Go behind the scenes for a look at Warren Johnson's path to becoming The Professor of Pro Stock.
This new book illuminates the life and career of one of the most prolific engine builders and racers ever to compete in the ultra-competitive Pro Stock category, drag racing's most technologically advanced class.
Warren Johnson navigated the world of factory hot rods for more than 45 years, devoting himself to full-time racing in 1975 and relentlessly pursuing horsepower and victory from the driver's seat and the engine room. Johnson's devotion to research and development opened the door to a long-standing relationship with Oldsmobile and GM Performance, beginning with the birth of the Drag Racing Competition Engine (DRCE) that is still used by every competitive team in the class.
He excelled when it came to outthinking the competition and was outspoken on matters that he deemed vital. Johnson embraced thinking outside the box and pushed boundaries to affect change in terms of both safety and the advancement of the class, but he also knew when it was appropriate and necessary to put on a good show for the fans.
Through his tireless efforts and with the support of a small crew that included his wife, Arlene, and son, Kurt, Johnson claimed two IHRA championships and six NHRA world titles, along with an astounding 97 national event wins that placed him in the position of being the most-winning driver of all time in the Pro Stock category.
This book, complete with photos from the family archive and striking professional images of Johnson's many race cars, dives into it all, beginning with W.J.'s childhood and early days of match racing when he developed the stern frugality and fierce resourcefulness that was the foundation of a tremendously successful, though sometimes controversial, career.

Описание: Koza Dabasa explores Okinawa's island culture and its ghosts of war through the lens of Nenes, a four-woman pop group that draws on the distinctiveness and exoticism of Okinawan musical tradition. Both a tropical island paradise and the site of some of the bloodiest battles of World War II, Okinawa has a unique culture and a contentious history. Its musical traditions are distinct from other parts of Japan, varying in instrumentation, poetic forms, and musical scales. Nenes marks its cultural difference as Okinawan by emphasizing its own exoticism, expressed through its music, fashion, imagery, and performance style. Henry Johnson listens to Koza Dabasa as a representation of Okinawa's relationship with the Japanese music industry and with the broader themes of international warfare and local tourism. 33 1/3 Global, a series related to but independent from 33 1/3, takes the format of the original series of short, music-based books and brings the focus to music throughout the world. With initial volumes focusing on Japanese and Brazilian music, the series will also include volumes on the popular music of Australia/Oceania, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and more.

Lloyd George was the 'Man Who Won The War', and a key figure in seeking to resolve the issues of peace. These years were marked by labour unrest, unemployment and strife. The way in which his post-war coalition government handled the unprecedented upsurge of labour unrest set much of the tone for the inter-war years. This book shows how the leading radical and practical reformer of British politics - who always believed in a juster society - was an undoctrinaire man and a reconciler of conflicts but who somehow became associated with reactionary forces, both in industrial relations, in intervention in bolshevik Russia, and in Irish policy. Churchill said of Lloyd George: "Much of his work abides, some of it will grow greatly in the future, and those who come after him will find the pillars of his life's toil upstanding, massive, and indestructible." He spoke of his "power of living in the present without taking short views." Wrigley demonstrates how very skilful Lloyd George was in defusing challenging situations at home with mastery - such as the unrest in mining, in the armed forces and in the police. He was the incomparable creative and persuasive conciliator, and his response to crises was a firm and determined one both in public and in private. He was able to call, too, on the clarity of his political vision and on his experience in his earlier social reforms which affected the lives and happiness of millions. Winston Churchill described him as "the greatest political genius of his day" with "more insight than any other statesman." This book is a key contribution to our understanding of the dilemmas of the inter-war period, and of the great man himself.
