American Muscle Cars - Darwin Holmstrom - Bog - Quarto Publishing Group USA Inc - Plusbog.dk

This is the muscle car history to own—a richly illustrated chronicle of America's greatest high-performance cars, told from their 1960s beginning through the present day! In the 1960s, three incendiary ingredients—developing V-8 engine technology , a culture consumed by the need for speed , and 75 million baby boomers entering the auto market—exploded in the form of the factory muscle car. The resulting vehicles, brutal machines unlike any the world had seen before or will ever see again, defined the sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll generation . American Muscle Cars chronicles this tumultuous period of American history through the primary tool Americans use to define themselves: their automobiles. From the street-racing hot rod culture that emerged following World War II through the new breed of muscle cars still emerging from Detroit today, this book brings to life the history of the American muscle car. When Pontiac's chief engineer, John Z. DeLorean , and his team installed a big-inch engine into the division's intermediate chassis, they immediately invented the classic muscle car. In those 20 minutes it took Bill Collins and Russ Gee to bolt a 389 ci V-8 engine into a Tempest chassis they created the prototype for Pontiac's GTO —and changed the course of automotive history. From that moment on, American performance cars would never be the same. Featured cars represent all American automakers of the time— Chrysler , Ford , General Motors , and AMC —as well as landmark models like the Challenger , Charger , Road Runner , Super Bee , Super Bird , 'Cuda , Camaro , Chevelle SS , 442 , Boss Mustang , GTX , Javelin , AMX , and much more. American Muscle Cars tells the story of the most desirable cars ever to come out of Detroit. It's a story of flat-out insanity told at full throttle and illustrated with beautiful photography.

The Electric Vehicle Revolution - Kevin A. Wilson - Bog - Quarto Publishing Group USA Inc - Plusbog.dk

Explore the fascinating, evolving world of electric vehicles, from the first EVs in the Victorian era to their rapid expansion today—and beyond. In The Electric Vehicle Revolution , automotive journalist Kevin Wilson provides a thorough, engaging overview of where EV technology is today, how it got there, and where it’s going. Since the turn of the twenty-first century, EVs have gone from wonky who-cares vehicles like GM’s EV1 and early Teslas to every manufacturer's must-have future. Electric propulsion preceded fossil-fuel cars by decades and even vied for prominence in the early twentieth century auto industry against both steam power and internal combustion engines. From Electrobat (an early New York taxi fleet) through Columbia—which had built 1,000 electric cars before either Henry Ford or Ransom Olds had built a single gasoline car—viable business start-ups in the early auto age were as competitive and innovative as those in early twenty-first century Silicon Valley. But it was not to be for electric cars in the early days of the 1900s, as the auto industry evolved to favor gasoline cars, thanks in part to the influence of the oil industry and the build-out of infrastructure to supply fuel across the country. Gas-powered cars may have won the day, but post-WWII experiments with electric cars continued both within the established auto industry and from outside firms and visionaries, including cars developed by General Electric, Sears, and the Henney Kilowatt, alongside Ford and GM experimentals. Rapidly evolving electronic technology beginning in the 1960s , along with growing concerns about emissions and pollution , set the stage for renewed interest in electric cars. Improved batteries for cellphones/laptops, electronic controls, computing, and beyond provided the impetus for a wave of more sophisticated and feasible electric vehicles, including GM’s EV1 and the first Teslas. Elon Musk’s Tesla Motors proves the auto industry disruptor and sets the stage for responses by the mainstream auto industry, including Nissan’s Leaf, Chevrolet’s Bolt, and a host of high-end EVs from company’s like Audi, Jaguar, and the like. Rival start-ups step in as well and government incentives, subsidies, and regulatory demands all drive unprecedented development . Today, the rush to electrify has nations and companies competing to see who can declare the earliest end to internal combustion engines, but this radical transition won’t be as easy as throwing a switch. The Electric Vehicle Revolution thoroughly explores the challenges of infrastructure, battery and vehicle tech, and the cost to consumers, as well as the long phase-in as EVs are set to replace existing gas cars over decades. Whether you embrace EVs or have gasoline in your veins, The Electric Vehicle Revolution provides a fascinating, engaging, and stunningly illustrated overview of where the car world is today and where it’s headed for the future.

