Jacky Ickx is one of the true greats of motor racing. In a career
spanning nearly 40 years, he was both highly successful and hugely
versatile, racing at the highest level in a wide variety of
categories - including Formula 1, sports cars, touring cars and
rally raids - and winning throughout. Among many accolades, he won
the Le Mans 24 Hours an unprecedented six times and twice finished
runner-up in the Formula 1 World Championship. This exhaustively
researched book has been written with his full co-operation and
outlines every one of the 565 races that he contested in cars and
on motorcycles, forming a detailed and insightful record of his
racing life supported by over 850 photographs, many of which have
never been published before. This is a racing driver's biography of
exceptional depth that all motorsport enthusiasts will treasure.
Key content * Starting in motorcycle trials, Ickx was twice crowned
Belgian champion before switching to four wheels; he immediately
proved himself a winner in touring cars and single-seaters,
becoming European Formula 2 Champion in 1967. * From 1967, he
established himself as a star in sports cars, driving
blue-and-orange Gulf Mirages and Ford GT40s to numerous successes,
culminating in his first Le Mans victory in 1969 with its famously
close finish. * Snapped up by Ferrari for 1968, he achieved a
heroic first Formula 1 victory in that year's rain-soaked French
Grand Prix, confirming his career-long reputation for peerless
driving in wet weather. * Other than one season with Brabham, Ickx
spent his best Formula 1 years with Ferrari, achieving eight wins
in the period 1968-72, and twice finishing second in the World
Championship standings, with Brabham (1969) and Ferrari (1970). *
Post-Ferrari, his Formula 1 fortunes waned but he thrived in sports
cars, claiming three successive Le Mans victories, with Mirage in
1975, then with Porsche. * After his fifth Le Mans win in 1981, the
rebirth of sports car racing in the Group C era from 1982 saw Ickx
as anchorman in the all-conquering works Porsche team, a four-year
period that brought his record sixth Le Mans victory, 12 wins in
total, and two World Champion titles. * After retirement from
circuit racing, his later career took him into entirely different
motorsport adventures in rally raids, where his Paris-Dakar record
includes victory in 1983 (driving a Mercedes-Benz) and second
places in 1986 (Porsche) and 1989 (Peugeot).
Derek Bell has become one of motor racing's 'national treasures'.

car drivers, winning Le Mans five times and the Daytona 24 Hours
three times, as well as numerous other significant sports car
races. This completely new and updated edition of his autobiography

popular racing drivers. Derek Bell is one of the survivors from
1960's motorsport, who made a real name for himself in Endurance
Racing for over a twenty years driving primarily for Porsche but
also other top teams from the late 1960's through to the 1990's. A
multiple winner at Le Mans and Daytona this book takes you through
the details of his life racing around the world from his early
years leading up to F1 and then in to Endurance Racing and other
branches of the sport. It shows the vast difference in Motorsport
in his early career and how motorsport has progressed through the
years.
In this era of evidence-based medicine, one of the biggest
challenges confronting acute medicine clinicians is keeping abreast
with the rapidly changing recommendations that guide clinical
practice. Oxford Desk Reference: Acute Medicine allows easy access
to evidence-based materials on commonly encountered acute medical
problems to ensure the optimum management of the acutely unwell
patient. Collating all the research-based guidelines and protocols
in one easily accessible place and presenting it in a uniform
style, this practical book is hugely advantageous for a busy
clinician as it is not always easy to access research-based
guidelines and protocols when needed in the clinic. The book is
designed so that each subject forms a self-contained topic in its
own right. This makes the information simple to find, read, and
absorb, so that the book can be consulted in the clinic or ward
setting for information on the optimum management of a particular
condition. Edited by three experts in acute medicine, this book
should never be far from the acute medicine clinician's side.
