Joey Dunlop's story is one of towering triumphs and desperate tragedies in almost equal measure. Born poor—dirt poor—with no running water, no electricity, he was the definition of the everyman hero, earning the title 'King of the Roads' in what must be considered one of the world's most extreme sports—motorcycle road racing. And as well as being voted Northern Ireland's greatest ever sportsman, he remains the most loved and most successful road racer of all time.

Wenn Europas Autobauer überleben wollen, müssen sie sich radikal umstrukturieren - sowohl mental als auch real. Ex-Audi-Vorstand Peter Mertens ist überzeugt: Zukunftsfähig sind nur die Unternehmen, die mehr Nachhaltigkeit wagen, die sich stark machen für mehr europäische Souveränität in der globalen Automotive Industrie und sich öffnen für Kooperationen innerhalb und außerhalb der Branche. Dabei ist ein Zusammenschluss von Wirtschaft, Politik und Wissenschaft ebenso nötig wie ein neues Verständnis dessen, was ein Auto überhaupt ist.

Unsere Mobilität ist im radikalen Umbruch. Elektromobilität zieht in unseren Alltag ein, wir teilen unsere Fahrzeuge und Fahrten, lassen uns auf der App die besten Fahrwege anzeigen, springen vom Scooter in die Bahn und ins Auto und testen die ersten autonom gefahrenen Meter.

Sie ist ein menschliches Grundbedürfnis, der Ausdruck unserer Bewegungsfreiheit in unserer demokratischen Gesellschaftsordnung.

After the Beeching cuts of the 1960s, many railways were 'rationalised' and gradually shut down. Rural communities were isolated without ready access to the main lines, and steam trains slowly gave way to diesel and electric traction. But some people were not prepared to let the romance of train travel die. Thanks to their efforts, many of these lines passed into community ownership and are now booming with new armies of dedicated volunteers. Andrew Martin goes out to meet these enthusiasts and find out just what it is about preserved railways which makes people so devoted.

Driving is a complex skill, teaching it arguably even more so. My aim with this book is to make both the driving and the teaching as enjoyable and simple as possible. This book's in two parts.

I like to think I know it well enough to - as Albert says - keep it simple.
