books about: driving     books:       Driving with Dead People27 reviews Simon & Schuster Spotlight Entertainment, 2007 couldn't put it down I like some others, purchased this book thinking it would be a lighthearted read and it is; just about a heavy subject. I absolutely loved the book. It was expertly written, sad, funny, and moving. Everything you would want a book to be. Above all odds, Monica rose above the chaos. I just wish her dad and mom could get what they deserve; a long stay in a nasty jail cell. Bravo Monica.             Go Ahead - Take the Wheel13 reviews Dave Gran Dragon Publishing, 2006 EXCELLENT THIS BOOK IS WORTH IT'S WEIGHT IN GOLD. IF YOU HAVE EVERY CONSIDERED RACING, THEN BUY THIS BOOK. IT WILL SAVE YOU ALOT OF TIME AND MONEY.             Invisible Driving41 reviews Alistair McHarg BookSurge Publishing, 2007 A Masterpiece Alistair McHarg's memoir of his battle with Manic Depression is a Masterpiece. It is a gripping tale, wrought with heart wrenching emotion and bizarre hilarity that grabs hold of the reader and does not let go. McHarg's writing genius is undeniable. His wordplay and razor sharp wit is as much art as it is technical perfection. This is a stunning piece of literature.             Driving Ambition: The Official Inside Story of the McLaren F117 reviews Doug Nye, Ron Dennis, ... Virgin Publishing, 2000 Absolutely essential. The depth and breadth of this book are astonishing. I just started reading it seriously a few days ago, and rather like the car, it goes quickly. The tone is stiff-British and humorless, although I'm glad it avoids so many of the exclamations and hyperbole usually seen in books of this type. Much of the text is made up of quotes from the main players involved with the F1 project, but Doug Nye ...             Honku: The Zen Antidote to Road Rage18 reviews Aaron Naparstek Villard, 2003 The Zen of driving After author Aaron Naparstek had a brush with danger when confronting a honking driver, he found a way to sublimate the frustration and anger of traffic annoyances into calming poetry. Through the use of the 5-7-5 syllable pattern of haiku, he has now brought enlightenment and laughter to the topics of road rage, traffic gridlock, high fuel prices, lack of parking, and many other automotive ...             Speed Secrets: Professional Race Driving Techniques (Speed Secrets)30 reviews Ross Bentley Motorbooks, 1998 TRACK TIME This book is an absolute must for any novice or even intermediate racer.

MUST READ MATERIAL!             Guide to Colorado Backroads & 4-Wheel Drive Trails16 reviews Charles A. Wells Funtreks Inc., 1998 Worth Every Penny I've lived in Colorado since 1989 and have spent an unbelievable amount of time in the mountains here. I purchased the first edition of this book at a little gift shop at the top of Monarch Pass, gave it a permanent home in my Jeep, and I haven't looked back since. It's a fairly pricey book, but given the accuracy of the information contained within, not to mention the time and effort it takes to ...             Going Faster! Mastering the Art of Race Driving41 reviews Carl Lopez Bentley Publishers, 2001 Best racing book I've encountered I bought this book prior to attending the Skip Barber Racing School, and it was the perfect preparation. The book goes into far more detail than the actual school has time for, so by internalizing it before attending the school, you are well prepared to put the theories into practice. If the book has any flaw at all, it is that it treats race car driving like something that can be approached ...             The Unfair Advantage16 reviews Mark Donohue, Paul Van Valkenburgh Bentley Publishers, 2000 A Must-Own Classic There are very few motorsports books extant that can be called true classics or world-changers. This is one of them, and it's one of the best on top of that. Mark Donahue was an extrordinary individual, not only a blindingly fast driver, but also a talented, disciplined, and most importantly, curious engineer. To have the virtues of both top-level driver and top-level engineer embodied in the ...             Driving with the Devil: Southern Moonshine, Detroit Wheels, and the Birth of NASCAR26 reviews Neal Thompson Three Rivers Press, 2007 I am not a Nascar fan But a fan of history and racing in general and this book is in one word - EXCELLENT.             Taxi driving: A study of leasing in New York City11 reviews Allen Russell Stevens Allen Russell Stevens, 1991 HOW TO MAKE WAR Background 1.

This book is great because it tells the story from both sides of the coin, in a way that can be easily understood by all parties involved.             Driving Sideways: A Novel10 reviews Ballantine Books, 2008 Such fun! OMG, what a fun book! I couldn't put it down. So well written. The details were explicit enough to put me there in the car with Leigh without being the least bit boring. In some cases, I was frantically turning the pages to find out what happened next. As a proofreader, writer, and editor, I oftentimes get stuck in analyzing the writing -- not in this case. I got lost in the story and absolutely ...             Big Joe's Trailer Truck12 reviews Joe Mathieu Random House Books for Young Readers, 1974 Good for Girls too, Especially if they're Tomboys This is an interesting little book that my girls really liked. Yes, I said girls, but they were and still are Tomboys, so it's not that unusual for them to like a book about trucks. This story follows Joe as he gets up in the morning, goes to work at the truck depot, says hello to his go-workers, gets in his truck and makes a deliver of toys to a city several hundred miles away. Joe is on the ...             Bumper to Bumper : The Complete Guide to Tractor-Trailer Operations (third edition)11 reviews Mike Byrnes & Assoc, 1997 Great book for future Driver If you have never driven a tractor trailer this is a great book. It covers everything from a drivers perspective. The truck itself including: Engines, Transmissions, Parts, Driving techniques, Hazmat, Airbrakes, Life on the road etc. What it does not cover in great detail is if you want to start your own trucking company, or authority. It touches on parts and mentions the D.O.T and FMCSR but ...             Driving Destiny: The Science of Achievement11 reviews Kristi Luv Wilson AuthorHouse, 2003 Truth This is an excellent book. When I read this book it made me want to go out an tackle some new ideas that I had be pondering for hours, days, months, and even years.

The Technique of Motor Racing by Piero Taruffi Aloha, Thirty years ago I was a driver for the "Jim Russell International Racing Driving School" out at Willow Springs, CA USA. One of the greatest times in my life. Jim Russell (JRS) at that time had schools simultaneously on five continents. We taught in so many languages that we did not have a textbook of our own. JRS was busy training ...             Sakes Alive! A Cattle Drive10 reviews Karma Wilson Little, Brown Young Readers, 2005 Another great one from a favorite author! We have several of Karma Wilson's books and this one is one of her best. My 6 1/2 year old son isn't a reader and it is tough to find books that he enjoys, but he loves this book. We take turns acting out different sections and doing funny voices for the different characters. My 2 year old daughter asks for it too and I find myself reading it over and over to them. My favorite part is that I ...             Guide To Moab, UT Backroads & 4-Wheel Drive Trails12 reviews Charles A. Wells, Shelley Mayer Funtreks Inc, 2000 Must have If your going to Moab you have to have this book! It was a great tool for finding trails, seeing the highlights, and judging how hard they may be. My take on the trail ratings... Level 1 is just dirt roads, 2 is a little hump and bump but can be done in most off roadish vehicles, 3s are for those who've been on trail rides and feel comfortable with their ride. I didn't do any 4s but I did some ...              search for books achievement, advantage, ambition, antidote, backroads, colorado, complete, conflicts, destiny, detroit, driving, edition, fighting, grounded, invisible, leasing, mastering, moonshine, official, operations, professional, science, sideways, southern, technique, techniques, teenage, tractor, tractor-trailer, trailer books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
