Richard Burns' career has been a series of "firsts" - 1993 youngest winner in British Championship history, 1998 first Englishman ever to win an overseas World Rally Championship race, 2000 first in the Greek, Australian and Great Britain rallies; first driver ever to win the British Rally three times in a row. In 2001 he became the first English driver to win the World Rally Championship, an outstanding achievement for a man who is only 30 years old. This book is a celebration in his own words and pictures of an extraordinary natural talent honed to perfection through years of gruelling training and competition throughout the world. There are chapters on his early life - his first experience behind the wheel was at the age of eight - plus a behind the scenes look at rallying, one of Britain's fastest growing spectator sports. The book covers the role of the co-driver, what it's like behind the wheel of a rally car and all sorts of technical information about the cars to delight the enthusiast.

Driving Ambition

"The Civil War defined us as what we are and it opened us to being what we became, good and bad things.... It was the crossroads of our being, and it was a hell of a crossroads: the suffering, the enormous tragedy of the whole thing."- Shelby Foote, from The Civil War When the illustrated edition of The Civil War was first published, The New York Time hailed it as "a treasure for the eye and mind." Now Geoffrey Ward's magisterial work of history is available in a text-only edition that interweaves the author's narrative with the voices of the men and women who lived through the cataclysmic trial of our nationhood: not just Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, and Robert E. Lee, but genteel Southern ladies and escaped slaves, cavalry officers and common foot soldiers who fought in Yankee blue and Rebel gray. The Civil War also includes essays by our most distinguished historians of the era: Don E. Fehrenbacher, on the war's origins; Barbara J. Fields, on the freeing of the slaves; Shelby Foote, on the war's soldiers and commanders; James M. McPherson, on the political dimensions of the struggle; and C. Vann Woodward, assessing the America that emerged from the war's ashes.

The great prehistoric stone circle at Avebury on Salisbury Plain provides the starting point and central image for a series of lyrical meditations, exploring modern man's difficult and painful search for a centre. Stone is the connecting principle, and humanity's roots are rediscovered in the modes of perception of earlier cultures.

Keys to Transformation: Ceri Richards & Dylan Thomas

A few hours before the death of Dylan Thomas in 1953, the Welsh artist Ceri Richards made a series of forty drawings in a copy of Thomas' Collected Poems. These were published in facsimile in 1980 with an introduction by Richard Burns, one of the leading European artists of his time whose work was greatly influenced by the poetry of Thomas. The publication of Keys To Transformation provides valuable insights into both Richard's and Thomas' work. Taking as its point of departure the 1953 drawings, it also explores Richard's work methods, his development in the light of Thomas' influence, and the symbols common to his and Thomas' art.
