As a centre of technical excellence for over thirty years. Britain is at the sharp end of the worldwide motor sport industry, and playing ever harder to win. Most of the sport's Grand Prix teams are based in the UK and many of them have British managers and designers who act as a showcase for the UK's skill base - past, present and future. The success of Britain's Formula One industry has gone largely unrecognized outside the close-knit world of the racing aficionado. Now, with Formula One: Made in Britain, Clive Couldwell reveals what makes this industry tick and why many of the world's players choose to come here. He explores Motorsport Valley, an area which covers the south and Midlands of the UK, where 75 per cent of the world's single-seater racing cars are designed and built, and talks to many of F1's leading lights. Winning in F1 depends on innovation and performance-critical engineering, and in this fascinating and insightful book, Clive Couldwell show how UK research and development are leading the world., Virgin Books, 2004, 4, Hamburg, Germany: Rowohlt Taschenbuch Verlag, 2007. 1st Edition .

Novel of human cruelty from Austrian playwright & novelist, winner of 2004 Nobel Prize for Literature Elfriede Jelinek (1946 -). Story of Erika Kohut, a piano professor at the Vienna Conservatory. She lives with a controlling mother under complete surveillance. Disappointed w/Erika's failed pianist career, the mother reigns in terror. Erika resorts to self-mutilation by knives and inflicting the same cruelty & humiliation suffered at home on to her piano students. Then master student Walter Klemmerer enters the scene. He courts Erika who responds dismissively. When Klemmerer proved undeterred, Erika writes a detailed proposal of sadistic sex, which, being the initiator, would secure her dominance in the union.
