The Billionaire and the Mechanic by Julian Guthrie Pdf

Expanded to include the behind-the-scenes story of the 34th America’s Cup and Team USA’s incredible comeback Down eight-to-one in the 34th America’s Cup in September 2013, Oracle Team USA pulled off a comeback for the ages, with eight straight wins against Emirates Team New Zealand. Julian Guthrie’s The Billionaire and the Mechanic tells the incredible story of how a car mechanic and one of the world’s richest men teamed up to win the world’s greatest race. With a lengthy new section on the 34th America’s Cup, Guthrie also shows how they did it again. The America’s Cup, first awarded in 1851, is the oldest trophy in international sports. In 2000, Larry Ellison, co-founder and billionaire CEO of Oracle Corporation, decided to run for the prize and found an unlikely partner in Norbert Bajurin, a car mechanic and Commodore of the blue-collar Golden Gate Yacht Club. After unsuccessful runs for the Cup in 2003 and 2007, they won for the first time in 2010. With unparalleled access to Ellison and his team, Guthrie takes readers inside the building process of these astonishing boats and the lives of the athletes who race them and throws readers into exhilarating races from Australia to Valencia.

Revealing the most outrageous secrets and fiercest rivalries, The Mechanic follows Priestley as he travels the world working in the high-octane atmosphere of the F1 pit lane. While the spotlight is most often on the superstar drivers, the mechanics are the guys who make every World Champion, and any mistakes can have critical consequences. However, these highly skilled engineers don't just fine-tune machinery and crunch data through high-spec computers. These boys can seriously let their hair down. Whether it's partying on luxury yachts or gravity-defying photos aboard aeroplanes, this is a world which thrills on and off the track. This is Formula One, but not like you've seen it before.

The Blind Mechanic by Marilyn Davidson Elliot Pdf

A daughter’s inspiring biography of her father, who lost his sight in a massive maritime disaster—and went on to build a rewarding life and career. Eric Davidson was a beautiful, fair-haired toddler when the historic Halifax Explosion struck, devastating the Nova Scotia capital and killing almost two thousand people while seriously injuring thousands more. Eric lost both eyes—a tragedy that his mother never fully recovered from. Eric, however, was positive and energetic. He also developed a fascination with cars and how they worked—and he later decided, against all likelihood, to become a mechanic. Assisted by his brothers, who read to him from manuals, he worked hard, passed examinations, and carved out a decades-long career. This is the true story of his remarkable life and relentless determination, as told by his daughter.

The Mechanic's Companion ? 1850 by Peter Nicholson Pdf

"More than a century has elapsed since Moxon's ingenious work on the building art, called 'Mechanical Exercises' was first published. It long continued useful and popular. The present state of practice allowed very well of a similar work with improvements. Mr. Nicholson has followed the steps of his predecessor, and treats separately of the arts enumerated in his title page." J. Taylor, publisher, 1812 The Mechanic's Companion, published first in 1812 as Mechanical Exercises and later titled The Mechanic's Companion, was and is a standard reference to the building trades, including carpentry, joinery, bricklaying, masonry, slating, plastering, painting, smithing and turning. This, the 1850 edition, is identical in text content and engraved plates to the first edition published under the title "The Mechanic's Companion"in 1831. In print for over half a century, The Mechanic's Companion "...describe(s) the several tools belonging to each branch of business, next the methods of performing the various manual operations or exercises, to which they are applicable, there are further illustrated and explained by numerous plates..." Peter Nicholson. The Toolemera Press re-publishes classic books on early crafts, trades and industries, from our personal library.
