Download or read book The Maze Maker written by Michael Ayrton and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2015-11-04 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I address you across more than three thousand years, you who live at the conjunction of the Fish and the Water-carrier,” speaks Daedalus, an artisan, inventor, and designer born into an utterly alien family of heroes who value acts of war above all else, a world where his fellow Greeks seem driven only to destroy—an existence he feels compelled to escape. In this fictional autobiography of the father of Icarus, “Apollo’s creature,” a brilliant but flawed man, writer and sculptor Michael Ayrton harnesses the tales of the past to mold a myth for our times. We learn of Daedalus’s increasingly ambitious artifacts and inventions; his fascination with Minoan culture, commerce, and religion, and his efforts to adapt to them; how he comes to design the maze of the horned Minotaur; and how, when he decides that he must flee yet again, he builds two sets of wax wings—wings that will be instruments of his descent into the underworld, a place of both purgatory and rebirth. A compelling mix of history, fable, lore, and meditations on the enigma of art, The Maze Maker will ensnare classicists, artists, and all lovers of story in its convolutions of life and legend. “I never understood the pattern of my life,” writes Daedalus, “so that I have blundered through it in a maze.”

Download or read book Life At The Limit written by Sid Watkins and published by Pan Macmillan. This book was released on 2013-03-07 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's pretty rare to come across a motor racing book that tempts you to read the thing in one sitting but "Prof" Watkins has produced a gem ... [he] is a superb raconteur, not afraid to speak him mind yet peppering the gravity with occasionally side-splitting humour. No true motorsport fan should be without this book.' Autosport Grand Prix racing has undergone sweeping changes in the last thirty years. Many of these involve safety and medical rescue. The man behind them - a champion in the racing world although he has never won a race - is the eminent neurosurgeon Sid Watkins. Life at the Limit is his remarkable story. It spans the most exciting years in Grand Prix racing and includes intimate portraits of motorsport's greatest names, from Jackie Stewart and Niki Lauda to Alain Prost and Damon Hill. Sid Watkins has also witnessed, at first hand, some of the most severe and spectacular racing accidents. His account of these is made all the more poignant by the fact that some of the men he has rescued, sometimes at the point of death, have been personal friends. From Monza, in 1978, where Ronnie Petersen suffered a fatal accident, to Imola in May 1994 where Ayrton Senna met his untimely death, the high, and low, points of Grand Prix racing are vividly described. For all fans of Formula One, this is the inside story of the world's most dangerous sport.

He was a Grand Prix driver throughout the 1970s, during which time he spent six seasons with Ferrari, where he partnered such as Jacky Ickx, Mario Andretti and Niki Lauda. He also drove Le Mans and the Indy 500. In 1979 he gave the Williams team its maiden Grand Prix victory when he won the British GP at Silverstone. At Long Beach the next season, driving an Ensign, he crashed so badly that he spent the rest of his life in a wheelchair. From the wheelchair he helped develop hand-controlled cars which he could race and he taught others to drive and race too. He also became a champion of the disabled in general and an inspirational figure to them. He regained a competition license and, incredibly, took part in the Paris-Dakar rally as well as sports cars at places like Sebring. He also commentated on Swiss and Italian television.
