ Rushed car changes 
  ′ Teams unhappy with how the crisis was managed 
  ′ A power struggle for control of the sport 
  ′ Vague rules being exploited 
  ′ Accusations of politically motivated penalties 
  ′ An alleged cover-up after a horrific pit-lane fire 
  ′ A controversial conclusion 
  It also saw Michael Schumacher and Benetton first emerge as championship contenders, upsetting the establishment. Many believed their sudden rise was down to cheating, whilst others felt they were scapegoated because of politics. For the first time all the arguments are painstakingly examined in one book. Fresh insights, exclusive interviews, and a plethora of evidence is brought together to give the clearest analysis yet into the above events. The book contains over 250 photos which help bring this story to life, many of which are rare and from those involved. 
  There are exclusive contributions from former F1 driver Mark Blundell, Benetton insiders: Willem Toet, Frank Dernie, Simon Morley (the “junior employee” blamed for the Hockenheim fire). Williams’ insiders Paul West and Richard Wise. You will be astonished at what is unearthed. 1994 was tragic, chaotic, political, technical and involved some very colourful characters at the heart of the action. It’s a story that will amaze. 
  ′ Did Senna hear illegal traction control on Schumacher’s Benetton at Aida? 
  ′ Concealed launch control was later found on Schumacher’s Benetton. Why? 
  ′ Was the Hockenheim fire caused by Benetton removing their fuel filter? 
  ′ Despite pleading guilty, why did Benetton receive no serious punishments after the fire? 
  ′ Schumacher was banned / disqualified from a quarter of 1994 races due to various infringements. Politics or cheating? 
  ′ Did a return to simpler cars contribute to the accidents? 
  The book seeks to answer these and many more questions. 
  “Enjoyed reading that [extract of the book]” 
  Frank Dernie, Benetton chief engineer in 1994 
    
  “The author has assembled more facts about the season than I’ve ever seen before and managed to get more interviews with stakeholders involved at the time than I thought would be possible.” 
  Willem Toet, Benetton’s Head of Aerodynamics in 1994 
    
  A print version of this book which is DOUBLE the length of this audio book can be found at https://www.performancepublishing.co.uk/1994-the-untold-story-of-a-tragic-and-controversial-f1-season.html This goes into more detail & includes more period quotes from those involved whilst containing over 270 mainly rare images which help explain the story in a way that the audio book could never do.

  A beloved chef takes on institutional food and sparks a revolution with this manifesto, memoir from the trenches, and blueprint for reclaiming control from corporations and brutal bottom lines.
  		 
  “With hard-won insights and deep commitment, Joshna Maharaj takes us on a mouthwatering tour of what our collective food future might be.” ― Raj Patel, author of Stuffed and Starved: The Hidden Battle for the World Food System
  		 
  Good food generally doesn’t arrive on a tray, but Chef Joshna Maharaj knows that institutional kitchens have the ability to produce good, nourishing food, because she’s been making it happen over the past 14 years. She’s served meals to people who’d otherwise go hungry, baked fresh scones for maternity ward mothers, and dished out wholesome, scratch-made soups to stressed-out undergrads. She’s determined to bring health, humanity, and hospitality back to institutional food while also building sustainability, supporting the local economy, and reinvigorating the work of frontline staff.
  		 
  Maharaj reconnects food with health, wellness, education, and rehabilitation in a way that serves people, not just budgets, and proves change is possible with honest, sustained commitment on all levels, from government right down to the person sorting the trash. The need is clear, the time is now, and this revolution is delicious.
