There are other manuals on how to build cabins, but W. Ben Hunt's
is the only one that shows you how to build and furnish an
authentic pioneer cabin the easy way, natural, using only hand
tools and the woods around you. Our ancestors used logs and hand
tools to build durable, dry, windproof, and protective dwellings;
and they fashioned chairs, beds, and tables out of half logs, twigs
branches, and bushes. In this day of power saws, lumberyards, and
high prices, it's good to know that you can build in the same way.
From established sports journalist Ben Hunt, the very first
biography of the up-and-coming British driver Lando Norris,
published on the brink of the British Grand Prix. As the youngest
ever British Formula 1 driver, Lando Norris is trailblazing his way
through the world of motor racing. After signing as a junior driver
for McLaren in 2017, he has since asserted himself as the team's
brightest talent and an aspiring world champion. Born to British
and Belgian parents and raised in the idylls of south-west England,
Lando's childhood reflects how even the calmest of upbringings can
create an adrenaline junkie. As one of a new cohort of young
drivers seeking to assert their dominance in the sport, Lando is a
uniquely modern sportsman, who celebrates learning and personal
development, but who nonetheless has the killer instinct required
to take him to the very pinnacle of F1. In Lando Norris, motor
sport aficionado and journalist Ben Hunt draws on his extensive
driver and paddock access to seek to understand what makes Lando
tick and examines how this young British driver has been well and
truly raised in the mould of a champion.
