Book Shop Class as Soulcraft

Download or read book Shop Class as Soulcraft written by Matthew B. Crawford and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2009-05-28 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A philosopher/mechanic's wise (and sometimes funny) look at the challenges and pleasures of working with one's hands “This is a deep exploration of craftsmanship by someone with real, hands-on knowledge. The book is also quirky, surprising, and sometimes quite moving.” —Richard Sennett, author of The Craftsman Called “the sleeper hit of the publishing season” by The Boston Globe, Shop Class as Soulcraft became an instant bestseller, attracting readers with its radical (and timely) reappraisal of the merits of skilled manual labor. On both economic and psychological grounds, author Matthew B. Crawford questions the educational imperative of turning everyone into a “knowledge worker,” based on a misguided separation of thinking from doing. Using his own experience as an electrician and mechanic, Crawford presents a wonderfully articulated call for self-reliance and a moving reflection on how we can live concretely in an ever more abstract world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Being a gearhead matters. Much as we love reading about the latest hypercar or money-no-object custom project, we believe vehicles owned - and loved - by gearheads like us are just as meaningful, if not moreso. Our readers are self-made. We buy vehicles for specific reasons and we learn how to maintain, modify, and repair them ourselves. (With a little help from our friends, of course!) Everyone you meet in an issue of Gearbox Magazine is cool. If you spotted them in a parking lot, you could walk right up to them and strike up a conversation. And chances are you might end up lifelong friends. We're not looking to get rich and forget our roots. We're trying to make a few bucks so we can spend more time helping gearheads build high performance machines & lives. This issue isn't perfect, but neither are our daily drivers. We hope you'll grab a copy and tell a couple friends about us. Thanks for checking us out. GBXM-united. Better living through busted knuckles.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Book 1970 Maximum Muscle

Download or read book 1970 Maximum Muscle written by Mark Fletcher and published by Motorbooks. This book was released on 2021-03-16 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1970, the American muscle car was as fast and outrageous as it would ever get. But the end was nigh, and 1970 Maximum Muscle dives head-first into the storm before the calm. Wherever you mark the beginning of the muscle car era—Oldsmobile’s 1949 Rocket 88, Chrysler’s 1951 FirePower engines, the 1964 Pontiac GTO—one thing is certain: in 1970, the era that had witnessed a parade of gloriously powerful, stylish, and brawny cars apt to make the hearts of even the most dispassionate squares go pitter-patter was sucking fumes. Gasoline shortages, skyrocketing fuel prices, insurance-industry bean counters, rising ecological concerns, and new, more fuel-efficient imports all conspired to consign the American muscle car to an ugly and unseemly denouement. Yet 1970 saw the actual zenith of the cars themselves, the year manufacturers pulled out all the stops and produced the most powerful and stunning machines the automotive world had ever seen. 1970 Maximum Muscle not only explores the factors that led to the decline of the most exciting era in the American automotive industry, it details some of the new models and model options that arguably made 1970 the climax of the muscle car era from engineering, styling, and cultural standpoints. As the war among GM, Ford, Chrysler, and AMC played out at dealerships, dragstrips, and drive-ins, ready-and-willing gearheads drove off dealer lots in potent behemoths like the Buick GSX, Oldsmobile 4-4-2, and Ford Torino Cobra. Muscle car stalwarts like the SS Chevelle, Pontiac GTO, and Plymouth ’Cuda became available with optional LS-6, Stage 1, and Hemi engines, respectively. Manufacturers ratcheted up the advertising hyperbole at the same time, offering performance packages with names like “Six-Pack,” “Ram Air,” and “Cobra Jet,” while spoilers, scoops, hood tachometers, and decal packages were de rigueur. Meanwhile, on the popular SCCA Trans Am circuit, top drivers campaigned more nimble muscle off-the-rack cars like the Camaro Z/28 and Boss 302 Mustang. 1970 Maximum Muscle is an entertaining and rollicking look at the muscle car's peak year!

NETGALLEY ★★★★★ "Captivating from the start. What an adventurous, suspenseful and intense story, laced with sardonic wit and intriguing characters. A great read!" KELLY WADE, WinLight News "I loved the mixture of racing and the roller coaster mystery while intertwined with the travel," RON CAPPS - NHRA Funny Car Driver, 2016 World Champion.

JUDY STROPUS, 2021 Inductee of Motorsports Hall of Fame - America "Deadly Driver made me a fan of Formula 1." Alex Robertson, Audible Narrator
