W. Heath Robinson is best known for his hilarious drawings of zany
contraptions, though his work ranged across a wide variety of
topics covering many aspects of British life in the decades
following the First World War. Starting out as a watercolour
artist, he quickly turned to the more lucrative field of book
illustration and developed his forte in satirical drawings and
cartoons. He was regularly commissioned by the editors of Tatler
and The Sketch and in great demand from advertising companies.
Collections of his drawings were subsequently published in many
different editions and became so successful as to transform Heath
Robinson into a household name, celebrated for his eccentric brand
of British humour. Presenting such innovations as the 'Zip-Opening
Bonnet', the 'Duo-car for the Incompatible' and the handy 'New Rear
Wheel Gear for Turning the Car in One Movement', this volume of
Heath Robinson illustrations with commentary by K.R.G. Browne will
appeal to 'everybody who is ever likely to drive, be driven in, or
get run over by a mechanically propelled vehicle'.

The bus service we now have in London results from the momentous
events described in this book. Many people consider these events to
have been a necessary series of steps to get to where we are today.
London Transport changed from a monolithic state owned bus operator
to a tendering authority with competing operators owning buses and
employing front-line staff to run a public service. It is a very
political story. The early stages were at a time when a radical
Conservative government was determined to bring great change.
Privatisation became one of their key policies, and what happened
in London has been unique, as deregulation of buses in the rest of
the country has brought a very different set of experiences.
There is a certain atmosphere about night photography. It is much
easier now, of course, since the advent of digital cameras that
record events that would not have been so easily covered with film.
Dragging a tripod around, or looking for a suitable flat topped
wall in the right place, was necessary with time exposures, and
even then it was often guesswork. Many of the trips after dark with
my camera, produced as many failures as successes, but overall, the
process was very rewarding. This book contains around 120 black and
white and colour views from the early twentieth century up to the
present day.
Today, one cannot escape the fact that the words Porsche and racing
go hand in hand. This book follows Porsche's year-by-year progress
in top flight racing and rallying, and looks in detail at the pure
competition cars that brought the German marque such immense
success on the tracks and worldwide acclaim. This particular volume
starts with story of the pure racers of 1976 vintage, and takes the
reader through a series of racing models, including the glorious
956 and 962, up to 2005 via contemporary photography and words from
an acknowledged Porsche authority. An earlier volume covers the
years up to 1975 inclusive. The book includes detailed year by year
coverage of Porsche's top class racing and rallying exploits in
words and over 600 excellent photos. This book is a must-have for
all fans of the Porsche marque and motor sport.
