Book Description
... John Cooper designed and built some of the best cars ever raced. He began with the Cooper 500, a then revolutionary car assembled wrecked Fiats in the parts-scarce days just after World War II. Next came the Cooper 1000, and then it was "more power, more speed, more everything", as Cooper says, until the Mini Cooper, the famous "S", and the great Cooper Climax Formula One that began sweeping the Grand Prix circuit in 1959 ...

The Bahamas Speed Weeks
Author: Terry O'NeilPublisher: Veloce Publishing Ltd
ISBN: 1845840186
Category : Automobile racing
Languages : en
Pages : 343
Book Description
The vision of one man, Captain Sherman "Red" Crise formed the basis for what was to become the Bahamas Speed Weeks, a series of motor races held on the island of New Providence in the Bahamas. They started in the mid 1950s and continued for 13 years, before ending due to a mix of political decisions, ill fortune and a shift in the direction motor racing had taken over that period of time. These years were described by many commentators as the golden age of motor racing, where internationally acclaimed drivers attended the Speed Weeks to mix with the many amateur racers from America who came to enjoy the scenario of sun, parties and racing. For many drivers the social scene was as important as the racing, and in latter years prize money was an extra incentive to turn up. This well researched account tracks the history of the Speed Weeks with its roller-coaster ride throughout its 13 years existence, and includes stunning photos, complete statistics, and more. With a foreword by Denise McCluggage.
Climate Change and Capitalism in Australia
Author: Hans A. BaerPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000455971
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 216
Book Description
Recognizing that climate politics has been an increasingly contentious and heated topic in Australia over the past two decades, this book examines Australian capitalism as a driver of climate change and the nexus between the corporations and Coalition and Australian Labor parties. As a highly developed country, Australia is punching above its weight in terms of contributing to greenhouse gas emissions despite rising temperatures, droughts, water shortages and raging bushfires, storm surges and flooding, and the bleaching of the Great Barrier Reef. Drawing upon both archival and ethnographic research, Hans Baer examines Australian climate politics at the margins, namely the Greens, the labour union, the environmental NGOs, and the grass-roots climate movement. Adopting a climate justice perspective which calls for "system change, not climate change" as opposed to the conventional approach of seeking to mitigate emissions through market mechanisms and techno-fixes, particularly renewable energy sources, this book posits system-challenging transitional steps to shift Australia toward an eco-socialist vision in keeping with a burgeoning global socio-ecological revolution. Accessibly written and including an interview with renowned comedian and climate activist Rod Quantock OAM, this book is essential reading for academics, students and general readers with an interest in climate change and climate activism.
