Launched in 1971, the Alfasud was an all-new departure for Alfa Romeo, both in its design and its execution. Originally it was developed with the dual intentions of launching the company into large-volume production and providing a more affordable model than their highly regarded sports cars. However, its story was far from straightforward. Although respected for its technically brilliant design and universally praised for its ride and handling, the model never quite reached its full sales potential and its reputation was marred by problems that could not have been foreseen. With over 240 photographs, this book includes: A brief history of Alfa Romeo to the end of the 1960sThe development of the Alfasud’s design and the political reasons for building a new factoryThe car’s reception from both the press and ownersThe evolution of the model from initial prototypes, to the improvements to build quality and performance, including the Giardinetta and Sprint variations;Alfasuds in competitionA discussion of the political and labour problems, as well as the early quality-control issues, andSpecification tables, performance data, chassis numbers, engine codes and colour charts.

Charles Montier was an engineer, mechanic and Ford dealer in France who improved the ubiquitous Ford model T for the French market. He also modified and raced Fords in the 1920s and '30s with some success for himself, his son and his racing customers. This is the story of how growing up around the family blacksmith's forge and his early training led him to being known as the "Sorcier de la Ford" translated as the Sorcerer or Wizard. The Ford model T was not the obvious choice to race in the first running of the world famous 24-hour race at Le Mans but not only did Charles take on the challenge but he finished in a credible 14th place. He was even more successful in hill climb events in France and Belgium and then contested Grands Prix races in Europe against the best known names of the day. This book aims to bring him the belated fame he so richly deserved.

C'est l'histoire de comment grandir autour de la forge du forgeron familial et sa formation précoce, l'ont amené à être connu sous le nom de "Sorcier de la Ford". Le modèle Ford T n'était pas le choix évident pour participer à la première course de la célèbre course mondiale de 24 heures au Mans, mais non seulement Charles a relevé le défi, mais il a terminé à une 14e place crédible. Il a eu plus de succès dans les courses de côte en France et en Belgique, puis a disputé des Grands Prix en Europe contre les noms les plus connus de l'époque. Ce livre vise à lui apporter la renommée qu'il méritait tant.

The world has changed. And we feel it in our homes, schools, and congregations.We can hardly remember a time when we didn't feel the influence of that back pocket device. The average social media user spends about two-and-a-half hours a day using social media. That's more than enough time to shape our values and desires. Pastors, teachers, and parents feel their influence slipping away.With a biblically informed voice, Martin both exposes the ways the Internet is distorting our life in Christ and shows us how to faithfully respond. Martin looks at how the social Internet is changing how we understand sex and beauty--what to do about the epidemic levels of anxiety--and how to redirect our hearts to worship Jesus Christ.Martin provides the biblical wisdom, direction, and hope necessary to combat The Wolf in Their Pockets.

In Terms of Service, you will learn about how social media affects you in ways you may not realize, and you will be equipped to push back against the hold it has on your mind and your heart.

The first collection from UK Writer and Poet Chris Martin, this eclectic mixture of performance poems, short fiction and comics acts a high-water mark for his work to date. The work spans topics including parenthood, drunken nights out, spontaneous group singing, depression, and glitter and has been created over a year of performance and public projects. Inspired by the poets of his childhood including the Mersey Beat Poets and Spike Milligans, Chris has blended their irreverent and often sideways perspective with the performance passion of modern artists like Scroobius Pip, Jess Green and Adam Kammerlin to create a style of his own. His work is not always safe for work, but is always designed to make you smile as well as think.