The Beatles - Richard Havers - Bog - Quarto Publishing Group USA Inc - Plusbog.dk

Celebrate The Beatles with rare photographs and a never-before-seen collection of removable, collectible memorabilia. At one time the most famous pop band in the world, The Beatles still hold center stage. Anyone who lived through the 1960s remembers them, and the digital remastering of their output has ensured that younger generations know them too. How could they not? The songs will live forever and are regularly used in film or TV scores, on advertisements, and on radio channels everywhere.With such coverage and interest, how can there be anything new to say about the band? The Beatles manages to do so thanks to the remarkable collection of photographs housed in Mirrorpix, the library of the Daily Mirror , Britain’s premier popular daily. With so much interest in the band, photographers were always looking to cover not just the major events that all the media attended, but smaller, more intimate moments. And then, of course, there were the paparazzi: The Beatles were perfect targets for this new breed of photographer who didn’t ask for permission to take their photos and followed George, Paul, John, and Ringo wherever they went.The book begins with an overview, starting with Brian Epstein’s birth in 1934 to The Beatles signing with him in 1961, in between covering their time in Liverpool, their start as the Quarrymen, their gigs in Hamburg, and the dawn of what would become their iconic hairstyles. Each ensuing chapter contains unique timelines that highlight notable daily activities each year, from concert dates, to personal matters (Paul marries Linda March 12, 1969), to epic events that solidify the group''s fame forever (Apple Records launches August 11, 1968). The book finishes with a chapter on the band’s breakup and their lives, post-Beatles .Included are 15 removable reproductions of collectible memorabilia, including: - Concert posters and flyers for the group’s performances, including at the Odeon (with Roy Orbison in 1963) and their record-breaking Shea Stadium appearance (1965) - 1963 program cover for a Royal performance in the presence of the Queen Mother at the Prince of Wales Theatre - 1963 signed souvenir card from their Scottish tour of Glasgow, Kirkcaldy, and Dundee - Cover from a pictorial commemorating their 1964 performances at Carnegie Hall - 1965 Christmas card signed by the Fab Four - 1966 advertisement for the band’s US single release, “Yellow Submarine/Eleanor Rigby” - Cartoon and caricature cards Mirrorpix has a sensational collection of material that was taken to feed an insatiable desire to see the band, their families, hangers on, and what they all did. Record launches, publicity events, holidays, flights in and out of the country, TV broadcasts, film work, births, deaths, and marriages: every event was photographed. With this sort of coverage, unsurprisingly, much material was not published, and it is this treasure trove that is showcased in this rare and exciting collection. Collectors of all stripes will cherish the removable reproductions of memorabilia.

Tattoo Coloring - Editors Of Chartwell Books - Bog - Quarto Publishing Group USA Inc - Plusbog.dk

Express yourself, find inspiration, and unwind as you color beautiful and intriguing tattoo designs. Tattoos can be traced back thousands of years and across cultures. Once a counterculture symbol of our modern era, these permanent skin designs are now ubiquitous and endlessly assorted, from the OG tattoos—pin-ups, anchors, hearts with “mom” written across, maybe a dagger through a rose; featuring bold lines and bright colors—to contemporary ink in a broad array of styles such as fine-line, watercolor, blackwork, black and grey, tribal, ignorant, cartoon, 3D, abstract, realistic, and patchwork. But aside from looking cool, why do people subject themselves to thousands of pin pricks in their skin? Believe it or not, it just might be for “tattoo therapy.” The little bit of pain involved in getting a tattoo causes the body to release endorphins ; dubbed the body’s natural painkillers, endorphins also help reduce stress and improve a sense of well-being. Just like coloring! Though hopefully there’s no pain involved, the simple act of coloring similarly calms the mind and helps you relax . Whether you’re coloring or getting inked, your mind is focused on the task at hand; you put down your phone and tune out all the noise and distractions of the world. And, like sitting with a tattooist to sort out the tatt you’re going to get, this coloring book is designed to help you explore your own personal creative side . In the pages of Tattoo Coloring , you will find: - More than 120 gorgeous designs, including vipers, eagles, and tigers; skulls, daggers, and nautical imagery; and roses, pin-ups, and doves - Line-drawn art with imagery that will put you in a relaxed state of mind - An intricate meditative pattern to color on the back of each page Just as there is no right or wrong way to add color to your body, there is no right or wrong way to use this book. You can color in these beautiful illustrations however you wish and in whatever way feels right to you. One of the great things about coloring is that it’s accessible to anyone, regardless of artistic capabilities. Being able to add your own colors helps make it more personal and, unlike with a fresh tattoo, there’s no pressure to make these drawings perfect. Whether you’re sporting a full sleeve or your canvas is as plain as the day you were born, Tattoo Coloring has all the iconic imagery you’d expect. So, while you may be contemplating your next (or first!) tattoo design, there’s no time like now to grab a colored pencil, celebrate tattoo culture, and get coloring! Chartwell Coloring Books is the ultimate coloring book series, encompassing designs of every kind. From intriguing abstract patterns to beautiful pictures from the natural, technological, and fantasy worlds, each of these coloring books will soothe the mind and inspire the inner creative in anyone. With so many variations of complex, beautiful designs in each book, you’ll have plenty of pages to bring to life. Whether young or old, creative or not, this series has something for you.
