Want to lose weight? Listen to the next pop-culture fad diet or
exercise routine and you're bound to end up where most Americans
are; done with diets, bored with working out, and out of options.
But then David Beares, Primitive Health and Fitness Expert, and
owner of 39 Minute Workout, comes along and shatters all of our
assumptions. And he has the audacity to point out something
painfully obvious. We were healthy and lean for the bulk of human
history. And we DIDN'T get there counting calories and lifting 5lb
dumbbells. In this simple to follow book, David lays out his Three
Pillar solution to be the leanest, sexiest, and healthiest person
you have ever been. But HOW he tells you to get there may shock
you...
Panhard & Levassor was a ground-breaking company whose
innovations set the standard for modern motoring. Not only was it
the first company to produce a vehicle with an internal combustion
engine mounted at the head of the chassis rather than under the
driver's seat, the entire 'Panhard' layout of engine, gearbox,
shaft drive to rigid rear axle, set the standard which is still
used today. As the author reveals, Panhard & Levassor can also
claim to be the first manufacturer to sell cars commercially.
Author David Beare follows the fortunes of the company and its two
founders, the affable and portly Rene Panhard complementing the
intelligent and somewhat haughty Emile Levassor. From the late
1800s through the two world wars, they continued to produce
revolutionary designs, including sleeve valves, monocoque chassis
units and the new economy cars with air-cooled flat-twin engines
and bodies and chassis made largely of aluminium. As an important
contributor to the design and performance of their subsequent road
cars, Panhard & Levassor's pioneering competition successes in
early road-racing in the period from 1894 to 1903 are also covered,
when the company was at the forefront of motor-racing technology
and won many races. The story ends with the take-over of the
company by Citroen, which ultimately absorbed the Panhard &
Levassor creative genius into their own designs.
